Ie. if too many people run missions and thereby inject ISK into the economy, then mission running, as a flat-reward activity, becomes less profitable, so less people do it?

I don't think new ISK sinks are needed. There are plenty already, started with inactive accounts via broker fees to expired insurances, destroyed items etc.

Inflation is not really a problem due to the fact that general income has grown over the years, too and anyone has the same chance to earn ISK.

Destroyed items don't remove ISK for the game. The ISK you paid for those item is in someone else wallet. The only removed ISK are those paid to NPCs, be it in taxes, broker fees, bills, skillbooks etc....

The thing is, a Level 3 mission paid 250K ISK 7 years ago. It still does today. Inflation is one of the things that make content obsolete. EVE becomes a grindwhore all about the top 1% of the content.

Wow that is low is that just the reward or with bounties included? Would it be better if Missions only gave out isk in the reward and gave something else out for ships bounties i.e more lp for ship kill or tags that are more widely used?

I'd be interested to hear your validation for that statement.

What about changing some rat types to drop compounds that become minerals.......wait

My Idea would be to stop giving ISK bounties to missions lvl 3 and above, belt rats, and anomalies.

I read this as, "I'm a bittervet trying desperately to hang in to my advantage by making it impossible for new players to get a foot in the door."

The ISK supply is steady but mineral prices and therefore T1 ships went up. If you want to revert that trend you have to revert the changes that has caused this increase of a very small part of the market (there is no inflation in EVE).

I strongly doubt you will be able to convince Soundwave that the loot drop nerf and the drone loot change where a terribad idea. And stopping the holy crusade on bots is off limits too.

The only reasonable change that would help lowmin prices come down would be to double mining output in highsec. That would render mining a void profession again. Soundwave would not be amused.

I would like to elaborate on that inflation myth. T2 prices are pretty stable, ignoring that effect of T1 items/hulls that are required to build them. Moon goo is pretty stable and planet goo and as a result POS mods are way down. So are ISK/LP rates for stuff that can be gained via Incursion or FW LP. Mission LP are pretty stable beside hulls. The latter are linked to mineral prices. Ice products are way down too. Exploration stuff went down or is stable. So where is your mythical inflation?

thank you for your expert insights like "you need sovereignty to mine moons"
