You pubbies know that the prices of planetary materials will increase to the point where this is profitable again, right? Probably even for most stuff in high-sec, too, though I can see a steady supply of plasma planet stuff from low/null out-competing high-seccers. |

Things are too cheap in EVE, anyway. ^____^ |

It's not inflation, it's price increases. There's quite a difference, there.
Anyway, small groups might not get POCO exactly where they want them, but EVE is a big place and there are lots of nooks and crannies where those corporations can find a good spot. Nobody will ever get a stranglehold on low-sec/NPC-null POCOs, or at least not for many years. If a corporation really needs planets nearby and can't hold them, they can always suck it up and pay some taxes. |

in-+fla-+tion [in-fley-shuhn] noun 1. Economics . a persistent, substantial rise in the general level of prices related to an increase in the volume of money and resulting in the loss of value of currency ( opposed to deflation). Derp. No, it's not inflation. It's price increases. Hey are you American by any chance?
Would you say that these increasing costs are due to a surfeit of currency in the economy (per the inflation definition you just pasted) or would you say it's more related to the increases in the cost procuring those materials?
You didn't even read the definition you pasted, did you? |

I can just picture your fat, sweaty fingers gleefully hitting the keys to copy and paste that definition. In my imagination, a single trickle of sweat washes over your eyes right as you copied that text, preventing you from noticing that inflation is not, in fact, what you think it is. Nice masterstroke, pal ^____^ |

Oh dear oh dear. I DO understand the situation very well. Money idling in someone's wallet is not part of the economy, just like money in unsubbed accounts is not part of the economy. But when people have an excuse to shove more ISK into the system, you will see fireworks. And yes it is inflation.
Inflation is a constantly active force in EVE, but it is not why planetary materials will cost more. PI costs more to produce, and will in some ways become more scarce due to POCO destruction and players eschewing it for other activities. That's not inflation, sorry to disappoint you! |
