More ISK/character = inflation.
Sorry to cherry pick, but Bellum is completely Wrong here.
Inflation means that a Dominix in 2009 costs more than a Dominix did in 2005.
(It takes more money to get the same thing)
BUT
What really happened is that a Dominix in 2009 (43 Million) costs LESS than a Dominix did in 2005 (63 million).
(it now takes less money to get the same thing)
Bellum, what you are talking about is called Increase in Monetary Supply and not inflation. Take some economics classes.
Sorry, but that over used, and just plain wrong, Pirate excuse for Carebear's increase in the "Death of Eve Threat Level" is a pet peeve of mine.
Get it right Pirates ... shesh.

Stop being obtuse/a catamite. No hard feelings eh?
Quote:
Dictionary: cat+a+mite (kăt'ə-mīt') pronunciation
A boy who has a sexual relationship with a man.
[Latin catamītus, from Catamītus, Ganymede, from Etruscan Catmite, from Greek Ganumēdēs.]
So let me get this straight.
I replied to your post in this thread, you know the one where I pointed out (with irony and sarcasm) that your response to my original post was childish and immature ....
So you shoot back that I should stop being a "boy who has a sexual relationship with a man"?
 uhhhmmmm wth 
I think its time for you to put down the thesaurus and go to bed now Bellum. It's obviously past your bedy-by time.

No, I'm suggesting the vast majority of pirates pick their targets based on the understanding that it's unlikely they'll lose to such a target (be it due to the ship or that the pirate has a group with him, etc.). This is, in fact, how real world pirates operate. They don't attack things randomly.
Seriah is pretty correct on this point.
Having been part of a Pirate alliance long ago, I have seen it first hand.
99% of the time pirates only attack targets where they know 100% that they will win the engagement. If there is a chance they wont, they will blob, or bg out.
You can fantasize about the glory and honor that is part of piracy, but really they do the math before a fight. It makes sense really. Only attacking targets that will guarantee a victory makes sense. 
Real life pirates do in fact do just that.
