Seriously, I love it when people trot this gem out.

Let me ask you a question: is lowsec mining MORE or LESS profitable than nullsec mining?

Because actual risk is much greater mining in low sec than in null. But profits are much higher renting space in null. And depending on where you're renting, the odds of having to deal with unexpected PvP are pretty remote.

So why do people not have to pay a fuel cost to run the siphons? Why do they get to run for free? They don't have to do any real setup, they don't have to fight

So a one off cost is comparable to an ongoing maintenance, and the fact that it pays for itself in under a day sounds like a reasonable price?

And while a reinforcement timer would help encourage fights, at the rate they can be scattered out across moons it would mean people have hundreds of timers to contest with all day.

No, I'm saying it provides risk averse people with a risk free way of making passive income with nearly no effort,

Which is great, except ALL of that requires thousands of people working together, working to provide our level of safety.

That is a completely different thing to the risk aversion of people who want the game to naturally provide them ways to avoid all risk.

You want to be able to run around, on your own with absolutely no risk dragging in heaps of income without having to risk a damn thing and without having to interact with anyone else.

Well guess what buddy, it's a multiplayer game. If you just want to play a solo game, you wont't get all the rewards.

And no, the siphoner risks absolutely nothing in a covops hauler dumping a structure that is cheap enough to effectively be called free for passive income.

while you, running solo think you should be showered with riches for running and hiding.
