EVE General Discussion

So people with all these people now running incursions (this is not a nerf incursions thread! I thinkthey are great getting people to fly together and be social) there are deff less people running missions and mining.

this means there is less loot being refined, and less ore being refined,

So there you have it people, my theory on the rising prices, get your lvl4 mission ships together and start reaping the profit! dust off them orcas...

rejoice the golden age of selling minerals!

Zydrine has dropped I agree but there are several other minerals that are rising slowly. im assuming this must be reduced supply compared to increased demand.....

but then assumption is the mother of all......

The beauty of Tech 1 forecasting is, it doesn't have moon goo or Intact armor plate bottle necking in the production.

If people are using minerals off the market to produce, they use them in compareable volumes. Supply is there if demand is.
Right now the demand isn't there. Thats the trouble.

Last reply unless a direct question is asked but your optimism isn't to be wasted. There is some opportunity in the current state of the market and manufacturing of EVE. I will leave it to you to find those opportunities though as that's what makes it all a game.

GL in that. (genuine GL)

There are definitely a few,

And Thanks :D

Dear sweet pubbie. Your tears are like life sustaining nectar to those who kill you. I would like to say that you are dumb, but I know that it's not really your fault that you're like this.

If left to their own devices a player usually does that which is familiar to them. The game starts by giving you an Ibis with a mining laser and a civilian railgun fitted, and tells you to go mine rocks and shoot red crosses. The player will follow the nice tutorial lady's advice and go shoot rocks and red crosses... and that's basically all they'll ever do. They'll learn all about shooting rocks and red crosses, they put rat damage types in their character bio, maybe they'll cooperate with other players up to the point where they skilled and equipped well enough to do things on their own, because nobody wants to split the profits. If you need help you'll just get another account.

So you end up with this huge group of players who are effectively playing Eve as a single player game, with no real interaction with other players. Then one day, another player interacts with them, hard. They lose their hulk or their CNR, and they're shocked because the game has done nothing to prepare them for this experience. You think that your assailent is in the wrong, that he is a griefer. You rage in local and petition CCP to get your stuff back only to find that all is as intended.

It's not your fault you don't know any better, it's Eve's fault for not educating you on the nature of the game, and for leading you into a career of high-sec mining in the first place. You have my pity.

Losing my mission running Dominix to Low-Sec gankers was the best thing that could have happened to me.

It turns out, there's other people that also play this game. And they can interact with me as much as they want. And they mostly use guns to interact with others.

I know. Completely blew my mind at the time.

but yet without the people mining and making ships with industrial alts none of that stuff would have ever happend.....

not going against either point but your both right...

Considering all the Exhumer/mining barge murdering that goes for months now and looking at your numbers I'd say that your alliances bots have far too much stock to inject at jita.

Because just face it for once, missioners and high sec miners being responsible for those prices? -c'mon.

Be serious for a second, pick any cloacky ship you can fly and make dozens or hundreds of null sec belts/sites/incursions to see they don't even care to salvage or loot, even battle fights most don't even care to salvage/loot any more and then you think about those dozens billions right there in front of you no one picks and posts like yours on this forum.

Playing the game any f*cking way you want, that is how its intended.

One thing you can't do, is at least respect how another player plays their game.

Seems its ok to call people pubbie (used as a derogatory word to someone that isn't in your clique), but I bet you wouldn't use racial slurs in the presence of your boss who was of another color.

Seems it ok to blast other people's hulks, but I know you wouldn't walk up to some other random person on the street and just smack them in the head then laugh at their reaction (cause you wouldn't do that in real life amirite? Just slapping someone could be cause for assault )

Seems its ok to steal money and assests, but in real life you wouldn't really steal from your company or bust into your neighbors house to steal their flat screen (if your not firing off knuckle children in the privacy of your neighbor's house while watching something on that flat screen )

You can only do those aspects in EVE, because you can get away with it and it is a form of self empowerment: I can do anything to you, therefore I am better then you

So, tl;dr aspect is you can play the damn game any way you want and thats how its intended.

I don't play the game how you play, but somethings I learned quickly is to be derogartory to some dreddit loudmouth like yourself brings a shitstorm down on them. Blowing up hulks is like blowing up level 4 battle ships, cause hulks die just as easily and I don't need some KM to prove I am better. I don't need to steal assets, because I make enough to suit my needs and because trust has zero value there is no way in hell I am going to trust another player in EVE (if someone wants to play the "rouge rogue" bad ass you are going to have to try way f*cking harder to get to know me then steal my stuff other then fishing local crap-contracts and calling yourself a scammer - BTW at least RL scammers made REAL money instead of fake virtual currency )
