Abyssals have bad scaling. They are for vet players, and do not produce enough income for new players, and it will only get worse as the mats are seeded on the market.
the over all design is heading in the right direction with the grouping and stuff, but they will eventually end up being useless missions because of ccp’s consistent refusal to do anything pve driven.
As i said, this will continue until hilmar is fired, resigned, or by some magical chance, decides he is wrong. that is why i wrote pearl, and i will continue to do so until they terminate him.
