…and I think that pretty much covers it, although I might have missed something. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Originally by: Daphne Mezereum How does non-NPC trade remove ISK from the overall ISK volume of EVE? Trade is only a duct between two containers of ISK, not a sink on one of them. Or I might be dead wrong.
Fees and taxes. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Originally by: Cibo Seidensha With mining (and bpos) you can create ships, which you can insure, which then gives you +ISK on destruction. Same can be said for rat loot once you reprocess it. So they both do inject ISK into the economy.
No, that's still the insurance mechanism that does the injection (or, technically, conversion from item to ISK).
Mining and looting inject things that could potentially be used to create ISK, but they don't create any ISK in and of themselves. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Originally by: Cibo Seidensha The question is, if mining injects ISK into the economy.
And the answer is: it doesn't. When you mine, your wallet does not change. No ISK appears. Instead, you get ore. What you do with that ore is a different matter, and it may or may not end up with you making ISK appear. You can sit and mine your entire career and never see any ISK as a result, because mining does not generate ISK – it generates items that through a number of completely different mechanism can be used to create ISK. It's those other mechanisms that are the faucets (and sinks) of ISK – not mining.
Quote: There is a direct connection from mined material to ISK over the insurance mechanism.
…in the same way that there is a direct connection from the mined material to the ISK over the mission running mechanism. Or the bounty mechanism. I.e. not a very direct direct connection at all. Again: just because you can use mining to create things that in turn create things (that in turn … etc) that create ISK doesn't mean that mining creates ISK.
The fact that you can trace the ISK payout back through these various mechanisms to get a value on that ore doesn't mean that the ore is that value in ISK – it's still just ore, still just an item, and still not an ISK faucet. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |
