I would have liked a sentence on whether CCP is considering some kind of intervention (or more likely, subtle mechanics change) or not.
Yeah, i know. Silly me. ;)
It also backs up my own data on the issue. There most certainly is proper inflation on Tranquility by now. |

More fluffery on the dev blog. BIG YAWN.
Actually quite a few more numbers were released, but not centrally collected.
Example: http://conceptofprogress.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/eve-a-day-in-the-life-of-the-eve-economy/
More for those who search and look at the eve blogosphere. |

And if you mean price trends on individual items or item groups:
Those are freely available for several years for all market tradable items in most regions of eve. Not difficult to do your own price indices (which I and many other people do). |

That (your "too low" inflation) is a description of the effects of deflation, which is indeed very bad.
No risk of that right now. The rest of your post is correct, but I dont think we are even close to hyper-inflation right now.
I am not very fond of the current inflation rates, but its still on the managable side. |

Increased demand for maelstrom, Drakes, 1400mm guns, heavy missile launchers and maybe abbadons, lazers and tier 3 battlecruisers?
Plex prices?
Zydrine speculation?
None of the above. Which is quite easy to prove.
The first group is downright ... strange. Prices for T1 and T2 items are set by raw material prices, not demand (or only for a very short time period). |

This is an economic fallacy, and history doesn't bear this out. Bad news for you, Keynes is dead.
Got your degree in Chicago? *cough* |

Let's say they were a contributing factor. Some people forget that the Concord LP handed out is actually an ISK sink. I've never seen that number separated from the other LP store sinks, though, so I won't comment on how much it does actually dampen the ISK payout of incursions. Somebody got numbers? (or rough approximations?)
I actually fear the drone region change a tad more now - we don't need more ISK in the system, or at least not much. It's still under control, but I wouldn't mind lowering the ISK rewards of incursions and bumping the LP some. |
