There is nothing wrong with getting rich in EVE, yet Incursions allow so with little afford. Quite in contrast to most Incursion haters I actually run them. The best I ever got where 780M before LP in a single day (about 7h). All I had to do was to warp around in the same system and shoot the same NPCs over and over again. I know of two pilots that crossed 1B in a single day before LP. That might be a little much for highsec don't you think? One player told me he used to bot before Incursions. So Incursions is even better then botting.
There is only one way to top that and that is running complexes in 0.0. Complexes that are not spawning as fast as you can clear them out like Incursions. And you only get this if you run a 10/10 solo. I'm sorry but that is not exactly balanced.
Risk wont come from NPCs it has to be provided by players. So either heavyly limit the Incursions that happen in highsec and move them to lowsec (OMGWTFLOWSECBOOST?) or make Incursion sites in highsec PvP zones.
Believe it or not Incursions hinder PvP. If you run Incursions regularly you neither want to have wardecs nor killrights on you. Given that those players who stay for years tend to be those that PvP a lot it might be in CCPs very best interest to have a look at this problem.
Another problem with Incursions themself are unpopular sites. They are unpopular because it's a PITA to get a fleet composition to actually run them and when you got that you make a good bit less ISK out of those sites. There should be more sites on top of that with more restrictions to ship classes.
Changing the LP reward wont solve any problem. LP for normal missions have dropped quite a lot since CONCORD LP dropped below 800ISK/LP. If at all either remove the ability to trade CONCORD LP or move it to 0.0 factions only.
I don't think that lowering the payout would change much. Players will just run them for longer to get the same ISK. You might have to use your brain in a reasonable manner to deal with the problem and it might even take more then one iteration to untangle it.
EDIT: The forum tried to eat this post. For all what is holy increase that stupid timeout already!

Sadly Miilla can't post here himself. As surprising as it might sound, his spelling is no the reason.
Miilla > i bet once the bar on CONTROL of incurions heads towards 0% effective the rewards will stop paying out or go low
Miilla > so thatll slow up farming lol

In contrast to general believe, interfaces to computer systems are not meant to be distractive. |

I'm not going to judge this proposal, instead I will explain to you what you are asking for.
I build BCs. Lots and lots of BCs. In your average week I build and sell 150 Drakes. I could build and sell 300 but I have problems to get all the trit I need. One freighter with BCs is worth about 3B ISK including the freighter itself. The profit stored in that freighter is about 150M ISK. That means if Sanshas would gank that freighter I would have to ship nearly 20 freighter loads to Jita to recover from that loss.
Since I can't tell what's at the other side of the gate and the Journal is fairly slow I would have to use a scout. Not much of a problem, I have 3 accounts. As I can't go AFK anymore to do the freighter runs (lots and lots of freighter runs) I would have to calculate my prices a little different. How would you like to pay 45M ISK for a Drake?
The problem is not the tears. I would make much more ISK then I do nowadays. The problem is that the Amarr-Jita-pipe is buzzing with life and most players believe that carebearing is boring. (Well it is, but most of the work is done by the AP, so I don't really care personally.)
The game has a tutorial that gives you a mining laser and a railgun and tells you to go shoot rocks and red crosses. It teaches you nothing else. It's been that way for 8 years, so are you really surprised that there are people who aren't aware that this is a pvp game? --Jafit McJafitson |

Warning. The system you are about to jump into has an Incursion by hostile Sansha forces.
Enter at your own discretion.
Yes/No.
I then go and get my scout. As I wrote I have no problem with that. I actually like profits!
