Fanfest is the reason.
Next year buy additional plexes earlier for that event to cover gametime for the months when PLEX prices hit the roof.

Should hit 1B per plex. What else do you want to do with your free fast income? -stock pile it?

Noes, I want it to hit 1B so I can burn a lot of internet pixel spaceships for a few RL moneys. Besides, if you have nothing else to do of your journey even at 1B per plex you could still buy at least a good dozen per month.

Seems that the player "drive" to have PLEX at less then 400m was a succes Twisted

MATH WARNING:

Titan = 80 bill
Plex =400 mill = 15$

Titan 1 = 80bill/400mill * 15$ = 3000$

Titan = 80 bill
Plex = 500 mill = 15$
Titan 2 = 80bill/500mill + 15$ = 2400$

Not sure if intended method was planed by CCP but directly affecting how much $$$ a titan is but....

(warning flowing text might contain fail logic)

1.) titan costs lov $$$ you dont buy it form Isk sellers you buy its with plexes (affects everything)

2.) temporary rise since a lot of accounts are on plexes do to initial low cost and now we are having peasant wars where people who make less then 2 bill a month are killing each others superscription slowly until an equilibrium is reached again and enough people cancel obsolete accounts.... (selling chars does not decrease number of overall accounts)

3.) random thing due to my grandmother going to the store 1 hour later then usual

4.) big boys are dooing it on purpose...

it you ask me i think its 4.

even our newbies can make like 300m isk per month per character running pi in 0.0 and with slightly higher skills that's more like 500m/mo/character, so...

/care

sucks for the rest of you though...

Sorry there. Month of gametime is $15. Plex is $20. For everyone grinding isk and "playing EVE for free", CCP earns $5 more per month than from a regular subscription.

yeah failed logic, if you buy PLEXes from CCP you introduce those plexes to the market and their value slightly dips, If you want to inflate PLEX price you go directly for Chinese/Russian BOT isk.

So reason for inflated PLEX price is Quote " Chinese/Russian BOT isk." end quote..... alto trit still cots 3.?? isk a unit.... roughly same as last year and year before that...

Sorry... that part of my logic is correct..... Plex inflated price cannot be blamed on overall inflation price cause the whole economy is not inflating.....


It has to do with plex itself.... It is the source of an event not everithing else causing it.
Dynamic model....

It was unavoidable due to the fact income levels for the bulk of players (highsec dwellers) have been steadily going up due to various changes and improvements made to the game in the more or less recent past, and the general population has been taking advantage of it more and more.
Solution ?
Nerf "easily accessible" and grind-based highsec income levels.
In particular, incursion income, but also to some degree L4 mission income, and a tiny bit also PI, but only a tiny bit.
Most of the other things are fine.
If you do, PLEX price will come crashing down as less people can easily afford to pay that high price.

It's just supply and demand, afterall, and you can't exactly regulate the supply of PLEX directly (although the bulk purchase discount offers were a small step in that direction), you can only nudge the demand at a given price level.

Wow nullsec PI sucks.


I could make more but I get to touch my planets for two minutes a day and haul once a week this way with an amount that fits in a T1 hauler. Did I mention that part?

Still seems low.

I have 2 alts (extra toon slots) with 8 days of training (iteron 3 with T2 expanders, CCU4, IC4, RS1) making about 600mil each. Takes about 2min total (mostly the time to log on and off twice) to have them import/export their stuff each day. Every 4 days about 20min to move raw materals to the factory planet. Haul out every few weeks.

Oh it is a wormhole, so my exit jumps around. But on average I get a nice exit once a week 10 or fewer jumps from Jita to get the best price, without having to haul it up from nullsec in a jump freighter or anything

Did I mention that? (sorry couldnt resist).

Either way, its all nice mostly passive isk
