TBH, its resellers jacking up the prices, not the T2 producers. As for the Faction ships etc, the number of people reselling escrow seems to have gone through the roof lately. Check out how all the items are being sold by 1-2 chars and all at the same price. Example, Corpum-A Type EANs, 325 -> 365 mil in around a month due to 2-3 people buying and reselling every one which comes on the market.
The thing is, reselling only works in the long term if there is enough demand at the higher price to consume all the available supply. And if that is the case, then the higher price is the proper market price of the item anyway, it was the lower price that was wrong.
If you try and resell at a price that's too high, you won't be able to sell at the rate you're having to buy up the supply, so you'll get a larger and larger stockpile until you run out of isk.
A large degree of sustained reselling usually indicates either that the market is undergoing a transition, or that the suppliers to the market are ill-informed about what their product is actually worth (which is quite likely with loot that individual NPC hunters may only see once in a blue moon).

Since tech2 market isnt working like real economy it causes a lot of issues:
We have x numbers of BPO which are static, but the y number of players is not static.
So we have a articially limited number of items produced, demandend by a hugly increasing number of players needing the items.
And since tech2 guns arent a luxury item, they are needed for every ship competing in PvP you will see their prices getting higher and higher.
Also cloaks have the problem that the ships using them trippled (pilgrims/arazus) and they are lost in PvP much more often than 1 year ago.

Actually this is wrong. The Patent system we have in RL means only a limited Supply of such goods exists
What we lack, is choice. If we do not like say the Amarr Assault Ships, we can't just opt to buy a Cal Assault ship. This is espically true at the bigger ships.
In RL, if we do not like say Java, you could program in C++ or PHP. You have a choice and it does not require a massive reinvestment of time and effort.

GTC's do cause inflation regardless of whether isk is created or not.
If 100 players with several billion isk each all go out and buy GTC's from 100 players with very little isk each then wealth has been injected into the poorer player base from a group of rich players whose demand on items is limited.
Now these players unable or unwilling to work for the items they want in game can actually afford them so you now have increased demand for said items and as such the price rises.
In laymans terms, spreading the wealth around means more people with money to spend and thus more people buying stuff.

The diffrence is, that on true capitalistic market, the elite changes, there are always new opportunities to become the new tycoon etc.
While in eve's broken system, all 8 HAC bpos were distributed years ago, and are rarely sold now, if at all :(
I have started around RMR (dec 2005), went away around the time the bugs & server crashes got unbearable (august), and amassed 50b or so inbetween, and thats assuming my pilgrim BPO is worth zero ISK because of invention... not much really, but still ...

I heard there's a filthy T2 drone cartel out there in space.
Just stop buying them! BTW T2 drones are only about 20% better over T1.

It's more than 20% when you take into account the drone specialisation skills.
Even before that, there's a 20% boost to both damage mod and tracking, so in practice they will do more than 20% extra damage.
