This just shows how much isk is out there and needs to be a bigger isk sink. Who ever is playing market games with plex is starting to tick me off.

I have more space likes than you.

Well I just spent a couple billion on buying BPO's from NPCs if that makes you happy :)

looks like its time to consolidate the toons I want onto one account and sell the rest... I remember when a 90 day GTC cost 380 million isk

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Look at the volume. Volumes have dropped significantly over the past week. It's very easy to push the price either way with low volume, both in real life as on the EVE market. That's why you never trade stocks between Christmas and New Year's...

I wouldn't scream manipulation by CCP yet. It's much more likely that the only people buying PLEX are people who are then selling the same PLEX at a higher price since there's not a lot of people actually playing EVE thanks to Skyrim and the other games just released. Once people come back and start buying new PLEX from CCP and dropping it on the market you'll see it come down very fast as the speculators try to dump their PLEX quickly to avoid huge losses.


This is just wrong... :| The volumes have not dropped at all. IF they do start to drop prices will come down. The market fixes itself and you will have to pay what ever the market says you have to pay! :D

You need to get out of 0.0 and start running Incursions in Hisec like everybody else.

I think, ultimately, this is the real issue: incursions.

I have 5 accounts. Pay cash for them all. I also buy 2 or 3 GTC's a month to buy my shiny stuff. So we are talking a couple of hundred a month to play EVE. But I make $800 a month just for carrying a pager that only goes off twice a year.
So what the hell, there is no way I'm grinding just to make ISK, if I rat, do incursions, missions, etc it is just for fun... And since I fly solo and suck at PVP I lose lots of ships but meh, it's all fun for me...

And for those who would say get a life go outside, I'm quite disabled and I'd give it all up to have my health back. EVE stops me from going insane with boredom. Well EVE or some game I might be playing...

I made a pretty easy 100 mil off of it, so I beg to differ :P

The prices of PLEX are high because people are paying those prices.

There are two ways the price will come down:

Price gets too high eventually and demand drops.

Someone is hoarding them in game and they decide to flood the market suddenly for some reason. The main reason I can imagine someone doing this is to harvest investor tears.

CCP are not going to intervene because they must still be selling loads of PLEX because demand is high

Considering that Eve is *all* sky this seems to be continually true if these forums are anything to go by

You know, price of subscription hasn't changed if you pay by credit card.


Yes, but I do have better uses for the money than to use it on spacepixels.


Yeah, instead you'll invest time right?

That was in 2007, so? Killing 1 titan was a big deal back then too.

Yes, and it was also harder to make more then 20-30M per hour (if you made 40-60M per hour out in null-sec, you were looked upon as a minor diety). There's a lot more ISK sloshing around EVE's economy now.
