The sandbox is changing, it was all the time and it wont stop, you adapt or you die. If this change is too much for your PI actions you just didnt try hard enough.
While I agree with this statement, planets themselves are already better in null sec, so a lot of high sec PI is done solely upgrading tiers of PI stuff. Now think about this: The old tax was low enough to where there was enough profit margin to do this. So if theres no benefits to having manufacturing planets in null sec, then why would you set them up (outside of necessary POS fuel). Why not pull as much T1/T2 PI as you can off your planet and just sell that every month or two?
Player Owned custom offices in low sec? I don't know. I would have gone with factional COs there and offer maybe a 3% tax rate. At least in null sec you can set up cyno jammers and have some actual control of your system. What do you do if some ******* decides to drop 5 dreads or so on your CO and throw it into reinforced in 2-3 minutes? How does a small corp fight such griefing? At least with POSs you can throw 12+ hardeners on there so it takes more dedication to destroy them, but custom offices have no resists. I guess we can only see how this will play out.
And the inflation/price increase thing: it is inflation when more money is chasing the same amount of goods (IE isk faucets are overflowing,), and a price increase is less specific (think squares and rectangles; not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles). A price increase can come from increased demand, decreased supply, increase in the "cost of doing business", inflation, etc. In this case, because the cost of using PI is going up, the supply will probably decrease, and the cost of extracting those goods will be reflected directly in their price.
But like John said, adapt or die. People will readjust their PI, make more efficient setups in high sec that don't require as much importing and exporting. |
