It's getting silly. When are CCP going to do something about this?

Never. Go ease your pain and/or show your displeasure by unsubbing after biomassing and shooting helpless monuments in protest.

Seeing as you will no longer be needing it, Your stuff, can I have it?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

CCP SHould just go ahead and put price caps on the market. Just make it so it is not possible to sell certain items above a certain price.

That should fix everything, yeah?

FC, what do?

I rate this .2 out of 10. Not creative, original, nor even funny the 1st 23 times we seen this same sad attempt at humor. Go back and try again, I really think you are much better then this, with some hard thought, creative thinking, you can easily make your next attempt at least 6!!


You can do it, you you can do it!

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

I blame Goons.

No, seriously. You know how many minerals it takes to build a freighter?

From one miner to another...

PLEASE NO! Miners are finally getting their revenge for many years' worth of crappy income! Big smile

If you don't like the status quo, get in a barge and start busting rocks. The more minerals on the market, the more prices will come down. If you think mining is too boring to bother with...well, HTFU and pay market prices for them.

Which is not to say that there aren't some problems with the distribution of minerals right now (see this thread). However, most of the "problem" is simply that demand is outstripping supply, hence prices are up. The way to fix that is to increase supply, which means getting more players to run lasers on rocks.

This is not a thing. If you wish to have a discussion on such matters, please do so, but perhaps some content might help to spark a proper conversation. As always, please try and post sensibly in future. Thread locked - ISD Type40.
