WOW, my first post in almost a year, been a while since I played :) good to be back
and by only reading the first (OP) lol
Anyways,
I believe that there is an infinite amount of isk, because It is electronic, not real like IRL, but I don't think the way its being "handed out" really damages much, per say
however the last time I played or even looked at anything eve online was back in FEB 2012, I specifically remember PLEX were about 375-400 million ISK each, now they seem to be around 600 from what I saw in the last 5 mins I took to log in and check what I still had in inventory, MAN I made a boat load lol
since I bought them at 360 mil isk each if I sell for 2 times that I made a 100% PROFIT lmao
anyway I digress, that was merely from forgetting, (like the stock market, buy then forget [ to an extent].)
back to the post:
if this was like real life with having to work (mining missions etc) for isk but that isk was only supplied by other players I believe it would collapse, mostly due to the fact that there arn't enough people, in the world were you go to work, work, get paid by the company who also gets paid by the people buying their services,
you take your paycheck and buy something from say Wal-Mart that money goes to the workers, etc. and then those workers go out and buy that precious new iphone 5,,, you see how that happens,
however there are 6 billion some od persons in the world
as opposed to isay thousands of eve players? maybe a few hundred thousand
the process may sort of work, but maybe not, if the value of the isk was to go up, the items (such as plex) price would go down.
basically same process as inflation, but on such a small scale, the money needs to come from the government (in this case ccp)
see the government does print money, BUT that money (used to) be backed by the amount of assets we have, [gold silver etc]
now it is essentially backed by what's called a straw man, which means its backed by... YOU. your social security card, is like a deed, or a title, that is given on loan to other countries for cash, or credit. (the deficit.)
and that where this system would fail unless you had another country (another game) to borrow money back and forth from and to other countries(games) to loan it too, and charge interest etc.
just my thoughts
any thoughts on mine? |
