Why is there a total mining value by region but no total bounty value by region breakdown?

Hey, CCP Quant, did that mining drone logging thing mentioned on the first image in the devblog get fixed, or is it still outstanding? Did it affect the total mining amount by region graph too?

Has there been any concern about the faucet/sink ratios? It would see we have been seeing more isk come into the economy lately, but if you were to add the "faucets" that are now going to player (brokers fees, jumps clones, etc.) the difference is a little better.

It seems since CCP has turned many sinks into simply player-to-player transfers, we are heading toward inflation if this trend continues. It would probably become more significant once more people get indy arrays up and all those sinks go to players.

Heck, could you just let us know that you feel comfortable with how the economy is progressing or that you are keeping on eye on things lol?

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Well, just looking at the graphs... on the faucet side... incursion payouts are fairly stable for the past few years (weird spike at March 2016 but was temporary... I don't remember anything special happening then except the lead up to the carrier/fax capital changes and all pre-citadel).... bounties, OTOH, are up and up and up all 2016 long.

But transaction taxes and broker fees are up and up and up on the sink side as well. Things seem fairly in balance. Citadels took some ISK out of the game as well, with people wanting their shiny new toys. ECs and the new mining platform things... the same, but to a lesser level.

March Spike should be Drifter Incursions, which were bugged and got exploited badly for ludicrous payouts for a few weeks.
Bounties are Null carrier ratting being hugely buffed with the Carrier changes.

ok, I know I sounds like a broken record on this but the Trade data released still looks too low:

The really simple explanation for this becomes apparent when i compare the Trade data to the Transaction Tax data. As a reminder, every sale that is made on the market attracts a Transaction Tax of anywhere between 1.0% (Accounting Skill Level V) to 2.0% (no Accounting Skill).

Now, i would expect the Transaction Tax divided by the Trade data to be 1.0% because the vast majority of all Trade will be done by characters with Level V Accounting.

And indeed in February, March and April the Transaction Tax divided by the Trade data was 1.00%.

But then along came Citadels and the Transaction Tax divided by the Trade data rose at first to 1.31% and in November is now 1.69%.

That suggests to me that either the Transaction Tax data is too high or the Trade data is too low. Given the divergence happened once Citadels were released then I am assuming the issue is the Trade Data and indeed my workings show that instead of Trade being 596 trillion in November (vs 977 trillion in February) it was actually 1,006 trillion which is much closer to what was achieved in February.

My blog post has the table of numbers that show this really clearly - http://marketsforisk.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/eve-economic-data-is-trade-data.html

Or what am I missing?

Good point, I'll add a bounty by region graph to the next release!

It affects the total mining in that mining volume by drones is partially reported at best. Still not fixed because of development priorities

If you look at the isk float graph you can see that if anything we're doing better this year than any year before. This is mainly because of the citadel launch (tax changes, structure bpos seeded, etc.). Although bounties have been steadily increasing (and we're following that closely), then the sinks have been high enough to counter it so far.

I've considered adding a top trade hub list to the report, now the player-run tradehub in perimeter has surpassed Amarr and is in 2nd place after Jita 4-4

Market: markets currently have two taxes, transaction's tax, applied for sold items, and broker's fee for non immediate orders, which are set at 1.5% and 1% respectively. To create an environment more competitive for Citadels, we plan on increasing the transaction tax to 2.5% and the broker's fee to 5-6%. Players trading in citadels will still receive the transaction tax, but the broker's fee will be at the complete discretion of the owner. To avoid confusion for the owner, the broker relations skill will not affect player set broker's fee in Citadels.


The following graph in the report shows the effect: Top sinks and faucets over time

Kind of off topic, but in regards to the Wealth Distribution graph you posted on Twitter.

What's the median wallet size in each of those brackets?

I know some time ago you published a figure showing total value of goods in EVE. This obviously was based on CCP's valuation which may not match current market, but is related I believe? Would it be possible to get that added to the 'total isk supply' graph, or a similar graph showing total goods value?

Additionally can we get a historical set of these graphs, as I'm curious how the isk distribution of EVE has changed over the years.

But on one of the support pages it states that the Transaction Tax has remained at 1.0% for Accounting Level 5 and that is confirmed by my characters who can all still get 1.00% Transaction Tax in NPC stations and Citadels.


The following graph that you cite is compelling:Top sinks and faucets over time[/quote] though recall that in February / March / April the Transaction Tax divided by Trade was still 1.00%, as expected. Since then, on this graph, there has been not notable shift in the Transaction Tax line through the summer and autumn or any sort of step that would indicate a sudden change in the Transaction Tax rate.

Also, surely Trade by now would be back or close to February levels? On your data it is still about 39% below. However, if we assume the Transaction Tax rate is actually 1.00% of Trade (because the main traders have Accounting Level 5) then the actual Trade is at the same level as February.
