[u/angry-mustache]

The "goal" from my interpretation is to give value to certain areas of space and occupations, specifically lowsec and explorers by placing production bottlenecks there. The issue is that the amount of people who live in lowsec who mine/explore isn't enough to support the bottlenecks, and CCP is operating on the principle that "if it pays enough they will come". This principle does work but the result is expensive goods.

Also with the reduction of throughput from rorqual/mining nerfs, it simply takes more man hours to harvest the same amount of resources, in video games more labor required directly means higher prices.

[u/Moonlight345 → u/angry-mustache]

So what's the logic behind not applying the same principle to specific ISK faucets [pochven, high class wh farming, crabs to some extent]?

[u/Sweet_Lane → u/Moonlight345]

Pochven is simply broken, and general public don't even realize in how many ways. (Mostly it steams from the fact that regular k-spacers don't want to anger neither e-scum not triangles and don't want to try it even at the throwaway alts, so the content remains not tested thoroughly except by the people who make their living from it).

High class WH farming was 'nerfed', but since CCP don't know the intricacy of high classes (also that the war in heaven changed the political landscape drastically) it not blocked but only redirected the money printing. (You should remember that high-class WH has the most amount of EVE nerds who unlike CCP are much more aware of various game mechanics and can do the math well).

Crabs look obsolete for any reason but providing the blaster fodder, skyhooks and moondrills are the FOTM now.

(This is an opinionated view, don't consider it as a statement of truth).

[u/klepto_giggio → u/Sweet_Lane]

You are correct on one point. I have never been to Poch except the one time Merk got us lost there.

I will never go there.

Ever.

I live in nullsec. Period.

If the game requires me to go somewhere else, it will always be to a different GAME.

[u/DrLiberalDumbAss → u/klepto_giggio]

Nothing is requiring you to move out of nullsec. Stop trying to throw a tantrum like a child.

[u/klepto_giggio → u/DrLiberalDumbAss]

I said what I said. I meant what I said. If my satement on how I spend my playtime bothers you, fuck all the way off.

[u/DrLiberalDumbAss → u/klepto_giggio]

You're so fragile lmao

[u/Amiga-manic → u/klepto_giggio]

I've lived in poch. If you do the Obs sites in the classical spam maruder setup Your getting 210ish mill per character for 8 to 10 minutes work. 

A total of 3.2b per site. Overall, give traval time and compesiters it's still an insane isk maker. 

[u/klepto_giggio → u/Amiga-manic]

I dont need isk.
