Enough is enough! There is currently little to no risk involved for the vast majority of isk making in EVE! From Moon mining to planetary interaction and even research there is hardly ANY risk involved. Please remove all passive isk from the game!

You forgot the worst form of passive income.
Skill training.
You can make 5 or 6 billion logging in for an hour total over six months. If you are going to rage, that's where you should be directing it.

I'd rather see all active forms of ISK making removed so people can spend more time gleefully clubbing each other. Primary income streams via looting players/ransoming, and a bit more competition in the 'passive' markets.

While i disagree with pi needing to be changed on the eve side (it need to be linked more to dust/legion damn it) Moon mining should become active.
The ore should be found in comets (see what i did there?) new astroid belts, or just in places that can be mined by players.

Um thats bearly above 1 plex per month... that figure in the 2 plex transfer fee? I guess. But still

Badger.
Also I think I get 250-300m/month from PI in HS, depends how the market is that month. On 2 Chars thats 75% of a plex for doing pretty much nothing.
And it is very much risk free. In all regions of space. Transport ships don't tank any better in HS than they do in NS. If someone wants you dead. You dead.

I am just finishing up Economics 202 macroecon class. With plex like 8-850 and 5/6bill per momth over 6months.
MINUS INFLATION MINUS OPPORTUNITY COST of gettin the isk at the end, not begining so you can invest/gain on it
That almost comes to a net loss once you make adjustments dude.

It costs 5 PLEX for six months and that includes the transfer.
Learn to make a proper character and you get up to 12 PLEX at the sale. That's 7 PLEX or 5.6b profit for an hours work.
Show me anything else in the game where you make 5b an hour.

I think Miss Moss failed the grade 2 english class before starting an Economics 202 macroecon class. The term "make 5 or 6 billion" clearly has to be interpreted to mean profit not turnover. If the latter would be the case, her remarks would be correct, albeit less than courteous. |

As others have stated, you have to be smart about this. You CANNOT sell a toon at cost which is what Eve appraiser is. it gives you a cost number for the most part.
The tricky part is projecting where you think the demand for a specific skilled character will be in 6 months. then if you are wrong, you taker a hit.
Ive sold about 7 toons, made a minimum of 10% and a max of 60% profit. From a rorq pilot to a specific HAC Minny combt pilot etc.
Its not a no risk gambit. Lots of risk there. |

There should be no isk making. Missions give just reward points that you can turn in for ships. When you get blown up, the enemy fleet or solo player gets a percentage of your ship value based on current avg new eden prices highsec regions. Make bounties actually mean something. When a certain faction doesnt like you, they put a bounty on you in the form of a ship or fleet of ships reward. Eliminate wealth entirely. Just have ships as currency lol. |

In these games, in the absence of a viable in-game currency the players will just create one. Any item that is small enough to lug around in quantity and kind-of-but-not-really rare will work. SOJs in the Diablo 2 being the most of-cited example.

While the OP may be going a bit far, the jist of the issue is that there are a lot of activities in EVE that don't require you to log in for long stretches of time, relatively to what you're getting out of it. PI and moon mining are the most prominent examples.
It's not about defending the latter either, but about how little interactivity such a system actually needs to work, and still be profitable. I would argue that the amount of passive activities in EVE is a direct cause of the stagnation of the amount of people online (of of, you know what i mean), and that has to be looked at.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

They both have interaction.
Moon mining is about securing space.. and as baltec1 has said, good luck establishing your own. PI requires collection and hauling.. which has about as much "interaction" as mining.
I don't believe OP has a point. Let's ban people with PLEX Buddy links in their sigs or on Reddit sidebars because they are getting passive income too!

At most they have around 9 million SP and sell for anything from 3 - 6 Billion. When you take in the cost of the account (Power Of Two is often a good way to do it when it runs) and the $20/2 PLEX to transfer, the profit is relatively low on a 6-month old character.
As an alternative, you can buy already established characters and continue to train those. Then the profit at the end is reduced by the 6-month subscriptions cost, the initial purchase cost and transfer. It is possible to make good profit on established characters, but 1 billion profit per month still implies an increase in value of close to 2 billion per month, which is very rare.

Well for a new player, such as myself, I found learning about and skilling up for PI to be a lot of fun. Just placed colonies on 4 planets and that was fun figuring out how to make it work. After running a little over a day, I collected the transmitters and put them on the market this morning for $5 mil. I could have sold for $4 mil, but don't need it right now.
Anyhow, point is that it's fun and a good source of income for new players. I don't see why that would bother someone. |

Any source of truly passive income will either be (1) competed down in price until the effort in setting it up roughly equals the gains from doing it or (2) fought over until the cost of acquisition roughly equals the gains.
You observe case (1) with datacores. When they were new, you could make signifcantly more than 1 PLEX/month with a 3 datacore alt, especially since LP used to accrue while unsubbed . Now with datacores you can expect to make maybe 100mil/month with 3 accounts doing it, or the equivalent of a few hours of mission running. Nothing to write home about.
You observe case (2) with things like moon mining, where alliances fight over the best space and have to invest significant time and effort into moving all of their moon goo around and keeping poses fueled. Arguably POSes aren't even passive income because you have to fuel it and move goods to market, but I see your point.
I would not consider PI to be passive income. It is a huge clickfest and at the end you get a little bit of ISK. This sounds a lot like mining... |

Ambivalent to this. You gave a real legitimate response, which can only serve to help non-idiots understand economics, while at the same time, it was technically posted in a troll thread.

as for PI, yes, managing 5 planets between 2 lowsec systems to produce the materials for one final product being made on the sixth, in an untankable, non-combat industrial makes WAY too much money for the risk associated with it.
PI is profitable not because of time at the keyboard involved, its the logistics in maintaining everythign needed for it to work, whether thats POCO occupancy, or just learning to avoid the local pirates who would more than love to pop a bestower hauling 100mil of goods between planets for production |

And how much do you actually need to be online to keep it working? You make it seem like you have to defend a POS 24/7 and have a 100-man fleet online for it at all times, and you have to take care of the logistics every hour and work in shifts to keep it working.
Obviously that just isn't true. Defending a POS is pretty much unecessary unless it's close to the frontlines. Even if it does get attacked, you basically don't have to do anything for an entire day and it will still be safe. Logistics are a once-a-week thing for most POS. There is some setup required, yes, but after that's done you can basically forget about it outside of the weekly logistics run (especially in larger alliances with the current blue donut).
What i'm trying to say is that the system doesn't require enough active interaction (or rather, it doesn't reward it). Everything is laid out so you don't have to be online to make it work, you just have to poke it a little bit every once in a while to keep it going. A lot of systems in EVE work like that (sov, PI, industry, market, research, etc), and as a result people just aren't actually online playing the game but offline playing something else while waiting for processes to finish. I hope i don't have to explain how that is a bad thing, especially in the long term.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

I believe former residents of Fountain and Delve would disagree with your idea of "hardly ANY risk involved"
But by all means, please set up a moon mining POS in low sec / null sec ( just as soon as you kill the one that is there ofcourse )
But lets say you have an alliance that is actually in a large coalition and you are in top 1% in said alliance and allowed to put up R64 POS. You will then pay aprox 80% tax to alliance for use of said POS.
Bottom line, you have no idea how moon mining works in practice.
And if you thing its moon miners that are raising price of PLEX you have got it all wrong my space poor friend. |

They most certainly contribute to it. Moon mining on the alliance level facilitates SRP, SRP keeps more money in a pilots pocket they would otherwise need to replace ships, since Moon Mining is covering that through SRP, they have extra isk to go to PLEX.
In fact SRP programs likely have the largest impact on PLEX prices right now, and they are primarily funded through Moon Mining.
On the individual level passive income certainly allows one to buy PLEX easier. Couple PI alts can pull in about 75% of a PLEX, (maybe a bit less now since PLEX have gone up since I did my numbering with the free 2 Char Training CCP gave us). Individual moon mining (which is rare) can generate anywhere from 50%-100% of a PLEX (depending on material mined, and cost of pos upkeep). In either event both provide a portion of the cost of a PLEX for doing relatively nothing and maybe more importantly it allows a player to Mission AND Generate ISK from inactive sources at the same time. It makes PLEXing much easier.
Since we all know PLEX pricing is driven by supply and demand, More people with the ability to purchase PLEX with less time invested, means higher demand on the market. Supply has been more or less in steady decline since about 2012, while demand has actually accelerated (likely due to 2 char training, and more recently ship skins using PLEX > AUR).
So while moon mining and PI are not solely responsible for PLEX increasing 1:1, they certainly do impact the rise by a sizeable %. |

Moon goo is hardly risk free, and I'd hate to try and rely on PI to PLEX an account (or god forbid several). Those are the only two things I can really think of as passive income that are legal within game mechanics (not including bot mining or nasty things of that nature).

I know very well the logistics and defensive headaches of maintaining moon poses. It's hard work. But that's not the point. It's not about what's "fair." If the goal of fuzziesov is to end blue dohnut and give small guys a chance at sov, this has to be done.

While the OP may be going a bit far, the jist of the issue is that there are a lot of activities in EVE that don't require you to log in for long stretches of time, relatively to what you're getting out of it. PI and moon mining are the most prominent examples. It's not about defending the latter either, but about how little interactivity such a system actually needs to work, and still be profitable. I would argue that the amount of passive activities in EVE is a direct cause of the stagnation of the amount of people online (of of, you know what i mean), and that has to be looked at.
You are so hot! Marry me! We will have many baby capsuleers and one day they'll grow up to be leaders! If not, well....we'll use them for passive income! |

1. rants rarely attract many followers because who wants to be associated with the local nut case.
2. you do not define what you mean by passive. You assume everyone uses the same definition but i a can assure you from reading the forums this is not the case.
3. To be honest there is no passive income in the game if you were to use my definition: it would require no input from the player and as such everyone would do it and thus it would be a self-nullifying income stream since everyone did it.
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

I hope you say the same thing about mining, missioning, incursions and all the other common ISK generators discussed on a per hour basis. But I know you don't.
So if you can say you make 100m an hour running incursions, I can say I make 5b an hour training characters. Both of us are basing our estimates on the time spent actively doing it. Not averaging it over a day , or a month, or a year.
There are enough pedants posting in here without you becoming one.
