Note also the reference to “player driven economies.” That is important.Īnd we all know that how that went. Player driven economies are key to EVE design and we want you to decide the value of traded skillpoints while we make sure there is one single mechanism that brings new skillpoints in to the system – training. It’s very important to note here that this means all the skillpoints available to buy on the market in EVE will have originated on other characters where they were trained at the normal rate. We have, of course, the now infamous past statement from the company regarding skill points and skill injectors/extractors: I mean, sure, we could talk about how asset safety was said to be important to the game, until it wasn’t. What if he isn’t a complete incompetent at economic policy? What if he actually knows what “autarky” means, and that it being “anathema” applies to the whole of New Eden being self-sufficient? What if this was the plan all along? What if he meant “more cash flow” when he was referring to the survival of the game? What if this was the plan all along?īut, is this out of character for him or CCP in general? Would they go back on their much burnished statements about how important the player economy is? Can we find another time when CCP seemed to be saying… or maybe even explicitly said… one thing, then did another? Scarcity stopped wars, got capital ships to dock up, sent people hoarding raw materials, and generally caused a large slump in activity. And, in fact, his plan has gone out of its way to make those play styles much less viable. He has certainly been the leading proponent of the economic changes, claiming they were necessary for the long term survival of the game.īut he DIDN’T say that meant player production and industry specifically. Changes to the game follow his plan, so he must be the mastermind driving this.
He has stated in interviews that he has the last word on what goes into the game.
Now, with that laid out, is time to cherry pick some supporting evidence, and there is nothing more fun that twisting someone’s words to fit your theory.
All great conspiracies take silly, happenstance items and roll them up into a sinister plan dreamed up by an evil mastermind. It is all so simple, so clear, such an obvious solution to the problems that the facts present that it must be true. What could all of this mean?Īnd then there is the great “AH HA!” moment that cements the facts together in a bundle of crazy.ĬCP HAS WRECKED THE ECONOMY ON PURPOSE SO AS TO SELL SHIPS FOR CASH! This is the part in the conspiracy theory where you start to pull together different pieces of data… the facts that are needed bear the weight of the crazy you plan to unload… into a single narrative.ĬCP has hamstrung the economy, reduced demand, made life miserable for both resource harvesters and industrialist… and now they are selling what seems to be one of the ships affected by the these changes for cash in the web store.
