0.0 was fine back then. Implementing the upgradable anoms without any sort of malus to bad security systems, 0.0 got bloated so hard (remember the maps saying 70000 or so players in NC space?). It was literally impossible to solo roam through NC space in anything but a frigate. The moment the anoms got nerfed again, you were at least good to travel between the bad intersections.
If anything, anomalies lead to carebears coming from empire to 0.0, who unfortunately coming in the thousands can have quite a punch at anyone who is "visiting" their systems.
The first rollout of upgradable anomalies did a lot more harm to 0.0 than good.
Back then everyone had a mission alt or similar moneymaking alt in high-sec. Not to mention chaining worked much better.
Isk faucets were much much smaller so the value of the ISK was much higher. 220m would buy you a 30 day GTC (before they were called PLEX). So before dominion prices weren't as high as they are today.
After sanctum nerf we got the worst of both worlds. High prices introduced with the easy money given by anomalies, and crap space in 80% of nullsec. Like i said in the original "white-hot" thread, it would have been much better if they had removed anomalies alltogether, at least we would see a decrease in prices.
Today its even worse.. less money is beeing made by the average grunt, and things cost even more than they did 6 months ago.
And don't get me wrong, i have access to both sanctums and profitable LVL 4 agents so my money is guaranteed regardless. But i have no use for my money, if other people can't afford ships to fight me like it currently is in null-sec.

Yeah then they buffed level 4s and made them a lot more profitable. Because thats what hisec players needed, more easy ISK that never gets blown up.
As delicate and as gentle as a 10 inches thick steel door.
That is why you, trebor and seleene are my favourites xD Sometimes the only difference between a budding genius and a blooming idiot is where they chose to take a stand. |

Don't look now, but there might be another buff coming for high-sec missioning in the form of a FW tweak. That is, removing faction NPC police. If you don't know how that affects missioning i'm not going to bother to educate.
And i also don't understand the ones who said that the anom nerf brought about a good riddance when the "carebears" and the "noobs" were forced to leave. Null-sec is looking so much better for PVP, with such an abundant disposition of clueless targets for us to shoot now that they are all gone.. All hail the anom nerf.

Now now.. Greyscale aint a bad dev. He just had a bad idea and got convinced by the wrong people that this was the way to go. Sometimes the only difference between a budding genius and a blooming idiot is where they chose to take a stand. |

Jenn aSide wrote:An unmentioned part of the anom problem is that most of them suck terribly.Other than the 2 flavors of havens and sanctums, the only anom worth doing is forsaken hubs (which ROCK btw, I don't even screw with sanctums and havens when forsaken hubs are available).
All the other hubs (regular, forlorn, and hidden) suck magical unicorn balls, and the rally points aren't even worth considering. You don't NEED more havens and sanctums, you could simply make it to where the other anomalie types don't suck so much.
And on any system below -0.4 you only get 2 forsakens and 1 haven (the ugly child version) at MIL V. So you're talking about a shitload of money, a lot of logistical work to get that system upgraded, then a lot of grinding to up the military level (good luck if you only have a handfull of belts) only to get 2 forsaken hubs and 1 haven of the sucky sort.
And by the way!? Forsaken hubs are bugged. More often than not they will not spawn any rats and the GM's can't do anything about it. The solution is waiting for 3 to 4 consecutive DT's in the hopes that they will be fixed for a day, only to bug out again.

Level 4 missioning isn't measured in bounty cycles so the isk/h is an average of the money you get after 2 to 3 days. Running 4 hours of missions for 3 days will get me 900.000.000,00 isk so thats an average of 75m ISK per hour after all the work is done. Like the OP said, the proper way to run missions is farming LP which means more often than not you will simply blitz through the missions without bothering to salvage at all, unless its a faction mission in which case the tags will be usefull for the LP store.
So yes it is quite possible to make over 2b in one week with nothing but lvl 4 high-sec missions, playing only 4 hours per day. The gold is there, just don't insult me by asking how to get to it.
Do your own homework =) Sometimes the only difference between a budding genius and a blooming idiot is where they chose to take a stand. |
