I havnt seen people so transparent and atypically refusing change since I raised my children past the age of 6. Let me guess, Mommy and Daddy didnt beat your @$$ when you had it coming?

I've actually seen one of those self entitled brats mouth off to the wrong person and get his head blown off. It was quite horrific while at the same time frighteningly satisfying.

If you want raw isk balanced, then tech moons (at a minimum) need to be nerfed.
Something along the lines of minerals depleting, or requiring exploration to find new sources. After all, t64 moon minerals are supposed to be rare.
Maybe even having them turn up in gas clouds....

Then there's the wormhole problem. Arguably the biggest isk faucet in game right now. It needs balancing, but to what extent, and how to nerf it for better balance?

Not true. Try running an incursion (anywhere, hi/lo/null) with no logi. Almost no risk is soloing a level 4 with a local tank. Vanguard sites require 2-3 logi pilots. No logi means you have a 100% chance of losing your ships. There is plenty of risk there, and this is not to mention that most people will be meeting their logi pilots for the first time in a pickup fleet. Another risk.

but as for the market, it won't get any better, it's already been ruined for life.... take startrek online for instance (wow,eq2,etc.)
only way to fix that is to put a max cap on market/contract items for each individual item

as for mission runners It takes long drooling days and hrs even at lvl 4 mission's just to get enough isk for a basic crusier and setup and god for give a battle crusier or tech 2 frig
