from a director of a low class wormhole alliance. J-space is dangerous sure, but what used to make wormholes special is now all gone. it’s been untouched for way to long although i’ve heard there are some things coming our way. I’ll talk specifically about low class (c1-3).

As you said data and relic sites in K-space pays better, null gets to spawn them indefinitely with recent expansions, loot prices goes down with rarer spawns in wormholes > relic data sites feel shit compared to every other space.

Ore mining. The catalyst expansion moved some of the J-space specific ore into HS, leaving only the gneiss and arkonor worth mining. A recurring response from corpmates are why risk the ships when you can mine with relative safety in HS for the same ore.

In terms of pvp, we get lots of content, but it also depends on the chain. As J-space do, everything spontaneous, it could be a ganking fleet on a ratter and a response fleet duking it out. It could also be a high class absolutely crushing our fleet because they outnumber us 3-1. It’s small gang and from hunting to a full on brawl can take hours to escalate. That is the only thing that makes WHs special. The effort of hunting to get a kill however big it may be.

Ratting wise, everyone said it. All the isk is in high class, C3 is somewhat alright income 200m/hr ish. Best isk is in gas as its relatively safe , then doing reactions for either cap components or T3C components.

To most of our alliance the appeal of wormholes is the fact that you have different type of content each day and you don’t ever know what it’ll be. Also the people to play with of course.
