Market Discussions

Thank you, your constructive attitude is noted.

Of course your reply takes into account the "bootstrapping" signifiance of blue loot and how it's diligent regression of value theorem application that in the beginning let minerals cost with ratios of powers of two right?




A simple EvE search would have more than replied to the question.




I make a living judging the various components of a market, it certainly means I know nada about it.
I don't put all in a "supply and demand" cauldron, because there's a lot more money to be made by splitting the components away and analyzing them.





That's not your original axiom but a reply to my statement which now you are saying it's been true twice.

As for PLEX playing an utterly major role for the players in this game, well, just look what happens when stuff happens to it. Notice the name of THIS thread? It's certainly because it matters a ton. It matters enough that it's the single CCP directly manipulated market.





Of course you dismiss when you grossly mistake a PvP game for WoW and are told so.

Your antagonistic and rude replies define you.

Since I am not going to come down in a boxing match at that level, I bid you a good night and let the other readers make their own opinion.

First thought:
If you nerf "isk faucets" by half and PLEX prices (and the whole economy) drops in half as a result, which is what it seems some think would be an improvement, that does not mean that PLEX just got cheaper by half. Unless you saved up a ton of isk and will be depleting this reserve, you will still need to spend the same amount of time to get enough isk to get PLEX as before the nerf of "isk faucets." Price of stuff drops in half but you make half as much per hour. What changed? Nothing. It is all relative.

Second thought:
If "isk faucets" generate trillions in isk day after day after day why are prices of things that are easy to get stable or going down? It is not just that it is a lot of isk being generated but this isk adds up day after day after day after being transferred from one player to another without sufficient "isk sinks" as it is claimed. Should not we have hyperinflation then?

Help me out and set me on the right track. How can all this be and prices are stable or decreasing. Prices of minerals, ships, decryptors, salvage parts, tech 2 and tech 1 mods, etc. There are some things going up in price either due to out of game reasons, like PLEX, or due to various game changes, like cost of making some tech 2 components. But manipulation or interference through game changes does not make inflation. Set me on the right track please.

Personally I think that the market is bifurcated. Things that can be done AFK are in permanent deflation, and things that are complicated/dangerous, that require human action to make, are in inflation.

Yes, you spoke out your backside, Sophistry if you prefer.
Liar, yes, you purposefully ignored the same axiom, twice.

When you commit errors, and continue to commit them, you're not an honest debator.

Deal with it.

Bite me

Arguing like this reflects badly on both of you. I know each of you thinks you're making the other look bad, but the reality is only you two are reading the posts everyone else is "yawn.. skip to next post". If you want to keep this crap up take it private.
