I make bad posts that no one reads. The isk income in null sec right now is too high, especially for the lol risk that is involved when you don't see hostile for weeks on end. Unfortunately, you seem to think that moon goo is "risk." Don't worry, CCP isn't going to change moon goo and sanctum farmers, way too risky right now. That doesn't mean the situation is right. It just means that CCP screwed up so bad for so long that angering nullbears now would be bad business.
^There, I fixed that for you. |

You are saying that in order to limit the isk flow, we have the ability to kill the mom. Ok. I now accept that incursions are balanced and they should stay as they are.
In that case, I propose sanctums should get an isk/hr boost that would equate to about 500 mil/hr. If you don't like it, you can just kill the ratters, thus limiting the isk flow the same way you have told the rest of us we can limit incursion isk flow.
Thats balanced right? Not really, no. The difference is actually quite massive, and a tad ironic when you think about it: The very same highsec mechanics that stop most people from losing their incursion ships stops the highsec carebears from interfering should someone start shooting down the mom sites. There's literally nothing stopping you should you get a fleet up capable of running down the mom sites, and indeed this has happened before when the armor and shield fleets got into arguments over who could shoot what.
As it stands, you have a massive group of players working together in order to grind as much isk out of incursions as possible, and this really isn't that different from space holding alliances using their intel channels to keep their ratters safe. Yes the rewards are high for something that happens in highsec, but then you're ignoring the other contributing factor: teamwork. A group of players working together SHOULD make more than someone grinding isk alone (by how much, and how it should compare to low/null solo PVE is debatable mind you). These highsec incursion fleets tend to be made up of 10-12 people, fielding a total of 10 to 15 billion isk worth of ships, and you're going to complain because they make similar money to what someone in a t1 BS can pull on their own out in nullsec?
If you want to be anal about comparing the income of high and null sec, you have to even the playing field a bit I think. An incursion blitzing fleet in null can pull in 300mil/hour/person + LP if the fleet's set up properly, and it can be done in cheaper ships to boot.

Back when I lived in null and sustained myself with belt ratting (this was before sanctums were the main isk making thing) the only time I lost ships was when moving around. It's so pitifully easy to keep a ratting ship safe you have no one to blame but yourself if you lose one. |

You don't need to kill ratters to stop them making isk, just scare them.

I'd say that's just as much effort as it'd take to go out and kill a mom ship to end the farming.
So yeah, nerf incursions or boost sanctums. |

To be serious the OP is thread, The players themselves can affect the incursion rate but choose not to do so because it isn't nearly as big of an issue as many posters here make it out to be.
Incursions are about the most balanced thing in EVE right now.

To be honest, all i see here is a bitter person jelous of others that have finally found the possibility of making a viable income in hisec. Since as stated you have the option to disrupt that income, i really don't see any point for that childish whining about nerfing incursions! I rather suspect that the OP is running nullsec bots 23/7 and is utterly jelous that others have found a way to earn similar ammounts of isk. So what's the problem, you want to be the only one making isk and let ccp nerf everyone elses isk-making so you feel king of the hill again? As sad as this sounds, i strongly suspect this is EXACTLY how you sad little whiner feel deep inside. |

I agree that group play should be rewarded. The simple fact is, the amount of reward they offer in high sec is stupidly high (the potential).
Tell me again why it would be so horrible if incursion farmers had to go to low sec to do their thing? |

Tell me again why it would be so horrible if incursion farmers had to go to low sec to do their thing? Because they wouldn't go to lowsec, they'd just stop playing. As it stands, there's only one form of group oriented PVE in highsec, so at this point moving it to low/null would make it useless, as the main thing separating it from the rest of the game is that it IS in highsec.
As far as the potential goes, you're looking at maybe 120 an hour doing sites in highsec. Go to lowsec, and the higher payouts combined with far less competition means it should be viable to get 300 with a zealot/legion fleet. That's a pretty damn big difference.
What's really absurd about all this is that you're looking at what people at the very top are making, and using that as an argument against the rest of the guys running sites. 12 billion isk, 11 people working together (and NOT wandering off/going for bio breaks etc) combined with an agreement reached by literally thousands of players looking to work together to get the most out of sites is what you need to make good money in incursions. And even with all that, most people struggle to make 50mil an hour.
When there are people who can pull in 100 an hour doing missions, are you really going to whine that something that entails such a massive amount of people working together pays more at the high end? Nullsec still earns you more, if it's well secured and in decent space (CCP really needs to undo that nullsec nerf, that was probably the most stupid thing they've done in this game, including WiS).
And that's not even counting moon goo. |

Everything aside, I would love to know what bears think moon goo isk is used for.
Moon goo is in the game to 1. generate fights and 2. pay for alliance level stuff (sov, reimbursements, capitals, etc). It is not a personal isk revenue (unless you're in PL). This is a good thing. As jealous as high sec players seem to be of the "passive isk" that is moon goo, its not the personal isk generator as they seem to think, and this is a good thing.
Now, I agree with you that group pve should be encouraged and I want to see more of it in high sec as well. However, incursions, IMO were implemented horribly. The raw isk generation they are capable of for little to no risk (seriously that pve risk thing is a joke and anyone who argues it should feel bad for even suggesting it is) is silly.
Don't worry though, as I've said before, your safe isk farm isn't going to be touched. CCP wouldn't dare threaten their bottom line like that right now.

Moon goo is a good thing because that particular passive isk faucet is used by wise and noble people for wise and noble purposes, but incursion isk faucet is a bad things because .... ummm .... because??? Dang, I forgot that again.
Incursions are working as CCP intended, and they're working very well. Thousands of people are engaging with incursions, in a wide variety of ways.

It's a massive source of income that is available only in nullsec (and a mechanic in dire need of review).
The only problem with incursions is that the lower and sites make more isk/hour than the higher end sites (and worst of all this is because there is one assault and one HQ site that takes so damn long it makes them not worth running) The income is higher than solo highsec pve, lower than solo nullsec pve, and that is exactly where it should be.
As for risk: It is there, and it always has been. From suicide ganks, to logis getting their fleets killed, to agression mechanic exploits, not including DCs/pilot error (which actually becomes much more notable in the higher end sites, though it is not much in vanguards) |

Like in all the nerf the incursion threads I've read this threat has a lot of exaggeration, especially when people start comparing different scources of income to each other. This only leads to unbelievable cases and escalating arguments...
What CCP has been trying to do for years is get more people to move in to low sec /null space. The main way of doing this is making it more profitable. Incursions were intended as a stepping stone towards this by getting people together in a fleet that more resembles the real fleets that are out there in non high sec space.
The fact that people are actually returning to high sec because incursions pay so wel for so little risk, to me is proof enough that it's not balanced.
One has only to look at the incursions itself to see where the problem lies. Vanguard sites are swamped with players while doing any assault or HQ sites you have little competition. To me all this makes it obvious that vangaurds should be reviewed and (slightly) nerfed in some way |

I don't think this is the first time you've made this claim, and it's not more right this time. 120 m/hr in highsec is a decent Legion fleet only running NCOs. It assumes 5 minute per site including the warp, it means you never lose when you contest. If you're making that much ISK in highsec then competition isn't a factor, because it's a number that assumes the competition are irrelevant.
In lowsec you get 15m per site, so 12 NCOs per hour (same as highsec) would be 180 m/hr, not 300. If you only get NCOs that 180 m/hr is easy to reach, but because there are no fleets clearing out the NMCs and OTAs you will get a ton of those which will reduce your ISK/hr by quite a bit. With lucky spawns you're gonna get 150 m/hr, on average it's less than that. Furthermore the mothership is not usually killed. It is sometimes, but you can't count on getting your LP from a lowsec Incursion.
Now, I still think it's fine because in practice very few fleets get 120 m/hr in highsec so my average of maybe 140 m/hr (I'll have to check) is actually alright with me. |

I know this is a troll but, I think it's a fascinating question.
Why? Because the current profitability of Incursions takes away from the import of nullsec. And as we all know there is always one kid in the group with the best toy who doesn't want to share. If someone else brings a cool toy and shares it, the other guy usually ends up trying to break it.
And thus is why Incursions should be nerfs or so everyone in null thinks. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

We're talking about top of the pack fleets here. 3 minutes from payout to payout is certainly doable. (back when I was soloing the sites with my vindi I could clear an NCO in 6 from payout to payout) I use that 3 minute mark to calculate the lowsec sites (keeping in mind that you have no competition and no one else running the other NCOs that you're not) at 15 mil a site, 3 minutes per site, 20 sites an hour, 300mil. Without competition what is only possible in theory in HS is actually viable in lowsec. In theory, you could make 210 mil in highsec, but you'll never actually see that number, simply because there is too much competition driving the number of available NCOs down, not even factoring in competition for sites you're currently running.
When I run my comparisons I tend to use numbers that assume you're at the absolute peak of what can be done in terms of skills/setups, and I assume you're at the very top of the pack when it comes to knowing how to actually do things. This is mostly because the only way to objectively compare things, as far as game balance is concerned, is to remove the player variable entirely by making the player on either side of the comparison evenly skilled, and the only way to ensure that is to assume that both sides play flawlessly (since there isn't really a way to numerically asses how skilled a player is IRL)
Not having to compete, and not having other people draining off the NCOs plays just as big a role in potential earnings as the extra payouts from the sites. |
