He has gotten better as he's been exposed to the EVE economy for a few years, compared to the first and second fanfest presentation this one is excellent. |

I'm not surprised by those numbers at all.
Oh, every dedicated EVE player knows that... However the _numbers_ involved are surprising, however...

Even if the individuals are much worse off.
Back in beta I felt the initial prices were good, and that increase in the general prices levels was bad and would never really work. Been in the back of my mind all this time, but when I hear the numbers it made me realize this is already ******, even if I never bothered to do the math again.
Basically FPS-style merc battles are high turnover of ISK, and normal play ISK/hr between the two need to be much lower. Currently it's about 30M/hour, while DUST is about 600K/hour. I'd say a 1/100th would be more fitting. |

Tony Calif wrote:How much of it was AFK farmed?
Doesn't matter, cause when I AFK farm it's always less than half of the players at best.
So basically the average is not significant, the 600 trillion ISK number is so high that there would need to be an order of magnitude less non-AFK ISK coming in to change the argument. |

You divide that 600 trillion by that number of players:
282 199 159.235
So the claim is that, on average, EVERY SINGLE Dust mercenary character has, on average, gone through nearly 300mil ISK apiece.
Except you need to consider that there's a _LOT_ of players who try it out for a day, or a week or two and then quit.
I'd say cut the 2.1 million mercenary number down by... first 20% (cause of same-account alts, a very low estimate compared to EVE due to the nature of DUST players), then consider that probably 80% or more just quit since it's a "bad game lol".
We're looking at more like between 2 and 3 billion per dedicated player thus far. |
