I agree.
Though the odd thing is, in a SOE hub I'm actually far more likely to be killed than rolling anoms in null. |

I would like to see a scaling implementation of mission payouts both in terms of LP and straight ISK rewards for mission completions. I don't know if this is needed for all mission types but certainly the highsec L4 payouts need a scalable change.
Yes I'm aware of the reason for the L4 loot price drop, yes I'm aware that highsec is safer than other regions but killing off about 20-30% of our income is too much of a hit. Your idea would be perfect for Level 4's in low and null, but not your highsec carebear campaign |

in general any comment about a buff to PVE content in the game invokes a lot of people climbing up the walls because they want to see high sec as crap as possible with all the main focus being given towards null. Yes it is nice for those who are already out in null space and the puppets that they allow to stay there with standings or those that rent from them as it gives them access to that while paying a fraction of their earnings towards the rent. (smirks)
PVE in general does need a overhaul, I honestly hope it does not involve the same as it did in the past when they nerfed bounties across the board. All I can say is that when ccp starts working on it I hope they look at the whole picture and not just the areas with the most activity.
S'Way wrote:The argument of "there's too much isk generation in the game already" may be true, but that's due to other areas being far too profitable - (yes I mean things like high sec incursions). To those saying just run incursions then - a lot of fleets only want high skilled characters with decent ships, the people who the indirect L4 nerfs have hit most (players who are just into their first battleship and trying to get some isk generated for other things) won't easily be able to do those given the limited number of fleets and requirements they have.
s'way, sorry to say but from my experience of running incursions they don't care about skills as long as they can run with the pre-determined fitted ships they have listed and I have personally watched people with crap skills go from barely using t1 guns to using t2 guns thanks to the skill change ccp done making access to them a lot easier and in line with the T2 missile launcher skills. |

Do you know where the ISK was transferred to effectively?
Im guessing you do not so i shall enlighten you, it went to miners. I have no beef with miners my alt mines all day, but if it bothers you that L4 missions are too easy for the return they get then im guessing you wouldnt be thrilled to find out where the ISK went.

I checked the amount of ISK generated for me personally the way i run missions, what method did you use to arrive at your conclusion?

Blitzing was the most profitable way of running missions, it in fact has become even more profitable because looting has dropped in value by so much.
I would like to keep blitzing as the more profitable method as it takes a bit more knowledge and skill than running L4s the full clear method.
As things stand now though the gap between full clear and blitzing has grown considerably so that we that choose the full clear method will tend towards blitzing more, I am certainly going to change over even though i prefer full clear as i find it more fun but i need the plex to pay for my account and the payout now for Blitzing over full clear is too great to pass on.

Ive read some posts and realized my original suggestion would in fact benefit blitzing too much so I'm altering my suggestion to include a triad of changes:
1. A one time increase to LP payouts (as someone else suggested the inclusion of [more?] LP items only offered by mission agents)
2. Mission payouts indexed to the value of plex (this needs to be done so that skills related to payouts retrain their value).
3. Mission rat payouts indexed to plex (there might need to be some rat payout redistribution as it currently favors killing only BS's too heavily).
This is NOT a mission income buff and I take exception to those respondents characterizing it as such. It is simply a request to compensate L4 runners for income that was effectively transferred from L4 runners to miners.
I will restate here that I have a miner and he mines all day, I hold no ill will towards miners and I'm thrilled to get an income buff to my miner but not at the expense of L4 runners. Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really. |

I do believe I understand your point but the drop in my mission running income was about 20-30% or so. I would bring up two points:
1. CCP probably balanced mission running ships around the state of missions as they existed at the time (though i have no proof of this of course, meaning they were okay with whatever income boost these ships brought).
2. Even given that ships have been buffed I don't think it can be said that the buffs increased the effectiveness of running L4's by 20 - 30%. Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really. |

1a. The blitzers need compensated, not because I believe that blitzing should inherently pay more than non-blitzing but because it is the historical precedent and I don't desire to change that (the adjustment would have to be weighed surely to prevent too wide a gap forming again between the full clear and blitzing groups).
1b. The unique LP items are to reduce competition with players getting LP other ways which could water down the income of both groups (this might not need to be done).
2. Sadly, yes you are probably right they wont do it.
3. I don't understand what you mean when you say: "they need to adapt". Adapt how and to what?

Hard to say without data, I can only go on what I've heard people say. When I first started playing about 2 years ago, I remember reading that blitzers were making 40m/hr in their Machariels and that was pretty impressive at the time. A year later, they were saying it was 70m/hr. I have no idea what they can make now. Oh god. |

No, and why is it your income? For years missions have been taking value from other activities, and continue to do so.
If missions are not paying you enough, go do something else.

1. because i worked for that income, just like everyone else works for theirs doing whatever they do in EVE.
2. In the past this argument could be said to be true, as it stands i see no justification behind the statement.
3. I prefer to do the activities im involved with now, I just want paid as i have been the last 1.5 years i have played.

this basically. Last point....even years ago there was an old saying: if looking to be rich off level 4 running you were doing it wrong. That was with better loot/salvage. For example what I did was turn level 4 money into starter funds for other projects. Market games like speculation or when I could be assed long ago watch market shifts like a hawk and pick sell orders not adjusted for market changes (or market variance). Basic example would be I see a buy order in BFE new eden for price greater than sell order in jita. I'd buy out of jita, drop that off in BFE and make my isk and then some. |

EVE doesnt have a 'cost of living', so that doesnt really apply.
If you want competitive pay, you take on competitive amounts of risk, or put in competitive amounts of effort. Thats how eve's supposed to work. Missions have been a bit of an outlier in that respect for a long while.

Its not a solution cause there's not really a problem. Its just an option if you want to keep earning as much as you have been. Or you can accept your lower earnings and understand that the rest of EVE as a whole is better off for it.
Even after the nerf, level 4's still pay very well when you consider the lack of risk and effort required to run them. They could even be nerfed further.

I haven't run lvl4s in a while and the last time I did it was to improve my standings. I agree that the payout is really horrible and LP is the only saving grace. Increasing LP payout doesn't help either because too much LP with mess up the sell price of many LP store items. Ask the FW guys with tier 3 or 4. The only alternative is to run incursions which makes sense since there is much greater risk and team effort is required. |

Same thing here.. saying move to null to solve inflation is very short sighted.. No, it's actually called supply & demand. Inflation is currently non existent in EVE, actually deflation earlier this year. Plex prices rising independent of everything else has nothing to do with inflation, mainly has to do with rampant speculation since we know that plex change hands 2 or 3 times before they actually get to someone who uses them thanks to CCP releasing that information. So speculators are driving the pricing on the PLEX market by creating artificial & fake demand. Also major mineral requirement changes and mining barge changes changed the mineral market pricing cost of building a drake, as will the latest industrial changes. |

I support this. Mission runners and LOOT and by that I mean ONLY loot are exposed to ninja salvagers so there is a present risk/threat, I suggest you work on that mechanic since it creates content unlike incursions.
Open missions more for player interference and buff their loot payouts.
Problem is that with the introduction of noctis, salvaging drones and MTUs the looting became way easier so there should be some new loot like bpcs to make the payouts better.
Or better yet random faction rat spawns?

When did CCP say you needed to be able to PLEX an account from an arbitrary number of hours of running lvl 4 mission? The only time your boss really HAVE TO give you a raise is if the minimum legal salary goes higher than your current one. If you think EVE should follow stuff like that then you better be patient because there is a few things which are paid much less than lvl 4 so they would have top go first. |

Not CCP is the reason why the loot in Lv4-¦s aren-¦t worth as much as before. You are ! Everybody runs Lv4-¦s is one Part of this problem. So we could solve this Problem easy --> move the Lv 4-¦s into lowsec. Make the more difficult. But for god sake don-¦t buff the income thats pointless. Highsec should be with distance the worst part in the game to make money.
It-¦s to save and don-¦t say that ninja looters/ganking is a big problem. In lowsec you get shot in gate camps and the attacker loose nothing, in 0.0 the same but this time with your pod.
Please guy-¦s stop complaining change your playstile, Miner also don-¦t make as much ISK than in the "old days) so what. Be flexible try other parts. |
