EVE General Discussion

First thing to do is be patient.

The drone region changes, the new crimewatch, the new wardec system all will contribute to the price inflation picture. The more mineral prices go up, the more people are inclined to do something other than shoot rats. Less people shooting rats means less ISK entering the system. We need to see where it shakes out instead of going into panic mode and hitting every button on the dash board in the hopes that turning on the radio will apply the brakes.

I do agree that reducing bounties is part of the solution, tighten the faucets globally, versus making the sinks larger or more of them randomly across the game just to say there are more sinks. Sinks are a "cost" to someone, people tend to avoid costs. Creating new sinks for mission runners/incursions/WH Blue-Loot would likely take the form of some new module or "stuff". This just trades one form of inflation for another, and in the end will contribute to the deflation side of the picture. So, reduction of bounties across the board will work better. Net income of ISK generation via rat destruction will decrease relative to other activities.

We also have to see more what is ahead in Dust, Dust may turn into a giant ISK vacuum for all we know.

Well said.

I Think CCP should go slow, and for another reason as well. The Titan nerf.

After the last anom change, Titan pilots learn to from the Forsaken Hub anomalies. I've see Tit pilots make 300 mil an hour doing that (one Ragnarok pilot I know was doing even better, 125 mil ticks. geez). They probably won't be able to do that after the nerf.

Bounties are individual income, unlike moon goo ect ect. Nerfing bounties might be needed, but as a null sec player I'd just like to remind CCP of what happened to null sec the last time they nerf player income with that 1st anom nerf...

Wormhole blue loot exceeded that & wormhole nano ribbons abolutlely dwarfed that.
Bounties amounted to 30 friggin' Trillion bounties before Incursions should be nerfed if you REALLY want to do jack about inflation!!!

Being a friendly gentleman from low-sec I don't really understand the concept of "making ISK" rather than continuously being broke

However

I think one thing to keep in mind when nerfing high-sec income is that, in order to fight those fancy new wardecs of yours, people will probably need moneys. Especially the more risk-adverse players that (I assume) populate high-sec will be even less willing to try out what counts as PvP over there if you take away their ISK. And I think we all (or many of us) agree that getting more people into PvP is A Good Thing(tm).

Just a thought.

low, not null

lets remove bounties completely and replace them with some sort of loot. maybe loot that can be refined into minerals. just trying to think outside the box here...

If you can make 50M isk in (insert amount of time) to buy a ship that costs 50M isk, then you get a ship.

Alternatively....

You can make 100M isk in (insert amount of time) to buy that same ship now costing 100M ISK, you still get the same ship.



It's the same damn ship, and the same amount of time.
You people are completely and hopelessly daft.

At least now we know why you as a ceo in nullsec is stuck as only a pvp corp ceo and not a part of its high command and have no access to the tech isk...

I've highlighted the points of interest for you.

Alternatively, we could switch it from ISK to raw inputs. But I see two problems with this:

1.Only Null Bears deserve access to raw inputs.

2.It doesn't punish High Sec.

So really, my idea, while it would actually work, is a non-starter from go.

And everyone knows the ral reason for inflation isn't Incursions butt the other bigger faucets. Balance the 2 bigger faucets before or at the same time as mine. Peeps been attacking my home for months I have every right to tell them the truth is really that non incursion factors spiked plex & prices more by multiple factors
