all skill books should cost 25k.

500 million isk for a racial carrier skill book for example. Rather see those funds goto player driven economy instead.

This might be inflated by the FAX books selling at the announcement for which the plan was changed after people bought them tho.

Rather see a more passive ISK sink then just outright buggery. Isnt that what tax is for?

best method for fighting in game currency inflation rates is to provide more player driven content.

The most "player driven" content in the game is a faucet.

Just sayin'.

If you are going to set the cost of skill books at something as trivial as 25k, they might as well be free. Having high costs for certain skill books is a good thing as it gives you a goal. It is a barrier for you to overcome. It requires you to plan and prioritize. All of these are meaningful decisions.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

If you wanted to mix it up you could add them to the logic LP-Stores.
I don't see how this change would positively affect things, though.

I'm having a hard time thinking of any player driven content that's an isk sink, except maybe taxes from the market, and those are already getting raised.

This is a signature.

It has a 25m signature.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

Probably.

Btw my corp's recruiting.
