Market Discussions

Years back years, I went over to a friends house, 2005-2006 and I remember watching him play this eve online.

I told him how much his game sucked and why he should play the one im playing, and vice versa.

Somewhere along the lines as I watched some ship seemingly warp off some where, he was explaining that he wanted some minerals and he was warping to where there are less people destroying the belts.

then he finished mining docked up and showed me some crazy stockpile of different minerals and items a few BPC's and what he seemed to really fancy was a BPC of some Caldari ship, which he said he bought really cheep and couldn't wait to finally gather enough minerals to build.

I asked him , how long have you bin mining to get enough minerals, He said 2 and a half weeks.


The point is, that's how it should be, people should anticipate such events as BIG, Building your first Battleship, getting into your first cruiser, people have lost sight of small joys of eve.

Never the less, when the prices EVEN out, the mining profession stands a very good chance of actually becoming a profession, even thought 97% of people simply hate mining, the other 3-6% just cant wait to get rich doing what they love!.

as mineral prices go up, people will be more careful with their ships, they will think 3 times before gonking some newbie, or declaring war on some infantile new corporation, these changes are welcome.

The prices thought, are indeed growing a bit to fast for most people to adapt to, and mission rewards appear to have bin left in the dust, interesting how this is going to play out, I have a feeling CCP has some kind of a big plan in the making.

As for the people who are complaining, well, perhaps now is an excellent time to get a foot in the manufacturing buisness you always had in the back of your mind.
