    100 million for a Typhoon.
    150 million for a Tempest.

    Holy gobsmacking fuck.

    As someone who just started regularly logging in after almost five months, this could be utterly brilliant. Actual ISK sinks when paired with faucet nerfs, yeah? Have these kinds of prices changed anyone's tactical doctrine as far as anyone knows, or are you all still riding high on your billions?

    Well, yeah. I sold all my battleships. I have a few enyos now.
    Contract stuff to Seraphina Amaranth.

    As can be seen from the first graph, mineral prices actually started falling sharply after the release of Escalation and fell even more sharply following the burning of Jita. This is where the bubble of speculation and manipulation burst, as owners of mineral stocks cashed in. However, Hulkageddon has unquestionably served to slow the fall, so mineral prices can be expected to fall further following the end of the event.
    Did CCP miss the memo about Hulkageddeon becoming a permanently funded enterprise by Goonswarm et al?


    Also, why no mention of PLEX price? It seems to have receded a touch in the past few months.

    Who is to say what happened exactly? The resident economist at CCP. Before the last Summer of Rage, CCP promised to monitor PLEX prices and intervene if necessary, which was a vague concession. Since then, they discontinued the QEN, which hadn't been published quarterly in a while besides, and we've heard nary a word about PLEX since then. Why so quiet? They don't appear to be doing anything about the price, so why go to the bother of managing our expectations if you aren't going to follow though? I still haven't seen data on how many PLEX have been converted for Aurum since Incarna, or how many sales of PLEX have been going on month to month. These numbers would be interesting to take in considering they are allowing the purchase of Aurum directly for money now.

    To be fair, I am sure they are monitoring, I just wouldn't expect them to step in with such small blips as 300-600 mil difference. If the plex for whatever reason shot to 2 bil, I would think they would probably consider doing something or other.

    With PLEX prices they have said they don't have a particular price they want it to be, they just want to it be stable
    Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening.
