nanoribbons are climbing in value. QED, wormhole space is losing population.
Frigate holes, when was the last time you went through one or interacted with one? That's right - the day of the patch, or at latest, the day before they changed the k162 description to read "small ships only". I found 6 in 3 wormholes last night and used none of them.
I think what players can do is stop being lazy mealy-mouthed cowards and join smaller corporations. One problem linked to the atrocious state of POS security is the paranoia which people exercise in recruitment, and also exercise in their efforts to be recruited. people will not recruit toons with colourful or somewhat lengthy employment records, and the corollary of that is that people are afraid to join smaller corps and give it a try, because they think they are putting dirty great fingerprints of unreliability all over their rap sheet. So they hold out to join a big corp.
objectively, this may seem like a good move. You get reflected prestige, glory, and get content creators and buds to fly with. But realistically, you have just as much chance of fitting in, finding a niche, making spacebuds you will fly with for 6-12+ months at a time, and having fun.
But speaking as a content creator, the glory you get to bask in which i shed is just as valuable and far more hilarious than you'll get by being Random Member 421 in SSC, or Random member 322 in hard knocks. Being Valued member 32 in BUGRY or any other decent, small, PVP corp in w-space is that you get to participate in just as much PVP, more often, via more and more nefarious means. I mean...people will still attack my bait haulers. They wouldn't even bother if they saw the SSC, LZHX or HK tags.
So there is as much an onus on the recruit as the recruiter to make a good decision. New bros can and should join smaller corps, even if it is to do mining or gassing or PI. Speaking for myself only, i will willingly let you welp a Slasher day and night just because it distracts a guy for 10 seconds from DPSing my boat. That might not sound like glory, but if you prostitute yourself onto a T3 killmail and lose a 5m ISK frig in the process, your killboard will look red hot after the twentieth one.
That said, since CCP is about gifting limitless free ISK in Incursions, they really DO need to address wormhole ISK especially in low-class wormholes where you can't magically escalate more money out of nothing. C4 mags and radars (relics, data w/e) have Incursion level DPS from the 4 Safeguards and you make 125-ish million from a site which doesn't respawn infinitely.
In fact, wormhole space is the only space where the only limitless ISK is the PI, and that's not spectacular.
People are just being rational about it, and funding hours of wormhole boredom by putting up with incursion neckbeards.
J's before K's.
