Meanwhile, our beloved CSM which so much represents us, is very busy tackling on the critical issue of ABC minerals being found at wormholes and detracting 3% of nullsec's business with them.
I don't care much about ABC minerals in wormholes either way, yet you are probably badly informed if you think this was negligible. CCP Greyscale showed some stats, and ABC in wormhole account for about 24% or the total ABC mined. This is a lot more than T3 production need, and a serious blow to 0.0 mining. Less than 3% of nullsec's business? Given the way supply vs demand work in a exponential way, rather than linear, you could probably count of ABC prices to increase by 30 to 35% if ABC supply is cut.
So what? OMG people living out of POS's and dealing with all the logistical issues of WH's can make a little extra isk by selling high ends?
Seems like a working as intended to me particularly since the rational behind those high ends not being present in high sec is that they've long since been mined out in those civilized places.
If they really wanted to help out null sec miners they'd start by doing away with Drone Poo and switching them back to bounties. Seems perfectly logical that there would be bounties on them since rogue drones are a pest and a danger to every living thing.
Get rid of that and then remove the Meta 0 module drops from rats. There is no reason for it no one uses them so 99% of them get refined into minerals, get rid of all that T1 meta loot that just gets melted down and you'll solve most of the oversupply problem.
Adding bounties to Drones and boosting bounties on mission rats to make up for the lost earnings while removing that massive mineral faucet will accomplish two things. One it will reduce the amount of incidental minerals entering the economy shifting that activity to people focused on harvesting that resource rather than those who just happen to get it in the process of doing their day job, and two it will increase the isk flow into the economy making people feel more confident in their ability to recover from loss encouraging less risk adverse behavior.
Less risk adverse behavior means more ship destruction which means more demand for minerals which means higher prices which consumers will be able to afford because they have a higher income.
Every body wins.
The other thing that has to be done is beef up the ****ing exhumer's already it is rediculous that these ships are so fragile. Have you ever looked at an actual piece of industrial machinery? Go out to a construction site and check out a bulldozer sometime. Boost their grid and CPU already so they can actually fit cruiser sized modules and you'll see more people mining in low and null.
Either that or they need to be more nimble and able to run when threatened. Increase their agility significantly they don't have to have a higher speed just a higher agility so they can align and GTFO when trouble appears. Give them +2 warp strength
Make the predators work for their frigging kills for a change.
That's how you help null sec miners not by screwing over WH residents.
