EVE General Discussion

Sure, but the player's wallet is not relevant for the money supply. The ISK the player lost hasn't left the system — it has only transferred to a different player.

For the economy at large, ship destruction always means more ISK is added. Since it's the money supply that is being discussed, it is a net increase. Insurance as a whole is designed to be an ISK faucet.

CCP is doing another PLEX price intervention in Jita.

Small sell orders of 2-5 plex, blocks of the same price (~764m) and with a 3-6 second time difference.


EDIT: The character that is selling the blocks of plex is "Syratus". What was the name of the dev doing this again?

Is anybody else reminded of the Monty Pyton sketch with the argument?
Customer walks into an argument store.
Customer: I would like to purchase an argument
Proprietor: Certainly, which kind of argument would you like?
...
Customer presents a social economic issue.
Proprietor: No it isn't.
Customer: Yes it is.
Proprietor: No it isn't.
Customer: This is not an argument! You are just contradicting me!
Proprietor: Yes it is.
Customer: No it isn't.
Proprietor: Yes it is.
etc...

Sadly, the EvE insurance company isn't filled with accountants whose job is to find clauses and loopholes to invalidate your claim.

Personally, I would find this more fun if this happened in EvE;

"You bumped another ship within half an hour of your accident, we have ruled you were flying without due care and attention and will not be paying your premium"

"I'm sorry, your policy only includes for destruction by Antimatter, Uranium, Iridium, and Thorium, but your ship was destroyed by Plutonium, which isn't covered under this policy".

EDIT - I could go on all day "I'm sorry, the POCO at planet 7 recorded you going over the mandated speed limit for this system, which violates the terms of your insurance with us".

As a father and family man, my time to play eve is now fairly limited to maybe a couple of hours a night playing internet spaceships when the family goes to bed. I am concerned for my ability to play as I have to spend more time earning isk to pay for gametime and less time blowing ships up.

With the rising cost of plex, I understand that it may be supergreat for all of you people with disposable income and time, but for some of us, the cost of this game is getting prohibitive.

I may have to take a break until the bubble bursts or ccp intervenes or both.

I just don't understand where this come from. Can there really be this many people so terribly bad at making isk? I visit my low sec PI opperation like once per week and that income helps smooth things over for me.

And just what ships are you using. Even badly run lvl 4 missions will give enough isk after you convert the LP (badly) to keep you in t1 cruiers and BCs.

What I htink happened is that CCP spolied people with the cheap plex, people got used to an unsustainable lifestyle, and now that that is naturally going away, they are mad because they felt entitled.

I saw it happen once in real life. I was a Detention Officer (jail guard) for a county sheriff. For years we didn't have enough jailers so overtime was abundant. One guy died from a heart attack after working a TRIPLE shift lol. The parking lot was full of nice cars and big ass pick up trucks (this is Texas lol).

Then the county government said "hey sheriff, do something about that overtime". The Sheriff's office hired a bunch of jailers and the overime oppurtunities largely went away. Shortly thereafter, legions of repo men with tow trucks invaded the parking lots lol. It got so bad the Sheriff had to post a Deputy in the parking lot to tell the repo guys that they couldn't repo on county property and would have to do it when the owner of the car wasn't at work.

Some of my fellow employees were so mad that they demanded either a raise or a return of the OT there were 'entitled' to. They never stopped to think that maybe they had been dumb to build a life around overtime in the 1st place.

you have children.
why aren't you forcing them to mine ore for you?

you're clearly not using all the tools at your disposal.

If things are so tight you can't afford to sub for less than half the price of your internet (spending your limited time in game being able to have fun), you might want to consider a single player game.

I'm not passing judgment. Just making an observation.

Mr Epeen

Bingo

I'm sure CCP will lose a lot of sleep over a non paying customer threatening to quit.

Cost prohibitive? Seriously?
