Doctor X	Posted - 2003.07.25 04:18:00 - [1] Edited by: Doctor X on 25/07/2003 04:28:08 Lucas, please consider the following cases: 1) Joe buys a Thorax BP original at 72m. 2) Joe uses 4.3m isk on minerals (this with current mega & zydrine prices) to produce a Thorax. 3) At 10m a piece, Joe must sell 12.5 Thoraxes before he even breaks even! Case 2: 1) Joe buys a Thorax BP from Playboy at 20m. 2) Joe uses 4.3m isk on minerals. 3) Joe finds that everybody else has a Thorax BP and can't sell them for over 5.5-6m, with prices only going down because soon everybody has a Thorax BP. 4) Joe is now screwed, because Thorax prices continue going down as Playboy sells more and more copies. Eventually everybody has a copy and Joe never can sell enough Thorax to break even. Just do the math - infinite copies of Thorax BPs totally breaks down the economy for industrialists. Heff is not helping you - he is making it impossible for you to ever become an industrialist. By the way - with Heff now selling BS copies to, you can kiss the profitability of that market goodbye too. Enjoy your mining. You won't be able to make a profit on anything else for very long.

Doctor X	Posted - 2003.07.25 05:43:00 - [3] Lol how manly, hiding behind a dev who referred to a clearly broken part of Eve. The developers have also said that TL2 and research will fix the problem - somehow you forgot that eh Heff? Nice spin - we need a No Spin Factor for the forums, you'd be hating life then Heff. Some people just don't seem to understand that the cost of the BP must be figured into the price of ship, and a ship sold at 6m, with 4.3m mineral cost, is NOT profitable until one sells enough ships to recover the BP cost. This thread proves one thing for sure Heff: You can fool some of the people some of the time. Playboy is led by a person who is unabashed about the fact that he is taking advantage of clearly broken game mechanics, admits that he is ruinign the economy, and includes people who have been proven to be liars in this very thread. Playboy is one company I would never buy a BP copy from even if I wanted one - at least the other BP sellers don't lie or try to quote one thing developers say and ignore another to spin things their way.
