Since you’re going to work on Wormholes, please, you need to balance the loot from the anomalies.
Anomalies with no enemies give more loot than anomalies with enemies and combat. Fighting sleepers to get the cans requires not only combat, but also having data or archaeological modules not to mention the time spent exposed in combat inside a full-PVP environment. These places cannot pay less than a no-combat anomaly that can be farmed with a cheap, simple ship. This is extremely unbalanced, and I actually quit the game once because of this.
I had dreamed of fighting sleepers in dangerous wormhole anomalies. I was really frustrated, after investing so much time, to find out that after all that effort, the cans only had bird poop inside.
The real loot is the blue loot. And yes, all bird poop, unless you get a talocan spawn. Running these in a Stratios is a lot of fun in the c5 systems.
But I do agree that these cans should have more wormhole exclusive loot. Even if its just skiner stuff or bits of blue loot and gas. These cans should have a better chance at more value.
Well, I get what you are trying to say, but don’t forget that the Sleepers you fight to “get the cans” are of very good value tho. So the entire site does indeed pay quite good.
You are right with the part that the hacking itself isn’t worth anyones time tho, the loot tables for the Data Sites are crap for more than a decade and the relic sites also did go down significantly in value. Mostly only the Talocan Wrecks are hacked, the rest is often ignored. They shouldn’t buff it too much imho, but at least to a degree that hacking 20 cans is worth the effort.

Actually not… The ships give around 10M and the scraps less than 5M… and you have to spend bullets of turrents and repair and buy new drones…
My friend is hacking ruined sites right now, he just got 100M easy in one WH… more than 15M each anomaly, less than 5 minutes each…
To take out a forgotten perimeter I have to fight for 20 minutes, not counting, savage the mess, and also open cans, that just worth nothing…
sounds like you where in a c1, the easiest and lowest paying WH site. They are crap isk.
If you go up the difficulty more the pay will far outstrip youfriend though. A c6 Forgotten site is about 750-1bill per site including drifter and salvage, + some cans to hack afterwards
