You know I have done it both ways, picking up every P.O.S. item dropped, (often having to go back turn in the mission then go back out to the bookmarks to try and pickup the cans, and I've also just done the mission, be that kill everything in site, or just warp in blow the deathstar and got outta dodge. and every time, Do it, turn the mission in Wins, Having tested this multiple times, 1 day loot / 1 day finish, 1 week loot / 1 week finish, and lastly, 1 month loot & salvage / 1 month finish, and EVERY single time do the job and turn it in won, yea like twice I got a Local Expanded Cargohold that isnt worth much anymore, the real money made on missions WAS turning in the 15k Lps for a Plus 3 implant for 30mill, but the market is flooded with so many implants we pretty much nerf'ed ourselfs. not to mention, there are too few agents of the same level / qual level that we get the mini-jita's of 100 to 200 plus doing missions at the same time in the same system, I no longer have the time to play 23/7 like i used to, so when i log in, no one's on, i run a mission, turn it in, i dont want to waste my lil bit of game time, flying 100km to get that uber battleship that tanked me for 5 minutes wreck that is going to give me 1 Miner I, 100 rounds of ammo, (cruise/torp/hybrid) and 10 Cap Booster 400's. YES there is that snowball's chance in hell that something might be in a can worth 10 or 20 mill, but the number of missions i can do, not wasting my time, more than makes up for it.
I've been playing since 2004, Number of BPC's found 0, T2 Lottery 0, Best Item found in a can? Local Expanded Cargo Hold.
Mission's are my main income, since I cant work at eve 40+ hours a week anymore, and I already know if i want to pickup a can that doesnt have a fracking Miner I, KILL PLAYERS, (which is fun when you do it on your own terms, not being forced) I've lived life in 0.0 too many headaches and i dont play well with others, I've lived Flashing Red (fun but a logistic nightmare)
But CCP has got to LEARN, Mission runners, that do not want the risk, will simply drop the next best agent in empire and lagout that system, point blank.
Mission runners often don't give a frack what rules an alliance made up, and who's kissing who's arse so you fly thru some chokepoint.
For a Mission Runner it all comes down to CAN I KILL IT?, or WILL IT KILL ME, if it will kill me, how can I kill it before it kills me, and then how can i do it faster to make more profit.
And while we are at it, look at the lp offers, Faction Frig is worth maybe 20 mill, Faction Cruiser 75 - 125 if your lucky, Faction Battleship 500mill to 2 bill,
BS right on the money in my book, but 250k lp for a cruiser worth 100mill???? or 2 plus 4 Charisma Implants worth a whopping 30 mill total, yeah right, only choice worth spending lp on is the battleships anymore.
and thats all you never wanted to hear from me 
Stay Chilly & Watch Your Six!
