Has any research been done in how this increased income will affect the game and the economy as a whole? The data I have in front of me suggest that - excluding PLEX - inflation has been relatively stable since mid 2008. We generally see increased volatility around expansions, but our CPI today is about the same as it was circa Q2 2008. We do need to do more work to balance out our ISK flows, but we also need people to be playing our game, and specifically we need people to be running anomalies if we want nullsec to be a healthy area of the game.
I really dont mean to sound like a broken record, or be snobbish but I quote the 2010 Q4 QEN
2010 Q4 QEN wrote:EVE Central Bank has been monitoring the money supply closely and is becoming increasingly
concerned about the rate of growth in the total money supply and the subsequent risk of inflation
increase (see next section). The bank has therefore proposed that in 2011 there should be a focus
on increasing ISK sinks in order to curb potential inflation.
This change seems to be the opposite of that . . . 
Also, PLEX are the standard rate of conversion between the USD or whatever real currency you want to compare it to, when the exchange rate swings widely in one direction, it indicates a weaker economy and thus inflation.
Everything else is ancillary, the PLEX is the standard that should be used to measure inflation if the ISK |

If someone is able to get 90 mil an hour live but after this patch they get 70 mil/hour
Then another person who gets 30 mil an hour now gets 40 mil after patch.
Is the patch a buff or nerf?
Im going ot go with nerf, becuase the person who was earning 30 had the potential to earn 90 they just couldln't figure out how to do it.
The only thing that matters, imo, is maximum isk/hour for a EACH character in a sub capital ship. Honestly though, thanatos is the only carrier worth using for ratting, the others just dont have the firepower.
I agree, isk/hour is all that matters. . . but what ship and skills should they use? your tengu? a deadspace tengu? an officer tengu? a nyx? a titan?
By what scale should they measure isk/hour? yours? |

what exactly is a "regular fit"? T2 rigs? short range weapons? Long range weapons? how many damage mods? shield tanked or armor tanked? what about an ishtar against the guristas? cap boosted or passive?
please link the standard fit that everyone uses for all anomalies everywhere . . . |

Plus with the reduction in minerals hitting the market cause of no alloys, will help out mineral prices and more ISK for legit miners. To me, the alloys is helping to make more problems then they solve and to get rid of them for regular bounties would help out the game in various ways.
The problem is that this would cause even MORE of an isk faucet then ratting is now. It also removes some of the unique aspects of 0.0
I wonder if there is some other way to differentiate the drone regions from the rest of Eve |
