We didn’t see the lil omega symbol anywhere thou and its freaking everywhere when you play alpha.
They are probably 2nd char’s with the skill farming as main as you say. 0 isk costing alts.
Multiboxing 12 chars looks more like work than fun thou.
Okay so this is where we should start the next thread on General
How come we need to pay for our multi-character training when we can just use each account at the same time anyway as long as the first clone is in Omage state?
Put that to the wolves and see the sheep run and hide.
That’s why CCP is changing the way skill points work and removing attributes, it will still be cheaper to run alts this way but not free anymore.
Bookmarked, for future discussion, thanks

Can’t you tell they are all omega because the UI is green? You can’t change the UI color if you are Alpha
For sure they are alts in the slots #2 and #3

It hasn’t been ‘free’ for years.
My friend made a profit on it just last year, so im not sure what you mean. Are you including the free sp you get from log in rewards into your calculations?
Has CCP mentioned this somewhere and if so where?

Fanfest Aquablue there was a full presentation, though we are reading between the lines as no mention of how the final update will actually be other than it was said on stage.
There is a topic that can be found titled [Skill Training/Attributes removal]
I won’t cross link forums perhaps the search can lead us to it.

Nope. His math is off.
You might have some situations where plex price dropped, you bought a few thousand of plex and a few weeks later prices rise or there is somekind of omega deal (like right now) that would change the equation.
But generally speaking, no, skillfarming has not been profitable or covering the cost completely for longer. You certainly couldn’t call it free.
Ahh yea he bought 3 years worth on 2 chars on a big deal. But that is good to hear it is not profitable anymore.
■■■■ ganking and everything related to it .
It should be ■■■■■■■ against EULA but CCP favors destruction to make you buy more plex that go in their pockets.
PERIOD
Whenever i log in eve i wonder where the fak can i go and earn some isk without gankers find me and gank me.
Literally any system in which the gankers aren’t currently located, which can be found out by looking at the kill board.
They literally have eyes and spies everywhere. it does not matter if the system is 1.0.
It does not matter how fitted i am because they can kill anything no matter the fit and still get isk positive because CCP favors destruction
It does not even matter if they get isk positive . they do it coz they can, coz they like it, coz thats what they do.
Sure, but they’re not going to travel 30 jumps to get ya, when there are plentiful targets in the system they are in already. Pick some quiet cluster in Placid, Verge, Kador, Drelik, etc., and have fun.
Damn it, now they know where players think its safe for them to farm something in peace and go gank the places XD
Can they not just simply make the ships alot harder to be ganked?
Forget the miners and haulers.
At least the Battleships,
The marauders that should be state of the art battleships wich take large skilling time look like papers in front 4 to 8 catalysts
You fundamentally misunderstand how gankers operate.
They go to where the targets are. If the places I mentioned would see a sudden influx of players, then they might go there. But this won’t happen, because most players are ignorant, and are going to continue living in one of the ten or so popular mining-mission/running systems/clusters in the game.
So if you go to one of the places I mentioned, they won’t follow you, because that would be a waste of time. Why would someone walk 10 miles to a well when there’s a working faucet at home?

i dont think they are ignorant
i think they go where the profit is
The systems you mentioned they are mosty likely not profitable for anyone
Like no moon mining happening
No boosts available
ADjacent low sec where agents would send yyou do go die in a ball of fire
Non profitable LP rewards
As risk goes up, profit goes up. You can have maximum profits, but that will also give you maximum risk. Or you can go somewhere where the profits are lower, but you also won’t experience as much, or maybe even any risk.
If you want maximum profits and no risk, well, you’ll just have to come to terms with the fact that that option doesn’t exist.
Give me a break with your math,
how did you calculate that you need to risk a 500m ship for a 15m reward mission of 30 mins long (because ship only costed 500m)
or you mine a rock of 20m for 1 hour with a hulk of 300m.
where is your risk and reward balance ?
in the time you make the isk to buy one you get ganked and destroyed 50 times
