Dairusire Caldari Provisions Caldari State 0	Posted - 2015.07.09 12:59:37 - [1] - Quote I don't know if this question has been asked before, or lots. However the only forum posts I can find regarding this are from 2011, stating that there is roughly 445 Trillion Isk in eve as of Q4 2010... Now 5 years on (for the most part), I'm wondering what this figure is now, especially considering the continuing inflation of the market, and decreasing value of the isk. Cheers :)

In this case the truth will hurt them more than help them. The idea of isk inflation and isk value will be a closely guarded secret. Now that being said maybe CCP will grace us with info but I wont hold my breath on it. Theres way to much isk in the economy and I think itll just get worse and worse without CCP being able to do much about it. Theyre trying but I think peoples greed and understanding of the game mechanics will prevent them from doing much if anything about it. People are by nature carebears. And want stability and growth in their wallets. Theyve tried making more sinks but I think itll never be enough as people will find ways around those sinks if not avoiding them entirely. Strength isnt measured in numbers but in force of will. For if one motived willful individual stands many will fall around him that are weak. http://tinyurl.com/YarrFace

Really the only thing that is inflating is the PLEX. Is this a PLEX whine thread? If you feel there is too much ISK in the game, here is what you do: 1) Buy skillbooks for the NPCs. That removes ISK from the game. 2) Jet the skillbooks. 3) Shoot the can. 4) Repeat until you have removed the desired amount of ISK from the game. Know a Frozen fan? Check this out Frozen fanfiction

Cheers :) I'm not sure there is broad levels of inflation oaverall, it seems to be primarily confined to PLEX....which maybe a superior good for at least a subset of players. As to your overall question...wasn't it something like 1 trillion ISK/month entered the game, so we are about 60 months from the last economic report...so ballpark 60 trillion ISK?

Not all price changes are inflation. And the mineral price index changes can be traced to direct supply and demand changes.

Delt0r Garsk Shits N Giggles 414	Posted - 2015.07.10 15:24:16 - [21] - Quote Hoarding will also be a fairly significant isk sink. I mean incursion runners don't really need all that isk, when they never spend it on anything. And i know a few of them, other than grinding isk that they never spend, they almost also never lose ships. Overall it really means total isk in the game is a bit meaningless. Unsubs, assets all over the place doing nothing etc... A few parts of the economy being fixed (NPC sell orders). Death and Glory! Well fun is also good.

Multiply this by number of traders that will do the same and you'll end up with multiple people overstocking on them. All the while there's still traders coming in seeing the cheap stock and buying in. At the very least you'd be compacting years of purchases into a short time period and extracting trade fees from multiple traders. I've dabble in this before, but I'll consider trialling this at some point soon. The Indecisive Noob - EVE fan blog. Wholesale Trading - The new bulk trading mailing list.

Kiandoshia Applied Anarchy SpaceMonkey's Alliance 2304	Posted - 2015.07.10 17:52:35 - [24] - Quote Correct me if I am wrong but if there were any big inflation, wouldn't everything become more expensive? Market stuff has been pretty stable for as long as I can remember, with a couple of change based (patches changing items or drop rates or mineral yield) fluctuations every now and again. The only thing that keeps getting more and more expensive are PLEXes, so is this like a semi inflation?

Phoenix Jones Isogen 5 1514	Posted - 2015.07.18 16:58:08 - [32] - Quote Unscientific estimate... Every Titans about 100 billion. There are about.. Maybe 600 Titans ingame ATM (I'd probably aim more towards 1000). Every super is about 20 billion. There are about... Maybe 3000 supers. Every dread and carrier is 1 to 2 billion. There are about, 10 to 15,000 dreads and carriers. Based on those fictional numbers. 100 trillion in Titans. 60 trillion in Supers. 45 trillion in carriers and dreads. And coalitions and large alliances will generally srp or immediately replace losses Yaay!!!!

Enya Sparhawk Black Tea and Talons 74	Posted - 2015.07.18 20:00:51 - [34] - Quote Tiddle Jr wrote: Eve economy is more effective and efficient than Earth ones. Eve players should start giving Economy classes IRL. Hahaha... Would make an interesting online course...(some universities have "zombie apocalypse" courses, so I could totally see one being offered called, "Virtual Economies 101": an introspective comparison of values between the virtual and all that branded "In God We Trust"; you could probably throw the bitcoin somewhere in there as well.) Unfortunately, aside from the purchase of PLEX (a mere commodity in that market), the EVE economy is entirely virtual with absolutely no tangible real world tie (outside of 'time'; another intangible)... you lose a ship, you merely lost a bit of data... In the real world though, if your virtual markets crash (say someone trips over the power cord)... then you're going to need something behind it to physically sustain it, otherwise, well, "POOF"... those with nothing in their hand, will have exactly that... For Eve, that would only mean no more sale of PLEX until the power cord is plugged back in. The world wide web took decades to evolve into the virtual entity that it is today, with 'actual' physical connections all over the Earth... just thought I would share that last part, I'm not really sure why... (it seemed rather funny to me. lol) Of course if CCP really wanted an efficient ISK sink, all they would need to do was create a virtual 'blackhole' in the market (an actual convergence of digital 'energy' sucking everything within itself); an actual physical anomaly not made of code, bits or data, then watch as it transcends all mediums within that system. Not even the light of day would escape its virtual graspWhich is good because it wasn't a very good movie... Your only worry after that would be whether or not your virtual market then has as much physical contact to the real world, sort of like a ground in an electrical system, otherwise... Crash...Crash...Crash...Crash...Crash...Crash...Crash...Crash...Crash... (Choo-Choo) Fíorghrá: Grá na fírinne Maireann croí éadrom i bhfad. Bíonn súil le muir ach ní bhíonn súil le tír.

Ishtanchuk Fazmarai 3844	Posted - 2015.07.18 20:08:20 - [35] - Quote As a matter of fact, most wealth in the game is stuck in lapsed accounts. CCP can't really estimate for the reasons pointed above, but since: a) most of the accounts ever owned are not active b) players rarely share their wealth when quitting It's a logical conclusison that, whatever is the amount of assets/ISK/ wealth in game, it's only a fraction of all the assets/ISK/wealth ever generated. Lapsed accounts are the game's n-¦ 1 sink. (Tip: CCP could make a estimate of wealth by probing as many players accounts as possible within the 24 hours timeframe; say scan 10% of all accounts older than 2 months, older than 4 months, et cetera) 73% of EVE characters stay in high security space. 62% of EVE subscribers barely PvP. 40% of all new accounts just "level up their Ravens". Probably that's why PvE content in EVE Online is sub-par and CCP is head over heels for PvP...

I wasn't even thinking about lapsed accounts... (Morbid thought: makes you wonder how many players out there with nothing in their lives but this one single game, who spent every waking hour in the last decade creating their 'empires' only to die at the helm and are then only discovered a week later by their neighbours because of the permeating putrid smell. Their only legacy then is to become an ISK sink on a virtual market... Huh. That is so sad. Those poor nerds.) Personally, I don't think that estimate would ever be even close to accurate for a such a quick scan... sort of like night and day... I think the best thing to do would to wait for the most opportune time in order to properly conduct a full scan of every account and then adjust accordingly... I mean, if you're going to do something, its always best to do it right... If you're collecting data/information like that, you don't want to guess, you want to know... I'm near certain at some point in the immediate future they will get their chance... What would a trial account be classified as since they weren't technically owned?

My guess is that CCP knows exactly how much ISK there is and even subdivides the information for a multitude of different metric results. As was pointed, CCP needs to run a script through the data bases in order to gather that information, but the script takes longer than 24 hours to run and crashes at downtime. Tranquility's data bases are massive and probably weren't conceived to be parsed systematically. This is why a statistical approach would be optimal: estimate how many players can you parse in 24 hours, then split that number by age and login time (these are data CCP already knows and accounts), pick random accounts on each segment and scan them. The larger the number, the better the estimate (and anyway it's relatively easy to check estimates: any non-Gaussian distribution should rise a red flag). Also that can be done with the "sleeping" data stored as lapsed accounts, which probably are outside of TQ and can be parsed as they please no matter if it takes days or weeks. 73% of EVE characters stay in high security space. 62% of EVE subscribers barely PvP. 40% of all new accounts just "level up their Ravens".
