Incursion farmers are altering the market way to much. i think there should be a set amount of ships in an incursion then they will stop spawning because prices really have jumped due to this recently. over the summer the price of a plex was around 375m but recently they have become 450 - 500 mill.
The change in market really makes life hard on people who don't normally do incursions.
Such as ice miners.
anyone else out there agree with me that this should be fixed?

No. Any ISK we get from the game is essentially free - unless its bought with PLEX - and PLEX shows that everything in the game, ISK, ships, modules, decreased in value.

I know peeps were buying PLEX when it appeared for 180M. Maybe even less. But PLEX is the only thing in the game bound to RL money, and holds its value.

The prices of 425s and HML2s have remained stable. Inflation is around 1% according to CCP.

You all need to stop trying to blame ALL the problems with Eve and the markets in general on incursion runners!

Yeah, incursion farming has a lil bit to do with the market prices, but ONLY a small amount.

Hell, the Goons Ice War had more to do with the f**king up the markets than anything else (POS and CAP Ship FUELS), which was Mittani's whole point in doin it (to f**k up the markets, read his blog on it, if you don't believe me), and then along came the Crucibal Expansion and further f**ked it up (changes with POS FUELS, and Tier 3 BC's affecting ore prices) even more. And then you got all those players that quit before (for whatever reason) coming back after Crucible, do you think they aren't also having an effect on PLEX/Markets?!

Still don't buy it, look at PLEX price history from when Incursions were introduced. PLEX actually dropped in price after incursions came in, and then started comin back up in price over the summer, then hit OVERDRIVE when the Goons Ice War hit.

So if ya wanna blame any of this $hit on anybody, lay it on the right doorstep, and go QQ to Mittens about it, I'm sure he'll be glad to hear from you about it.....

Sorry too drunk to read replies if someone mentioned this.


So you do not think it's more feasible that PLEX is causing mass inflation?

The symptoms you list are not Incursion specific, they stem from the ever increasing ease of ISK making in general and incessant botting injecting "free" stuff into the economy.

Remove the direct ISK payout from Incursions or make it contingent on participating in the "final battle" (ie. Similar to LP pool but with separate 'trigger'), tweak LP gain upwards and improve items available in store. Reduce payout for final battle, most of the value in that should be tied into the potential drop(s) .. improve generic drop(s).

Gets rid of the immense ISK faucet that is Incursion farming while keeping it profitable through LP and encourages fighting for right to final battle .. replace Concord with faction Navy as responders to criminal activity on-grid.

Incursion farming is an issue, but not, in my honest opinion, for the reasons listed here.
