SO much for the excavator drones reballance, they nerfed hell out of them, said price would come down after some tweaks and the total opposite has happened and there now at 1.45b a pop.

CCP epic fail again.

If you don't think the price is reasonable, then don't use them?

CCP already reduced their yield, and increased the drop rates of the materials that were the main bottleneck for production. It's not CCP's fault that players are still willing to pay exorbitant prices for now-gimped excavators, causing Elite Drone AIs and coronary units to remain in such high demand.

One or more very wealthy persons are still hardcore manipulating the market to keep prices high. They will come down eventually once the components get sufficiently seeded on the market. At the moment they are simply rare as hell because of hoarding.

if you think the price is too high, then go hunt the components down and make your own and sell them for cheaper to force the market to fall. Otherwise.. why do you care if you are not going to use them?

And even nerfed, some people are still fine, because as the rorq needs to be on field it can at least do some mining while it waits to tractor beam in cans or run its burst. So again, you care why?

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

OP, that's not how Eve or markets work.

CCP increased supply of the materials for a new item that's already in high demand and the price of which is still very much in flux. That's not going to immediately translate into a reduction in price, and as several other people have pointed out the main driver behind the price of these things is going to be the willingness of players to sell them.

You can't even blame the Elite Drone AI. Sell orders have increased and price is dropping since the patch, so CCP's changes are having an effect, player actions are just insulating the Excavator market from it.

Clearly players are still buying or the price would be dropping. In fact supply on the market seems to be staying fairly steady or dropping based on eve-markets' data, so if you want to make a killing then go get some BPCs and start making drones.

The only reason those drones has that price, is due to a wealthy welsh sheephurdler bought up everything With the intent to push the prices up.

I would do it too if i had the oppurtunity, so stop crying to CCP, cuz they couldnt give a damn about it!

So I'm going to reiterate what others have said.

Player driven market.

CCP Nerfs the yield and that is the end of CCP's involvement on the matter.

The Players collect the materials and make the drones and sell them on the market.

This isn't like other MMO's where it's oh you silly devs you nerfed my wooly mammoth mount and are still charging me 50K gold.

If the drones were not worth the value they would come down, and that might still happen, let's remember they are still pretty new drones and they really dial the Roaq to 11 when mining, even with the nerf they still are monster miners.

I also agree that there is some market manipulation to keep prices high, as i'm sure folks that lived in Drone Null, farmed those AI's like crazy, and someone stockpiled tremendous amounts.

For me i'm still going to train into them before i jump into a Roaq.

Never forget that we the players drive the market in this game, CCP only seeds the Blueprints.

Wanna change the price, get into the Exacvator drone business and wreck that market like Obama wrecked Amurikka.

Fly Safe.

We need another botlord accord 2.0 to double the prices of exavactor drones so OP rages even harder.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!
