The game has gone downhill since you haven’t had an economist on payroll. All of the things we are suffering right now during this scarcity era are a result of problems created that an economist could have foreseen and avoided. IDK how I can make this any more constructive and less ranty so the hall monitors of eve don’t lock my thread. But, please don’t lock my thread this time. It’s a genuine suggestion. Kthx.

Hiring an economist would mean spending precious money on a highly paid expert when the same salary could pay multiple people to design more F2P cash shop “features”. Your suggestion is probably accurate but unfortunately wishful thinking.

How would an economist benefit the game?
