Worked before without issue, and Star Trek Online and other games with near official gambling with lockboxes or ingame dabo tables never seem to cause any issues. ---

Do you not know what “ISK fountains” are? I said to reduce those…that does not need to be explained. Same goes for resources…this is not rocket science. ---

I’m assuming you mean a direct nerf to incursions, ratting, missions, invasion/sleeper NPC buy orders, insurance etc. Instead of harming people’s gameplay, why not add more sinks? A great sink would be an NPC casino. ---

Reduce the ISK paid…Reduce the frequency…reduce the spawn-rate… Resources would be the same…reduced belts…reduced respawn rates…reduced ore counts… You know, just generally reduce everything. ---

That won’t help, all that will do is encourage the creation of more alt farms. ---

Of course this is about NS… More alt farms, while they have their own issues, are FAR more preferred that the gush of ISK coming out of NS… **Reduce…it’s just that simple ™** ---

Sorry, but alt farms is not the answer. In fact that’s the reason for all the excess ISK and Resources currently in the game. But that’s getting off topic, as for this thread topic, currently CCP won’t implement Gambling into the game right now. However since PA is the new owners, it may just happen in a future expansion. ---

> [@DeMichael\_Crimson](#): > > Sorry, but alt farms is not the answer. In fact that’s the reason for all the excess ISK and Resources currently in the game. Never said alt farms were the answer…I was just replying to your point. No, the main reason for excess ISK are the Rorq fleets and PvE farmers in NS. The latter being a fountain and the former being the base needed (ie core resource) to build fleets/supers and other such goodies. Reduce those and a chain reaction will start that will see NE revitalized… ---

The OP is right about one thing, what’s really needed is another ISK sink. The Blackout and the Invasions won’t destroy enough and I doubt the newly increased taxes on Market sales and Broker Fees will have much of an effect either. If anything, CCP should probably look into maybe selling War Bonds or place a levy on all structures and call it an ‘Anchor’ tax. Lore wise it could be implemented to help fund the war effort against Invasions. ---

Come on, are you serious? Reducing a fountain won’t remove the very large pool sitting at it’s base, only a sink will do that. Each farmer has an area they operate in and their farms bring in a specific amount of income that’s generated each day, week, month, etc. If CCP reduces the resources, the farmer will just increase his area of operation and create more alts to make up for the difference. They’ve been growing and getting fat with ISK and Resources for a long time now, it’s cheaper and more economical for them to just increase their alt farm instead of going to war, which is the reason for the current issue. Anyway, this is getting way off topic and out of respect for the OP, I’m done debating this with you. If you want to continue this discussion, create a new thread and post your ideas to ‘Reduce ISK and Resource Fountains’ there.
