If the economic incentive isn't addressed properly there won't be FW contracts from Eve to drive Dusters to fight. Without the proper economic drivers in place Dust could very well die in the crib. No business arrangement can hope to continue to exist if the parties involved end up operating at a loss. The interaction between Dust and Eve MUST be mutually beneficial to both games. My hope is that the changes that CCP are working on take this into account and Beers is worrying over nothing, but hoping for the best does no good if we don't get the results that are needed to ensure Dust's growth and success.
OK, so what you are HOPING for is a more perfect model of WHAT capitalism is, yet in review of the ACTUAL operations of capitalism it is CONSTANTLY operating at a LOSS. Even though this is the case, capitalism STILL PERSISTS.
I find your logic in this case, especially in the fact that you are talking about warfare, which even in the context of human history HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED at a loss. War has only been profitable to a small number of people and the margin of profit in it is relative to that of a descent restaurant, which is to say running at a profit of 5-10% out of the kitchen at a cost of 20-35% total cost to the establishment for materials and labor, while the front of the house may net a 20-25% profit from the remaining 50-70% of total cost of operation.
The real matter is, like other people have stated, you are basing this off of incomplete mathematical models that are COMPLETELY based on ERRONEOUS ASSUMPTIONS on what it will TYPICALLY cost a corp to provide defense or seizure services on provided contracts in Faction warfare.
Kain and Beers; both of you ASSUME to much, and apparently you have forgotten what assumptions do: they make and ass out of you and them.
The purpose of making this kind of interaction to run at such a potentially low margin of profit on both parts is to perpetuate the mining, wormhole exploration, trading, industrial production, and etc. that currently has grown stagnant in EVE.
Once again the Imperfects have proven their name all to well by their attempt to present an INCOMPLETE picture or what is possible through their narrow vision and INCOMPLETE understanding of CCP's intentions. This is supposed to be a Hamster wheel, nothing more. If you don't like it, get OFF. |
