Would that be a fix for plex prices going through the roof, seeing as players have way to much isk'es in pockets, make game time paid for with AUR maybe 7500 to 10,000 AUR for game time seeing as AUR is expensive this lowers isk floating about so people will have to spend isk more wisely.

Anyway to add there are far too many market manipulations going on and it tells me that there's way too much free isk floating about.

I could have sworn I saw this exact same topic from the exact same poster elsewhere very recently.

CCP losses when people get ticked off "Greed quiting", Dont take my word for it, heck you cant take any ones word for it, I clearly remember a HALO of people closing down accounts when AUR was introduced and some are still shutting down accounts do to their dislike of CCP's AUR initiative.
Players lose out because this will become another outlet for real money laundering, because bots and RMT on large scales only hurt the person trying to play the game as intended.

Another option is to take out PLEX ingame item altogether and just make it outright AUR only, but then you would have another wave of rage quitters?

I dont know, I just dont think the options on the subject are worth investing time in, I just dont see a massive win situation from the current facts and my past experience playing this game.

Yes, i wrote in somebody's forum post a similar thing. The main problem has become too many players with to much isk wanting to out do, out buy, to own sooooo much isk they are now doing everything they can to manipulate the markets, (see price of isogen), every time its some new market manipulation making things ridiculous now im for a free market but a free one not made up by some greedy monkey who wants to be the next Bill Gates in eve to give their ego a boost, im a trillionaire....i have 100 trillion Zimbabwe dollars...that's where the value of isk is heading.

Not every item is being manipulated. I would say a very small % of items are being and if prices are being driven up.

You say there is so much isk out there and then complain plex costs so much isk? Isn't it relative to the isk availability?


I am isk poor compared to many players, and I see nothing wrong with Plex prices, Market manipulations are fine too since people are smart enough and able to work against it.

Stuff can be mined or made so what if prices are driven up market forces should be realigned to take advantage of that, and if it is such a short term manipulation, don't buy it or pony up the extra isk.

Free markets should remain free Keep Government (CCP) regulation out of our markets!!!!! lol

Yes, i mine and build almost anything i need, i buy when prices are normal so when prices get manipulated there's 0 effect to me, but when you get artificial bubbles made by mega corps and pay to win players it becomes problematic for all. But hey, if people spend real money to buy plex just to manipulate prices so they become eve zillionaires fine.

On the contrary, most items are manipulated or are recovering from a manipulation.

Either way, making this game easy is not the right direction, at-least that's my personal opinion.
