41. where does ISK come from? - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Or to use your example, If CCP gave each player a billion isk all prices would go up, If they gave each player a billion isk worth of goods (prices at that moment) prices would go down. If they removed a billion isk worth of goods per player from ...

42. where does ISK come from? - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Zegox you are incorrect. If goods are added to the system and removed from the system at the same rate as isk then it doesnt matter if you increase both (or decrease both) there will be no inflationary effects. Of course this may cause price chang...

43. PVP: It is for timid pansies. Details within. - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
PVP in EVE is both meaningful (as the op as pointed out) and unrestricted. There are no limitations as to who or how many can engage who. THe only limits is of course COncord, and low sec gate guns. Even these are circumvented by the War dec syste...

44. where does ISK come from? - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Originally by: Zegox OP: EVERY transaction in EVE can be categorized in 1 of 3 ways: 1) Creates ISK 2) Destroys ISK 3) Transfers ISK (between players) Examples of each have already been pointed out, but I will list them here for conven...

45. Is it me or...? - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Here's some hints: use the new players channel in game, ask lots of questions. Use the help channel as well. For mission running or any sort of PVE you should set up your defense and offence depdning on who you ar fighting. Each enemy group deal...

46. Bloggers #57, Oveur on Content, Missions and your Feedback - in EVE Information Portal [original thread]
Exploration in order to be a desirable form of PVE must be balanced when compared to the other forms of PVE. This includes Mission running, Complexes and ratting. As it is now it compares poorly with all of these. Essentially exploration has the ...

47. Bloggers #57, Oveur on Content, Missions and your Feedback - in EVE Information Portal [original thread]
PVE in EVE is mainly about a player taking on escalating challenges. Since there are only two significant outcomes to a PVE battle (you lose your ship and some modules or you donĘt) it makes sense for a PVE player to continually invest more and m...

48. Tech 2, R&D and Invention Changes - An Opinion - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Your original post asked for a logical discussion of why the lottery system should be changed. You indicated that most people didn't like it due purely to selfish reasons. I posted to explain in game design terms what's wrong with it. I agree th...

49. Tech 2, R&D and Invention Changes - An Opinion - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
whats wrong with the lottery? 1) Its in-elastic. Every single T2 item has a cap to production. In demand T2 items thus always see a huge price increase which leaves a lot of players priced ouot of the market. THis isn't good from a game play poin...

50. Words from the GM Team, part 2. ISK Purchasing and You! - in EVE Information Portal [original thread]
Everyone says that Macromining is terrible and destroying EVE etc. THis may be so but it seems more like dogma then a reasoned argument. The normal problem caused by farming Mudflation doesn't directly apply. Mudflation happens in a game like UO...

51. CCP, seriously now, hire a couple of economists, fast. - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Its hard to say what would happen if the T2 bpo bottleneck was removed. Certainly as prices went down demand would go up. If production rates couldn't rise to meet this demand then the equilibrium area could be fairly high. On the other hand if th...

52. Words from the GM Team, part 2. ISK Purchasing and You! - in EVE Information Portal [original thread]
I totally fail to see how GTCs have a different effect on the economy they any other form of isk selling. You buy a gtc with real money and then sell it to a player for isk. He will have done some sort of farming activity to earn the isk. Whats th...

53. CCP, seriously now, hire a couple of economists, fast. - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
I agree that the term inflation is not nessecarilly a good term. I do think it is worthwhile to look at goods production vs isk production across EVE. When goods production is high vs isk production, prices tend to go go down (as in the current mi...

54. Bloggers #54, So my Agent called and has this "offer I can't refuse.." - in EVE Information Portal [original thread]
One thing I don't really understand is that if by 'most lucrative' missions you mean most return per hour played then moving the hard missions out of l4 will not get you what you want. When you factor in RP rewards, mission rewards, and part of yo...

55. CCP, seriously now, hire a couple of economists, fast. - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
A ship can always be turned into isk via insurance. Thus minerals can also be tunred into isk, thus all items can be turned into isk. The top price is derived from refining t1 items. Although this is less clear cut as I beleive any item bought fr...

56. CCP, seriously now, hire a couple of economists, fast. - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Well CCP can, as you point out adjust the effective bottom and top prices for minerals although unless you are actually hitting those limits its only a subsidy in theory. Your argument about CCP controlling demand is a lot more sketchy as its cl...

57. nflation in the EVE universe - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Well I meant PVP in the more traditional sense of players blowing each other up. PVPC I guess would be a term. Actually its intersting but if you break it down piracy would be worse then corp wars at least in theory since corp wars lose isk due to...

58. Some considerations on Eve, isk-trading and inflation - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
Macro mining is not inflationary it is deflationary. Minerals are not isk they are goods. Macro mining reduces the cost of minerals and indirectly via production , of everything else in the game. Macro missioning or ratting on the other hand has...

59. nflation in the EVE universe - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
I've seen a lot of post that bandy about inflation that obviously don't understand what it really means. Just because an items price goes up that does NOT mean inflation. Its only when prices rise across the board that a economy is inflationary, a...

60. Words from the GM Team, part 2. ISK Purchasing and You! - in EVE Information Portal [original thread]
Well if you can buy a GTC with real money then sell a GTC to another player for cash then you are definitly cheat as is described in the first point of the blog. Its clear that also that some players are generating isk to buy GTCs in order to play...
