A quick reminder: Removing ISK from highsec does not increase PVP. In fact, nerfing highsec means less PVP, especially for lowsec and "quiet" nullsec.
It increases the price level and decreases inflation, causing a ship loss to be more expensive. Expensive ship losses discourage PVP for anyone that isn't a blob-spamming or otherwise wealthy alliance.
Low price level = more expensive to die = less PVP OR less varied pvp (more tech 1, less tech 2 / faction pvp).
I'm all for keeping highsec as a moneymaker. It's not competitive with null on any front save maybe safety and NPC infrastructure. Not to mention getting a tower is suffering.
Keep ISK in high sec so I can keep flying my Curse, Pilgrim, Zealot, etc. I can make ISK in low/null, but nerfing highsec would raise the price level for ships & mods.
The cheaper ships, rigs, and mods are the more willing people are to lose them. More things dying = better.
The mindless carebears aren't going to leave Highsec. Ever. The most nerfing it will do is make them quit, which will raise prices on pretty much everything. This is a bad thing. |

This must be in response to all the calls to lower the Isk generated in Incursions...see other posts for that argument.
I can say from my viewpoint you are right. The one thing stopping me from trying to raise hell in null / low is isk

Currency inflation* if we're being anal.
When the price level rises with inflation the price level isn't actually rising -- it's just inflation. People have the same amount of real wealth so they can afford the same style of living.
Removing ISK from highsec both slows the input of ISK into the game and increases the price level. When you slow money supply while raising prices across the board, bad **** happens.

Assume the want for PVP isn't affected in the short term.
Minerals / ISK in high sec get nerfed.
Ship prices go up, starting with ships the industrial / mining base views as "non-essential" (see: anything that isn't a Raven or Hulk).
Module prices go up.
Some time after, demand for these PVP goods falls due to the increased prices and EVE becomes more passive.
Some will fly less expensive PVP ships (less variety)
Some will try out new fits / strategies less (less variety again)
Some will flat out PVP less or quit PVPing (less aggression)
Nerfing highsec would be bad for anyone that isn't a useless, parasitic null-bear that clogs up their alliance's JF services every week.

Usually when people ask for highsec nerfs they specifically mention mining, ice mining, and level 4s.
Minerals are a way to make ISK in high sec. I was using "Highsec ISK" as an umbrella for all ISK-generating activities in highsec. |

Reply to post #10
Who said anything about nerfing highsec minerals ? Mining in general and in particular highsec mining does not need any nerf whatsoever. What DOES need a relative nerfing is highsec mission/incursion income (be it by actually nerfing it there or by buffing it everywhere else). Let's say you pick the "let's nerf ISK income in highsec" option since it's the least disturbance-causing. If highsec ISK income would get nerfed, that would mean less ISK to go around, which would mean CHEAPER stuff, not more expensive, since there's less ISK chasing the same amount of items - or, actually, chasing higher amounts of items since in relative terms mining and industry becomes more attractive.
So pretty much the exact opposite effect of what you claim. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Contributor_name:Akita_T#Contributions_link_collection |

Let me boil all the unnessecary stuff away.
1 High Seccers enjoy safety and the casaul affair. This allows for the limited time players or the real cowards to still enjoy eve.
2 Nerfing high sec in terms of moving activites while equally not as good options are available has and never will work. Look up the lvl 4 low sec fiasco.
3 Nerfing high sec in terms of moving activities with NO altneratives that are not as good in the same activity has worked rather well in the past however it also played straight into nuller and lowers hands in inflating thier pockets.
4. Bottom line all spaces are FUBAR in thier own special way. Low sec is apperantly to lawless. Null is boring. and High sec plauged by those who dont want to move out.
5 Whats fubaring most of these divisions of spaces is the fact that there is suddenly a wall there. A massive feature that was once avaialble in a +0.1 sector of space is now no longer there.
6 If ccp did an appropriate scaling of security status with player incintives being added as lower the security goes, while player safey is slowly stripped away the lower the security goes. This may fix low sec and possibly empire in the process.
7 For example instead of concord showing up only local navy police show up in low sec at a much longer response time than concord could in a 0.5 Lets say a minute and unlike concord the local miltiary police will not wtf uber pwning the assailiants nor would they chase them instantly like concord would. So said crimial can and in most likely in todays envrionment will get away with the crime.
8 With ice issues which is what I think this thread was generated for. Its either you get rid of the ice in high sec your you put alot more ice in high sec but nerf the heck out of the types they offer. I peferr the total removal of the high sec ice though in this manner, moving the ice to low then wide spreading it to alot of places oh lets say all the FW systems have the highest concentration of the ice in low sec, put local FW navy facilities in the belts just to keep things interesting and incitivise FWing.

You mean, somebody specifically mentioned nerfing highsec mining, both ore and ice ? REALLY ? And "usually", not just one random somebody here and there, but a large enough number to matter ? SERIOUSLY ? Can you provide any shred of a proof regarding that statement ? As in, some links to various threads where people discuss that as if they're not trolling and NOT getting flamed to hell and back in spite of decent enough thread activity level ? http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Contributor_name:Akita_T#Contributions_link_collection |

It's been ages since mining was mentioned GÇö that's usually directed at removing the massive influx from nullsec, most notably the drone regions, to further improve mining income or at least to make mining matter again. Ice mining is almost never mentioned, aside from the dev blog a little while ago where it was discussed if some ice products (not ice) should not be available from highsec belts.
Quote:Minerals are a way to make ISK in high sec. I was using "Highsec ISK" as an umbrella for all ISK-generating activities in highsec. Then you need to be a whole lot clearer about that since you keep mentioning GÇ£input of ISKGÇ¥, which is something completely different.
If you are talking about a reduction of both ISK and materials injection, then the effect is nil GÇö if both go down; both maintain their value relative to each other. In fact, your entire description of inflation isGǪ offGǪ shall we say. By very definition, people can't afford the same lifestyle unless their income increases at the same rate, and what they held before does not retain its value in the process. What you're describing is something else, so we're back to the first post: I don't think that word means what you think it meansGǪ
You're making some awfully large leaps in your causal process, and basing both the premises and outcomes on some pretty huge (and rather mysterious) assumptions. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Who cares about HS Mining. The amount of isk per account you make from it is laughable. Ice mining could use some changes but its not really that big of a deal. Really to solve HS Ice Mining is to make Ice work like asteroids, and have them deplete. The issue currently is L4s, which has been a issue for awhile now, and HS Incursions. However personally I don't think CCP should touch HS until they scale 0.0 and Low. |

First of all, there's the option to move isk generations downsec, instead of removing it. Less effect that way, with side benefits.
Secondly, i'd personlly pvp more if it'd mean something. Economic attrition used to have some meaning for nullsec warfare, now it doesn't, escept maybe on supercap count. I've always said CCP needed to make pvp more expensive, not less, to increase pvp fun for me. |

Not quite, that's like saying paying for a $15k car making $30k/year is easier than buying a $30k car making $60k/year. Income and expense are still relative to one another and if both rise or fall together it doesn't really matter; the effort to acquire goods remains the same.

Still does, but on a much more massive scale. It took tens of trillions of damage done and ratting isk denied to wear NC down. That is the reality of todays bloc-controlled null.

HIgh Sec Nerfs I am in favor for.
1 increase high sec refinery taxes. Making perfect refines that much harder to earn. 2 increase high sec lab fees substancially. 3 increase broker fees and sales taxes. 4 Remove ice it doesnt belong in high sec. 5 increase factory fees while we are at it.
The point above is to make players pay for that 'safety'. These nerfs would only encourage to seek cheaper revenues to get the edge over thier competitors that are only available in low and null. Similar things have been already done in PoCos
Now nerfs to low sec I can live with.
Faction Police on the Gates. Admit it gate camping in low sec is lame where at least in null it provides a function. Also by having faction police on gates would actually increase pvp changes as players who want to venture out into low would find it slightly more inviting. Low sec players are oftenly shooting thier own foot scaring all the quarry away, no wonder why they are starving. Does no good to put bait out and leave dozens of rotting corpses of the bait targets friends out there they will know better.

A little bit of information is a dangerous weapon in the hands of a fool.
Reducing the ISK generated in high-sec will cause temporary deflation because sales taxes/brokers fees are self-adjusting ISK sinks (as prices/demand falls, the amount of ISK lost to sales taxes/brokers fees also falls. The inverse is also true - as prices/demand rises, the amount of ISK lost to sales taxes/brokers fees also increases).
Because we are only removing ISK from one location in EVE, and not equally across the board, we will NOT see "pure deflation". I.E. the distribution of wealth will not remain the same. Because high-sec loses ISK, high sec residents will become relatively less wealthy. Because low-sec/null-sec does NOT lose ISK, they become relatively more wealthy (their buying power becomes greater relative to high sec residents).
Thus what we will see is that high-sec PvPers will find ships more expensive will low-sec/null-sec PvPers will find ships less expensive than they were before. This means that high-sec PvP (e.g. wars, can flipping, etc) will become less prevalent while low-sec/null-sec PvP (piracy, sov warfare, etc) will become more prevalent.
So you see here, if we nerf ISK generation in high sec, EVERYBODY wins. Carebears don't get shot as often and low/null sec see more pew pew. The less risk-averse will move to low-sec/null-sec which fills up the empty parts of EVE. What is there that is not to love about this change? |
