Good for you!
I hope you make the best of your opportunity.

But you don't represent me.

Why are so many of you angered by this?

Deal with it.

Take a chill pill.
Your anger levels are not healthy, or justified.

Uhm no.
No mention of him legally representing me in the EULA or that link.

And yes, I pay for the service.
But I don't pay Malcanis, I pay CCP.

I have a relationship with CCP.
Malcanis is just some random with a soapbox.

Citation still missing.

Try again!

The Council of Stellar Management (CSM) is a player-elected council who represent the views of the members of the EVE Online community to CCP.

Little reminder btw:

There are no exceptions, regardless of the infraction. Representatives are not only expected to uphold the social contract that all society members are held accountable to, but should also set a behavior standard for everyone else to follow."

Has to do with watching your mouth while on your precious little soapbox.

272% more isk/m3 max mining in null than HS is a considerable income advantage, I get it though math is hard.

Easy math friend go check the isk m3 prices and punch the numbers up for yourself. Or would you prefer the 192% average isk/m3 mining all the things. Null Sec is better in every way for mining (but not refining in terms of sov null). But w/e recycled arguments are a waste of time. This change results in less overall production capacity for an increase to Sov mining potential.

So wooopdeee doo. Grrr Goons and all that.

The math isn't hard 19% combined reduction across HS, LS, NS, and an added ~20% in Sov NS =/= status quo. Unless of course all refining is done in Sov Null...but of course we know that isn't going to happen.

This of course ignores the unquantifiable 45% reduction to reprocessing which is a blanket nerf across all space and will dip into markets in HS, LS and NS equally. Which equates to a net reduction in materials available for production, meaning more people will have to mine, or less people will have to produce.

All to benefit a nonexistent Sov Null mining industry. But hey im sure you are right, why would people not jump all over 20% more refining yield when they left 192% isk/m3 sitting there all these years.

Depends, are you looking for MAX Profit? Or just mining everything?

If you are looking at max profitability you are comparing Mercoxit to Veldspar, if you are looking at mining everything then you need to average out the profitability for everything.

On a one to one case basis everything in NS is more profitable than everything in HS in terms of profitibility. Even Gneiss (which is only about 30% more profitable.)

You could make the argument that measuring against veld is misleading, but it is the best selling HS ore in terms of making cash now instead of later due to its singular mineral type, just like Merc. Since it is better to move minerals from Point A-B it is easier to buy the best Mineral volume for your buck...which is mostly always NS ores, exception being of course, Trit from Veldspar.

So for max mining in Null you target Mercoxit vs Max mining HS Veldspar for 272% more isk/m3 and for just mining anything in your belt you net 192% more isk/m3 in NS vs HS.

NS mining is and always has been more profitable than anything you can do in HS. Mostly because NS mining is non existant and the market is very demand heavy not supply heavy (keeping prices high.)

This huge nerf to high sec and low sec is not even the last nerf we are going to witness with this June release.
