EVE General Discussion

The Making ISK guide in the Evelopedia can help you there.

The Price.

Why should CCP do something about Plexflation? Higher valued plex = more people will buy it to sell it for ISK.

It's called supply and demand.

If you can't make enough ISK to plex your other accounts, then pay $$ for them. Or, if you make $8 an hour working at taco bell, then let those accounts lapse.

I am in the camp that says plex prices will continue to rise. Itleast until this tourney thing is settled. There is no reason to deflate as there is now a second group who will be interested in purchasing plex. This group has deeper pockets then the average player.

This thread is full of LOL


CCP has nobody to blame but themselves for allowing these self entitled, bleating idiots into this game and then catering to them.

Bring back the days where we could filter these puke stains out at the rookie undock please.

People are richer now, can afford more expensive plex so the price goes up *shrug*
Not exactly rocket science.

If money's that tight, you shouldn't be pissing it away on a video game. That's the essential point. Spending money on EVE is a luxury. It's throwaway money. If you're playing EVE rather than buying food or heating your home or buying clothes for the kids, you need to seriously re-think your life.

Even playing for "free" by using PLEX is a fool's bargain, because you're simply spending time rather than money to play. You have to grind for ISK to buy PLEX, and for a lot of players, that can take awhile (especially since PLEX goes for like 600M ISK right now). All that time might be better spent in RL trying to find a better-paying job or learning new RL skills so you can get a better job.

Perspective.

If I remember good, incursions were reason for big plex price.

Now incursions are nerfed (ccp killed their own work, programmers dont care, they are getting money for what they do not for bad ideas), and plex price is bigger.

Ccp have no idea what they are doing. They failed on pressure from ppl that made lot of posts about inc isk income but they didnt see same ppl are running bots(anomalies) in 0.0. Dotlan shows all.

In this way, eve will loose ppl.

Those lost players are scrubs anyways, no big loss.

Plex will be down again by Christmas; have little doubt. The auctions for the tournament will close, the Plex market will stabilize, and speculation will lead to selling. The market will flood and supply will exceed demand at current prices, the the prices will drop and we'll be back down around 500 million within a month.

It'll never drop back down to 350 million again though; not so long as ships cost this much, which is directly reflective of mineral markets, and minerals selling high means more miners plexing alt accounts to mine more ISK. 500 million is where it has stabilized for now, with just a turn upwards in the market trend for a peak period.

I could be wrong, and there are other factors at play, but all the available means of ISK becoming widely available means more Alt accounts and more demand for PLEX which drives the prices up.

Add to that a huge number of PLEX going out of the market permanently for a Tournament Auction, (min. 640 at buy-in value, which is equivalent to 53 years of game time), and a recent loss of another 90 PLEX in a ship kill, and I'm sure more I haven't heard of, and you can pretty much figure it's going to have a major impact on the market.
