Does anyone have a good guess as to why Amarr Navy Insignia have gone up so much in price in the last year?
Examples using Metropolis Market values:
Imperial Navy Major Insignia I Year ago: Under 200,000 Today: Near 1,000,000 500% increase
Imperial Navy Sergeant Insignia I Year ago: Under 60,000 Today: Around 300,000 500% increase
Imperial Navy Sergeant Insignia III Year ago: About 50,000 Today: Over 300,000 600% increase
Minmatar LP store requirements: UNCHANGED
Ok this wouldn't be so terribad if the market value of the modules you can get from the LP store either individually or by trading in for the BPCs had gone up a similar amount but they have not.
So what gives? It makes absolutely no sense today to make such items as the Republic Fleet Overdrive injector via LP store purchases... the contract value of the item is only 30 mil but the tags needed to get a single unit cost over 50 million... not to mention the cash and LP they want. Anyone know why these tags are so valuable? Is it something in the FW store?
Weird. CCP should really re-balance the LP store item requirements on the items that require Amarr tags. Dunno if other factions are seeing the same thing or not. What use are the tags if not for LP store items?
Comments?

MJ

That's expensive? Compared to 5 mil CN tags?
It's natural development after CCP killed highsec lvl5s, the main source of tags in Eve.

That's a load of crap goose. As someone who's been running the things in low sec and collecting those tags for years, I assure you only a few of the many types of tags that drop are dropped in lvl5's. On the amarr side, it's high captains and commander II's. Virtually all items in the amarr LP store require ordinary captain and commander I's. You will not find those in lvl5's in any significant quantity. On the minmatar side, there is a similar problem. You only get the higher tags, which incidentally tend to be worth less because they are more common than the lower level tags. The problem is drop rates. The minmatar captain tag is probably the most egregious example, it's npc buy orders being 50k isk yet I've never seen it sell for under 1.1M isk.
The real problem is some of the drop rates have been faulty from the very start and FW plexes are the primary source of tags. And almost no one runs those these days. In fact, I know of only a single player in all of the amarr/minmatar front that runs them. For the curious, that would be sasawong. Thus far you shall read, but no further; for this is my sig. |

It dosn't help either that most amarr faction kill missions L4 from what ive seen are against the gallante instead of the minmatar.

Yeah, I've noticed the increase too, wish I would have stocked up =)
Another thing to consider is that the eve population blows through level 2 and 3 missions to get at the good payouts from level 4's. In order to make the lower level missions worth the time to run/loot, the tags that come from those missions need to go up. A lot.
This also means that the LP store items that need those tags are going to crash hard isk/lp wise.
That's my take on it anyway....

Thanks for the tip, I've been sitting on a s-load of tags since my missioning days, I guess its time to unload them.

It seems like this would also be linked to how popular items within each races LP stores are.
Amarr/Caldari seem to be in super high demand for their armor/shield tank items. Gallente only really have Fed Navy Webs and Mag Stabs... Minmatar have prop mods, gyros, and points...

The "every agent is Q20" change means that more LP is chasing fewer tags. Never mind the 0.0 income nerf has encouraged folks to run level 4s. Never mind the how-to posts on how to blitz missions and how to get good LP/isk conversion rates.
Makes you wonder if running level 2/3 missions for the tags might be worthwhile.

more anti faction hating morons wanting to buy tags to cash in on the phat goodies.
they want the tags but are NOT prepared to take the faction hits. so they pay STUPID amounts for tags, I personally dont mind. I make BULK isk off of suckers who pay for them

This is essentially it, but with less venom. CN Vice Admiral last time I looked were headed towards 4m a shot, and that's even if there's any to be had.
Good time to bail out of that stuff and head out to WH space.
Have a look at implant prices, $2 hooker time.

Or a good time to find a way to get as many tags as possible and capitalize on the new pricing. Looking at the anti-amarr missions on eve-survival doesn't loot too promising. Maybe finding somewhere that has a lot of lvl 2/3 agents and blitzing/declining until you have a bunch of anti-faction missions then chaining them for a week might be a good way to go.
Still might not be worth it over level 4 bounty/loot though....

simple.
if you have great faction standings...
go around lookign for ONE mission in particular. In my case it would be Enemies Abound. keep doign this all week untill my amarr agents in amarr space all have given me it.. then farm each mission daily. it will take the better part of weeks/months but the tags OMFG!
on a side note doign that on the serinity server gets you a perma ban. lol.

Ditto. Time to make a killing --- There are two sides to the EVE community; those that scream for change and those that scream against it. Often they are the same person. |

Lvl 5's being nerfed is a big affect.
Also, everyone seems to decline faction missions these days it seems. Me, I love faction missions because tag loot is so juicy.

Yea a lot of people don't want to exclude themselves from half of Empire space, which isn't exactly surprising.
If I get a faction mission I just use an old alt to get the standings hit. No way my main is going to cripple herself, I'd rather grind a few extra missions.

Generally when you play a game you expect things to open up, not that things close down and limit you more and more.

how about...
high sec should give NO bounties and NO sec increase in any system that is above 0.5 in true sec. uit should also have the option to have MORE anti faction missions. but at a cost. if you pick this its for a whole 12 months, much like a remap.
imo if player "pirates" cannopt be allowed in hi sec, why the hell shopuld npc pirates be allowed? before you say i am some bitter vet in low sec or 0.0 think again. I would happily do anti faction missiosn all year long. also doing fw missions is a waste of time. NO ONE does fw missions for the tags, they do it for the easy as LP.

The no risk in high sec song is getting old. Null bear land and Low sec is pretty much on par with the risks these days compared to high sec.

1) Ever increasing number of blitzers -> less tags
2) Ever increasing number of weirdos who don't take faction kills -> less tags
On the plus side this means if you don't blitz and do take faction kills your tags are worth more, yay.
As with everything else in eve it will reach a tipping point and suddenly harvesting tags will fotm and the market will adjust again.

Why are you a weirdo for not wanting to run faction kill mission ? Except for getting tags which is only isk after all why would you want to destroy your faction standings. In the eve galaxy huge swaves of the galaxy are already of limits (0.0). Why would anyone want to make the sandbox they play in even smaller by ****ing of one of the npc factions so you cant enter there space.

there is a word for people liek that.. collaborator, you know.. someone that works for both sides.. just remember its not anti faction missions that drops standings.. its storyline missions too. so you are NOT going to do them too?
