Nor do they drive the demand for PLEX to be purchased from CCP. This is objectively wrong. And if you do not understand why, you are lacking knowledge at a fundamental level and I will not bother addressing anything else you have to say. Please take the time to educate yourself on this. > [@Natocha\_Daisy](#): > > Btw where do I find the monthly economic report? > [@Monthly Economic Report - April 2019](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/monthly-economic-report-april-2019/159409/): > > [The Monthly Economic Report for April 2019 is now ready!](https://www.eveonline.com/article/prg4uv/monthly-economic-report-april-2019)[The raw data that makes up this report can be downloaded here. (26.50MB)](https://web.ccpgamescdn.com/aws/community/EVEOnline_MER_Apr2019.zip) For deeper understanding of the indices used in the report, please have a look at the following explanations. Mineral Price Index (MPI) The Mineral Price Index (MPI) shows the price changes in all eight minerals used to produce ships and other items in EVE. The weight of each mineral in the index changes each month is based on the relative trade values … These are posted to the forums and the official Dev blogs each month. Should be fairly easy to find. > [@Ms\_Steak](#): > > VNIs just got a nerf - +10 sig radius (makes them tank way less in 100mn ab fits) and it lost its drone speed bonus which makes them even harder to AFK. This is also wrong and shows a lack of actual experience using a VNI to rat in anomalies. The Signature Radius nerf and Drone Speed bonuses removal are primarily PVP focused nerfs (not that I expect anyone here to really understand why). These nerfs do not affect the way the VNI rats in combat anomalies (+10m Sig doesn’t change that much when receiving damage from rats) and the drone speed bonus (while nice) does not contribute a significant factor to income (because your drones don’t actually move that much in combat anomalies). Also, neither of these “makes them even harder to AFK” you can just as easily walk away from the keyboard with a VNI before and now after the change. > [@Natocha\_Daisy](#): > > Are you serious? > > So the only way to reasonably make tiny amounts of isk by repetitive strain injury null ratting just got a nerf? It didn’t get a nerf. If you believe that it is, you haven’t tried ratting for yourself with a VNI because you will notice that there has been no change. The same fits will still tank against the rat damage easily (even with +10m Signature radius) and the same fits will still deal damage against the rats easily (even with the removal of Drone speed bonuses). As for the rest of the discussion, I would stop engaging with @Elena_Laskova. They are missing some information at a fundamental level and you will just be wandering in circles trying to explain basic concepts. It’d be nice if we could stay on topic and not get derailed just because one person doesn’t know what they’re talking about. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/0-0-anomalies-and-vni-why-aint-nerfed/160045)._
