Ice mining increased during an event focused on ice mining?

In other news, CCP discovers water is wet.

This is like complaining the weather channel is reporting snow during winter. It’s their job, and it’s not always snowing during winter. If you don’t want economic analysis on an MER, then don’t read it.

So glad prices are finally crashing. Ships are ammo. So why is the ammo made of hand etched gold casings with polished diamond tips?

I’ve noticed a contradiction in Sinks and Faucets chart. I see 2379T total isk amount at the end of December 2025. But in the beginning of January 2026 there is already 2595T total isk amount. What could have happened on New Year’s Eve?
