Though there is an increased incentive to mine in null, that same time spent mining can also be spent instead in hauling compressed high-sec ore/ice for the same 20% bonus in null refineries. So the status quo and incentive on actually utilising null resources, is still mitigated by that same time instead being spent in hauling from high-sec, as was the case before the change. Whereas before that activity involved hauling compressed guns for reprocessing into minerals in null, the same activity now continues instead as hauling compressed ice/ore with an additional profit due to the refining rates that exceeds that which was possible with gun compression hauling. Subsequently it also becomes possible for null to manufacture that direct increased refining yield of compressed ice/ore from high-sec into products, which can then be compressed and re-shipped back to high-sec markets for sale at a margin that high-sec manufacturing cannot feasibly match due to high-sec not being able to compete with the ice/ore refine yield in minerals garnered by null from the compressed ice/ore they imported from high in the first place. What actual mining activity this might incentivise in null, would be for the ore types that are not available in high, which again, due to the refining change, can be added to the base minerals garnered efficiently from refining of imported high-sec compressed ice/ore, manufactured, compressed, and re-shipped to high-sec again for a margin that cannot be met by high-sec not only due to their local reduced refinery rates, but also due to their inability to access "cheap" rarer ores in high-sec, and even if they could, they could only refine them at a lower efficiency. Furthermore, due to the reprocessing nerf, null actually becomes even more dependant on minerals acquired through other means. Though this to a small degree incentivises mining in null for those minerals instead, as I demonstrated above, they can and will still be aquired from high-sec instead. Am I correct in any of this? So though it incentives null mining (of rare ores) to a small degree, the real profit and efficiency is still in importing compressed high-sec ice/ore (whereas before it was compressed guns) refining that at an increased efficiency, manufacturing it, and then re-selling product in high-sec at a margin that high-sec manufacturers cannot match due to their own native lower refinement rates. I don't think this is necessarily "bad" for high-sec, but I think the incentive for null actually finally utilising its own domestic resources to the full is a bit overstated in many interpretations of this change. The best efficiency and profit, to my understanding, is still in importing high-sec ice/ore, which infact is now more efficient in mineral yield than gun compression ever was, not in mining domestically in null. I don't think we will really see a substantial degree of null utilising its own ore resources as a result. If compressing high-sec ice/ore was restricted, yes, that would certainly massively incentivise domestic mining in null, but that is not the proposed change. Alts of null-dwellers can continue to mine in the safety of high-sec, compress and haul their ice/ore to null, get an increased efficiency yield in minerals, manufacture, and sell back to high-sec. At every stage of this process the profits accumulate above and beyond what was the case today, and it doesn't even require you to mine in null instead.
that's very good read and nice argumentation.
i would like invite everyone to look at it from other angle:
that refining change (particularly outpost buff - they would be best) looks very good addition if sov space holder is interested to get as many as possible renters renters.
renters actually pay isk to use null space already.
confusing part is that sov holding alliances refuse to use that space because it is too bad and need buff, but renters like it enough to pay for possibility to use (not the best) sov space.
who are renters you may ask? why they want that space if even holding alliances members better running lvl4 missions in high sec? so after summer there will be one more reason to join null as renter
remember CSM and words from one of them some time ago - if you going to remove moon goo then we need "farm & fields". there is one step to that direction and a lot of eve players very vocal about bottom - up income - so be careful what do you wish.

Also, you seem unusually concerned about the fomenting of entitlement in an organization or organizations to which you don't belong. I can't really see why this would matter to you.
No, I do not say that you should build your ships on your own, that is nonsense and what industrialists and miners are for. But thanks for trying to turn my words into your favor. What I say is that people should not be entitled to a life with a silver spoon in the mouth, but to earn their living. Because these organizations try to shape the game in way it's favorable to them, not for the game. For instance. So I have every right to be concerned and concern myself with the matters, because I don't pay money to fund your game. So, players should never strife to build a life for themselves where they don't have to toil in squalor to get what they want? This is ridiculous. All the perceived largesse and silver spoonery was wrought by our hands from nothing. If you want that, put in the work. You know, that "work" stuff you keep insisting is necessary in order to properly play the game.

You've already forgotten about the lengthy fights in B-R and HED? Your Hell Camp of N3s staging system in Detorid? Your funny token system for fleet participation, and if not done sufficiently you get booted from the alliance? This is the stuff I am talking about and this is "sure as hell" your alliance.
Giving people rewards in form of SRP is not what I disagree with; apparently everyone needs to be nannied these days. But I disagree with providing excessive SRPs, with taking away every work from the players so that they can fidge along and have way too much time at their hand, which they don't know how to spend, while others do all the work for them. This mindset is what I disagree with and which needs to be changed in order for benefactors to keep in mind that everything has a price and doesn't just fall from trees or comes floating into your mouth from milk and honey rivers. |

I particularly enjoy it when someone on the outside tries to step in and tell us how we run our alliance. It's adorable.
Also, I guess I don't see the problem with taking away the horrible money making parts of the game to encourage people to do the fun parts (PVP). The carrot is always more effective than the stick.

Reread this crappy ideas "devblog"!!!
Noticed a few things:
First, Nulsec gets ANOTHER Vamp. CCP folks simply don't get it.
Check your numbers and statistics please! Mining isn't done in Nulsec, it is done in Hisec. Why? Logistics, accessability, rentability. Drone space didn't have a single miner as alloys could be reprocessed in way larger scale any mine could ever mine!
What are CCP's plans now? introduce ANOTHER money printer for Outpost rulers: using a ferining service in nul may give more yield, but htese services will have to be paid for, so miners will still be exploited.
Furthermore, most of "cheap" mission loot is being reprocessed where? In Hisec, as space is rare for a nulsec ratter, he usually picks the most expensive items and disregards the rest.
With the recently nerfed loot drop rate and further nerfed reprocessing results, hisec missionrunning will also become less profitable.
The trouble is: CCP thinks it is a great idea as this might push more players into nulsec space, which is failry empty and mostly boring, interrupted only by short periods of ridiculous hotdrops and some "epic" space battles...
The harsh reality is this: as long as poeple in nulsec are forced to spend the most of their online time wating in CTA, fleet ops, will they be crap poor as the cannot spend their time making money ratting or mining. SRP is financed by the various income sources of larger nulsec entities. It is a tool to keep the power by keeping the "normal" habitant poor.
Now CCP will use the same method on ALL hisec residents?
LOL! People will rather quit and play Elderscrolls online or other space games before they go to nulsec.
The powerblocks there need to get resized and "ratting rights" shouldn't be able to sell, but as long as there's an idiot to buy crap, so long crap will be sold for gold.

Right now you have to put about 5.5 million SP in resorce processing, after this it will be almost 20 million. BIG JUMP. More so than tech 2 guns even.
Thats 200 days to refine everything. If you just want trit it will be much much faster.

I hate you, not for being right, but for wasting my time (see my sticky forum message). Things change and everything is relative, so deal with it like everyone else. Your loss will be absolutely puny compared to what others have had to soak up in the past with changes you very likely welcomed.
CCP now introduces some light economic and social realism and just made the sandbox a little bit bigger and more varied. Not all sand is now 100% recyclable anymore and the grass elsewhere gets a bit greener then that other patch over there. Which by any measure is much better then introducing magic items like with some of the recently introduced deployables. I for one welcome the change and applaud them for it. CCP might just have gotten the message this time around.
And you know what happens with those that cannot adapt or are unable to grasp the changing challenges in their surroundings right? In the wild they go extinct, elsewhere they become socialist and poor...while sweating fear and crying all kinds of nonsense.
To what group do you plan to belong? I hate arguing with static minds that relate everything relative to the status-quo. By definition these minds oppose logic, reason, posses a narrow view and object against solutions for issues that have half an existing workaround. Left up to them, nothing would ever progress!

You are misrepresenting the situation...
Seriously, what makes a serious miner? Lots of mining or mining each and every ore in existence? Most miners will only deal with low end ores that the level 5s refining are easy to train for. A high sec miner doesn't need ABC processing at all!
Also mining is mostly a group (or many alts) activity. Just one character of the group needs to have standings, skills and implants to refine. When using a POS to compress, even less is needed in skill points then is now! as you can skip the manufacturing and reprocessing bit altogether A miner will stay like before a miner and does not need to go above level 4 for specific ores which is enough to use T2 crystals.
If you take a look at the whole chain from ore to sales in Jita, there will be a shift. Some skills aren't needed anymore like production, while a bit more refining is needed or simply the use of a POS. Overall i think less SP will be needed for future miners trying to make a buck from mining ore. I hate arguing with static minds that relate everything relative to the status-quo. By definition these minds oppose logic, reason, posses a narrow view and object against solutions for issues that have half an existing workaround. Left up to them, nothing would ever progress!

if people are buying compressed ore locally and most of industry has moved to null then will it not stand to reason that people will stop going to jita amarr dodixie rens and save on JF fuel and just buy from the nearest low sec or null sec market hub instead? |

Why not finally restrict "perfect results" to those who follow the path of all related skills at maximum?
It's true that until now we didn't have to. At least not for reprocessing. But nearly any other task provided an increase in performance when all skills are maxed out and improved further with implants.
Why not expand this to reprocessing? Because it wasn't so before? Because it's inconvenient for those affected? Nothing unusual, right?

just use logic and answer who needs more isk ?:
1) that cowards high sec bear who affraid leave highsec
2) pvper who lose ships or wana get shiny super
3) and person who trying get real money out of game
