As such there are usually surplus minerals left over after the industrial process which are of no use to industrialists.
These minerals are the ones taking a nose-dive on the market at the moment, whereas the minerals that serve as a bottleneck in the production process have seen more modest decreases in their value. This is to be expected when we look at the monthly economic report numbers, and see that much of the raw mining value is not exiting the regions they are being produced in.
As long as there are minerals that are essentially useless on aggregate to industrialists their price will continue to fall as production ramps up during peace-time.
Nerfing the Rorqual will do nothing to halt this decline in prices as long as it is still profitable to use Rorquals to strip mine belts. While the Rorqual certainly needs a rebalance to deal with the significant effect it has had on the in-game economy, these current half-measures are unlikely to deal with any of the issues the revamp has caused.
Unless CCP is willing to have a complete re-look at the Rorqual, reducing its productivity may only make worse the problems CCP is trying to tackle. Let your voice be heard! Submit your own article to Imperium News here! Would you like to join the Imperium News staff? Find out how! There has been a lot of noise about this rebalance, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
I know people who invested in Excavator Drones have been offloading them quite heavily. Thus what is balanced for 1 miner is broken for 5, miners, and vice-versa, once it is balanced for 5, miners, the 1 guy is up of shit creek without a paddle.
It used to be better balanced when the rewards for mining in null were smallish compared to other activites in null and the rewards for mining in highsec were comparatively larger, so null imported low-rewarding minerals from highsec. Now that null can mine all the minerals it needs, things are fucked up both for null and high, but hey: surely this is what CCP envisioned.
Or to look at it another way, CCP might have had lets say ten developers looking at the balancing, and how much of an impact the Rorq would have. Tens of thousands of skill extractors will be sold within days of the announcement for people to be ready for this game breaking change. You have to make hay while the sun shines. Had the Rorqual roll out happened with realistic numbers, players could have decided to skill inject into it if they felt mining was a play style they enjoyed.
They have over a decade of economic data and player interaction experience to use to forecast the in-game effects. Yet, they rolled out changes that made the ship stupid powerful on several fronts.
My guess is they laughed all the way to the bank. Fozzie trolled your wallet if you injected into a fleet of Rorquals. So I wonder how many people bought a Rorq. True to form, CCP makes something interesting and useful only to pull the plug a year later. Seriously, does CCP have a clue as to what they are doing.
