How does ISK enter the game/economy. I'm guessing that it's via npcs but I could be wrong, if so then how does CCP control for inflation?

NPC gives liquid ISK bounties and rewards, from buying trade goods and reselling them down to Mission running and ratting in lowsec, the list is long...
There are allot of ISK sinks in the game, from Market taxes down to NPC goods trade goods.
CCP manages inflation and deflation, they have a very good team over there watching everything like a Hawk :praise: |

ISK wakes up every morning at his room in the Arctic Comfort Hotel in Reykjav+¡k and has a light breakfast in the coffee shop. Ready to face the day, he gets a A+¦alst+¦+¦in-BSH taxi over to CCP HQ.
After having another coffee with some of the Devs he makes his way through a small doorway in the back of a second floor janitorial closet and is deposited directly into the market in Jita 4-4.

I-¦m not saying they dont, but seeing the crazy infaltion that took place in the last cple of years they havent done a very good Job. However they increased prices for BPO`s and Skillbooks to fight inflation. Power of two is probably also meant to decrease the infation rate shar'ra phone home |

Eh... by my calculations, plex account for about 20% of the total transaction and broker fees daily.
We're talking about 25 billion isk in transaction taxes and broker fees every day from just plex. |

I guess you /could/ take that as being plex. But it's an indirect method. It's really use the fees and taxes already mentioned. Steve Ronuken for CSM 8 Handy tools and SDE conversions Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

I guess the best ISK sink is PvP.
Especially those guys carrying PLEXes with their industrial capital ships getting blown up. It is true, stupidity has no boundaries . |

Not only is PvP not an ISK sink, it actually drives an ISK source: insurance payouts. PvP causes material to be destroyed (directly) and ISK to be created (indirectly via insurance).

i think is very clear where does it come from, whats more interesting is where does it go.
i guess the number one sink must be SOV bills (all of SOV claimed), second sink must be corporate offices, and a far third sales tax, with NPC corp tax as fourth.
my point is that the biggest sinks are on organizations rather than on individuals, if there's so much inflation the best way to fight it would be taxing individuals more. and by inflation lets not draw parallels to irl inflation... unlike on eve in real life currency doesn't grow in trees.
now, raising sales tax is a bad idea, or at least one that will **** off far more people than another hike on NPC tax...
shall we now turn this into yet another "nerf highsec" thread? |

Isk sinks are good, they make remaining isk worth more.
Material sinks are bad, they make remaining materials worth more (and isk worth less)

I also don't like telling people they're wrong. I'll do it, but I don't /like/ doing it. Steve Ronuken for CSM 8 Handy tools and SDE conversions Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

suggests skill books are one of the largest sinks in the game. Steve Ronuken for CSM 8 Handy tools and SDE conversions Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

There are 2 theoriesgoing around now: 1) A stork brings it to mommies & daddies after 9 months of waiting 2) When daddy loves mommy he gets this twinkle in hiseye after a fifth of Jack Daniels & puts his yahoo into mommies hoooha & 9 months later a bouncing babyISKie pops out 
OK kidding aside use google & search for ISK faucets: here is a good link of both faucets & sinks: Its the Economy stupid Ripard Teg-á for CSM 8 |
