I managed to find five different Capsuleer Day XXII sites this morning across five different systems. Unfortunately, they were all either completed or nearly finished. At this rate, I don’t see myself being able to complete the event successfully. * * * ![D-Scan](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/0/d/c0dd8fc173f4708b0197f3d92dbcbc9e5079e7c4.jpeg) * * * ---

> [@Cypherous](#): > > Its pretty much the same as other events I agree, though from my experience going all the way back to the beginning, this event seems to have noticeably fewer sites in high-sec.

It’s not due to increased activity in high-sec; there are almost no sites (except ore), and the respawn rate is non-existent. This is the first event in over 2 years that I had to complete through mining - so that speaks volumes. ---

If the majority of high-sec players are in Caldari space, then they should spawn more sites. It’s as simple as that. I’m not going to travel 50+ jumps to find event content elsewhere. If this event is designed to encourage players to undock and engage in the game more then it should be making it easier (not harder) for players. Me mining/manufacturing away to complete this event created zero PvP opportunities for opposing players with almost no competition. ---

It’s not just me - many players don’t want to leave their comfort zones. Pretty sure that null-sec didn’t have to venture 50+ jumps to find content for this event or the whining would’ve bern unbearable… And before you start reading me the riot act, I spent a lot of time and effort establishing roots and assets in one area so I didn’t have to relocate 50+ jumps every time I login. Not everyone has unlimited time to spend on EVE… Make sure null is happy; ignore everyone else… ---

Yes, and this is called a skill issue, this is not something CCP can fix, this is something only you can fix So, we have realized that the issue isn’t scarcity but it is, infact, down to the unwillingness of players to leave the forge and venture out of their comfort zone, no sympathy for you ---

No, it’s a time management issue: I don’t have unlimited time. If they make these activities too cost prohibitive from a time perspective, players just won’t participate. I don’t see how actively trying to disengage players is a good thing. As I said, I completed the vast majority of this event MINING. And for the first time, across all 3 of my characters. So I’m not complaining, but it was boring as f\*\*k - and there was zero competition or engagement between players. Fine with me. And I didn’t have to relocate 50+ jumps to achieve this. In fact, I couldn’t have completed it through mining if I’d relocated - because I needed all the required assets setup and situated in a specific way. Play the game the way you want - just not when, where and how you’d like to… ---

CCP caters to a certain type of player, and it’s been obvious for years. I’ve been pushing back on this since 2003. After years of observation and gameplay, the patterns are clear. I’ve got enough ISK, PLEX, and assets to keep my account going indefinitely. I have approximately 70 years worth of PLEX. I’m not trying to “win” the game—I want to _enjoy_ it. But folks like @Cypherous seem dead set on telling everyone else how they _should_ be enjoying it. CCP gets a lot right. But man, they miss nearly as often. * * * ![PLEX Web](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/3/c/e/3ce09beaec67c2ecbc73c64244de6b9a14a82199.png) * * * ---

> [@Swing\_Vote](#): > > At this rate, I don’t see myself being able to complete the event successfully. So, there’s completing the event, and there’s “completing the event in a satisfying (or acceptable) fashion”. For myself, if I have to jump through what I consider to be cumbersome, slow and boring hoops in order to finish, then I simply won’t do the event. As much to add my “players who don’t bother to participate” count to the stats that CCP will inevitably run as for any other reason. So I get it if anyone simply chooses not to finish because it isn’t worth the time, trouble, or change to the routine. However, for someone who wants to finish and doesn’t mind doing the extra hoops, I would recommend a mixture of do whatever relic sites you can find, mine Tyranite in the Tryanite sites you’ll find, buy some Filament and Emission blueprints and loop the Industry loop as much as you can: [Reddit: Reckoning Event Industry Loop](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/1k2828c/getting_more_plex_and_praxis_for_the_year/) As an alternative to the Industry loop, or just to change pace, follow Ashterothi’s guide to the Drifter Wormhole Tourism loop: [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/e/5/ce51bc16c9fa4bf9956267c400b03a064bf7f074.jpeg "How to Crush The Nexus Event Easy! Free Battleship, PLEX and More! - EVE Universe Show 04/22/YC127") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgAjqEEtp4g) And from time to time, you can also drop in any Combat site that shows and pick up some ‘visit site’ and ‘kill Drifters’ points, even if you won’t usually get the Battleship kill or drop. My Gnosis with something like 80 EHP/s passive shield tank and 400-ish HP/s missile/drone DPS (using target painters for application) was able to do the sites, so it doesn’t take a huge fit to do it. It may be more trouble than it’s worth (for me it is), but it’s definitely _possible_ to complete it without searching hundreds of systems for sites. Blueprint / Filament / Emission names (search Contracts for BPCs, Market for finished items): Filaments - Azdaja Redoubt, Conflux Eyrie, Liberated Barbican, Sanctified Vidette, Sentinel MZ (Search Contracts, All, ‘filament’) Emissions - Wideband/Midband/Narrowband Emission Amplifier Blueprint Wideband/Midband/Narrowband Emission Limiter Blueprint (Search contracts, All, ‘emission’) Hope that helps anyone who’s hoping to grab the points needed to complete. ---

> [@Cypherous](#): > > Yes, he gets that he wants to be lazy and have CCP hand him everything on a silver platter, do you know how many solar systems exist in EVE? Hey, be nice. I already said I completed the event (3x) and did it by finding existing Tyranite mining sites (the only ones that appeared often enough). I just said it was a shame that I had to do it this way **due to the complete and total lack of combat sites in my region**. And just FYI, I did go out 20 or so jumps in various directions and the frequency of combat sites didn’t improve. To reiterate: This isn’t laziness - it’s about not having an hour to dick around trying to find content when I’ve only got an hour to spend playing. ---

> [@Arthur\_Aihaken](#): > > it’s about not having an hour to dick around trying to find content when I’ve only got an hour to spend playing. Unfortunately EVE isn’t like other games where instant gratification exists when it comes to events where other players are involved, so if you’re on a time crunch and you’re playing during peak hours you’re going to be out of luck, the hacking sites are a lot faster to do as you can zip around to find those in a frigate just using the agency window to look for systems with decent numbers of sigs in them, i assume you’re already doing the same for your combat sites ---

The whole “instant gratification” aspect really doesn’t appeal to me. I do what I do when time permits, and it’s fairly low-key. I completed the event - it just wasn’t very fun (got all the rewards). Aside from the SKINR elements, PLEX and SP - it really wasn’t very memorable. The fact that it sucked isn’t a dealbreaker - it’s just disapointing. ---

Well some events have been OK, even recently for those who like the way the Winter events work, for instance. However I much preferred the approx. 2016 style of events where almost everything came as random drops from combat sites and the sites where both widely available and doable in even Alpha ships. There was a lot more flying around, racing to sites, trying to score the kill, stealing of cargoes, etc. As opposed to “grind out 1050 points on every character” which just kills all my interest before the event even starts.
