Would be interesting to see how much of the (mineral) inflation has to do with the relatively recent political upheaval in the drone regions, eg. it would be nice to see whether there was a drop in the drone goo being imported to jita and how it correlates to mineral prices and in extension to goods prices. It seems to me non-mineral related goods (implants, rigs, datacores, etc.) may not be experiencing such a harsh inflation, or at least are catching up very slowly. Plex is a different issue entirely. |

I beleive somone already drew the correlation you are indicating: http://jestertrek.blogspot.com/2012/02/abcs.html
Thanks, I somehow missed that one. Still no hard data though, but the conclusion seems logical. There probably are "issues" on both sides of the supply/demand dynamic. |

You both missed his point. If what you are currently doing steadily loses value relative to the overall economy, what you are supposed to do is change what you are doing, not do more of the same.
If everyone and their dog did only belt ratting, mining would suddenly be quite profitable etc.

So the rise in price of PLEX from 300M ISK to 480M ISK is merely a spike in mineral prices due to null sec wars?
Skex already touched on this, plex prices are a special case since they are linked to RL currency. I'm not completely sure they are the best indicator of an inflation. How do you define that anyway? Does it really hold for all goods across the board indiscriminately? I haven't seen much evidence on that so far. And if not can it be called an inflation?
(If you assume value Gëí isk price in the wiki definition of mudflation posted by Liang, you get the same thing as inflation.) |

This is silly, people being more "rich" just means people are flying more expensive stuff and will be less risk adverse.
Basically agreed, but I guess not everyone would like to scale down back to cruisers to do any pvp in (in case mineral prices go boom). That perspective also directly invalidates the old argument of "cheap minerals are good for pvp" .
Skex Relbore wrote: But what about CCPs 13 fold increase in the money supply
Could you or someone else explain to me that graph? I am really at a loss here. What exactly is the money supply there? Is it the accumulated liquid isk of the entire subbed population at the given moment? If so, what are the units? Or is it perhaps calculated per capita? Again, units? Or is it weighted (by what and how?) and thus dimensionless? I tried to ask this at the blog comments and even got a direct dev reply, but he only directed me back to the somewhat vague eve wiki definitions.
I also agree that we just don't have enough data yet to say anything definite (and even then it is not clear if an inflation is such a bad thing - buff to mining anyone?). |
