Having each site drop 250M was insane, so they tuned it down and wrote in the patch notes. Afterwards each still dropped 150M on average, nothing to complain about. The hack site this winter event are mediocre and clearly meant to be run by new players. CCP keeps changing the setup but I see up and downs, nothing like “only nerfs”.
The options to casually making a lot of ISK in game with a low entry barrier were never better than in this era of EvE.
