Originally by: Slave 2739FKZ Awesome sauce. Great job.
Curious about trade volume (EVE economy is just HUGE), the billions are international system (10^12) or 'american' billions (10^9)?
Billions are 10^9 in most places, including Iceland.
erm iceland still uses the long scale system (10^12) and that is still the international standard (for now) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_(word) ___________________________________________________

All future graphs must have a standard 'RAGE' point (with arrow) to reach these awesome standards.
Graphs with RAGE are the best graphs

Originally by: Huberek Morchu Still have a macro miner in my system, only this one is not RMT, just playing in cheat mode. How do I get rid of him if it took CCP 2 years to get rid of the first ones?
It did not get 2 years for CCP to get rid of first ones, you allways would see bans here and there but nothign as major as this. The best way is to wardec him, and if he's in NPC corp (most proabbly) suicidegank him repeatdlly.
I hope too that CCP punishes soemway all these who bought ISK from the mentioens RMT's that got caught in this operation, as the own devblog says, best way to kill this is to kill the demand for it. I guess current marketing on PLEX stuff will increase legal money exchange and kill part of the demand, just hoping.
He is in a player corp, much bigger than mine, so I dont want a wardec to make it worse. Im considering using an alt to wardec or gank him. I just shouldnt have to. I should be able to report it, and CCP should investigate and ban.

So, who is responsible for banning them? Just to know who the red cross guys have to look out for to get him to the hospital when he's drunk from so much free beer that he has an alcohol poisoning. It might become a new world record (afaik it's currently at 5.12 ppm, some guy in russia survived that much). --- "Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign for a diseased mind." -Terry Pratchett |

Originally by: GM Grimmi Aside from a few implants, the in-game market has been remarkably unaffected by all this.
Well, that's not exactly true. It has considerably crashed some markets, for example PLEX (woot) and Ammo. Just look at the Lonetrek market for Wrath Cruise Missiles - it's dropped from about 7-12 million units/day to maybe 4 million units/day (exactly on June 22/23).
But thumbs up for your efforts to crush the RMT business.

I imagine that they are online and active 20-23 hours a day, every single effing day of the week.
A bit like those of us who haven't got a life, except much more extreme.

part of this plague is the fact that people are in a hurry for thier isk though. so while plex is a great great thing for long term investment or for people like me who like to play multiple accounts but are on a budget, alot of people simply dont have the patience .

How do you know he's a macroer? Sounds like you're assuming alot, and you can't just assume things when you're talking about banning accounts. |

Now this was a really great Dev Blog. I recognize that killing >2% of your annual revenue on a single day is not an easy bullet for any profit-driven company to bite. Kudos.

I think this explains why fuel prices are going up - macros / RMT monkeys are/were a huge source of isotopes.
I hate RMT as much as the next guy, but I think it would be wise on CCP's part to look into the areas of the game that were heavily macro'd (such as the aforementioned ice mining) and find ways to make them more interesting so more people will do it legit.

Well, some parts of the market were affected. I would LOVE to read from our good Dr.E. about that in the next QEN maybe.
Look at Tritanium prices for example. Trit crashed! Why? I would think it would skyrocket though.
Isoptope prices pretty much increased a lot, but that was to be expected with wiping out the macros.

I think you can safely bet that people WILL find them interesting once prices have tripled or more

Well done to CCP, you must have hit them where it hurts if the forum spamming of keylogger posts is any indication (as the RMT scumbags move on to alternative isk generation methods).
Now if you could just block new accounts from posting on eve-o (or maybe just block them posting links) till they've completed the tutorial that would add a time sink and thus cost to RMT spamming...

Anyone else think the ISK traded/day graph shows a decline of close to 1 trillion/day after Unholy Rage? To me it looks like before UR, the amt/day seemed to range from 5-6T throughout the week, and then dropped to 4-5T after UR. I would be interested to see what a 7-day moving average for ISK/day looked like. They only show an average of trades/day, which (as they claim) seems to have remained stable.
I may be imagining things, but I think I have seen the effects of this. One of my corp's favorite things to do is get into big brawls in low sec, and it seems like people nowadays are a) much more timid and protective of their ships, and b) much less likely to field expensive assets. I can't remember the last time I saw a big blob o' battleships in low sec...

Originally by: Gnulpie Look at Tritanium prices for example. Trit crashed! Why? I would think it would skyrocket though.
Mineral prices are relative, not absolute. They are determined by the 'floor' under them set by insurance. This is for the 'basket' of minerals used for shipbuilding.
So, if there are other mineral types that are now in less supply, they'd go up and the others would go down.
Macro miners used to strip whole belts of everything. Player miners will only take the best ore, which is currently Veldspar, leaving a shortage of the other low-end minerals.
So the other low-ends rise in price, and trit drops.... The only way to get a fair valuation of minerals would be to remove insurance....

Oh yeah because right now that every nooby alliance leader just spams pos for his alliance JUST BECAUSE FUELS ARE CHEAP is better? Some things SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND SHOULD BE EXPENSIVE cause that way some problems would never have become so big that need a game balancing to fix when the sole reason of them is isk sellers.
