0.0 you plex - hi sec you run lvl 4 missions those are the comparisms for pve.. at least if one was in 0.0 wanted to shoot rats and make isk vs doing it in hi sec. Already seen a well detailed post at how far a comparism plexing is above running lvl 4 missions. Eve's billionaires didnt get that way from doing missions and it wasnt ratting in 0.0 either (maybe both were viable a long time ago).
I run missions mostly when I have downtime from 0.0 (about once a year) and while I'm waiting out 24 hrs for jump clone (because of tending my main source of income, or getting stuff prepared to move to 0.0). Plenty of times I've ran missions during a war dec (a bit more risk than ratting in 0.0 imo). If it's too many idiots that think there is too much iskies to be made doing them.. just take the isk away to shut them up as they dont know how to really make isk. Risk vs Reward indeed, I make more isk with a few hours of complete boredom and planning (all in empire) than I can with 10x the ammount of time doing lvl 4 missions (and yeah thats why those guys are idiots).
Honestly I could care less what happens with lvl 4 missions I just want something to do while I'm holed up in empire, preferably something that I can use my *free* time from 0.0 to improve my faction standings, getting close to one of the last goals I made a few years back :) I can deal with war decs ect while moving inventory around, but going to jita while trying to do fw I'm sure isnt viable. Lvl 3 missions.. like the bartender finally get to you only to turn around and help 10 others that stepped up to the bar after you. I had fun exploring for abit .. but after enough people caught on I get on later in the day and the sites are either already gone or empty (at least I can't find them like I used to). So my delima, hi-sec fun while sitting in empire a couple days here and there.
For those that say blah blah pvp blah blah everything is crap. Well you can blah blah when your ships, mods and rigs can't be built cause nobody is mining, plexing, running missions and salvaging wrecks, ect. So yeah pvp is great but other aspects are important to eve. Everything has it's place and lvl4 missions are not on the top of the chain for making isk in hi sec.
Anyway that's my view and there are so many flawed and inacurate arguments for it both ways and just as many good arguments both ways. However the dust settles I hope something is left thats fun, and I have no doubt that the actual reasons for any changes are well thought out ones.
