Two reasons you dont see many people when you're in w-space.
1. Timezones 2. Cloaks |

Dropbears Anonymous. Thank you. Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

And it brings us once again to "pay for a new account to get a scout alt" routine that looks like a scam to most people. Let's see, get another sub (that's double the payment for people with one account)
OR
Just do highsec incursions or missions
DUH. No brainer there. In a game where stats or ISK are the end all be all (and it was advertised that way) people either want ISK meaning they'll find the easiest way to get it, or they want stats in the easiest manner (highsec war, opportunistic ganking) or they want to at the least keep their ships off someone else's kill board (deciding that if you are not going to be the boot, then don't be the ass either).
The outcome was predictable. I've been selling off my Astero's and Stratioses rather then risk enhancing someone else's killboard.
You end up at pretty much the same distance as before in typical wh ships. If you are 1-2km out of the jump range, you'll make it safely back just as earlier.

To my disappointment, i have not seen a single person on any sleeper sites/mining/hauling. All i've been seeing is bubbles POS's with inactive ships for 99% of the time or the occasional astero scanning around.
I can confidently say that i've become pretty good at probe scanning and Dscanning and i can quickly find POS's in wh's. Also i try not to use probes early inside wh's so that i won't scare people off. But where is everyone?
My question as a WH noobie is: Is this scarcity of targets typical in wh's or is it something that changed with the Hyperion patch? Also, should i give it some time for the changes to sink in or should i be looking for outher sources of pvp? I've been to plenty C3-C6's and even though there is a POS in almost every one of them, i rarely see sleeper wrecks or mined ore fields.
At this point i im focusing on my SB and within the next month i will be in a pretty good spot gank wise, but it's not my gank i have an issue with but the lack of targets.
So, anyone who could shed some light to my mysterious back luck would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like a troll attempt since you mention word Hyperion, but on the off-chance it isnt, heres the answer.
You are doing it wrong. 95% of wh space is empty, and is only transited on occasion by cloaky players. Chance of a kill is random and low.
I am not going to tell you how to hunt the hunter, so to speak, but your approach is very wrong and simply shows you dont understand how WH corps operate. Join one for a few months, and you will know how to hunt wormhollers. Jumping into any random hole and hoping to probe someone is.... pointless. |
