NERF Incursions reward in Hi-sec

You can stay in highsec and bear it up 'till your heart's content, for all I care. But highsec incursions are wrecking the economy. That's why the need nerfing - it's got nothing to do with encouraging people into nullsec (though that would be nice too).

I personally disagree. I feel lvl 4 missions pay out more than they should in comparison to what null sec does for it's anomalies.

I look at it from a grunt's perspective in null sec who plays to defend their empire. Those people should have advantages over people in high security space as they're taking more risks and generally spend more isk on a daily basis paying for ships to build their space castles. In my opinion, in order to help retention in EVE, the grunts in null need something that benefits them and not just having the resources such as moons which generally assist in paying sov bills. The bottom line is that in null sec, as an alliance, you can be successful. The amount of effort, time and risk put into that far out weighs what it's worth considering you can hang up your hat and go chill in empire and run incursions.

Basically, if I decided to drop all sov and run my alliance off incursion taxes and low sec moons, I could in essence be a much more wealthy alliance with less overhead. This is where I feel the imbalance is.

Yes, and if they are then that *doesn't make sense* from a game design perspective. If these people have all this space they're quite literally paying for, why are they drawn back to highsec? The risk/reward balance must be off somewhere.

I think you need to consult your economics textbook. Printing money to keep pace with inflation only makes inflation worse. It does nothing to deal with the underlying causes. Look at Germany in the 1930s, or the UK in the 1970s.

EVE's inflation is driven by an excess in money supply. The only way to stop it is to take more money permanently out of the economy, through ISK-sinks. It will hurt players in the short-term, but it will allow prices to stabilise, which is in everyone's interest in the long-term.

I stand corrected... You lower interest rates. welp.

the problem is, null bears are in empire grinding incursions instead of being in null sec losing ships.

Yes you can, more depending on how non-******** your fleet is.

In fact a CERTAIN PERSON I know who lost a CERTAIN STRATEGIC CRUISER because he is a BAD PILOT WHO DOES STUPID THINGS FOR NO REASON AND FLYS BADLY AND I HATE HIM replaced his multi-billion isk loss completely via incursions in about a day.

The main issue is that due to easily researched incursion mechanics. It has become almost risk free to bring in ships worth multi billions that can do insane DPS.

And the growth of such ships is such that if you try to form up with other types of ships such as a raven. You will not get invites.

The "nerf" needs to be in a major adjustment in the risk factor. There needs to be times where losing a ship or two and having to abort is just bad luck running into a harder than expected site. That will get people to slow using Hyper DPS craft to complete these sites so fast.
