PLEX going up because CCP conjures ISK, buys PLEX, then trashes them.

I totally agree with the above statement.

I'm trying to figure out a way to prove this is happening, without actually having access to CCP logs....

A large buy order would be somewhat suspicious because it would be too visible to those on the market. Fulfilling sell orders, on the other hand....

If I somehow bought all the PLEX in the game, and put them up for sale everywhere, I could watch for suspicious patterns when characters bought them - or alt-names that seemed 'fishy'.

But as with everything involving alts, the alt could easily deny being associated with CCP in any way, and you end up right back in tin-foil hatville.

Its kind of like proving a bot is involved in RMT - except in this case the 'botter' is CCP itself. Not likely that the logs will show anything, without being assisted by a 'inside' whistleblower.

Hi,

I think this has been taken to the point of no-return now.
A CCP Employee has told you that this is rumour mongering and patently false and the thread has descended into bashing and the like.

If you think there is really a valid argument here then I suggest your next step would be to raise it with the internal affairs team, internalaffairs@ccpgames.com

However, this thread is now locked.
