NERF INCURSIONS!

reduce q20 l4s
remove concord from incursions

On a more serious note, I'd rather see them buff isk sinks.

MOAR TAXES.

what like if you want to take the nefarious superhighways you have to pay a tax eq to your ships mass? that way it would be cheaper to either stay in your region or try to be sneaky in low sec?

what like make best l4 q15 or something like that?

I'd say put a tax in low sec also, just because it would be hilarious.

"YARGH, WE BE PIRATES"

"Sorry sir, you can't jump through for the booty until you pay the jump toll"

"argh....."

Assuming majority of generated ISK is from the spawnable sites in null, nerf Sanctums!

Oh wai... already tried that and null emo-raged until CCP backtracked, causing another spike in prices for everyone not botting/ratting in null.

you should read up on CCP Screegs' presentation on botting - 75% of bots are in highsec.
not that i'd expect a cva member to actually rat in their lousy space

You have a link to his stats, the only thing of his I can find is the useless "we are on it" blog with a picture of dried fish. At any rate, I'd reckon the high-sec bots are miners pumping out lowends whereas null bots are doing raw ISK .. damage to Eve from ISK bots is higher I think.

much higher wardec cost, no more griefing a corp for 2mil or alliance for 50mil

Missions already give more LPs than I know what to do with though. I think there should be a LP amount reduction because my LPs aren't worth jack since there are too many LP faucets.

I think this is how real money works, actually.

Nerf all faucets im not interested in or cannot control

I think that sums up everything that everyone has posted so far

I'd prefer a Dust based ISK sink with a real possibility of a return on it.

TBH you have two real choices, nerf bounties or increase taxes (or a mix of both)

a straight up 20% reduction in all payouts, missions, incursions, bounties, could even reduce minerals in ores by 20% too, fuckit screw everyone at the same time

So leave all the same problems in place, just reduce the overall numbers by 20% ... Let's just shift the decimal place over one digit to the left, that'll fix it five times as fast, right?

plus side the rich stay rich, bad side poor are gonna be poorer. oh well

And here I was starting to think you didn't know how bad your idea was.

*armchair economising*

its better than picking just 1 thing to reduce imo. i forgot, add 20% to all transaction taxes and npc costs in station. take more isk out while pumping less in.

plus side the rich stay rich, bad side poor are gonna be poorer. oh well

The problem is that as ISK goes into the economy faster than it goes out, players will forever get richer and richer.

so if isk enters slower and leaves faster your ok with it?

There's more to it than that. The solution should fix the problem without creating new ones. If you disagree, go play ANY other MMO, where they make a habit of creating at least two problems every time they fix one.

and over the last few years its got way way to easy to make isk.

I disagree. While I can agree that certain forms of ISK income are too easy in comparison to others, I think that a healthy increase in ISK generation should accompany any newer, better, and badder struggles against NPCs (high class sleeper anomalies, incursions). The problem isn't that the isk is to easy to get, it's that there's nothing to spend it on. You need bigger and badder ships to run those newer sites anyway, sometimes stuff that wasn't even available a few years ago.

game needs more isk sinks tbh. how many sinks are there vs faucets?

Let the drone drop change and prices run thier course and see where things land. If mining becomes more valuable than shooting rats, the monetary expansion will slow down.

*list of sinks and faucets*

^^ the only good comment in this thread^^

Change rat rewards from ISK AND sec status gain to ISK OR sec status gain. You choose which you want.

That's a pretty good list, and if you ponder a moment and think about how big each of these is, it really puts it into perspective. Well that pretty much explains the ISK flood.

Here, let me explain. When you make a list of the approximate value each faucet and sink has on an average pilot, you see that the problem isn't runaway isk faucets, it's a general lack of isk sinks. Here's approximately what each has been worth to me over the course of my entire career in EVE:

Faucets:
NPC bounties - 1,000,000,000 - 1,500,000,000
NPC buy orders - 5,000,000 - 20,000,000
Agent rewards: Mission rewards, Mission time bonuses, Incursion rewards - 150,000,000 - 250,000,000
Insurance payout - ~100,000,000
GM actions: Reimbursement for lost pods - none (I've only been reimbursed in goods, never ISK)
Character creation - ~600,000

Sinks:
Market taxes & fees: Broker fees, Sales tax - 15,000,000 - 25,000,000
NPC sell orders - ~400,000,000 (mostly skillbooks)
NPC station services: Repairs, Jump clone installation, Medical clone installation/upgrade/station change, Science and industry slot rental, Ship insurance - 50,000,000 - 100,000,000
NPC station office fees: Rent, Impound penalties - none (I don't keep my goods in offices so I don't know what that's like)
Wardecs - 10,000,000
Sovereignty fees - ~25,000,000
PI fees: Building PI structures, Import/export tax (from NPC-owned customs offices) - 20,000,000 - 30,000,000
Corp & alliance fees: Corp creation, Alliance creation, Alliance upkeep, Creating/awarding medals, Corp registry ads - 25,000,000 - 50,000,000
Agent fees: (Certain) LP store items, Locator agent services, Courier missions w/ deposits - ~15,000,000
CSPA Charges - 750,000 - 1,500,000
Smuggling fines - ~100,000
GM Actions: Removal of bought ISK, Removal of insurance after ship reimbursement - ~10,000,000 (a Prophecy)
Character deletion - ~25,000

If you make that into a chart of faucets vs. sinks, it'll look something like this:
Faucets:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sinks:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Now take into consideration that I've never run incursions or high-class sleeper sites, or even very many nullsec anomalies for that matter. Once I get into that in the next year or so, my graph will probably look like this:
Faucets:
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sinks:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There now I made it visual, thanks in part to Tippia.
