And?
What is your point?
All i see is a rant that tries to devalue a valid forum post just because what is said does not fit inside your bubble…
End of story…
You aren’t the arbiter of what is or isn’t a valid playstyle either. Each weapon platform has pros and cons to it. Should Dark abyssals be changed because it benefits missiles over turrets? People can just use different ships for that as well. People who train drones are able to use another weapon system. Gallente pilots have hybrid weapons they can rely on for this event if drones are not optimal. gestures at all the polorized Kronos around event sites
He is just giving you hints to make the event sites easier. You absolutely can use droneboats. I have done it and posted pictures even in this topic. Gila can do it, Rattlesnake can do it, Dominix can do it, Ishtar can do it. You just have to know what you are doing. They can reach comparable run-times to other, missile or gun-based ships and if you shoot the NPCs in the right order, you don’t even have to scoop drones all the time. I have done several runs in all kind of Droneboats and they do the job.

Oh, you need more examples of „EVERY PLAYSTYLE“? Happy to oblige, how about a few more:
- Smartbombing Abbadon
- An exploration Heron
- A PI-hauling Epithal
- A HAW Dreadnaught
- A logibro Scythe
All of these — plus the previous posts — should be not just able to complete the combat site, but CCP must make them able to?

this guy is too stupid to get that not every ship will be suitable for every aspect of the game.

Adjust & Adapt vs. Clueless

It’s more a case of egocentrism: “people and the game should adapt to me”.

I can think of one playstyle that justifies that (with great effect and content creation, to the benefit of -my kind of- game), hisec gankers 
It’s more of a “well if people are going to be this stupid why shouldn’t I take advantage and have some lols”. Just as one does with farming ishtars in null, running a corp, making profit on the market and pretty much most other play styles that involve others. It’s just a bit more on the nose.
Not that I’m a ganker, not done it in a few years now and even then it was more personal than regular.
easy to solo, can protect your stuff if you play smart and could easily kill any aggressor. All i have lost was a tractor unit beacause i flew too far from it and left it uprotected. You learn from your mistakes.
I think the main take away from this is
CCP needs to do better.
Should Drones be targeted? I understand those who think yes. But that does mess with some of the ships out here specially tailored for drones. Kinda like when CCP did the Jammer Nerf to where now the jammed target can still target you. totally killed Solo jamming pvp .
Spawn rate of combat sites, difficulty level of sites etc. I dont mind the hard sites, but they should had included easier sites for players starting out. But I guess the new players just get the explo sites and we all know how fun that is
Explo sites. Random and Random
Random places they spawn, you can find 3 in a system or go 9 systems before finding one
Random loot. Some cans like 8 mill, other cans empty or like 20K
Overall I give the event a C or 3 stars our of 5

targeting of drones makes it more difficult to enter with super tanky ships and just auto kill everything with drones. So yes it does make you think a bit in making a fit for the job and play a bit more active rather than passive. The loot is adequate.
That’s the “slippery slope” logical fallacy. And it certainly isn’t true. People have been crying about this same thing for 20 years, doomsaying the game because it doesn’t pander to them and guess what?
They were wrong. The game is still here.
This is the false equivalency fallacy. Not everything has to be equal. Not everything has to be doable with one ship.
And posts like this:
Which leads to this:
Perhaps if you weren’t so toxic, and go straight to personal attacks when responding to people they wouldn’t feel the need to flag your posts.
Maybe the sole fact that not every ship can do everything is EXACTLY the problem?
People pay for this so it’s the OBLIGATION of the provider not to pamper one playstyle or specific ships but to make sure that EVERYTHING works?
This is called balancing a game…
Same goes to that ANNOYING pvp favor in this game…this has to stop END OF STORY
Why?
Because i say so…
I suggest you leave the game asap. Give me your stuff before leaving

No, it isn’t a problem. Why would a guardian be able to handle these sites without any hassle? I DST supposed to handle them as well?
Wow dude I feel the anger from that post…
Chill out.
Noone is going to take you seriously if you are just an angry alt pundit.
I genuinely hope you are not like this in RL. Peace and love towards what is going on in your RL dude.
Thank you for leaving more sites for the rest of us. making an assumption from a sample size of one is very clever.
I just did 8 sites (no shortcut tokens, full clears) in a Tengu:
- 220M loot (Jita Buy Estimate) → 210M after sales tax, just right-click-sell-all (EVE Tycoon)
- 85.79M Bounty
First Kill: 0447 ET, Last Kill 0622 ET → 95min runtime
= 295,78M net income after sales tax
= 3.11M ISK/minute = 187M ISK/h
- you can make even more when using shortcut tokens (8 of them would have cost 8x3M = 24M in Jita from contracts but cut runtime in half and reducing bounty by like 25%).
= 210M net loot + 64.5M bounty - 24M tokens = 250.5M in 47.5min = 5.27M ISK/minute = 316.42M/h with shortcut tokens
Again, thank you for not running them!

While good, don’t forget to also add in the time you need to find sites and travel in between, only way to do direct comparisons. Although in this case it’s not needed as it’s just a “you can make isk just fine with this, stop being dumb”.

Well, don’t suggest to roam HighSec and do two sites in an hour while wasting 80% of your time traveling. I did these 8 sites because I had 3 in-system when logged in and 5 others in the 2 systems next door. You can make really good money with them, so any claims that they are “not worth it” are clearly wrong. You just can’t expect to run them 4 hours in a row. But if you have some nearby, just undock and clear them, it’s easy money.
