EVE General Discussion

I wasn't. Eve's general PvE needs a change badly, not to mention the never ending battle of faucets vs. sinks and the downfall of the industrial professions.

You guys seem to forget the drone regions, back when there was no bounty. How well did that worked?

Who cares, I play this game for spaceships, not economic hardships from gouging greedy ****s. Things will stay as they are. Deal with it.

This just shows the lack of knowledge when it comes to economics. Eve tries to mimic a RL economy, however one major fault is that in Eve money isn't based on any set value nor is it in limited supply, it comes out of no where. So as time goes on and population grows, more and more money gets seeded into the market which can and will cause hyperinflation or in actuality devaluation of goods. While their are sinks in place to remove money from the game aswell as the destruction of goods which helps remove some, however even with that the faucets out weigh the sinks heavily.

In short the current system doesn't scale well with population.



Drone regions where one of the wealthiest and productive groups when it comes to being self sustainable and production ability. The failure of drone regions was that the loot system didn't necessarily complement the industrial base as a whole, it actually destroyed one aspect of it. Not only that your talking about a single area that was a completely different concept then the rest of its peers. If the entirety of the bounty system was changed then it wouldn't be as much of a problem. Other then people complaining they have to loot stuff. If people can have a lazier way to do the same thing they will choose that, if you remove that people will adapt or quit, Eve isn't about making things easy, its more a darwinist mentality. Also to counter your argument, WHs use the same loot system and has done very well since its release.



Very narrow sighted if you can't see how the economics and all other aspects of Eve rely heavily on each other. Ignoring one aspect can greatly effect another. If you can't see why things need a change and why CCP has been slowly shifting towards this type of system anyways to reduce faucets, then you will be in for a real surprise.

it depends on what you mean by helping that market. If your talking about it from a buyers standpoint then yes. Since it will flood the market with tags making items cheaper. If your a seller then no, since it will reduce profit if you collect the tags yourself.

Adding NPC buy orders would be bad, at least from some of the original reasonings for this system. Since it still injects isk into the market out of thin air. It just creates a extra burden without actually solving the underlining problem.

That doesn't help the LP item market though as it makes LP accrue faster and thus devalues it.

Its like christmas with every rat you kill. However the discussion of loot isn't about stimulating game play, its more about curbing the trillions of isk bounties inject into the economy.

Boring people into quitting will defiantly do that.

AKA... it was carebear heaven. That's what we want? More null regions full of occators and manufacturing arrays? Where carriers are only deployed to bring BPOs from empire?

Posting again in a blatant "Play EvE my way or leave" thread.
