Naturally, this thread will be hijacked by the null sec zealots screaming "nerf high sec!", but does anyone at CCP, who is not part of the null sec cadre, have any idea why plex prices are out of control, and have numbers to back it up?

Supply and Demand.

Less players supplying, more players demanding.

This is so easy. Next question?

I'm not at CCP, and I am a nullsec zealot screaming "nerf high sec!", but I'll answer anyway:

Highsec PLEX'ers driving up the price with easy AFK mining isk. Smile

I know there's a lot of people that are going to take issue with me on this... but let me tell you what I think.

I think by Feb 1 2013 EvE is going to have well over a million accounts (DUST players coming in)

I think PLEX prices are going to be over 750 mil ea by mid December.

I think both of those estimates are conservative.

My advice? If you need PLEX to run your account... buy now. It's going to get crazy.

PLEX prices have never been out of control.

It's totally NOT the faction warfare people exploiting at all. It MUST be the miners.



Obviously, CCP has already done something about it, they ran a special on plex prices. I have no doubt they'll do it again, and soon.

You would say that wouldn't you. And brrrrr...... wrong.

For mine, the ones complaining are the ones not doing the things that allow people to have enough to buy plex. Simple.

BUT

There is a more sinister concern that supply has actually gone down. THAT would be something we need to worry about.

Anyone got the numbers?

OP is just making everyone want to go out and buy PLEX so that the market drops and he buys them all up and flips once we no longer have any.

I'll bring supply back up, lemme know how many needed.

Just meet me in Amarr space.

Yah I PLEXed out both of my accounts to late 2014 a few months ago anticipating this. I was hesitant to go out so far because I wasn't sure if CCP would even last that long, but having played the DUST beta now I am really sold. It's going to be a very good game... and will have more depth than any FPS anyone has ever played. I figured the probability of CCP pulling it off was pretty slim, but now it looks to me like they've got a winner. The market implications for EvE will be profound. This game was long overdue for a big shake-up, and I really think we are going to get it. There's going to be ample opportunity for EvE players to get rich on the changes, but there's also going to be a lot more competition across the board. Now is the buyers market for all things EvE. The sellers market is going to explode after the winter expansion and when everyone in EvE knows what DUST is bringing in.

I <3 crazy Dinsdale threads.

Hearing the great Nullsec Zealot <> CCP Conspiracy he concocted about my hobby just plain makes me giggle.

I expect this will end in an EVE themed Alex Jones style documentary eventually.

I will watch it twice, once while drunk.
