EVE General Discussion

Fail.

Yes leave incursion as it is and nerf more income from ratting hahahahahaha

Why would you raise taxes? that will ONLY affect traders and manufacturers.

Lowering the amount of ISK injected into economy however will affect EVERYBODY since less ISK injected means less can be spent on covering the margins so the prices will naturally fall.

Please don't once again favor one group of the players over the others.

Before you do anything which will get the CSM screaming. You need to look at the situation of nullsec botting. In my opinion.


I think you can lay most of the so called 1% Inflation on bots pounding 23/7 behind blue walls. You need to find a way to reward players who are willing to report blue bots and punish those who say to their members not to report. Right now it's too easy for these idiots to say "Its for teh ship replacement fund" like it is justification for not reporting.

…except that three times higher is not “astronomical” and that the inflation existed before incursions. So guess what happens when incursions are piled on top of it all?

Except that "some" people fail to realize in this very same topic CCP said Incursions arent the problem.



Should I quote CCP about Incursions again? They aren't the issue here.

Fun is another.

You can quote it as much as you like. It doesn't change that what you said was spectacularly wrong.

Oh, nad incursions most certainly are an issue, since they are a significant ISK faucet that contributes to that inflation.

As luck would have it, we do know that. Even if we assume that the highsec incursions are run at max efficiency, there's still roughly twice as much in untapped incursion income waiting in the system…

If you want to stop inflation, you need to let inflation run its course in some sectors of the economy, the systemic imbalances are what need fixing. Make the use of ISK faucets more expensive in terms of materials consumed, and do it in a way that doesn't freak out carebears and lead to mass whines by blowing up ships from overly aggressive NPCs. One of the best ways I have seen suggested is material consumption via active modules, and that may help balance out some of the PVP issues as well.

Activities that do not create ISK from the faucets need a bump, but this does not mean allow some player to create more trit or moon goo. Stop dropping loot that can be refined, (drone poo change is a good start, adding ISK to drones however is a half step back but an easy fix so understandable). Create consumable goods, increase the mineral requirements of ammo, add some PI into ship building, lower end moon goo, add fuel to ABs and MWDs, charges for shied boosters and armour reps, multi-tier T1 production like T2 uses, etc. Increase consumption of raw materials by means other than just ships blowing up.

There is a significant portion of the player base that never goes out to PVP - this means they are not blowing things up. Eve's economy works because, in Eve, the Broken Window Fallacy, is not a fallacy, but that is true only up to a point. Not enough windows are breaking and all attempts at getting people to break more windows has failed, because for many individuals, not having windows broken on your own house is good thing. So ... if we can't get more windows to break, use more coal in the fire when making the glass.

The value in terms of time, of activities that are not sucking at the giant ISK tit, need to increase. The most useful sinks you could increase are material sinks.

Slowing down how much ISK enters the economy, will not fix the imbalances. All it will do is concentrate wealth in the hands of those who already have massive reserves. Increasing this sink or that sink will only push people away from those activities and create further imbalances in the economy.

You being the chief among them… if you can't argue the issues being presented, just pipe down.

You'd think they wouldn't have to rely on player-provided data to make the point, then, wouldn't you?

Well as stated they fail on arithmetics or have some super secret data that makes current calculations obsolete.
