EVE General Discussion

Prices won't drop at all since null bears won't have their alts in HS mining them. Supply will go down, but the demand will also go down since Null will no longer need to use our ores.

What is really going to be ****** up from all of this is high end ore prices. I believe null will no longer be bringing them up to HS since they will be completely self sufficient from an industrial point of view.


HUGE mistake by CCP. huge.

Being unbro-like is definitely a compliment from my POV.


Let me see if I have Basil's arguments in tl'dr version here:

1. Highsec mining will die, if you even think about mining in highsec the EVE client will close itself automatically, using thought electrodes implanted into your brain, to prevent IRL casualties caused by boredom and low ISK/hour returns.
2. There will be so much competition in highsec mining that ice asteroids will literally be exhausted 28 minutes before they appear onscreen, existing in the intervening period as some kind of quantum paradox.

My spidey-sense is tingling, as if the concatenation of points 1 and 2 produces some kind of contradiction, but I can't piece together exactly what it is. Something to do with massive locust hordes of highsec miners not being consistent with highsec mining being a completely dead and abandoned profession, perhaps? Ah, but the truth appears in a synthesis of points 1 and 2: instead of one person controlling 100 accounts on 3-4 computers, the new highsec mining will be done by 100 accounts controlled by 50 zombies on 50 computers, raised from the dead via knowledge buried in a forbidden skillbook stashed in Jovian space. When he says hisec mining will be dead, he's being metaphorical, he really means 'undead'. The new order will abandon bumping, in favor of holy water sprinkling, and ganking will be performed by a crack team of Dominicans flown in from the Vatican.

This really went far enough.

I must ask all gankers and bumpers to combine to one gigantic force
to get rid of *all* miners once and for all.

Then we can monopolize highsec mining by allowing only alts to mine and dictate prices as we please.

(hahahahahahahaha, wishfull thinking)

So people would have to leave highsec every once in a while, this is progress

if i mine one large grav site in null. and use all the megacyte to make rokhs, i need 32 grav sites worth of tritanium. that means i either export 31 grav site's worth of megacyte, or import 31 grav sites of trit.

null sec will still use high sec, just less.

Let me point out that you predicted that supply(of highsec ore) was going to drop to ZERO, and that it's impossible for demand to drop harder than that.

Oh right, zombie hordes, forgot.

Assuming leaving hisec is an option for many players.
No it's not.

yes it is, the gates are open.

Well, if you don't care, you could as well declare support !

good job it's open on both sides, then.
