I have 1 account i pay real life money for and 2 i pay with for plex. i mean 627 million isk for a plex now i remember just a couple of years ago that plex was only 350 million a piece. So why are they so high now, the current price of plex is going to make it next to impossible for some players to make that much isk in a month. Some of the eve community love this game as do i but we do not have the real life funds to be able to pay for accounts.

i guess my question is why isnt ccp doing something about the huge inflation of plex? Make it at least a little easier for players of eve to plex thier accounts.

You could try just having one account, like the poor, starving children in Africa.

It's in CCP's interest for the prices to go up. They are adding new sources of demand for PLEX, including the for-pay tournament.

The result is predictible based on Value = Demand / Supply.

I hope this helps clarify the role of PLEX and CCP's position on their inflation. Cool

INB4L for being disscussed on another thread.

Its called a free market economy, Deal with it or get a better job. Burger King can only pay so much.

Just because i cant afford to plex 3 accounts in rl does not mean i dont have a good job just other things that my money needs to go to first.

but honestly if the prices of plex keeps going up eve online will lose players because they dont have the time or the rl money to play the game anymore.

And then, with lower demand, prices will go down.

It's this whole equation, see. Twisted

And to further add you should have no problem paying 2 plexs a month with 3 active accounts, mining trit alone will get you the isk, unless you the random logon/logoff guy in the corp that's active twice every other month and will only say the token o/.

Here's how i see it
1. CCP has royally ****** this game up to where the little guy gets ****** over

2. CCP needs to fix their **** up and help the new players not the ******* larger alliance who control the game and just cause they are the biggest alliances in the games doesnt mean they get the only voice in this game

3. Fix the god damn plex prices this is stupid just cause you want to earn a few bucks and forget about your player base wow CCP ******* WOW!!!

4 and final MAKE ALLIANCES HAVE A MAX NUMBER *snip*

ALSO I LOVE PANDAS *snip*


EDIT: If you cannot make a point without resorting to such foul language, it may be in your best interests not to post - ISD Type40.

its called a free market. Then someone can buy up all the plex and relist them at much higher prices

Nothing that loses players from Eve can be considered as 'working out well in the end;.
