At least in EVE they aren't bailed out with tax payer dollars. By that score EVE banks are vastly superior.

Sorry I forgot your the guy with the eve diploma.
I I only mentioned earlier.
1. Isk sink due to pvp (good)
2. Isk sink due to tax (good)
3. Professions around isk transport (good)
4. Add complexity (good)
5. New opportunitys for scammers (good)
6. A way to disguise money transfer (good)
7. Impact on trading behavior (not sure) local markets might get stronger.
Sorry I didn't mention this early dr. Prof. Eveology aka the smartest guy in history.
Why is an ISK sink always "good"?
Everyone says there is massive inflation in Eve....is there? Yes, I know a battleship costs more than it used to, but then again didn't CCP change mineral requirements? To evaluate inflation you need to factor our price changes for non-monetary reasons.
Where is the evidence of high inflation which would suggest we need more ISK sinks?
Even looking at the various price indices CCP puts out I'm not seeing it.

Frankly, this presumption that we need more ISK sunk out of the game strikes me as dubious at best.
Edit: Also, keep in mind CCP uses a chained Laspeyres index which is probably going to be biased upwards. So the deflation in the game suggested by the graphs may actually be larger.

Obviously adds complexity, but the question is if it would be good complexity or bad complexity. In a lot of ways, I think it would be good complexity. Would add a lot of niches. A lot of opportunities for conflict. There's still the option to ignore the complexity at the cost of higher taxes. It would need to be implemented very carefully to not ruin the game, but I think the idea has merit, even if the OP is a little trollish.
It is a horrible idea in that it makes markets less liquid and less stable.
And this near religious view that we need more ISK sinks when in looking at the actual ******* data there is deflation in the game. Here is a hint: an economy can handle both small degrees of inflation and deflation, large degrees of inflation or deflation on the other hand are incredibly destructive.
We do NOT need more ISK sinks. Not at all. There is literally no evidence to support this. None. In fact, the evidence is that we need more ISK sources.
