What Caused Abundance and Player Boredom?

EVE Online's Self Imposed Economic Collapse - How Money Works

A few years ago the galaxy within EVE Online was facing a problem. Abundance.

An abundance of materials, an abundance of fuel, an abundance of high paying income sources, and an abundance of safe space to harvest these materials, fuels and space dollars.

Now while that might sound like a really good problem to have, (and it would be in the real world) It does cause some problems in a video game.

The biggest problem simply being that is boring.

Try playing GTA 5 with god mode hacks turned on, after punching some fighter jets out of the sky you are going to get bored pretty fast, and people WERE getting bored.


The largest groups in EVE online were up until recently playing a game of “build as much as you possibly can so it becomes almost impossible for any smaller group to ever catch up”.
