This is going to be incredibly punishing for new players. The little guy will have no catch up mechanic to reach the isk equity the vets within the big alliances hold. ISK will go further after these changes so all the trillionaires will be even richer.
Deflation makes the rich richer, it’s the last thing we need. Controlled inflation is healthy for any economy whether virtual or not. Stop obsessing with creating an ISK deficit within the MER!
This won’t create conflict, nobody is moving 20+ Keepstars to a new region for a 120% ratting multiplier.
I suspect we’ll see this:
- Blue alliances swapping regions periodically.
- Main alliances swapping regions with their rental alliances.
- Region trades between alliances
- Continuation of the blue donut.
This assumes that 1 alliance ratting in their space lowers the ratting multiplier for that alliance only. If it lowers it for every alliance blue or red to them, then this will simply lead to stagnation, but only this time with very little ISK making opportunities for the little guy.
What happened to the carrot we were told to expect? This is ■■■■■■■ bollocks.
The game needs null sec conflict drivers which this is not.
