You want to make changes for some kind of perception that the economy is broken.
OK, I get that. But nobody in their right mind would change so many things in such a complicated system in such short order as you are. I already posted a thread with the changes that are happening in the next 7 weeks, and now I read about the elimination of meta 0 items from loot drops. Yes, I recognize this merely moves the wealth from the mission runners to the miners and industrialists.
But are you planning on changing SO many things simultaneously, you will be introducing chaos into the economy. Sure, eventually it will all settle and new equilibriums reached.
But at what cost? How many subscribers are going to throw their arms in the air with frustration and pack it in? You might get them all back, maybe. I would suggest why risk it?
Slow down the process. Change things slowly, iteratively. Not all at once. If a real life economist suggested making all these changes in such a short span in a 400,000 person economy, they would be fired on the spot. No one knows, especially you CCP, about where this is all going to lead. And many of us don't like change and uncertainty. No real life economy does, and Eve's economy is complex enough to emulate one. |

In the last year Tier 2 Battlecruisers have gone from 26 million to 47 million, Battleships are up to at Tier 1, 45mil > 85mil, Tier 2, 75mil > 135mil and Tier 3, 110 > 210mil.
Across the board prices are still rising and while that is fine for power players that leaves casuals and people without 3 accounts playing a much more difficult game of second job online then was previously coined for EVE.
I think it is about time they fixed the economy now before people who don't have 6 hours a day to grind up and leave because all the awesome new Ships CCP is releasing have to be flown with kids gloves because there goes halve your bank if you risk it. |

And who says mineral prices are going to go down, which is what your T1 ship costs are based on? Most of these changes are geared to reducing easy mineral supply, and putting far more of the Eve's mineral supply dependent on human miners. Seems reasonable and fair enough, but what if not enough humans are willing to deal with the drudgery of mining plus deal with the ever increasing risk of gank attacks, let alone what the new ward dec system will do to mining corps.
And please don't say that mining corps can just hire merc corps to fight their battles. Of course they can, but the cost of those merc corps is an added expense in the production of the minerals and will be passed down to the customer.
So don't expect your shiny ships to drop in price by say July. And if they are just remember your comment tonight. |

That depends on your perspective. Once upon a time in Eve you went out and tried to mine all your minerals your self for you first, cruiser, then your first battle ship. Many of the first cap ships were mined by the owners. Despite the greater risk then, compared to now, the population distribution across security sectors is very close to what it has always been.
Perhaps increasing mineral prices by reducing the supply is an attempt to fix, and perhaps your perception needs adjustment as well. |

If they are getting rid of meta 0 items from loot drops, that would be amazing. Stop letting mission runners bypass two professions at once (miners, manufacterers).

While a valid perspective you also have to consider the Bounty and Incursions nerf. That and the fact that Mining will become much more profitable which will help pay for ganking loses.
The number one complaint about Mining isn't a gank but that you can make so much more doing other stuff.

Different world. Now Tier 2 Battlecruisers are the norm and add on's like Rigs and a lack of T1 Balance around T2 Fitting stats have made ships like T1 Cruisers less then viable for engagements. With all the new ships the bar is being set higher and higher with what you have to use to compete.
Back then a T1 Battleship was like a Capital today and Frigates / Cruisers were the norm. Now the field has expanded. The rebalance may help lower the cost of entry level PvP making ISK Costs go down for T1 Ships which might alleviate the problem.

True enough, but I'll tell ya something. Fun in Eve is not defined by the nifty ship, it is defined by what you do with it. It is more fun to get your corp mates and try to do a lvl 4 in T1 cruisers than all of you in pimped out faction sparkle boats.
One of the most fun experience I had in Eve was in Null sec. I fit up a crappy blackbird with whatever crap I could find on the market, all T1 stuff. I joined the fleet and some guy laughed, "hu hu hu, you won't jam anything with that!". Well a few minutes later, off we ran to help some blues save a carrier that was under attack by some reds. In we zip to the carrier and I locked the reds, each one of them, zap. I jammed them all in a cheap little crappy ship. The fleet asked, "Why didn't they shoot? What happened." I told them, "I used my crappy little blackbird." They didn't laugh at my crappy blackbird after that or my crazy caracal stuffed full of tracking disrupters.
You do not need the big fancy pants ship to have fun. In fact, flying what you can afford to loose and not giving a damn is where the fun is. |

Economic Chaos is good in a game. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

This kind of shake-up can only ever have positive consequences in a system that has grown as static as EVE has. Now shush and prepare to make humongous piles of cash!
