Hi, All,
I've read hundreds of posts and all the threads about the current issues, and I want to make some statements, ask some questions, and get some advice in a FRESH thread... The other threads have droned on with lots of ire, spam, and insults and are also somewhat off topic...
From reading all them here is what I think I know...
Postulate: the effective price of all mined minerals is zero as you don't get isk for mining...
Postulate: t1 ship insurance gives you isk for the minerals used to make your ship when your ship dies
Conclusion: since the value of the minerals is zero, and the isk payout lots of isk (like over 160 000 000 isk for a tier 3 t1 bs), then I can make a profit in isk by building ships and just blowing them up...
CCP will change the isk payout to reflect the "lower value" of minerals...
Since minerals are effectively worth "zero"... the price of minerals will "chase the bottom", meaning they will fall, fall, fall until they reach the price of the new insurance payout? Is that right?
One of the problems with minerals being worth "zero" is the t1 loot drop from ratting and the drone regions... therefore, those get nerfed with the idea that there will be some value in the remaining supply of minerals?
This "value" in the remaining minerals will "bring back mining" so people who mine can sell their minerals for a "competitive" isk wage versus the other professions in eve?
Here is the part that I don't understand...
There are so many macro miners who mine with scripts all day in high sec. There are so many ratters in the drone regions that rat with scripts. Why wouldn't it be easier to just ban all of them and leave things the way that they are?
Isn't the new rebalence (granted it's necessary) just arranging deck chairs on the Titanic as long as macros can flood the game with minerals worth zero? I mean what is to stop the macro players from just adding an extra macro account so they make more stuff, sell it for less per unit, but get the same isk conversion?
This is the part of the equation that I don't understand, assuming I kind of understand the above part... I see how the present system isn't sustainable as some people are making a billion isk a day off of just building and self-destructing ships, but I don't see how the new system is a permanent fix without some serious banning of macros?
Thanks in advance for your comments!
