It's a short term fix, but it's still a fix I think.
I'd say that Dysprosium will drop in price, and if it doesn't then CCP have implemented a way that they can easily manipulate the dysprosium prices (simply increase the refining yield of unrefined ferrofluid and adjust the hafnium use).
Not so sure about Promethium, but it might.
Of course both Dysprosium&promethium will still be valuable (at least as valuable as 20xcadmium+production costs) but it will be less of a "money coming out of my behind at a minimum of effort".
It might also stall the current "super-coalitions" as promethium&dysprosium is a major engine in allowing each side to produce carriers&supercapitals like there is no tomorrow. I wouldn't bet on that though. Less funds diverted to the major 0.0 alliances through moon mining = less capitals available for use, which means that it's easier for alliances without dysprosium moons to claim them).
Overall, thumbs up from me. Not a perfect fix. Not even a great fix, but still an improvement over the status quo. |

dyspro and promethium prices going down ? \o/ BOB nerf
BoB isn't the only one that are getting hit by this.
For example Red Alliance have been all the way to Black Rise and Cloud Ring to capture promethium&dysprosium moons.
If it works as intended it's a boost for the little guy and nerf for the big 0.0 empires.
Which is a good thing.

This is the same as removal of static complexes. You are removing things worth fighting over. Static resources are one of Eve's main selling points imo, stop removing em!!!
[sarcasm]Right.
People will suddenly stop fighting over dysprosium moons just because they're in a worst case scenario only worth 20 times a Cadmium moon (more considering that it costs just as much to fuel a cadmium POS as it costs to fuel a dysprosium POS). Thus only capable of financing about 2 carriers per month instead of 6 of them.[/sarcasm]
And that said, people in this game fight because they want to fight. If it's not over moons, it's over ratting turf, bragging/e-peen waving rights.

I have found it always strange that a moon can give forever moon minerals and never get depleted ,like rl mining amine goes depleted once right ? 
Keep the perspective in mind. We've been mining for less than 5 years. There are plenty of mines IRL that kept going for at least a century.
While the mining methods in EVE are probably a lot faster it is an entire moon we're talking about here.
