Soon, farmers would switch to the weaker faction as their relative LP value increases. With more LP available, their value relative to ISK soon decreases, so that the value of LP store items of the leading faction plummets.

On the highest Tier, LP rewards are increased by 225% from base. On the lowest tier, all LP rewards are reduced by 50%.

When a faction is successful in FW and gains systems, their FW tier increases on a 5-step scale, which in turn affects LP rewards from all FW activities. The Minmatar-Amarr war zone is especially beset by such farmers, as the electronic warfare used by the mission NPCs is easily countered by mission runners.ĭedicated runners would switch their running activities based on a meso-economic cycle called the ‘Pendulum’. LP can then be converted to ISK by buying items, such as faction modules, from the FW factions’ LP-store. The player then uses a dedicated ‘runner’, often in a ship that is kitted to avoid PvP, to clear those missions and receive the Loyalty Point (LP) reward. Players then fly their ‘pullers’ around to create an optimized sequence of mission site bookmarks. This is often done on multiple characters for maximum impact. Mission Farmingįaction warfare mission farming is a PvE activity with a moderate to high ISK/hour potential, whereby the mission runner accepts special missions for FW members from agents in specific systems throughout the war zone. This moratorium is intended for three months, lasting until January 1, 2020, and serves to gather data on whether members of the zone are willing to take up PvP when the income-creation aspects of faction warfare are curbed.

Leaders of major corporations and alliances active in the Minmatar-Amarr Faction Warfare (FW) zone have agreed to not contest systems that contain lowsec FW agents to curb mission farming, a recent Reddit post has revealed.
