So with the changes made with system cost index, I would expect price of goods to increase; and some manufacturers will not tolerate the increase & stop manufacturing all together, which will cause prices to go up even higher. Oh sure, those upper 1% will hardly be affected, large corp won't take a hit too much, but small - medium gangs and soloers will take the second biggest hit. But those newbies joining the game, you won't be able to afford to make your own stuff let alone buy your own stuff within a week when prices double, triple, and quadruple due to the ridiculous cost to manufacture now. Not costs made by players, not economic issues due to various circumstances, but costs generated out of the buttts of Icelanders. I guess this is CCP's way of combating the PLEX price increase, create an isk sink. But it will cause more casuals to leave, less new people to join, and the old bittervets have enough isk to get around the sink. Yes, I may very well have just become a bittervet. I guess it's time to see how many ships I can explode, with what little money I have left, over the next 2 weeks. Yeah, I am a bit peaved at a video game. I guess that is even more ridiculous. |

The costs have gone up for everyone. If the cost go up for everyone then margins will be maintained.

Ah but remember; Minerals were free and installation costs used to be insignificant, so output was 99% profit.
Now installation fees eat into that 99% profit considerably.
WHAAAAAAA!!!
Oh wait, it never was 99% profit. Most of the time just selling the minerals would give better results :)

Price will increase mostly for big stuff, like capitals. Newbees do not fly capitals. I doubt, that small things will become too much more expensive, espesially since newbees can fly meta fitted ships, and meta modules are not manufactured.
For example, installation costs for small ammo on the station I am was 333 ISK pre-patch. Now it is less, then 100 ISK.
So expensive things will become much more expensive, cheap things will not be affected that much, IMHO. Especially after indy players will learn how to use teams and indy "landscape" (CCP wet dreams) will get formed.
