e-honoure has nothing at all to do with it. CCP has created a system that is far, far, far too easy to farm with very little risk, and now they are talking about removing some of that risk. If they were to simultaneously also make sleeper farming harder to do, I would be far more accepting of this change, but without that, all this will do is encourage even more mostly nullsec alt farming corps to live in w-space. This is bead for all of us that actually live there, as we don't get fights from the farmers, we get ganks at best, and their farming injects trillions of ISK into the economy as well as decreasing the value of Sleeper salvage. You can't be locked out of a wormhole. You just have to roll holes until you get access back. Sure, that's a pain in the ass, but if we made "is a pain in the ass" relevant to these discussions, eve itself would be in a pretty bad place. :V And, yes, e-honor has everything to do with it. Wormholers have created this weird film of entitlement that somehow makes it a sin to utilize wormhole space for making money; that only PvPers should live in wormhole space. This is your fabrication alone, based on a completely artificial set of social norms to which you subscribe. While you are free to attempt to enforce your social norms upon others however you see fit, seeing as wormhole space is 0.0 security and shooting others has no automatic retribution +í la CONCORD or gate guns, the game mechanics are also not beholden to enforce your social norms for you.
It's not a sin to make money in wormholes, for many of us being to make good money and have fun pvping is the sole reason that we moved in wormholes.
The fact is that wormhole space is slowly turning into a risk-free carebear zone. It's not about the api removal, which is sad but not something we won't learn to deal with in time. It's just that the incentives to make content in wh space are harder and harder to reach.
The fact that since the what you me call it scanner update you don't even need a prober anymore means we not have a lot more farmers who survive because you have to be a bloody Idiot to not watch for sigs.
Allready in wh space you need to have many alts, having to drop a scout in every system if you want to see when farmers farms is just so much effort and might make just wonder
Still worth it? Wormhole space is uncharted territory, but it's getting to easy to make risk-free isk in wh space, even F1 mashings quadboxing idiots can do it. |
