This is complete non-sense:
Keep in mind that low residue prices means that people like miners can actually profit or at least break even due to not having to pay much for MU on amps. Mining isn't like hunting where MU on a gun is spread out over each shot where you maybe only have to 101% MU per shot for limited. EPs/residue actually did balance some parts of the game out better as much as we'd love to see higher MU for mining returns.
Ill go by points:
- Keep in mind that low residue prices means that people like miners can actually profit or at least break even due to not having to pay much for MU on amps. - False - Buying amps @ 114% and making profit was not that hard with resources selling for 130/150%. Only the scared money does not see that oportunity and prefer to play unamped for maximum gain xD
-Mining isn't like hunting where MU on a gun is spread out over each shot where you maybe only have to 101% MU per shot for limited. - Is it not? Then what do you call the filler resources? And most importantly my question to you. What do you do with them? (Kaz, Edres, Lyta, Copper, etc etc) simply TT at 100%?
-EPs/residue actually did balance some parts of the game out better - The only thing this BP leveled was the resources and metal residue value to the ground. Check launch date of them and crash of resources/metal residue MU. Coincidence??
Most crafters can use an ALT account to produce metal residue for them coming from TT now... No need for for gathering resources to produce one of the bloodlines of the game. How dumb is that?
But please provide some examples of a good thing that BP brought.
Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but I don´t agree with you on this. It seems We are on really opposite sides. Its not so much a higher MU on resources Im looking for. Its more of a logic to play. A full circle of activities that make some sense and are not simply pissing money away.
I, for myself would much rather pay 114% on amps if there were more resources at 110, 120, 150%. With my eyes closed, all day long!!
Unless you prefer to play a flat 5% downswing game, mining TT stuff you cant sell for enough MU to survive if you put on top decay of finders/extractors/refiners (thinking about lyst/oil here, what a f**** goldmine MA has there.....)
