eldavojohn writes: "The popular online game Eve Online has just hired a real world economist who has a doctorate. The doctor said, "There's a lot of discussion in the game about inflation and that is my job, to find out if inflation is going on. This makes the consumers behave in a more natural way because they are competing against each other on multiple levels, not only on a tactical level in combat but for logistics and resources. That builds consumer behavior and patterns that you see in the real world." Is this a serious step to keep Eve Online competitive in the virtual land of MMOs despite scandals, Ponzi schemes & scams or is this merely a ploy to make it look like they're serious? Will CCP's developers actually take orders from their new financial chief and introduce money sinks to control inflation?"
