1) STOP giving default insurance payouts. if you don't buy insurance you don't get a ISK back. If you want any kind of insurance money back you will have to buy a plan (make insurance its own closed system).
2) Make the Mission/Ratting bounties/rewards a closed system. Is not hard... you just take ALL the isk sinks BPO/Skillbook pruchases, Sell/buy order TAXes, Etc, (everything but INSURANCE) and put it into the CONCORD wallet. For new player compensation take the other have of the 500m average wallet (EI 250m) and put that directly into the CONCORD wallet when they join.
3) I konw the minerals supply use to be closed and i say go back to it, And as far as "hard" to conpensate for new players is bullcrap. All they have to do is take the "average player wealth which i was was like 500m last QEN and devide it in half and then put that 250m worth of minerals (split evenly via average basket) and put it to the mineral pool.
I can see in the way back in the "begining" of eve when there was little isk in the in the universe and alot of players and OPEN system worked best... but now I think there is pleanty of isk in the universe to support a closed system.
Enjoy,
ISK Hoarder

I think a currency with modest inflation is better. It encourages people to use that isk rather than sit on it. WIth fixed amount currency, a viable strategy is to simply sell off everything you own and come back in a few years. That shouldn't be a guaranteed profit IMHO. As one of those "Dirty Hoarders" i would be in favor of paying some kind of Hoarder tax, or something like the Federal Tax system where everyone ingame pays a Percentage to CONCORD monthly. Say 1-2% of your entire net worth monthly, and if you didn't have the ISK you would get a negative ballance and you have to be forced to sell your 100b in assets or keep enought isk on hand to pay the taxes. This would also solve the issues of "inactive accounts / Corps" with the idle isk, and be able to keep the system CLOSED.
That would remove my objection to the plan as long as the tax was just applied to the wallet and not general assets. Then it would be equivalent to modest inflation (without the risk of greater inflation). |

Making it rather redundant.
But CCP wouldn't have the leeway to create a massive isk source like it does today. That's really the point of these sorts of measures. And I don't think much of a tax on assets. Inflation currently encourages people to do something with their money other than hold onto it. Valuation of assets is uncertain, at best. And forcing trades (such as would be required, if your wallet went negative), has ugly side-effects.
