EVE General Discussion

simple explanation

ISK is more available than USD (including all pooled isk, that stays in game)

if ISK was harder to get than USD, you would see decline in plex price, 200 mill a plex, 100 mill a plex

I have an interesting and actually good spin on you theory... that CCP might indeed do this, but not for the purpose of greed, but of a clandestine agenda to reset EVE's levels of wealth and materialism into a balanced form from the previous out of control situation(s) that have happened in the past.

There are for the long playing or following some events that lead to vast increases in wealth and materialism in the game by certain parties using exploits (Goons and others, not going to list them all but they are significant and not so rare)... and these left a what was supposed to be a economy of labor and T1 standard stuff in tatters... proliferation of everything shiny was to be had by all.. it lead to a massive boom in all things and good times for all... see history.

But...

I don't think this was ever entended by CCP as the way the economy or the game should be played, or was engineered to be played... it got too shiny to often, and left a massive number of things and ships considered "****, crap, etc." but the base and never used...

Now consider this, what is going on with ship balancing - well balance, and T1 items, it's a plan to put T1 viable again, and I think that is just part of a bigger op. The over all is a universal rebalancing, put the wealth and the market back to squares with the tech and the user base.

Lets consider that if this is the case, it's not the players that lose out, but they win with a more stable and more economical economy and more fun... where a super-shiny 1%er verse is like what happened to Blizzard's D2... it just went to crap... I think CCP is doing the right thing, and also alot of un-seen things to rebalance and retool new Eden to make it viable... so I for one am fine with my one account and while PLEX doubled, my mining ops are doing much better and I am actually able to PLEX doing less time in game than I was prior ot inferno, where it was a "life", now it's a game, even with double cost per month, I can make it and then some... in fact in one month I was 1.6B and a PLEX too boot, or was it two, just from belt mining in my spare time while doing other things on the PC...

I am not much for tin-foil, and so I am going to say this is just my thought on IF your though it true on CCP doing something with PLEX...

PLEX is high because it's RMT for dummies and a hedge bet for speculators.

The bubble will burst sooner than later.

OP's charatcer looks as paranoid as his posts.

Well played.

I am locking this topic for being full of baseless rumor mongering.
