Originally by: mishkof What I dont understand is the people who cry to nerf missions...
You dont do missions. The Carebears that do them have no effect on you what so ever. Most of them dont PVP, trade or do anything that would threaten anything you do in eve. (At least the hardcore mission runners)
I just dont get people who just want to **** on anothers good time.
The hardcore mission runners do though. Because they create a massive influx of new ISK. That by itself is an effect on the economy. They also tend to refine and sell minerals at below what it is reasonable for miners to sell them for (Macro miners excepted). They create demand for certain ship types.
They allow people in 0.0 to have mission running alts to replenish ISK when the going gets tough (This obviously would not be the same as players solely dedicated to mission running, but it deserves mention.)
They are certainly a large part of the economy, one way or another. Saying they have no effect on anyone else is a bit short sighted. --------------

Originally by: Queen Killerz Are people really that dumb that they cant see truncate has made payout less? that they don't see how there been a decrease in payout in missions? I don't have to prove crap. check wallet dates and look at your mission data mate.
How has truncated payouts lessened the amounts? You do what truncate means, right? It means not all names are listed, but instead listed as "..."
All ships killed you are given the bounty for, whether they are truncated or not. Truncation has had zero effect on mission payouts.

I for one have not noticed any drop in bounties in the missions I ran in the past few days... Everything is as it should be.
And all the hatred basically stems from envy. The only thing stopping the whiners from doing the same is that they consider mission running the most boring thing in the world and they would rather do something exciting to them. While the hardcore mission runners (well, at least my humble self) actually have some fun doing them (even if half of that fun is wathing the wallet blink). And of course it cannot be that someone else can have fun earning money when they consider it a chore...

Sorry man. I have ran missions before. It really isnt massive amounts of minerals. You arent getting enough to make anything substantial like a carrier or anything. A min drop in 0.0 can net you more trit then you could get in months of missioning.
If it makes it easier for some to PVP then that is a good thing. This is a PVP game.
If someone is a hardcore mission runner what do they spend their ISK on? officer mods from 0.0...missiles?
I would buy your arguement that to much ISK is being pumped into eve if it was causing inflation...but it isnt. Prices on most items are going down. You need to provide more substancial evidence then what is basicaly some down to which is...people are making money.
Edit - sorry have to add this. I just came from teh drone regions and that is the cause of the fall of mins like Nox. you can get 400k-500k K in a couple of hours ratting. /ninja edit

There's been no change to mission bounties or rewards where I am. The loot has become less and less valuable over the last six months but not significantly. I'm still earning the same with L4 as I always did (between 15 and 20 mil an hour). -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran)

It's not about stepping on other people's good time, it's about balance.
It's that out of all the options available to effortlessly grind ISK, Missionrunning by far exceeds them all.
and please don't think that missions are ONLY run by carebears/people who never PvP. You'd be suprised at just how many PvPers get their funding by missionrunning. ...

Originally by: Dirk Magnum I've run missions in a Raven quite extensively (standing with RSS is now like 9.5) since January and have not experienced a perceptible drop in either loot value or missions payouts since then. If someone has objective data supporting an overall drop in mission ISK gain I'd love to see it, and would gladly change my opinion on the subject henceforth.
I have seen a drop in mission loot , but it started in december , apart from getting less decent loot I have not seen certain missions like Angel Extraveganza since

I haven't noticed any difference in missions but they flucuate so much, I couldn't notice if I wanted to. My level 3 agent gives missions any where from 150K to 600K add bonus. The bounites are cruiser on those and are similar to .4 sec rats.

Missions were nerfed.
No more rare spawns like Domination bosses etc either. Most loot in cans is useless of almost no value.
Several missions dont even get to have bounties, waste of ammo and time.
For a player using t2 gear theres almost no point in running missions.
For the people saying.. go into 0.0 etc.. some people dont like to have to be in 1k ppl alliances to be able to do anything. Some r sheep and like it.. some dont. |

Edited by: Judge Ment on 30/03/2008 17:32:17 Your all to much = And CCP Is full of CRAP TOO!
First off: I might be a carebear and PVP. Hell I done both sense I started CCP. From the beginning I lived in 0.0 creating my market. Then Joining Imperium to fight in Fleet battles. Then I decided enough of this lag I want something more from this game - I created a Account K Rose - A Industrial, Manufacture - Science CEO.
Second off: All you mutts sit on the forum and cry about how bad things are with ISK Sellers and Macro Miners, When CCP Already new that there was a problem. Note: Most working people pay for isk because CCP Forgets that - Takes tme to make isk -
Third most thing to remember: John Joe, It takes a lot of isk to PVP. So yes most PVPers have a CAREBEAR Account!
Last: the Grubbing CEO that farm their people don't really split the correct amount - this leaving most PVP people to run them Carebear accounts..

Well ya NOOB, you must be the kinda person to mine your isk. Or maybe that guy who thinks he a pirate. Or maybe your just kinda person who just forum TROLL.
These are the idiots we don't need controlling the game! People need to wake up and smell the coffee. Or we should just find anohter game to waste our money on each month.

Edited by: Rabbitgod on 30/03/2008 18:50:12 I made 1.4bil in just about a month of LV4 mission running. So my only comments are these.
A) Your doing it wrong.
B) Nerf Missions - no more high sec LV4 agents.
C) If your are clearing 1.4bil a month but your expenses are so high that you feel poor then get your expenses under control because your doing that wrong.
D) If you are making and banking most of the 1.4bil but are unhappy because you want that shiny officer fitted Rattlesnake or Nightmare, tough. Besides your don't want those ships you'll just become a big target and lose them. How do I know? Because writing, even if it is just here on EvE-O, is a window into the soul and I can see in you is a shed full of dull and rusty tools.
This doesn't apply only to the OP it applies to anyone that supports her views.

I think PEOPLE are missing the point what OP is saying. EVE is attacking missions people by decreasing the payments in Bounties and Loot. The Timetable that it takes to make enough isk to stay a float is CRAZY.
Point is logical On CCP side I can agree that GTC might be the reason for HUGE concern. Which falls under the ISK Farmers who don't pay for the game.
Same reason why they NERF the carrier, OR At least they didn't admit to them reason.
Im coming close to giving it up! tbh

Yah, December at least. It used to be worth checking the loot before putting it in the reproc container but I gave that up earlier this year. If it's not a really obvious named item it goes in the junk pile now.
On the plus side it seems to have pushed even more mission runners into selling stuff on the market and a lot of them don't seem to have a clue what the mineral value is

There are market bots to stop you from doing this! BTW Nice IDea I tried it, You might make some isk but would take ALONG time to make anything usefull of it

i disagree with this part of your post, I play this game via GTCs, i have 2 accts and spend what ever i spend on GTCs. But somebody buys those GTCS so the end result is CCP still get money for my accts, they just aren't getting it from me and they probable aren't getting as much as I would pay for them. But they are getting paid

Edited by: Zifrian on 31/03/2008 02:45:17 I just want the standings for JC's and to use the LP store eventually. I could really care less about the isk reward. It's nice but I could make more with exploration or mining/industry probably. Running missions gets pretty gd boring honestly. I wish I could do them faster but that's because my skills suck heh.

Jealousy maybe? Such is life. You will always have people who want what you have worked hard for. Why should they bust their ass to get these items when they can just kick back and wait to high sec gank you and viola, what was once yours that you worked hard to get, is now theirs for hardly working.
But its ok, you can cash in your kill rights to get back at them and get even!... er... wait, guess I was mistaken.

I got Guristas Extravaganza yesterday with a qual:18 Level 4 agent but turned it down since I've heard bad things. It's the first ____________ Extravaganza I ever remember getting. It would have yielded about 4200 LPs but whatever. As it turns out turning it down was a good move, since I got "The Assault" next, which also gives around 4200 LPs. The Assault can be completed in less than 20 minutes with a standard Raven.

I guess I've found that LPs are more valuable to me.
edit: this post was in response to the other post that stated a lack of _____ Extravaganza missions (maybe they were lessened in frequency; I'm only speaking from limited personal experience), but my connection is acting up and it's taking forever to copy a quote and transfer it.
guristas extra is rather easy 
and damn, never knew you could do the assault that way, i likes the 30mil bounty/salvage
