Ok. I haven't done any level 4 missions since before the last patch and there are many posts on nerfed missions such as IO and Rogue Drone Harassment not being farmable any longer. So the question is, for us empire mission runners, are there any farmable lvl 4s anymore? What about Worlds Collide? Or will we have to find yet another way to make quick, consistent, ISK?
Your thoughts are appreciated. Thx.

My thoughts are that missions were never meant to be "almost-but-not-quite" done for 7 days before you finally finish it, and that doing it is the very definition of "exploiting game mechanics".

Level 4 Worlds Collide and new Mordus Headhunters are very farmable missions. WC had its bounties upped by a lot and is soloable if you dont have to use drones. There is a ton of battleships in Mordus Headhunters and can be easily done with a gist booster and officer hardeners.
Farming has never been better.

You know....
Actualy picking up the mission, completing it and doing the next and so on makes you more money.

Reduce mission time limits to 36 or 48 hours. 7 days is silly.

If the time limits are reduced from 7 days, it will make it hard for some of us casual gamers to complete them. With only a few hours available to play every 3 or 4 days, if I don't complete it one day, I may have to wait a few days before I can try it again.

I believe he knows that...His point is still valid...He may not be able to complete the mission in a single attempt, and therefore wantws to ensure he gets a chance to try it a second time...this avoids a possible standings hit that might otherwise occur if he had to abandon the mission.
Unless I'm missing something...

That would be the rules you agreed to when you signed up to play EVE, which include reporting any possible exploits to CCP and not actually working them until someone else does.
Or did you lose the ability to read when you decided to warp the original intent of missions for the sake of easy ISK? ________________________________________________

I really dont see the issue with 7 day missions!
I accepted one, lost it because I play around eve downtime (issues with being a worldwide mmorpg) and i only got to attempt to do it again to look at my journal mid mission and see that it was expiring in 10 minutes?
7 days is great. Dont change it. Leave missions as being farmable. Why is it even an issue for some players that we keep 7 day missions? Who or what is affecting?
I dont want to be playing this game 12 hours a day to make enough isk in a few months to upgrade my ship.

If you need faction/officer stuff to do Mordus Headhunters L4 you need remedial mission running classes -= Save the Gila! Fix its grid and cpu! =-

Here is a thought... don't make the missions respawn after downtime. That way they can't be farmed and you can pick-up from where you left off when you have some more time to be playing later in the week. As far as I'm concerned this has nothing to do with the 7 day completion window.

I dunno about you - actually I do - you want to play the game on easy, continue farming the same free-isk missions in .5 and above for as long as you possibly can with minimal risk. THAT is pathetic.

Why do you care what other people do though? How does it directly or even indirectly affect your game? Give reasons for your angst against people farming missions!!!

Other people getting easy money = more isk in the economy = higher prices on mods cause more players want an item and have the money to pay more for it.

The only problem is that missions respawn. 7 days to complete? So what. Just make sure the ships, roids and loot doesn't reappear. --*=*=*-- Megadon CCP wanted a well known artist and celebrity to test the new font so it's approval would be well known. They got Ray |

And how exactly does that effect you? And an "exploit" is a matter of opinion. Someone in PvP could say my using a shield booster so I don't die is an exploit. I've seen pirates say stabs are exploits.

Yes and the pirates are just whining. Warp core stabs work exactly how they where intended.
Missions where not intended to be farmed.

Yeah, and concord were not intended to let people kill others in highsec without wardec.
Farming missions is NOT an exploit. I petitioned it to be sure before I did it the first time, and the GMs response was pretty clear. --------- ZOMG my sig was concordokkened! Link removed due to bad language on remote site. -wystler

The tricky thing here is, this applies to a lot of things.
I've petitioned to have mission farming looked at since it's pretty cheesy and exploits some current game mechanics - thankfully they're at least starting to address it.
I've also petitioned to have chaining beltrats looked at since it's also exploiting existing game mechanics - unfortunately, they haven't looked to address it. For whatever reason.
Anytime I (or someone else) brings up beltrat chaining, people start to get quiet for some reason. |

Yes they are. Concord didn't exhist in the beginning, nor did sentry guns.
Concord are theyre to provide an amount of protection, NOT to make you invulnerable. If CCP wanted that you wouldn't be able to activate weapons on a non war target. You can And as long as you accept your ship will die there is NO exploit.

That's a pretty ridiculous statement.
Maybe eve should shut of the intake of new players, new accounts.... Maybe ccp should address the issue or 0.0 sweatshops ravens, sweatshop complex farmers and macro miners before the take the fun and lifeblood away from mission runners.
Stop picking on missions runners - If I loose that aspect of the game, it's dead to me and half the eve community.
