CCP should do more to fuel confrontation... I have said this for years now - give the people something to shoot at that will either..
1. Ruin someones day or
2. cause the owner to defend it.
I would like to see an Incursion type areana but with perhaps CCP running these so called live events.
Or perhaps more tounament based areana.... just something to make people want to spend isk.
I have about 5bil in the bank, anything i earn goes into a PVP ship. I personally hate grinding but find incursions a good and enjoyable pass time. I don't think incursions are the reason for increase in PLEX. Its quite possible due to the effect of moon mining. (dont get confused i am talking about moon mining and not the act of reacting).
Role eve back 5 years at a time when small roaming groups were frequent - thats eve at its best and i think the nano nerf stopped a lot of roaming gangs.
Now i use t1 cruisers and destroyers becuase they are cheap and good fun, and with the act of being blobbed its makes taking a more expensive ship out roaming hard to justify.
Perhaps what we need is a different types of fuel for all types of ships and not just capitals..that is an item managed by CCP and not a player based thing or, certain items in game will contain a VAT payment.
You can make a lot of accounts to real life. people will spend money on new items so we need new items - however this may not be as simple as it seems since adding new items means so many different other paths need to be walked.
I think you and Raven are both wrong about that. Whereas in real life consumption is the fuel of the economy in EVE it is not so good.
If everyone start to pvp more then there will be more circulation of isk so there will be inflation, that's for sure whereas most of the source of income are independant from the player's market so at the end it would be bad for mission runners, plexers and guys doing incursions...
In real life we can see that when a country starts to develop quickly there is a big inflation (see : China) but it is still a good thing for that country as unemployment is reduced and the counrty can "catch up" with the more developped countries, there are no "developped countries" in EVE and no unemployment... The reasoning doesn't apply here.
That being said i love PvP but if we just look at inflation it's debatable to promote a lot more pvp.
