EVE General Discussion

Yeah mine are, but I'm not the fool crying for people to stay on topic while posting off topic at the same time.

People can post how they like. If the ISDs or CCP staff don't like it, they'll sort it out. No one is really going to pay much attention to anything you request of them,

How is accepting the plain reality of a situation "indoctrination"?

Teaching players the Golden Rules is indoctrination.
Teaching a student the scientific method is indoctrination.

You have the false premise that indoctrination could not involve being taught to understand/accept the plain reality of a system.

You dun goofed again, Jenn.

I understand that English isn't your 1st language so you might not get what's being wrote, but the way the word was used was with a negative inflection.

Funny thing is there is a guy at my job who is from South America and does the same thing, and like you we've had to explain that real language use doesn't follow strict dictionary guidelines.

"Indoctrination" as a term, carries no "negative inflections" (whatever the """" you think that means).

Sorry, SJennaW.
You cant pervert language here without being called on it.

The term doesn't mean what you have been "indoctrinated" to think it means.

Im totally ok with NS rules in Jita.
Jita must die.

Jita/Forge is a cancerous tumor made possible by bad mechanics perpetuated throughout EVE for years.

It should not exist. Every yesr, NPC Jita grows more prominent.
Its an abomination and a drain on content/dynamics both economic and PvP throughout EVE.

DEATH TO JITA!

I already agreed to that.

Isk sinks are bad. Better to funnel those funds into player entities such as by Upwell structures replacing NPC sinks into player pockets instead..

But.
Thats not what I asked you.

You have claimed the EVE isk economy is deflating.

Explain now then why that is occurring.

What is causing deflation in EVE?

There are underlying causes.
Material transport, especially past LS, is too safe.
JFs make a mockery of LS transit between HS and NS.

The figures for Jita trade volume completely eclipse anywhere else, and its a goddam NPC system.

Mark my words, Jita is one of the causes for "EVE dying".

As related to topic, goddam the amount of isk sink in Jita alone for fees.

Centralized markeds don't create deflation in general. If you take away centralized market s you end up with an economic situation that has more regional variance on what the prices are of different things in different places... but it has little net impact on on totals. The supply is the same... the demand is the same. It's just the points of sale are not centralized. In the areas where the demand is high and/or the supply is low... prices rise. If the demand in another place is low and/or the supply is high... prices drop.

If products are destroyed (not confiscated, but in fact destroyed) in great numbers on the way to a central market but players do NOT react by spreading to diversified markets.... then you could see a supply impact. But I think you would agree that if hauling were to become less safe the markets would spread out instead of being centered in a few places. This could get rid of Jita... but it wouldn't impact inflation/deflation in a significant way (assuming that deflation is the underlying cause you're referring to).

ISK sinks in and of themselves aren't bad. And for what is causing it, my last post gave some possibilities as to why we are seeing prices trending down. Another factor could be reduction to barriers to certain production such as the change to station slots for copying, manufacturing, inventing, etc. That removed many barriers just by itself. Before to do invention having a POS was quite common, but to have a POS in those days you had to have standings and the POS fuels. With unlimited slots the role of the POS was greatly reduced for much of invention. Basically, there is an imbalance between the real sector of the economy and the money supply.
