Do we contribute anything to the Eve Economy. I thought about this question.
If I turn all the tec1 crap into ammo to kill rats. Then I get more tec1 crap to make more ammo to kill more rats. It's just feels like an endless loop.
I've grown fat & lazy from mission running. I salvage-build a few rigs-which get sold. They get put on ships which then get blown up-probably. I honestly do wonder what mission runners really contribute to the Eve universe as a whole. I wonder if it is better to retire from mission running with a big pot of ISK & do something productive like kill minimatar in a faction war or something.

I agree with you. I contribute nothing. I'm just getting richer by the week. I made 400 million this week from farming AE-it's all those useless Tritanium bars-they sell well but I'm too lazy to find out what anybody does with them. I've got to run AE tonight for the last time to kill general "get on my nerves Tigio or whatever"- he's been ganking my Kronos when I salvage the last set of wrecks-he's going to pay tonight.

Market for Battleships and faction/t2 gear Contribute minerals to the market and salvage for rigs Contribute to the T1 trading economy, though not to the building of said items, it's true Faction loot via the LP store Mission standings for datacores are vital for invention Mission standings for high sec POS

Thanks that makes me feel wanted. I've started to sound & feel like Marvin the paranoid android.

Yeah, 15 bucks a month, or thereabouts.
If you want to contribute more, then help people out, make the gaming experience of other people better. Still more? Game Development, Features and Ideas forums, come up with something good AND viable.

This. Since when are people concerned with "making a difference" in video games? If you want to make a difference at something, go outside and do it in the real world, rather than trying to login and do it. Games are for fun, and missioning gives you ISK to finance PVP ships and side projects. If you're doing it to change the world, real or virtual, well, you're doing it wrong.

Just feel warm knowing that all the t1 loot you reprocess puts another miner out of work. :)
A mission runner is far more valuable to a corp than a miner is because you provide of source of minerals the corp can buy from you and your bounties can be taxed.

WTF?! Are you crazy man?! The bad guys are camped out there 24/7! The older I get the more gimped my 'Warp Stabs' are and escape is less and less an option.
And unlike CCP, the SAPD will not make them flashy-red and will WTFBBQPWN me if I come out shooting. I don't get kill-rights or aggro unless they come INTO the station (code named: Mama's Basement) to gank me!
Maybe I need to train Cloaking but that skill is unavailable here.

Money doesn't grow on trees.
It's injected into the economy through npc bounties and agent rewards (and a few other minor forms). If it weren't for mission-runners, no new ISK would enter the economy. Play the Celeste Lottery! |

Edited by: White Ronin on 13/07/2008 04:44:28 Damnit Man! You can farm Serp Extravaganza for weeks on end, never missing a beat in the dance of isk but you cant follow through and delete the isk cow you love so well. I was going to do it also, once I saw you gone. Had the candles burning and the incense in the fat ceramic budda-guy just WAIT'n for the chance. I thought it was 'time to make the cool aid" as many religious friends have so politly pointed out and given me the recipe to. But could you do it? No. So... its back to flying that crappy raven around Dodixie and feeling empty. You had your chance. I was gunna use the g**** too. Damnit boy....
Edit. Oh goodness. the word for a purple fruit used to make wine is partially classified as ...um... bad. That is just too funny. That really does make something inside Ben Franklin and Jesus die a little. --------------------------------------------- "There have always been ghosts in the machine . . . random segments of code that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols.

Not much actually - except some named loot, minerals and the like.
What you gain: you pass time and hopefully enjoy yourself while getting rich. When you're sick of missions, you have some skills and really should join a pvp corp of some sort to see if find that amusing.

Edited by: Raul Watanabe on 13/07/2008 11:35:31 It seems you lack imagination when it comes to the possibilities of lvl 4 missions and their loot / LPs / minerals
If you send me 500 mil i will show you how to double your income / potential from your lvl 4 missions, im not joking
I contribute plenty, feel free to contribute as well

Missionrunners have significant overall impact on EVE economy. For more details I would reccomend reading economic devblogs.

mission runner also contribute to high sec lag, lvl 4 hubs are overcrowded
mission runners buy faction battleship and fittings, which otherwise wouldn't be much too popular.
mission runners equals half of eve

I think I know where you're coming from - after a point, we're no longer consumers. I've been using the same Ishtar for well over a year now, and the only thing I have to buy is T2 ammo and the odd drone now and again.
While we may not consume much, we do supply! Through salvage, reprocessing, LP, and loot, we keep the community supplied with things that can't be sourced by any other means. We also give ninja salvagers something to do!

Lighten up, Francis.
It is a game, and by the way, the Eve Economy only exists in a fictional setting so it will not matter one iota how much you contribute. Jeez whatever happened to just playing a game for FUN?

Originally by: Pteranodon Do we contribute anything to the Eve Economy. I thought about this question.
Of course they do. I have a mission running alt that runs Level 4 missions. I use the bounty and salvage to buy equipment for this character to kill other mission runners in High Sec. The people I run with then sell the loot drops from the mission runners on the market so that other mission runners can have their stuff.
That mission running alt serves another purpose has a cov ops pilot with good scanning skills to help me find those mission runners.
I love my mission running alt. I wouldn't trade her for anything.

Ofcourse mission runners contribute to the economy.
All the Tech 1 loot mission runners gather can be sold at high prices near trade hubs (Jita) wich are being sold to most likely Tech 2 manufacturers. They also get quite a lot of named modules that a lot of people need for their ships. And ofcourse there is the LP store, most items aren't available anywhere else except through mission runners (f.e. Raven Navy Issue, CN Invul Field, CN Hardeners/Amps, CN Cruise Missile Launcher, CN BCS, ...) Most salvage materials are probably coming from mission runners. Even the corp itself will earn money from a mission runner (bounties, rewards)
But in the end.. running missions should only be for getting your wallet up for PVP. Doing missions all the time will get boring...
To answer the OP: If you really have to reprocess all your T1 crap just to buy missiles then you are doing something seriously wrong

Why does it matter really? We all pay our monthly fee, and try to have some fun. How the others play don't really mean much to me at all. Eve economy is very much unrealistic anyway, so why worry? For all I know, my wallet size is increasing everytime I play; more ships are being built/sold; more sp are trained as time goes on. After 19b isk and 51m sp, Eve hardly change much to me at all. Play game for fun and don't worry too much about other things unless that is what you considered as a "fun" thing to do.
Do some pvp if you like but mostly is boring when dealing with lag. 1v1 and small scale pvp are very rare nowdays, so there isn't much difference from killing npc in missions. Especially when you met those nano squads... Yeah, player ships fight back but it still comes down to lock and shoot. Ship setup for pvp follows a standard which is just like mission setup standard. Different purpose but not whole lot difference at the end. Wish we could use joystick to fly ceptors/hac/frig, would make Eve a lot more fun.
