My goodness how hostile is this thread. I think we need to check ouselves before we wreck ouselves.
Now let me caveat what I am about to say by saying that yes I am a mission runner, but I am also a miner, manufacturer, ratter and oft pwnd biatch pvper.
I think the eve community needs to remember that what makes the game so great is that there is so much variety in what can be done. Why biatch about people being upset that their niche has just been nerfed in some way.
I also think that any "pirate" that knowingly targets mission runners are nothing more than cowards that know they cant cut it against other players kitted out for pvp. If ever anyone deserved to be disrespected it is this crew. However, having said that if you enter sub .5 you are in their domain and if you don't take the appropriate precautions you only have yourself to blame.
As for the notion of risk vs reward that is meant to underpin the game of eve, I say bah humbug, the only place that this seems to apply is for low sec miners. I have been running missions in 0.0, yes agents do live there check yourself and the agent finder before you debate me on this, and the loot drops are crap as are the loot drops for ratting. I have not seen decent loot in I can't remeber how long. So I have not seen nowhere near enough increase in reward to justify the risking of my main mission running ship.
Also, it has been stated that mission runners add nothing to the game, to this I can only say bolllocks, mission runners are responsible for > than 80% of isk in the economy dont knock us just because we like to run missions. And dont assume that this is all we do because that also is far from the truth.
As for the sec status, I can only say meh I dont care either way I will get my status gain from the rats I decimate. A thought might be though, if ccp are going to nerf sec status gain for mission runners, perhaps they should also provide a sec status gain for pvpers where a gain is made when you kill an opponent with a sec status less than -2 or something.
Anyways dudes, lets chill out, let the love flow and enjoy what is a great game.
