Player Features and Ideas Discussion

oh **** no.

A: Use some damn formatting.

B: With minerals and ships disappearing as a main financial outlay of players, the primary things to spend money are meta/faction modules and PLEX's. This would result in hyperinflation, where the only item perceived to be of real, stable "Value" will skyrocket in price with it being the main thing people now have remaining to spend money on. All non ship prices would spike in price and continue to rise over time (assuming the playerbase stayed the same, which it wouldn't. The collapsing playerbase would actually result in a decrease in the price of plex due to much lower demand.)




Skillbooks have been increased in price, Highsec POCO tax's have been introduced, and the new LP source in nullsec are all additional isk sinks. All forms of LP, including that from Incursion, are actually a form of sink, not faucet.

This is because the conversion of LP to items requires ISK to disappear into NPC hands. No isk is created during the exchange, only lost or transferred. The more LP converted to items, the more ISK gone from the system.

In fact, as of the last economic report, it was stated that EVE was sitting at a very healthy slow rate of inflation, and that Sinks/Faucets were well balanced.

Slow is not how I would describe it. It's slow in comparison to what it was doing after Incursion, but there's still so much ISK coming in that the economy is still inflating when it's already gone so far that if anything it should probably deflate a little.

Couldn't be further from the truth. The meager amounts of CONCORD LP you get from running incursions is watered down by the insane LP costs of items in CONCORD's LP store. People run incursions for the ISK, and there's a lot of it. You get about 10 mil per Vanguard site and those can be run in under 5 minutes by an experienced group with blingy ships. My first incursion run, I brought a Navy Megathron and ran with a mediocre group that was far from the best. In a little over 3 hours we made 300 mil each. Incursion Assaults pay significantly more and can also be run in highsec. I don't know the actual amounts but from what I hear, the people who can run assaults will never bother with vanguards if they don't have to. Apparently the difference is pretty significant.

I have not bought anything from the CONCORD LP store yet. I'm not just holding out, I simply haven't scored enough CONCORD LP over all of my incursion runs (maybe 60+ sites) to actually buy anything of value. My CONCORD LP is worth nothing compared to the ISK payouts.

edit: I have 116,206 CONCORD loyalty points

MMOs havent been able to stop botting in almost 20 years. Good luck.

Know how to stop botting? Quit putting in boring and repetitive mechanics and calling it game-play.

Here's my thought on the batter.

CCP really wanted to find a place for loot spew.

This thread is further proof that TEST is only good at losing sov.

Not I havent read all the replies in this thread, but all I see when reading the OP is 'nerf HiSec',

I would be willing to bet that there are more BOT-miners in zerosec that in hisec. (Could be wrong here)

Reading is hard, writing is harder. Read the thread before spouting semi-coherent anger everywhere. Also take a min before posting so that people can read what you write without having to try and fit it together like a puzzle.

We are already well past the original terrible idea of "Get rid of highsec miners"


P.S. Saying people should mine for a plex really should be against the Geneva Convention of EVE. Yulai something or another probably.

Yeah Null ratting in Highsec! What could go possible go wrong?!
