EVE General Discussion

Now with almighty logic of CCP by making exploration in your face super easy and super abundant how far do you think prices will crash ??

How will that influence success of an expansion.

If prices crash as you predict, then people will search alternative ways to make isk, rather than exploring. Then , the decrease of explorers will make prices rise, reaching an equilibrium state, where true explorers will succeed and make profit and ocasional hype exporers will return to mining or pve.

The REAL problem is not where you point IMHO, the problem is at the ridiculous short loot tables, I ran around 20 sites, and got lots of the same blueprints (even the faction ones that I got) and decryptors, expect those to be cheaper every day. If the loot tables are expanded, then prices wouldn´t crash , due to high diversity of goods being retrieved by exploration. The problem is really there. Every data site and relic you get the same 60-80 items.

I guess it depends on the loot changes? Making what used to be valuable by making it valuable again through scarcity? Which will require even more sites to be run to reach the value of last? Ever heard of the term dilution? Adding more loot will just make those items added less valuable. Every item added, it's value will go down. Making certain items more rare just makes farmers just have to farm more....more work less reward at that point. We were told that we should be making about what we used to make before. That lasted a few days until everyone found out how EASY it is lol and that is the problem, it's too easy for everyone, not just too easy to get into as well.

Previously, out in null, I used to have to run a site with 1 probe/hack/salvage toono and 1 good PVE fit BC or something. what was the intent with the changes here? To make people buddy up? Because that's the way the old system worked before it was changed. there is no need to buddy up now. Does CCP want to ruin game play for mulit-boxers with 5 accounts or more (like myself)?

Now you are in catch 22 loot table equilibrium / market changes balancing act. Just seems to me to be a lot of work for CCP. I'd suggest re-adding the same rats that were there before. This brings back "team play" not "solo farming".

I put a lot of though, skill training and effort as well as real life money and in game isk into being able to run these sites Pre-Oddysey. Now all that effort seems a little wasted and look at all the problems CCP is going to have work through. Ugh, what a mess

Anyone who cries about cheap decryptors needs to use them first.

They want to make ISK from their loot?
I want to actually have a snowballs chance in hell of saving ISK when I invent and produce my own ships. It doesn't work out that way though.

But, there's no expansion to be seen here, it's just an altered way of doing things the easiest
possible way.

So it is actually a contraction ...

mm.. talking about doing relic and data sites i tried it last night for first time..
i made 5mil roughly according to my cargo-bay est price in about 1 1/2 hours half that time was trying to find any sites to enter they seem to get probed and completed very fast....

I would either suggest more sites with more items per can/more valuable items or start adding some faction items in there maybe some of the more expensive meta 4 items like meta4 damage control. some mining/ice meta items are expensive.
basically meta items that are expensive that should be cheaper... maybe add some new storyline items/buff current ones so they are worth buying.

it could be like a item price control if something becomes too expensive for what it does than increase seeded amounts and lower other items that become too cheap. etc..

I'm not complaining, I used to have to risk a tengu to make 100 mill a hour, now I use a 2 mill fit heron and make double that from a decent site.

Nope, not where I am.


You should try harder.
