I remember there being a promise that you'd replace the EY-1005 loot spew bonus once loot spew was removed? |

Actually, this is the much bigger issue. When loot spew removal was first brought up, there was a large debate over the drops and their impact on the market, that ended in this post, stating that rewards would be increased, if anything. |

Sorry for being trigger-happy with the misquoting and the hyperbole, CCP Affinity.

Thus, intuitively, you'd think this would make exploration more lucrative again (because while there is less loot, that loot is now worth more), and thus, more explorers.
Price elasticity of supply for exploration is a good amount on the inelastic side. As in, even if prices go up, the number of explorers won't go up nearly enough to keep loot prices at a "decent" level.
While on the other hand, the price elasticity of demand for T2 rigs is pretty damn elastic. If T2 rigs prices double, a good chunk of the customer base will just stop buying them.
Which is why you have these people, who built up their fortune around the Odyssey T2 rig popularity bloom, come in whenever this topic is brought up and exaggerate the effects of reduced loot. |

Removing the loot spew is great, but I would like to argue that if you doubled the amount of loot in odyssey you really need to halve it again to where it was before, anything less and the sites are still worthless.
I've dried up Jita's entire supply of WH relic loot too many times to count over the last month. Please go back to running them. |
