So this is the source of the terribly misguided posts. No wonder.
Enjoy the tanking gold price, so long o/
Once you get over the shock, maybe you can think about where the guaranteed value of pixel-ISK comes from and implement it to an improved understanding of the real world (it's strikingly similar to eve in its basics once you look past the backwards illusions and fairy-tales of gold mining and robinson crusoe's coconut barter that you have been reading) |

don't worry, you're just like all of the posters in the thread. it's a load of faith-based not fact-based assumptions and suggestions mostly. sadly like many other religions they attract a certain following and sooner than you know, bad posts are looked as if they had authority. in reality, they just have good punctuation.
with that being said - fix risk/reward/incursions etc. |

do you feel your reaction is different though, different from what you expected?
instead of feelings of victory, i am in fact kind of sad that so many people spew out false theory and others buy into it |

Falkor1984 mate do not forget that there is pretty easy movement of isk and goods between empire and nullsec. could it be that with the right risk/reward ratio (buff-non-hisec!), the hisec bears will trade their isk for actual goods obtained from nullsec! it's like magic.
you should also think a bit more about what an isk sink is, because you make mistakes in your post:
* stuff lost during transport does not remove isk from the game, isk is a number in a wallet, it can't get blown up.
* 'noobs losing ships' does not remove isk from the system, it in fact adds some as an insurance payout.
* incursions also award lp. did i hear lp, like lp store? isn't that an isk sink heh! magic again.
also nerf hisec incursions lololol. |

more money does not mean inflation per se.
there are two kinds of inflation:
* cost-push: happens due to a shortage of a critical resource. something is so desirable that it will be purchased pretty much no matter what, e.g technetium. if the resource is widely used in manufacturing chains (e.g tech) or for transport (e.g isotopes), it will in turn increase pretty much every price. now add speculators sitting on these resources to the mix.
* demand-pull: demand is larger than supply and people are willing to spend more to get what they want. this needs people really going out to spend more. imagine a guy A, he doesn't buy stuff at all. in january he has 1mil isk, in feb he has 1bil isk (he did some l4-s in his sentry domi) - is he contributing more to 'inflation' in february? after all he has 1000x the isk available to him, so he must be, right? nope. |

Cool, i'll sell some of my coercer-class destroyers for an inflated 100M/ea and buy more coercer bpos at.. wait, what?? that's right 7.7M/ea (because that's what they cost from an npc order: a sink, you know, the thing which gives isk value). After that I'll rent some factory slots for 333K/hour to expand my manufacturing operation. i think i'll do it in low-sec, because if I get podded, i can get like 200 new clones for the price of a single coercer. |
