EVE General Discussion

CCP should inject PLEX at a fixed price to knock the price down [and decrease the amount of ISK inflow per] until the market is back to 300-400M per... for 19.50 RL... that would help CCP's bottom line, keep the speculators in check, and deflate the price of other items as speculation goes down and real production builds back up the supply of other items...

... and consider a fixed max price of PLEX at a point in which it wouldn't allow prices above that price in sell orders and then let the market drive the price under that point... with that in place the PLEX to ISK would even out, and be like a "gold / silver " standard to RL money in the economy and anchor some valuation to PLEX in ISK, and in RL funds.

Someones dead end job cant pay for all his accounts.

CCP cannot inject PLEX because then they lose money.


I think the OP does not understand how PLEX works.

Supply and demand.

Looks like some people need to fork out $ for ISK.

CCP should only inject plex when there is a lack of demand.

My thought was not about subs or cost... no issue there...

But my understanding is:

36.00 (ish - havn't bought on in a while, used to be about 36 USD) for a ETC... which then got you 2x PLEX for like 19.50 (seems the price I hear round...

That used to get you 350M when you sold it.
Now it gets you about double 600+M for the same 19.50... a substancial increase in ISKies.

So it would seem to me that CCP is now printing ETC/PLEX that dump double the ISK on the universe and collecting 1/2 the RL money for it... and it's injecting "cheap" money into the economy... which allows for more "speculation" and less "production" of real economic grown... as Mitten's put it... "bubble"

The idea as I would think to fix this is deflate the ISK per RL dollars, which would slow down the dumping of PLEX for cheap money and bring it back into real money value to ISK injected for it.

And as far as economics goes... don't hold much stock in the current economic "theories" - not going to get into that one, but if you subscribe to them, your an idiot and a gambler, not an economist... anymore than a loan-shark is an investment banker... or a ponzi-schemer is a job-creater...lol.

Gold and Silver shake the fraud out of the system, because you can't simply stamp it out on paper and make more of it, someone has to find it and get it physically out of the ground and bring it to market (real production) and then you can't sell more of it than there is (unless your in the "City" or "Wallstreet" in which case you can naked short it all you want I guess until the mob shows up with the certificates and trades them for torches and pitchforks...).

Putting PLEX to 400M max sell as a price control would keep the market steady and stop the "free" flow of easy ISK into the system... then the other ISK issues could be looked at... but the big thing would be to cut the inflow of ISK from RL by half and slow the economy down enough to deflate the current run-aways...

But again, ETC/PLEX doesn't dump or add any ISK to the game at all.

Selling a PLEX in game only moves ISK from one player to another.

This idea lacks merit.

So you're saying if people believe in math they're wrong?

I mean is that what you're going with? Value = Demand / Supply. Pretty simple.
