For the most part I think there is a counter for people warping onto your missions. You have a boosted local. Furthermore, I think this patch has made missions much easier. People can now afford to design their setups more for PVP. Also, don't forget that missions rewards are affected by how often they are completed. If pirates do make missions harder to complete, we will be seeing higher mission rewards.

It's not like anyone can scan. You still have to train skills, and a scan probe launcher totally gimps your set up.

I do think you have a point when it comes to pirates looting items you need to complete the mission. I think something needs to be done to prevent that type of griefing.

I never said that there shouldn't PVE or that you should be forced to PVP. If you enjoy PVE'ing only then you should be able to do that. This new changes don't really force you to PVP either. If you really want to stay out of PVP, you can join a newb corp and stay in high sec. Yeah I know the disadvantages of doing that, but let's face it... this is an MMO. I believe MMO's should be catered for groups rather than solo players, because they are made for MULTIPLE players after all. That's what WoW did; you can't do any of it's end-game content without a guild, and look how successful it is. I mean if you want to play an MMO by yourself (I'm not saying you are Dreamdancer), then you should be able to and of course any company with half a brain will allow for solo play. But I get the feeling that some people here expect that they can play by themselves, completely invulnerable, and be able to enjoy the same rewards, and that's just rediculous. That's when I say why are you playing EVE instead of a single player game?
