Folks, read the newest dev blog. The goons in the post are gloating in their posts, so you know it is terrible for high sec.
In a few months, mission runners will now have to invest weeks and weeks of training, plus buy a hideously expensive implant, to get the privilege of a 27.6% nerf to all mission loot refines.

To be fair, there's a mission runner in my corp who loots and refines his mission loot... He actually gets more from that per hour that a dedicated miner friend of his...
So yeah, this is a buff to mining and refining not a foot up the mission runners arses.

Link to devblog please... Stupid search function gone kaput on me damn phone...

So yeah, this is a buff to mining and refining AND a foot up the mission runners arses.

Were you around when they nerfed mission loot, years back? That was quite a hit to mission-running income, for those who looted their wrecks.

Yeah, I was.
This is just another cut in the "death by a thousand cuts" to high sec.
CCP truly does hate the majority of its subscription base.

Or you could just sell your loot to someone that makes such refines their profession in the first place, as most people already do.

Guess who else it nerfs? nullsec anomaly runners. MTUs plus chained anomalies makes looting very efficient and a large portion of income.

Guess who it doesn't nerf at all? hisec mission blitzers that don't loot.

You do know that the best income from missions involves no looting right?

This will have no impact at all to mission runners who run missions effectively.

What you say is true, but for the fact is that vast majority of null sec anom runners don't loot.
And most mission runners do loot in high sec.

Guess the MTU was to popular a module, and the tractor beam bonus of the Marauder just became even more useless.

how doy ou come upon the metrics that most high sec mission runners loot?

and if one does loot most isk comes from meta iv stuff which is crap to reprocess in the first place.

Confirming this. You only reprocess the very cheap stuff (<50k ISK items) anyway, you sell the good stuff directly on the market.

In reality this is an extremely small nerf, and with the amount of nullbear whining we've had over the last few months, it could've been a lot worse.

So suck it up, HTFU, adapt or die, etc etc etc.

Not sure how you are doing your math, but this is a huge huge hit.
Have you seen the value of large smart bombs, 1600 mm armour plates, and 100 Mn MwD's, just for a few examples.
They sell at mineral value.
They are worth between 800,000 and 1 million each.

At first I thought they were taking a 27.6% nerf.
Now, after re-reading the dev blog, I realize it is actually a 45% nerf.
That is monstrous.

So yeah, all the propaganda by the null sec cartels was worth it to them.
This is a huge hit to high sec income.
