Huh…I’m a bit disappointed that nobody noticed the rather shocking growth rate in the money supply these last few weeks. It is pretty damn shocking.
Below are two graphs that kind of highlights what I’m talking about…
In the first chart the first red circle is when the growth in the money supply went bonkers and CCP stepped in and in short order proposed some rather draconian nerfs to carriers and super carriers. The second red circle is what is happening lately. As we can see there is an increase in the ISK supply that is on par with what we saw from Mid April of 2018 that elicited a response from CCP. In December we see an almost similar increase in the ISK supply and…nothing.
The second chart shows the day-over-day change in the ISK supply. The first red circle is May 5th and is the largest daily change in the ISK supply with a 13 trillion ISK increase on just that day alone. In December we saw 3 days (the 11th, 12th and 15th) where the ISK Supply increased by 8, 9.47 and 9.51 trillion ISK respectively. For December alone the ISK supply increased 80 trillion (the data covers 30 days). Starting in April 12th and going for 30 days (the time frame around when CCP noticed the sudden surge in the ISK supply and decided to nerf carriers and super carriers) we saw an increase of approximately 93 trillion ISK.
