EVE General Discussion

thought the blog said incursions, http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=28587 vanguard sites were being reduced by 10%... did i miss the blog saying all bounties were being reduced?

Hello Mr. Coward NPC Alt, you do realise that CCP, ultimately, has the final reins on the EVE economy - and the OP does indeed touch on a real problem, namely the huge increase in the money supply that was partially but not exclusively caused by Incursions?

Seems like the IMF finally get to jita


Next step ccp increases the trading taxes for more tears

This is the great mineral crunch of 2012©.

We should party hard.

Absolutely. Blue pills for everyone.


And for and you market trolls put a bit of effort in. There are plenty of items falling in price, use your brain and a bit of intuition and stop spamming drake and 1400mm sales.

Music to my ears, a true concerto.

and to all who say its speculation not inflation...

when the crop price goes up by 100% the poor people dont care about whether they starve because of speculation or inflation they just starve...

ELECT RON PAUL!

Yes you did miss it because it aint in the DEV blogs just mentioned in a interview with CCP Soundwave & Ten Ton Hammer interview that he's prepared to do it in a reactive mode. He said he may do the bounty nerf later in the year but I expect he'll have of move it up if things continue as they are & there is no bubble burst ( if there really is a bubble the jury is out on that )

IN THE LONG RUN:
1) Mission runners are relatively unaffected, as mission running ships are capital assets. New players might have to wait longer before they can buy their level 4 mission running battleship, but once the ship is purchased and fit their only expenditure really is ammunition.

2) As prices increase, smaller and cheaper T1 ships gain a comparative advantage over more expensive large T1 ships or expensive T2 ships. This makes new players more competitive in PvP which can only be a good thing, IMO.

3) Suicide ganking will become more expensive, which will make mining more attractive. This won't stop suicide ganking campaigns which are sponsored by large 0.0 alliances with a strong logistics/industrial backbone (and not to mention technetium moons).

4) Players involved in "material creation" gain a competitive advantage over middle men (such as myself) who buy raw materials and process them into consumer goods. This is because rising prices generally squeeze profit margins. The "material creation" activities which are going to become more competitive are:
1) Mining
2) Moon mining
3) PI P1 production
4) Gas mining
5) Salvaging
6) Sleepers
7) Ratting for faction/officer/complex items
8) LP harvesting
9) Datacore harvesting
10) Archeology/hacking
11) COSMOS missions (lol)
