How does ISK enter the game/economy.
I'm guessing that it's via npcs but I could be wrong, if so then how does CCP control for inflation?

NPC gives liquid ISK bounties and rewards, from buying trade goods and reselling them down to Mission running and ratting in lowsec, the list is long...

There are allot of ISK sinks in the game, from Market taxes down to NPC goods trade goods.


CCP manages inflation and deflation, they have a very good team over there watching everything like a Hawk :praise:

ISK wakes up every morning at his room in the Arctic Comfort Hotel in Reykjavík and has a light breakfast in the coffee shop.
Ready to face the day, he gets a Aðalstöðin-BSH taxi over to CCP HQ.

After having another coffee with some of the Devs he makes his way through a small doorway in the back of a second floor janitorial closet and is deposited directly into the market in Jita 4-4.

Cheers C.

I´m not saying they dont, but seeing the crazy infaltion that took place in the last cple of years they havent done a very good Job.
However they increased prices for BPO`s and Skillbooks to fight inflation. Power of two is probably also meant to decrease the infation rate

You were doing so well, then you hit this one! Plex do nothing to ISK other than move it.



It also leaves via:
Insurance payments (The net is inbound though)
The LP store (when you have to pay isk as well as LP)

Woo! CSM XI!

Eh... by my calculations, plex account for about 20% of the total transaction and broker fees daily.

We're talking about 25 billion isk in transaction taxes and broker fees every day from just plex.
