C4 sites are lame, I have no idea what C4 you live in and why you think they are fine (would be useful to explain that part).

Based on my experience (c4 no effect), a lot of the feedback posted here on C4 PVE is fairly accurate:

- C4 sites are not easy to solo, and IMO nor should they be. At the same time they should reward group work and not penalise it, as it stands C4 sites encourages small corp / solo farming which promotes lock-in mentality to maximise iskies
- Spawn ranges are too far, increasing time waiting for things to get in range
- Data and Relic sites rarely drop anything useful, only reason to hack em is for the "escalation" wave which seems to only happen very rarely
- Gas / Mining barely worth it unless you plan on building in hole
- Site respawn rate is a bit meh

What i generally see is people going to their static for sites, and those tend to be solo / multiboxers.

Dscan is fine, if you are worried about cloakies you need more/better scouts.

The comparison with mission runners is flawed. WH Data / relic / gas sites need to be scanned which offer you a bit more time whilst bearing it up, just like mission runners. Regular WH anomalies do not need to be scanned just like K-space anomalies.

Then you add the two miningalts so you have to split 4ways. Then another 10% for your CEO-¦s golden POD and monocle fund.
It get-¦s even worse if you have to pay the POSfuel. That-¦s another 500M taken away from that one site you run, so it is like you are loosing 400M. So horrible for running some of the hardest content alone in a T1 ship.

I probably shouldn't admit this but I'm more afraid of getting ganked in highsec than in a C4. I can't recall a single time I've been dunked on while running sites. Lots of times when rolling, subsequent shens, & fuel/loot runs. Esp the loot run part.

There have been three times in the past 5 years people have jumped in to a wormhole while I was doing sleeper sites. I mean, honestly doing sleeper sites and not actually trying to bait while pretending to do sleeper sites. Three times where there was a brown pants event, and one of those times resulted in me losing a Drake, and 5 of my buds also losing their Drakes and pods For the return price of blapping two Arazus, a fair trade.

The other two times both resulted in me blazing down the foe and Zoidberging out of there. The last one I was in a C3 WR in a shield-tanked Nightmare and we clobbered a Legion, Eos and Keres, and drove off their mates in a VNI and Ishtar. having an alt on the hole didn't prevent the gank, it gave me 5 seconds to shart my lacy panties and reload to Scorch.

I don't think that this is pay-to-win. it's win by method and experience, and having a wee bit of luck.

Your whole Q.Q is based on some idea that you, personally, need 3 accounts to safely churn C4 sites. maybe you do, if you are neckbearding solo Marauders and haven't read the OTHER dev blog.

Secondly, the whole spiel of wormholes is that it is a team-based activity. PVE requires teamwork. So make a ffriend, instead of Q.Qing on the forums about how the game is apparently now "pay to win"because it gets restructured to make it difficult (not impossible) and risky (if you suck at EVE) to solo C4s.

Cry me a river. People like you are what this patch is about.

Just to put this sort of pants-wetting idiocy to bed, I shall use bold font.

If you do not jump through your statics, the other side doesn't spawn. So just roll your damn statics you numpty and don't jump through. Now you don't even NEED one alt to watch the static. You need zero!

Yeah, the inbound won't spawn till the involuntary sexual attack squad is properly formed up and ready to jump through. So that's more risky for you neckbearding carebears. But the inbound sigs never reliably spawned instantly anyway, so you aren't at any greater risk, really.

So. To the guy who got offended I called you all neckbeards, there you go. Yet another crybaby whiner identified on the forums complaining his bear den will have ants in it. You are all the same. Get out of the way, the real men want to move in to C4s to make happy times with the boat violencing.
