Yes Goon busted their ass to conquer all the regions holding tech and maintain a logistical nightmare to reap these rewards but you should have it changed because your not them. GTFO and play something eles

So its been a while since the CCP changes around producing tech. But nothings changed, Tech is still the same price.

I guess we better get used to goonswarm online then

Nothings changed?

When the alchemy changes went through Tech was selling just shy of 200k/unit, each moon making nearly 16 billion a month before fuel costs were considered.

The current ppu of tech is UNDER 80k/unit.


Your definition of "nothing" seems a bit off.

no it was not what a load of rubbish is was not much different to now

Hate to tell you, but the Tec problem existed ( concentration of moons in one region) long before Goons ever got deklien, in fact mittens even addressed the problem so don't blame goons blame CCP for the footdragging on this issue.

My alliance holds over 50 tech moons, adding that functional knowledge with that fancy market tab called Price History, then setting it to "6 Months" allows you to see back to June 2nd where the price was about 190k/unit. If you take a look at that tab it'll tell you how wrong you are and I wont have to waste anymore words doing it.


Short of that I can post a screen shot of the price history tab on the market window and show you and everybody else how wrong you are.

EDIT: Too late somebody else already posted the market window, showing you how wrong you are.

well it didnt really did it. There where a few dyspro and prom moons IN ALL Regions. Now there is sweet FA in the south and its all in the north. Plus there was nowhere near the same amount of dyspro moons etc compared to tech now

There are in fact tech moons in the south (3+ that I know of), but you are right, there are a TON more dyspro and prom moons in the game then there are tech, and most players did in fact point this out, at the time of the change the NC held nearly all those moons, we pointed them out as conflict drivers when spread around the game but the Devs at the time just brushed off what we were telling them, ignored us, and put the changes in anyway.

The end result was that fight starters around the game were made useless and all the wealth of the game was concentrated in one section of the map.

Those of us who were smart decided to get us a piece of that pie since they weren't going to do anything about how broken they were making it.

Don't hold a grudge against the players who sought out and made homes and strongholds around where the money was, don't get mad and say that the alchemy changes haven't changed tech, get mad at the developers who ignored what the players told them would happen 2 years ago for stifling again and again fights around the game by hamfisting changes and refusing to review them for years after their poor implementation wreaks havoc on the game, I'm looking at you Dominion Sov and Tech changes.

What's even funnier was Goonswarm holding Delve (i.e. the region with the most Dyspro/Prom) when the changes came :v

But no, totally biased decision purely to benefit Devswarm. Glad this guy's on the case! Imagine the damage he'll do once he realizes how to make market history go back farther than 5 days!

Look I admitted the mistake on the price. So go chill.... Again however that CCP Change wasnt the cause of that dip in price

Riiiight, Tech didn't drop from over 200k at one point to less than 80k today because of CCP's alchemy changes. Somehow this managed to happen even though most of the tech is actually in far fewer hands now than it was at its peak. Explain this to us, oh market wizard!

Say in your instance do you think any new alliances or even alliances that are 2 years old can ever stand up or compete with PL or CFC or HBC. Of course they cant and never will be able to.

Look I admitted the mistake on the price. So go chill.... Again however that CCP Change wasnt the cause of that dip in price

Ah right so you are telling me that everyone managed to moon mine all those minerals and do the reactions, to such an amount in such a small time to cause that dip?

Please stop now before you do start to look a little silly now..

To be fair that would and will be true without Tech given their numbers. You could argue that Tech gave them a lot of those numbers, but that would be suppositional and irrelevant at this point.

Except it was.

That's usually how these things happen. Nerf announced, people act accordingly. It's not like reactions are some kind of foreign thing, or that nobody was mining platinum or cobalt before this was announced.

Besides, you skipped the fundamental part of my question. If the drop in prices (not dip, drop, the drop has been happening pretty much since CCP Fozzie's devblog mid-July) was not caused by alchemy changes but instead by (insert your own batshit reason here), wouldn't that price be on its way back up now that most of the tech in the game is quite literally consolidated by one coalition? Especially one that would most definitely be fixing prices if it were at all able to?

and the second quote, again the price dropped in a matter of a couple of weeks, it would be impossible to moon mine such an amount to be produced via reactions in that time to make an impact on the market
n just a couple of weeks.

Speculation caused the initial sharp decline (note: speculation caused by the alchemy nerf). It rose for a while once the Tribute War started (first step was attacking NCdot's Tech in Venal/Tribute, which naturally caused a drop in supply), but once that subsided (and actual alchemy no doubt kicked in), it started dropping again, and currently sits even lower than it was during that initial downwards slope.
