Some people would also argue that PL is a goon pet because the CFC is sitting on top of their tech moons. I'm privy to the details behind the BLM reset and believe me, it had nothing to do with their ~kb stats~ or non-participation in imaginary CTAs. PL is far, far from being a "goon pet."
whatever the details of the Black Mark incident may be - it is well-known that killboard activity (per member) of corporations and allies is monitored by Goonswarm leadership (which was considered a major advancement over using other kb stats like isk efficiency) and taken into consideration when it comes to issues like moon distribution, ... |

Goonswarm has been advocating for a Technetium nerf for a very long time - and now that it actually comes they are all mad about CCP removing valuable content from the game?

would you explain to us, why true sec matters today less than before?  hi when you conquer a system you can install a magical structure called an INFRASTRUCTURE HUB in it you can install the following devices: http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=2030 <-- generates anomalies that instantly respawn. Truesec does affect these spawns, but no longer affect them in a meaningful way since sanctums and havens were obviated by better types of anoms that spawn in literally any truesec http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=2044 <-- generates instantly respawning gravimetric sites in a system that allow for boundless mining neither of these upgrades are particularly affected by system truesec, meaning that any shithole you rent out is identical to the good space
... and when an anom nerf made truesec matter again for a few months the people who complained loudest about it (and eventually got CCP to buff the the lower-end CAs) were the same ones who cry that truesec doesn't matter anymore in this thread. |

There will always be a bottleneck for as long as the number of moons of each type is static & limited and people love T2.
The difference with Technetium is not the fact that it is limiting T2 production but that (mostly thanks to Akita who spelled out such a thing for the first time) everyone (moon miners and traders) is knows that Technetium is the bottleneck moon mineral, so the potential for price gouging that is inherent for any bottleneck gets actually used.
Alchemy doesn't change anything fundamental - it just makes it harder to determine the current bottleneck as it varies with the prices of moon minerals.
As long as Technetium is cheaper than X ISK, Technetium is the bottleneck, once it gets more expensive than X ISK tech alchemy kicks on and some other moon mineral becomes the next bottleneck and so on.
For the first few months prices might change a lot (due to speculation, territorial conflicts, increased mining of low-end moon minerals, ...) as the binding bottleneck constantly changes but eventually players will figure out a bottleneck moon mineral that has limited availability and considerable room for price gouging until a different restriction kicks in (which also makes it resilient against smaller supply side shocks) and push around moon mineral prices to get into that equilibrium.
All this change does is to make it harder to know which mineral price you can safely increase up to which point - it doesn't change anything fundamental about how bottlenecks for T2 production work (as dynamic and unlimited supply like ring mining would).
So stop whining and improve your spreadsheets. |
