Does CCP use an economist in the development of Eve since the market is such a large part of the game or do the graphic designers control the development of the market?
It just seems to me that the market in a lot of areas are way out of balance. (ie.POS Minerals,Tek 2 componets)
I have not seen this discussed before and I'm very curious on how this works.
Thanks,

T2 modules price have nothing to do with real capitalist economy. T2 modules production is being done by monopolies who overprice their product.

Could the OP give an example of what is unbalanced so it can be discussed?

pos minerals are related to the number of producers, and the cost of ice.
T2 components are based on the demand and number of suppliers.
Since the number of BPO's is a constant, one person could buy all the BPO's and achieve an monopoly, which is probibly why T2 cap rechargers are so expensive.
CCP want a player controlled market, so encourage players to build stuff however this is essentially flawed since they control the T2 BPO release and therefor the price. If they introduced more they'd be more supply so the price would reduce.

Except that most T2 production is completely gimped for the producers. It costs 1 billion for a tech 2 BPO that earns 3 times less than a 1 billion tech 1 BPO. The last people being shafted are the consumers--T2 underpricing has completely killed the market for the producers.
But yes, T2 works just like a real capitalist economy--so does all of EVE. You can't escape it, no matter what you do.

I am more curious on this answer just out of interest sake then anything else.

It can't have, because they're still producing.

Ok forget that i put this into the thread. The question still stands on how is the market developed and controlled. Is there some type of economist involved or is their just some average joe makeing all this stuff up and letting the market drive itself for better or worse.

Well if you were to expand your question to the NPC side of things I could tell you for quite a long time it seemed as if they didn't have a clue on economics or the larger picture. These days I'm I going to have to say with the NPC side of things its a bit borked and there isnt as much variety as there could be (you have major ISK sinks in BPOs to tell you the truth but theres no sink such as investing into a station to make it run better or produce more goods). As far as I can tell having an economist on board is probably one of their lowest priorities at the moment.

As an economist, I am curious as to whether any of those complaining about the market are economists.
Markets seldom give you what you're willing to pay top dollar for. Sucks, but that's life.

Eve Economy vs Real economy, tech 1 vs tech 2.
Eve: You have the Condor and the Crow, the crow only has a few added materials, and some nifty features, yet it costs 10x the amount that one pays for the same chasis on the Condor
Real life: Cadillac's and Chevy's vehicles are nearly identicle. On most of their vehicles, the same chassis is used. The Escalade is the same as the Tahoe, using mostly the same materials, and with a couple of added features, yet the price is more than doubled.
