EVE New Citizens Q&A

Isk supply (missions) has increased more than mineral supply.

The full answer is slightly more complicated, but not much more.

Yes but are ingame wages and fees not ment to rise with the cost of inflation in EVE ?Other wise it just puts more pressure on people to spend money on plex.

So more people are spending ISk made from running missions and less people are mining and building ?.I must be doing some thing wrong runniung throiugh L2 missions at the moment and you get nothing but peanuts even after salvage, from most of them, some l2 missions as little as 200.000 isk barely cover the cost of my ammo used )

Seems like you pay a monthly sub just to grind for hours to be able to afford things in order to play the game.As a casual player your left with no other option but to buy plex in my view.Your better off just loging in to train your skills for the fIrst 12 months of EVE in my eyes

I enjoy eve and will continue to sub because its still the best game set in space for the moment, but i realy do think its unbalanced and nothing but a grind for new players lots of risk grind and little reward ,and not to mention the advantages people get from skills for just having played the game longer and being able to afford better implants on top of that The game is all stacked against new players in my view.

Find a proper corp instead of making your own without experience, there are other ways to make ISK than missions and far more profitable but on your own you'll surely miss a lot of opportunities.

EVE is unbalanced if you play it alone, because then you're pitting yourself against everyone else and even a noob in a good corp can make more ISK than you on your own with far less skillpoints, because those players with more skillpoints and "better implants" share their experience and skills to boost their income.

And the best part of it, is that you don't even need to commit 24/7 or move to null, there's good corps in every area of the game that don't require full time commitment, so even the casual players can join, just takes some effort and common sense to avoid scams and not end up in a corp started by someone with no experience.

Lets not forget the ongoing war against ISK farming 'Mining Bots' adding to inflationary pressure.

The game is not more expensive to play. It's £9.99 a month.

Oh you're talking about pixels not money?

There is only one resource that matters, and that is your play time. Your time can be converted into ISK in a wide variety of ways. Maybe in the past you could do level 2 missions for 8 hours to earn enough ISK to buy a cruiser, whereas now it takes 16 hours. Why is that? It's because cruisers are more expensive than they used to be. Why is that? It's because the minerals used to build the cruiser are more expensive than they used to be. Why is that? It's because less people are willing to convert their time into ISK by mining. Lower supply and higher demand means higher prices.

You didn't create this thread to ask why, you created it to complain that prices are high.

If you think ships and items are over priced, you can always mine, refine, and manufacture the items yourself.

That said, a good deal of items are sold under the price of the materials used to make them.

Next to nothing?

Buff to concord making the boomarang maneuver impossible.

Buff to mining barges with baked in EHP and a special brick barge. (skiff/proc)

GSCs cannot be smartbombed and are found in most bot belts.

Actually no, the bulk of incoming ISK came from nullsec ratters, not missions.

What im saying is not one miner i know or anyone i know knows actually got ganked any extra during hulkageddon. Also really i was speaking as far as the OP was concerned, re : Inflation.

The points you bring up are fair, but don't they all actually work to reduce inflation by increasing mining?
