CCP explained that it’s important to change EVE market rules to get a more realistic way of playing according to reel life market.
Regarding different kind of market and asset types I think Commodity market (oil, coffee, gold etc …) ise the most comparable with EVE because of the kind of product.
If we look at some real market example it’s not so complicated to see that
There is no broker fees
All prices are changing several time per second
“0.01” digit is a common rule and sometime it’s more accurate than that with “0.0001” prices
Lol the irony in this comment … Please take a step back and look at yourself. You constantly feel the urge to post tens / hundreds of responses in this thread to to insult and call everyone else’s opinions BS. Your responses are always wrong - anyone can tell you don’t trade and you fail to understand the most basic stuff. At this point most people come here to this thread to humour themselves baiting you to talk nonsense. Your responses and indepth trading explanations never fail to “impress”… not for the good reasons, though
Yeah, I’m not sure what brings so much pleasure to a troll like this. You and others have mostly been presenting good reasoning and posts of substance to this thread. The troll has been working overtime to try to shut it all down for some reason.
Maybe they just want to see the end of EVE and realize that if CCP heeds the folks here, that won’t happen? Maybe they just love strife and troll the forums in search of issues that players are talking about in order to stir up more strife in order to feed off of it.
The markets are looking ‘interesting’ so far. But ‘interesting’ in terms of being a house inspector and finding all sorts of reasons that you’d never move a family into that house.
Removing income sources for the majority of the player base is actually a logical design decision - if your goal is to turn Eve into a “World of Starships” pay to win casual game.
That is not true in eve and not in the real world, what you see in trade hubs are those that play the 0.1 game, the rest are not visible that much.
Competition bring the price down, that is why most nations have monopoly laws.
Less competition ALLOWS whales to control the market. I was able to control the price of couple of specific items in short time-frame before the change, now, IM ASSUMING, and planing to do my thing but at a larger scale with more items. This is due to competition exiting the market and focusing on less items and a opening to new opportunities.
This is killing trading. What is the reason for this change? If its bots, just wave ban them, its not like EvE has many players I barely see 15k CCU and most of them are multiboxing. EvE economics was the only unique feature the game had over all others and you managed to fuk it up. Dear product managers , economy game designers, where are you?
And since you are killing the trading part of the game, which was one of the core mechanics, you can now also kill it with the microtransactions clownfest I get every time I log.
Pearl bitches, learn from CCP, they are wiser than you…
Good bye CCP (The real CCP with the swords on the wall)
They are killing the one true unique game mechanic of the game, its economical system. Then they can start the microtransaction clownfest. Killing diversity playstyle so that less people can make isk for plexing. Good job Pearl, break a game that has been working well for over 15 years…
“Black Desert Online
Informational 30 September, 2017 Red Card: Full of microtransactions that directly impact gameplay.”
…
Who can say if Eve’s new owners will want to implement that kind of highly lucrative monetization strategy, in Eve?
…
And another thing: “Black Desert Online has decided to sell you fake money for real money. But only in a really inconvenient way. You can pay $15 a month and the auction house WON’T confiscate 30% of your profits”
From a station-trader perspective , it is already the case .
On an usual item in Jita , you’ll have an average return of 5% , which was reduce when they raise the broker fee ( from less than 1% to the 3% now) and with the relist , probably more than 75% of your profit go to CCP’s pocket .
I would love to get only 30%
But I really like the link between what the owner does in his game and what CCP seems to follow
My first hint is for any RMT product , the trade change are the most effective .
If you buy plex to change in isk on the market , you won’t feel the change ( except when promotion with the pilling orders) , if you buy plex through BO that should be fine too
But if you try to use the plex market to make some profit ( BO → SO → BO…) there is a clear stop.
I know CCP like good ideas from their point of view :
So why not implementing a new decay factor on all assets for example every month you lose 5% of your stored isk
and to be able to use your ship again pay like a fine for" unauthorized parking" 5% of its price .
BECAUSE that would hurt greatly all bots ; they won’t have the time to sell their sh.t .
There will always be, I am sure, some usefull idiots/trolls …
@Lucas_Kell Why not, CCP mentions that this is the first wave of trade changes in the last patch.
