EVE General Discussion

Insurance payouts?

And there are two factors that combine to create inflation... supply and demand. Something that...oh... causes less boom, could also reduce inflation.

I agree with OP. High sec bounties should be eliminated. In nullsec we have sov bills to pay - this is a massive ISK sink. Where is the high sec isk sink?

Many of us do.

All you need is to remove from the game players concerned about inflation/deflation, suddenly trillions of isk would simply disappear.

Sov Bills: 809 billion / day
transaction tax and broker fees / 5 trillion a day.

Edit for clarity.

I see all this crap from ppl isk sink this nurf bountys and inflation that

boll#cks

Yea like all your guys bought all your supers running lvl 4s nothing to do with moon goo i supose ;-)

This is one of the best points about EVE, if you're unable to live as above you're more bored than the poster. In the interest of elaborating my point to avoid directly insulting you** individually I'll refer to the sandbox mechanic, the label of megalomaniac that was applied to Populous players way back when and the foundations of an "EVE is real" manifesto.

If anyone has done everything that there is to do in a freeform arena with different cultures represented everywhere they've limited what was available. I'd prefer it if 99.9 recurring % of the playerbase hadn't done everything, I'd be likely to have an experience and walk into / invite someone into an experience - indirectly. But hey it's an MMO, if it was a walkthrough 3d scroller in space.......

When Populous came out the idea was a standard format: build city from scratch, deal with surprises (baby-blap's), conduct the best visage of a city your way. As a result people adapted to the notion that their way was the best, this in turn drove social values, with the majority of 'right' ways being stratified. The term megalomaniac was used to directly address individuals who believed their own 'right way' was the limit of functionality at the upper edge of the achievable.

I understand that the posters reference to "done it all babe,..." was an experiential reference to rights of passage. EVE is a lot more diverse than it's available scripts, and the idea of bounties being cut proportionately - dependent on the location and profitability of that area - would ensure limitation in the sandbox.

Having the most ISK in-game isn't directly profitable as it's ingame. As a preparatory method making a massive amount of ISK as soon as possible is a precaution, facilitator and enabler all in one.

Personally, I've understood that null-bears pay $/£/currency for PLEX to make sweeping moves or keep ships up, others have prepared for that and farmed the ISK before hand, I've had billions, had 10's of thousands of ISK and loads of ships. The most profitable is having the £/$/currency available to make sure someone else is able to take part in a big sweeping move, at the same time I'm carrying out / taking part in / struggling to keep up with other big sweeping moves, by buying their PLEX when they need it.

Nerfing bounties would require CCP's already obtained informatics on the market, CCP's already obtained supply and demand figures etc....

It's a nice topic to discuss, but I'm still sure its a knee-jerk to the observed market more than a request to change bounties.


For example, I bought 2 PLEX at £14.99 each less discount at the website, sold them for a slightly lower than buy order rate and have subsequently bought one back off the market at the lowest rate available. CCP got an extra month of subscription (pound for pound) someone had a. tension alleviated b. higher investment in market control. I sat on some ISK, maybe walked away 10mil ISK higher than when I started, but.... someone else wanted the ISK when they sold me back a PLEX. Which I then removed from the market by putting it on my account.

**you = anyone reading it in it's entirety.

Most of our supers are privately funded actually, the alliance only picks up the cost of some of the modules.

The game is always going to have isk faucets and isk sinks. I'm going to guess that the vast majority of people throwing in their $0.02 have a knowledge of economics that encompasses how to spell the word and little else (myself included). Tossing in your idea and calling it a day is possibly helpful to the people at CCP that do know something about economics. Arguing with passion rather than sense likely isn't as helpful.

Also, I think the bikeshed should be purple.
