It is not about efficiency , but about how this efficiency killing casual players.
As for smartbombing , you don't need -0.9 system , you can do it also on forsaken hubs.
You don't include in your payout faction rats and escalations.

Someone doesn't know that LP and isk mission rewards are scaled against decline rate/time to complete.

If burners continue to pay thus, it is proof that your fears are unfounded - because when people do farm them as you describe, the LP payouts drop.

This is why the mission to get the quafe and recon missions pay so much less than the **** extravaganza ones, or other PITA missions like buzzkill.

HTH

You don't need to include them in your calculations, as the chance for these increases linearly with the number of accounts you employ. In other words, an equivalent number of drone boats will net you the same amount of faction spawns and escalations. Additionally, running forsaken hubs is downright slower than using drone boats. If you think nullsec income is too high (lol) feel free to advocate nerfing it, but you'll never stop multiboxing 'farming' under anything remotely resembling the current mechanics (nor do we have an actual reason to do so, this game is a sandbox in spirit). We have no conclusive evidence that this so-called efficiency is 'killing' casual players.

LP payouts are not dropping if you asking about this.

Then either you're wrong in your assertions, CCP is lying, or there is a bug.

PIck one and only one.

The loyalty point reward is dynamic. Go search.

If they are stable at the levels they are it is because MOST people DONT run them and when they do they are slow and tough.

LP payout levels are are stable.
Fluctuation is around 250lp so almost none.

Yes the problem is probably traveling time , and time needed to run other missions.
20k+ LP for a 2min mission ( when you split travel time between other burner missions) just kills the LP value.

Running normal LVL 4 mission non blitzable takes around 15minutes. ( 2 battleships )
This give you 6-15k LP

Running burner mission takes ~2minutes (~5 T2/cheap faction frigates)
and it gives you 20-25k LP

1/4 - 1/3 of missions that are offered by agents are the burner missions.

None of these activities makes as much ISK per hour as station trading at Jita. Station trading has no risk of losing a ship, and almost no risk of losing ISK.

In my opinion, any in-space activity, no matter how low the risk, is acceptable as long as it makes less ISK per hour than station trading.

Station trading "makes" zero isk. And there would be Zero isk in the game were it not for people being out in space ships doing things that actually "make" isk. Station trading has nothing to do with a discussion about Combat PVE rewards balance.
