You clearly don't know anything about this game. If you can't do more than 2-3 missions per hour I dunno what's wrong with your brain but you probably should get checked for some sort of mental degeneracy.
I almost feel bad for you, so I'll help you out trying to understand how you should not suck. So a long time ago, when I first started playing, the first thing I did was train for an abaddon, and my goal was to be able to get a plex in a month (at the time they were 300 mil), and never pay real money for this thing. I ended up paying for my sub twice, and by month 4, I had a ****** abaddon fit. I used this abaddon fit to blitz missions for Carthum Conglomerate.
Why Carthurm Conglomerate? Well, the main reason was/is that you can buy 5 run imperial navy enam blueprints from the LP store, and at the time you could make roughtly 2.5k isk/LP off of that item if you sold them, which is pretty good for a highsec LP store. Now, even though I was a new player, I am not dumb so I understood that the value in missions lay not in the loot, salvage, or bounties, but instead in the LP reward. As I recall, the LP reward was between 5-10k for the missions I was doing. I would turn down bad missions, and at the time I would manage to do about 5-6 missions per hour in a ****** meta fit abaddon with huge cap problems.
This made me relatively good money for being ~4 months old, to the turn of about 40-50k LP per hour. Just converting this alone into navy enams made me about 100 mil per hour, and of course you had mission isk rewards adding on top and the occasional lucrative storyline mission.
So I'm not inclined to believe what you say at all with regard to highsec missions. I will grant that this was a long time ago, but nothing has changed in missions significantly outside of drone aggro, which doesn't matter for an abaddon. I was using a ****** ship, with a ****** fit, and ****** skills, but the reason it worked was because I knew the money was in blitzing the missions, and for many missions, this simply involved killing only a couple things, and not clearing the mission.
400mil per day is easy in highsec L4's. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean it's not doable or stable. In fact it's probably one of the most stable sources of income there is. Maybe you won't get as great LP conversion rates as I did, but I was also using a ****** ship. With a proper blitz fit tengu/ishtar/mach what have you, I'm quite certain rates upwards of 100 mil/hour are easily attainable.
Plex prices will never be 12bil either, since nobody is going to spend a whole month slaving in the game to buy a plex. But certainly 1-2 days is not that much right now, especially considering this could be dispersed over an entire month in chunks of 1-2 missions per day. I suppose part of the reason plex prices are low is because people like you are too dumb to figure out how to make isk from the easiest endeavors in eve. |
