Sorry for my obviously noobish question......is the OP talking about the big plex's like the 10/10 ones that I here rumors about that pay millions in loot?
If they got nerfed how do the corps pay their system rent to their overseers??
Some systems used to have a complex, which is like a dungeon with a overseer in each stage of the complex. Usually overseers are NPC enemys you can kill, but sometimes it could be a NPC building or even a jetcan. All complex's have a "boss" which is usually the strongest NPC and the one that drops the best stuff most of the time.
However this dungeon was reset every downtime, meaning that your chance of doing one was limited by the timezone you play in. You did a run just after downtime and by the time it respawns, it is sclose to downtime again, so it was possible to "squat" the plex for your timezone. CCP fixed this so that it now falls under the exploration system, so this gives anyone the chance to search for one and do one, rather than the select few who would log in at downtime and instantly be inside this "dungeon".
10/10 complex's were good money makers, each run dropping around 500mil of NPC tradegoods called Overseer effets per run. Sometimes they also dropped billions in loot run. Sometimes they dropped nothing at all. Therefore people would camp them, and people having plex wars seconds after downtime was not uncommon. I think each 10/10 in the past allowed 2 and a half runs a day, but dont quote me on that.
Now what happens is that after a run, the complex dissapears and has to be probed out via exploration - it could be in any system in the region, and has given people of multiple timezones the chance to use the service.
As for corps paying their system rent overseer's, that does not happen, since the overseer is a NPC. But some corps do pay rent for 0.0 access, and 0.0 is actually now a richer place now that exploration sites exist and also that they have a chance to do these complex's in any timezone.
