How about destroying market mineral price ? let say half year withaut seling minerals-ore and producing ships? prices of mienral may jump very high after big period of time, we all know those people who suicide love to suicide and pvp, but for pvp they need ships, so stop seling own ore, bump by this way mineral price let them pay for battleships like 250-300mil isk per battleship if they want pew pew, or 3-4mil isk per destroyer, or force them to grind 3 day mission to get some amonut of mineral needed to produce own pvp ships.

Why? because meny of you only cry about suicide ganks etc, maybe you need revnage ? Those suicide gankers destroying your ships and abbility to earn money so do same to them, and stop cry, let them cry and whine about mineral and ships price


It's not gonna work mainly because the New Eden economy is designed to stabilize itself as a result of the players' self interests. It's what macroeconomics refers to as the "invisible hand" phenomenon which was thought up by the father of modern economics known as Adam Smith in his 1776 book titled "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations".

And besides, who is to say that all high-sec suicide gankers are strictly pvpers? Some of them are dedicated miners who are intent on driving up the prices so that they can profit. Also, once the mining profession becomes more profitable than mission running or doing incursions or going into battle players will flock to the mining profession to take advantage of the new profit potential. And yes, people will be more than willing to mine in a battleship if they have to. It's not like it hasn't been done before.

Even if prices were to somehow skyrocket, the self interests of the players will ensure that those prices will stabilize later on.

I don't think he understands the words you guys are using.

His replies seem to be repeating the same point as if we haven't understood his grand plan for a brave new world.

It's never a wise idea to poop in the plate from which you eat.

Good luck - you'll need it.


Seriously, affecting the market would require shutting down, not just killing, but convincing them to give up, 1000s of miners.

Forcing one shutdown can be difficult if the miner is smart, forcing 1000s would be very hard and would have to get into hardcore stalking.

Oh, you guys...

You are really trying hard to convince me to make a mining alt, aren't you? That's cute.
