You’d think so, but no. If you’re looking to make money, the abyss is new PvE content that offers a good progression path and can offer a good isk efficiency at the higher levels. Incursions are relatively easy to get into (assuming you can fly a BS), and the social aspect is nice for those that desire it. Exploration is still good, assuming you know what you’re doing. All forms of trade or still good ( **oh, watch out for brokers fee’s however, as they have increased. So don’t sit around 1 isking people, or it will eat your lunch** ). Now’s not the best time to get into industry or mining. There are changes coming soon though. So, [keep an eye on the space](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/from-extraction-to-production-update/337887/161) if it is something that you’re interested in. People are complaining about the new dynamic bounty system and ESS when it comes to ratting. But other people are having fun with it and making more money than before. So, it really comes down to whether or not your willing to chase new strats, or sit around getting angry because your deprecated strats are no longer optimal. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/thinking-about-coming-back-after-some-years-away-whats-the-state-of-the-game/337888)._
