You really do not have to be a Harvard Economic professor to be able to construct the mechanics of market speculation. All you need is a 10 grade economics class, a **** load of influence and a small interest. The capital income gains that the goons are experiencing is significant enough to pay the small amount of return on ships. Its pretty amazing that this game has the mechanics for something like this. This is why I play eve, it creates content from players, and makes corporations like goonswarm almost as part of the game as the ships themselves.

He'll just write some version of a memoir or autobiography. Or something that has enough opinions and anecdotes that it might as well be. Just trust me on this.

Technetium.

That's kinda permanently propped up. When the Drone Russians took a load of Tech moons earlier this year and started selling it fast there was something of a panic among the usual Tech Cartel suspects. PL recently claimed to have a new cartel sewn up on Kugu but that's probably just hot air.

In any event at this point so much Tech is owned by speculators that even if all the moon mines grind to a halt through lack of oxytopes the price may be more determined by what the speculators want to offload for than by actual production. It wouldn't surprise me if there were fifty years worth of technetium in stockpiles around New Eden.

This whole thing happened because grinding is boring.


FYP!

Any MMORPG suffers the same fate. EVE is no different.

No one in EVE wants to grind level 4 missions for ISK or standings, grind (whatever) to raise an index in 0.0, or grind anything else. Just like no one wants to grind the same boss in WoW hoping for that one unique item to drop.

As much as I hate to say it, EVE has become WoW in space!


You can say it's like WoW all you want, but that won't prevent large-scale operations from affecting the entire economy. You can't get this stuff anywhere else on the internet.

white noise needed someone to explain "hey, don't put your month's supply of tech on the market at once in a single order", then tech recovered

As above, its one of the things that makes Eve so unique.

Looking like the price is dipping on oxygen as Goonies shift to Caldari space instead for richer pickings now they've scared people out of the Gallente high sec.

There has been no 'shift to Caldari space', apart from mittens taking a roadtrip and podding randoms in Jita.

Nice try though.

Let me understand what is happening here.

Goons are projecting power into highsec by destroying miners in blue ice belts (Gallente space)

By doing so they are increasing the value of a commodity over which they exert a certain level of control (nullsec blue ice belts)

In so doing they are providing an empirical demonstration that there is, in fact, no reason to remove ice belts from highsec as they are actually a means to increase strife and conflict, and they can actually be controlled by a small group of dedicated players.

My irony sensor just overloaded and died on me. I need to get an upgrade. Lol

controlling the nullsec blue ice belts just makes it easier to ensure those aren't used either

Pretty smart, will Goonies be publishing what they make on it on the markets at the end when they finish having fun with Oxygens Isos?

Which is irrelevant to as it in no way prevents you from benefiting from the situation nor detract from the fact that you are by your actions making a great case for why ice belts need not be removed from high sec.

Good job on killing them bots though. Don't like bots.
