Sure, but why punish it…especially via Dev fiat. If other players want to do it that is one thing. But Dev fiat to punish player behavior?
Your formula is useless.
I am only talking about risk in the game. IRL there is risk from a variety of sources–e.g. weather. In game, it based on what the player does and how those around him react.
No. This is an example of reification.
Clearly that is possible and why is it a bad thing in that is the direction CCP wanted the game to go. And why is this a bad thing? Goon space is crowded, you can go there and get a fight. Poke them and they will respond.
Again…here we go through the looking glass.
On one hand people complain that NS is generally empty. You can through much of it and not see anyone or if you do they are docked up. But down in Delve we have a region where if you find a system with nobody in it that is the exception. If you go roam around down there…you will likely end up being chased around by Goons.
And it is not 30,000 players, but pilots. The actual number is probably far smaller.
Uh…no.
This map says, “No.”
The entire western portion of the map was CFC/Imperium.
The “big blue donut” was in part due to this map. It is far, far easier for two entities to negotiate and bargain than 200.
The mining made no ISK though.
And again, the ISK supply has been pretty flat for 4 months.
Again, no. The MPI shows an upward trend in mineral prices.
And are some time series…
Those are for mexallon, tritanium and nocxium respectively. They look fine to me.
Bunk, nobody needs to PLEX anything.
Nobody needs to do this.
So what? Who cares. Pay with RL money. Seriously, do you not understand opportunity cost? Why would anyone want to spend hours of their leisure time grinding for PLEX vs.paying via RL currency earned at a job. In advanced economies the typical (median) wage is about $10/hour (after taxes). So for many, after a days worth of work a player could, in theory, buy an entire years worth of subscription.
Why would I put myself on this endless treadmill when I can simply get off of it and instead have vastly more time for doing things in game I like and also more time doing stuff out of game?
PLEX prices have been fairly stable since about August FFS.
Do you even look at the market before posting? I posted the price history of PLEX in this thread.
Notice that PLEX prices started rising right around the time that PLEX went from the old 30 Day Pilot License Extension to “nuPLEX”.
Oh, and the price has been pretty stable since the end of August. Seriosuly, you might want to periodically glance at the market and the numbers to get a sense of what is really going on vs. what you think is going on.
In regards to the market you are simply wrong on just about every count.
That was actually limiting content and was leading to the map up above. You have not made even the slightest case that something like that is happening here. In fact, CCP and others noted that those changes would promote local dominance. In other words, that was the desired effect.
