Maybe I should blame NeX. When we ask for people to donate their kernels, the answer 90% of the time is "That is my primary income".
This means: 100+ players if not more are selling kernels on open market, whether the corp desperately needs them or not, for the NIC.
I hear time and time and time again from beta island players and "communist corps" that "NIC means nothing". Now you have a wave of players who think "NIC means everything". So suddently these alleged piles of cash you guys Scrooge McDuck dive through: http://post.cloudfront.goodinc.com/Embe … mcduck.jpg
... has meaning again.
Unless it is all a load of bull****, and none of you are as rich as you claim.
Edit: And let me add again - "not putting on the open market to support the enemy" then crying there's no one to PvP is as counterproductive as it friggin' gets. SUPPORT THE OPEN MARKET === MORE PVP.
