so PLEX horders want to make additional 200+m off desperate ppl. and push it further yet.

so why buy and abide their greedy games? Don't buy PLEX for isk unless you can afford the ridiculous prices.

well... lets calculate how much now NeX items costs in ISK... XD


Literally
4500aurum = 100million
100million = 1/5th of a plex
1 plex = 4500 aurum

If this rebalances there are huge profit opportunities.



isnt 1 PLEX = 3500 aur???
then follows...
1 PLEX = 500 mill ISK
1 cheapest boots are 1000 aur
so 1 boots are 143 mil ISK

well i like it... ill sell my items that i bought... :)


Yeah your right - show how much thought I have put into investing in NeX items.

It may be supply and demand. Only thing that drives the Eve economy is supply/demand , and speculation, which is just a derivative of the other 2.

But it does not change the fact that some of us may be in dire straits. I cannot afford to pay for the game with real world currency, and have paid for my accounts with in game plexes for over a year on my 2 accounts. Given the current price increase trend, I may simply not be able to afford to play the game soon.

It is truly Adam Smith's version of economics.

Ladies and Gentleman, Plex prices are sitting on 499 sells in Jita. Who will be the first to buy for 500mil?


Let's get that sucker to 600, which is the price point where I just work a Sunday and buy 5 GTCs with the money to sell for ISK.

Come on scrubs, break open that wallet!


So what are you trying to do that is worth working 1 day a week to spend on Internet spaceships?


well you already work 7 months out of year to live in "modern society"

several 100s years ago you worked 1 month out of 10 to live in "society"

I am not going to discuss my personal life in an open forum, but the short answer is yes.

Hes not alone. Our CEO is retired and his wife refuses to allow any money to be spent on a silly internet spaceship game. Fortunately he likes making isk and makes 6 to 10 billion a month.

I can afford to pay for the subscriptions, however, spending 50+ dollars per month on a videogame is pretty ******* stupid IMO.

I already dislike the idea of subscription games. Eve is the only game thats made me cave in and pay monthly. I would consider 15 a month tops. That is close to 200 dollars a year for a videogame. I could afford a couple more accounts, however i chose not to.

The only reason i have alt accounts is because i can fund them with PLEX. However, this is going out the door fast, and will only result in lost subscriptions for CCP.

Someone (or alliance) can just keep buying the cheapest sell orders and selling them a bit higher, anything below their price point, buy and put at it.

I would not be surprised if a coalition is behind this.

Why? How much do you play and how much will it compare to other activities in $/h. I burn $50 easily on quality beer one night out with my friends.

Disclaimer: I currently only pay for one account with € but could afford more if I wanted too.

Sorry but if you pay over 50 dollars monthly for the same videogame? You are extremely irresponsible with your money

If you have an entertainment budget, of say $250 per month, and you stick to that budget, you are responsible with money. How you spend that budget is completely up to you.

I've already canceled a couple accounts over these asinine prices. I figure by the end of the month this will be only account I keep open then by end of December swtor will be out and that will drive the final nail in my eve coffin.

Came trying to sympathize with people upset they can't fund their fourth alt with plex; left disappointed.

SWTOR is to EVE what rabbits are to airplanes, little one.

As for the rest of you, welcome to capitalism and the free market. Deal with it, you don't have a "right" to 320 million plex just as I don't have a right to sub-100 million isk recon ships.

Suck it up.
