![]() ![]() ![]() Thing is… I wouldn’t lose any of my Hel, Aeon, Nidhoggur, Apostle, Lif… Or my pirate capitals and super… or literally any of the other several hundred billion of assets I have, that I can liquidate at literally any time, because, you know, it’s wealth, not just riches. Here, lemme put it in clear terms: I currently have about 5b in my wallet. Don’t kick it in the balls.ĮDIT: Oh, and just as a point… the biggest problem with the ‘wealth tax’ you’re proposing is that it isn’t one. Knee-jerk reactions are a)the majority of human reactions, and b) exactly what you need to be worried about here. When he loses a full day of working toward that ISK because there are jackwagons out there who do have 100T sitting idle on the money supply graph, do you think he’s saying ‘oh, well, proportionally I’m no further behind that dude with 3 faction titans’ or do you think he’s cursing up a storm because what the hell did he do to deserve getting set back like that? The guy who’s got limited play time and is in his first 30d, running missions that pay out absolute crap and is scraping everything he can do buy his first destroyer? The guy who had 100 Trillion is mad about losing 5T, but it’s not actually impairing his ability to do jack. The guy who had 100M in his wallet is minorly inconvenienced to find himself at 95 million. Among other things, people tend to not know where they are, ‘proportionally’. Nobody says ‘oh, hey, I’m in the bottom 20%, I can’t afford a new car’, they say ‘I have $20k in the bank, I can’t afford a new car’. Human beings don’t look at their wallets in terms of ‘proportionality’. Reading through the rest of your post, it’s important to repeat that if all ISK in the entire game, from every wallet, was taxed at the same rate, then everyone would be proportionally the same in terms of wealth. IMO, That’s still too much risk and too many recources for far too little gain. It’s certianly not going to stop any of them…īut at worst, changes could bork the agency system for other items - a minor risk perhaps, but it still needs to be considered. Ice is already shown in the Agency tab, and scannable Ice would force changes with the agency system - or it wouldn’t, and the agency tab would still tell you where the ice is, you would just need to go there to scan it down.Īt best changes to how ice works wouuld add a few minutes getting a fleet into position. The fleet already needs to scout for a good system to mine at that time. Since while icebelts do spawn in the same systems, they aren’t always available or are nearly depleated when a fleet forms (or logs on…). Personally, I think that the work and the risk of messing something up inadverdently is greater than any benefit such a change might have, because… Perhaps, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.Īnd the system ain’t broke just because you don’t like it. I’d even say they are not worth mentioning. Since they add new random anomalies and sigs in basically every event (and even have added mining sites in the past for events), the resources to to make this change can’t be that significant. If anything, it’s probably a bettr idea for CCP to accept the inflation that’s gone on over the last 20 years and do things like increase mission payouts and tie those to some baseline economic indicator, like making them X *. But I also don’t think EVE’s economy has come anywhere close to recovering from the Scarcity hits, and I don’t know if it can handle a significant system shock. Personally… I don’t know how it plays out. Or do people just stop buying things, stop risking ships, and we end up with a production glut and the economy starts to tank as people react the way they did to the sudden price increases on capitals during the industry overhaul and scarcity? A percentage of all ISK in the game just gets straight up deleted from all accounts/wallets on regular intervals to counterbalance the growing supply.Īnd what happens then? Do prices drop because people don’t have the money? They’d have to drop across the board, which means small miners stop being able to make money. ![]() This is why I suggested previously that CCP implements a wealth tax. ![]()
