Not to be outdone, PL is firing back at the Oxygen Cartel Nyx haterz with an embargo on their tech moons.

They're horribly wrong on the number of tech moons

That, and if it isn't a troll it'll just mean more money for people who own tech moons and sell on the open market

Nicely put text to have idiot speculants falling for it and driving up the tech price to squeeze the last bit out of it before it gets nerfed to hell...

That said, this is a step that will bring considerable rewards to active participants in alliance activities, eliminate the absentee moon holders, and reduce the rest of EVE to a level of poverty that they have seldom experienced.

This is adorable.

(I love the idea of an OPEC style Tech cartel. I've said it before, I'll say it again -- Mittani's freaking brilliant.)

It should be noted that Technesium spend the better part of the last 6 months above 100k a unit, recently they have been down to almost 80k a unit, If it wasn't for it sill being massively over valued I would have bought tech on this pullback.

In non MBA speak: Tech was low and people came in at bought it at the cheapest it has been in 6 months

So a group of bored Eve players are trying to shake things up by shooting miners and another group think, wow we should get in on this publicity by not selling stuff?

Sounds completely plausible to me.

Go buy some tech, I hear CCP is fail at everything so the planned nerf is no doubt years in the making.

So let me see if I have this right:

This coming winter we are expecting two notable nerfs; 1.) Nerf to Supercaps and 2.) Nerf to Tech in T2 production.

In preparation for this, two powerblocks (who of course have a strong presence on the CSM and so would have the inside information on CCP's intentions) have decided to manipulate to market for the purpose of squeezing as much ISK out of the gullable before the whole thing bombs this winter and they are left with much devalued stockpiles.

And people are falling for this??

(Maybe someone else could remind me pf those rules against CSM "insider trading" that Mittens and co. are apparently flouting right now.)

Don't be stupid. The last CSM to do insider trading got banned and ironically it was over Tech.


Also people might want to start stocking up on stront. Prices might go up a bit.

The only good to come out of a tech nerf will be the tears from the people who thought their space was getting a buff after the new bottleneck winds up in their space and a blob of supercaps rolls through to relieve them of it.
