Yes, carriers/supers became more efficient. My hypothesis is people were reactivating accounts to take advantage of it, then CCP jumped right on it.

Yes…exactly. Carrier/super ratting allowed for easier farming. When word spread, people started reactivating old accounts. It is alot like lowering the price of PLEX in terms of its effect.

Think about it: if PLEX prices dropped IG (say CCP announced a permanent price reduction for 500 PLEX from $19.99 to say $14.99 we’d see a drop of prices in game) then we might see a similar spike.
