hey @CCP_Bee , can we finally end all that mass-multibox semi/afk / botmining in the HS Icebelts?
Please split up the ice amount into smaller signatures and anomalies, randomly spawning througout the cluster, so they are available and attractive for smaller, mobile groups of newer players instead of feeding them all into the pockets of some 20-account massmultiboxer logging in his Orca+Exhumers a few minutes after the belts spawns in always the same systems, clearing them in record time? Thank you a lot for making your game better…
I would be curious to know if this is actual recovery - or caused by the large number of mining objectives in the Theatres of War event? In which case it will be temporary… and would partially explain the mineral price going down, since I’m sure quite a few people are just trying to get rid of the event mined minerals as fast as possible because they are scattered all over the 4 corners of the map.
I wonder if the devs keep statistics about how much ISK value is identified and confiscated due to RMT, and how much real-life $$$ that might be sold for in cases when that is known (such as for example when let’s say a streamer auctions something for “donations” in the open public or other some such hypothetical scenario).
Being a regular listener of the Oz Report, Oz warned that there is too much isk in the system which brings a risk of inflation and other secondary effects. Is FC working on additional isk-sinks?
when gankers hit ships and those mission items are blown up, killmail does not accurately show exactly how much they lost.
little doggies and prostitutes are 48 million to about 50 million each, for example. Sale price dipping as low as 10 Million each.
for reference exotic dancers are what 480,000 to 520,000 on the high end and big doggies range from 2200 to 2 million.
when those items do not drop they are isk sinks. when they are sold they are isk faucets.
but contracts doesn’t even work right I have not been able to buyorder EVER any item not in my hangars. And when reported the FC employees said you cannot buy and sell mission items, then they closed the ticket. I laughed whilst crying a river inside. because buyorders need to work better. contracts are an intense part of the economy and lore wise what make the Intaki space the main rival to Jita. Better black market.
we cannot see that in game due to CCP programming not correlating justly with the lore of the NPC groups and so forth.
we cannot go buy dryweed in harroule cannot go buy Blue Paradise in Amarr, or farm equipment in amarr. or mining equipment in ORE. or poison dart frogs in gallente space or freed slaves in amarr or minmatar space.
as a result people need to run missions, and sites and keep the items. Which is cool.
items not dropping from ship kills is not an isk sink, the isk used to purchase that item is still in circulation if it was purchased from a player
ship destruction in and of itself is purely an isk faucet due to ship insurance payout
similarly your statement that selling mission items is an isk faucet, this is only the case if the purchaser is an NPC, if it goes to a player then it is circulating the ISK
I’d like to think the seasonal summer slowdown has “eased,” but the anecdotal experience from my corp is that this slowdown has been one of the deepest and most resistant to easing in recent memory.
Our Jita gross sales income is now at one third its pre-summer average. Given this period coincided with a “major expansion,” I am concerned.
