I think the new system is great!! Why?
In the past, "good" plexes in empire were camped and there was ninja-looting, making it far too easy for some people to make a lot of isk. Also, static plexes in 0.0 were farmed.
Now however, in order to make money from sites, you have to put the effort in to scan them down, which gives those willing to put the effort in the chance to run them and get the loot.
Last monday I couldn't even use probes. I bought skills and started training. On friday i could use sifts, which is where the fun started. In high sec I've gotten a 15M faction AB form an encounter site (the one's u find with on-board), i got a gistii a-type mwd from a 3/10 serp plex, a daredevil BP from a 3/10 serp plex and just last nite a low-grade snake beta from a combat site that escalated. Total haul was 240M not including other loot. Not bad for less than a weeks worth of exploring with fairly mediocre skills!
It's by no means easy, as I've spent hours scanning, but I've made more isk than if I were running missions (can't do lvl 3's yet even) or mining. So I'm pretty chuffed.
Now just need to go find some more decent systems!

i'm sorry but I don't know what high sec is ...
Precisely, you're killing BS's. Making 240m in a week in high sec doing nothing but scanning and running a few plexes is decent going for someone who hadn't even trained any scanning skills until last monday! it's safe, easy, requires little to no concentration, low investment and doesn't need massive standings. if the rewards in 0.0 are poor, then that perhaps needs fixing. but removing static plexes is a good thing, imho at least.

Judging by "other mickey"'s contracts and standings then he had never farmed a complex before in his life
Fixed it for you.

Funny that he doesn't see the problem with having to be a 12 month old player to be able to scan down the lowest level complex in the game.
Who says you need to be a 12 month old player to scan down a plex?
Science 3
Astrometrics 4
Signal Acquisition 3
Frigate Skill 3 (For improved scan time)
A little over one weeks training! That and a scanning frigate is enough to scan down anything in empire. Plus, the encounter sites (which do have faction spawns) don't require any skills at all!
