Well it seems all hell break loose and Plex price are going up and nothing else. Right now
Jita
~100 Plex for sale are left
buy: 521m
sell: 544m

The majority of the Plex are at 544 to 550m, only 24 at 580m after that the sky is the limit. I didn't checked the other hubs but i guess it looks similar.

You all know the Plex volume in Jita is roughly 2.2k per day and all other hubs combined another 1.2k. You can draw your own conclusion but Plex will be soon 1b.

CCP ran out of PLEX stockpiled to restrain the market is my guess.

I guess the cheapskates are going to have to pay their subs with real money.

I don't buy PLEX myself anymore because subbing is actually a cheaper option. And I don't need to sell PLEX for ISK since I make enough money from my in-game profession to keep me going. If enough other players feel the way I do, then it may simply be that the supply of PLEX is drying up while the demand is staying relatively high. Which leads to price spikes.

The whole idea behind PLEX was always that more well-heeled players would buy PLEX to sell on the market for ISK, and in a roundabout way subsidize poorer players who had lots of time but no money. (As the poorer players would grind for ISK to buy the PLEX.) But this was always dependent on a close tie between the cost of a PLEX and the cost of a monthly sub.

One PLEX is now $20 US, while a monthly sub is $15 US. A PLEX costs 25% more for exactly the same service -- one month of gametime. So it's not surprising that US players at least aren't buying PLEX.

Are you sure we can't pin this on the goons somehow? Let me see ...

As the voting reform threads have shown, the CFC needs to have more voters in the coming election. To do that, they're using the tech funds to buy all the PLEX. ALL THE PLEX.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

This is one of the reasons why paying sub is nice. Peace of mind no hassle. Play actively or dont .. all the same.

People aren't buying plex to pay for the account, but to sell on the market in order to get some ISK.
If you buy a plex for 20$ just to add-game-time a second after with that plex, you are doing it wrong. Horribly wrong.

But if you buy lets say 6 plex when they are on sale for about 17.5$ or so, sell 4 on the market and save to for use or sell later, that will make more sense.


And regarding the plex at the moment, either someone with a lot of ISK bought the lot of it so the prices will push way up, and than he can dump them back to the market, or people bought for the vegas event, or a hell of a lot of ISK was just dumped into the market buy FW or null dwellers.

Also don't forget that miners also get more safe ISK now and its easier to pay the bills with plex.
