The simple reason why Hulkageddons are good for the economy and for miners and mineral traders (the last in particular) is simply this:
Look at the market prices before, during and after Hulkageddon.
The ideal situation for miners and mineral traders, is a hulkageddon that is successful. It removes excess product and production in the raw materials for all the items made, it shrinks the supply side of the economy and by default the demand side has to pay a higher price for it's materials.
This is all upside if you are a miner, anyone knows the situatoin of investing in a hulk and the additional support needed to make it profitable, only to see the mineral market bottom out... it is a major problem.
Since Miners usually aren't PvP'ers or don't really have the means to kill off the competition in the belts, in particular to the killing of profits are the MACRO's that tear into your legitimate profits...
After this last round my profits for taking a week+ off of mining and the ore/minerals in my hangars has almost doubled just by sitting there and the market is primed for profit.
Real miners should say a thanks to the Gankers for the assitance in some removal of an annoyance and hinderance to the real economy of EVE, and good riddence to the Macro/AKFers, it is my suggestion that in the next HAG every legitimate miner take the time off, make an alt and spot/report any one you see mining, it can only help your own bottom line.
My 2 ISKies and then some, Minerals are going up in price!!! YARRR!

As a miner I wish we could get this event to go for another 2months prices in my area are still craptastic, seems to me these large NPC corps would be buying ore as well as players. Is ORE the official NPC supplier of materials?

The general ideas would (probably IS) that each event be staged (in advance notice/fore-knowledge) by the organizers (Boson for one) on a regular basis to manipulate the market into inflated up movements in price, by purposeful reductions in supply.
This is 101 in market manipulation and maximizing profits. This is minor to what could be done IF miners simply organized into a supply/demand "Miner's Guild" or "Union" and set prices them selves, rather like an OPEC for EVE raw materials.
Perhaps this may happen in the future, since HAG doesn't impact mining that much, neither would this, but it could on occasion add a few ISKies to the till at the end of the day.

I feel you are giving HA too much credit for mineral price rises. They were steadily climbing (actually swiftly climbing) since the Incursions content addition. Incursions has had much more of an impact on the market than has HA.
This HA was a storm in a teapot. One need only look at the numbers to see that.
I personally spent the entire time in .04/.05 belts with my corp mining just like we always have. The only thing we didn't do was haul minerals to trade hubs.

The trouble with this idea is prices were already on the rise before the event due to Incursion. so it's difficult to say just how much impact the event had on the prices.
but to be fair, say you were able to sell 200 million worth of trit during the event and before prices tanked.. and you lost a hulk (lucky if only one and not a hauler too I suppose)... the advantage might not seem that great. |
