Those who haul need money in that very Moment or they save up for something bigger. You can't just Expect an event to occur every day to supply you with money, and certainly I doubt that there is anyone who does that.
So saying that factions will die because of this is just overly Dramatic and unrealistic. The amount of money gained from a week of events ( lets say 1 event per week even though that is not even the case I think) and the money gained from hauling in that time can differ. On the long run only relying on data when you need money is just silly.
Now what do I do? Spend 1 hours once a week or trade dring ore like crazy for days for the same amount of money? It is objectively imbalanced, but if you don't have problems with it, it's fine.
You spend the hour online to be one of 30 people Spamming the tractorbeam to maybe get what I worked for. This is like gambling basically, isn't it? You have the Chance to make a Ton of credits with no effort, or you get nothing at all. Or you work hard and spend time earning your credits, which you will receice 100% of the time.
Fisrt of all, easy for numbers (30), second of all, I always left from those events with full cargo somehow. I visited like 3 or 4 events in general.
You can't take yourself as a single individual to show how imbalanced the System is. Very few people get stuff in these events, and those are lucky. I do get what you are saying, and I would agree if more people could make money like that while others can't, but with the 'low' amount of data on the server compared to the people who play the game or Participate in the events I think it is fair to say that Data is the smallest Problem of the economy. They Cost 5mil a unit, and it is fair like that in my eyes. ( I have bought los of Scidata for 5mil because it is something that I find worth grinding for)
Those events and your rewards are based on multiple factors like other people,ping, and luck in general. The Traditional ways of making money dont require anything but time. If you find grinding boring then Participate in events, sure, but it will never be as effecient as hauling or Missions or w/e to get what you need.
Last words are for fools who have not yet said enough.
