There is nothing wrong with the economy. Everything is working as intended as evidenced by lots of cheap ships and mods and plenty of money to buy them with.

Economy is working fine. Are you sure you are working fine?

It'll be interesting to see where the prices will be when Incursions get a decrease, bounties are "normalized", drones have bounties, and the bots get the boot.

I wish mining was more fun though Sad.

You just want to go back to the days when only the 1% had battleships. That would ruin nullsec by removing hellcat fleets. Stealth 0.0 nerf.

I would be lying if I said that I did not miss that "oh ahhh" experience seeing a battleship for the first time...

Also I'm happy to see Zyd prices going back to their old days value, and I'm not saying that just because I have a big pile to sell when the price is right Lol

When you mine it with a dread.

If you take all the sand out of the box, only the cat poo will remain.

Sharp rise in mineral prices before it balances out as more people turn to mining as a viable profession iskwise and supply comes back Roll

That would only have been maybe the first half year of EVE and isn't that much different then how titans now (though Titans shouldn't be combat ships, but more like mobile stations).

i guess im happy whit the economy if we manage to keep the "ooh ahh" effect of titans, but think they have started to lose that effect as well.

Everyone seems to want to suggest that the solution to the eve inflation is to reduce the money supply...

There is a second option that occurs to me that could 'cool' things down a bit... increase the mineral supply.

increase all mining and refining yields by 10% for a little while and observe the effect. That way you're not intentionally screwing mission runners and ratters it seems... in fact, increasing the mineral supply might just help everyone. Miners, mission runners, pvp'rs, incursion runners. All the sudden, your money buys 10% more stuff. Things get cheaper and no one suffers.

Just a thought.

In my opinion, the best way to increase mineral supply is to actually make the activity itself enjoyable, but for the life of me I have no idea how it could be done to not effect miners who currently enjoy the system we have.

Anotherway to increase materials is to allow moon goo production in wormholes to pop up along with ring mining. I'd also love to see sleeper incursions into null,lo & hi sec so we'd get a crack at our own nano ribbons salvage in other spaces as well

I'm happy the market is in an uptrend. Makes my meager stocks of stuff more valuable!

Yeah would be nice for losses to actually mean something again, and yeah guess you'd have to think of a different strategy instead of everybody shoot him.... now everyone shoot him... now everyone shoot him

The economy is working fine is neither an economy nor a working fine.
