Once PLEX reaches 800, I might... might release part of my stock onto the market.

I run quite a few accounts and only plex one of them. I am not extremely wealthy or anything like that but a hundred bucks a month isn't bothering me that much. I feel for the folks that try to grind out the ISK to plex every month, that is a lot of work and you have my sympathy. I do think it is possible that at some point things turn and the price heads down, although it may require a declining player base in order to take that direction. Even then it probably wouldn't last long and would turn upward again.

The only way you can blame CCP for this is pointing out that their bad design choices and laziness have made the game unappealing for newbies who want to buy PLEX for isk.

…or maybe they've made it too easy for newbies so there is no longer any reason for them to buy PLEX to get ISK. Blink

+1 CCP

Excellent form of population control...let plex rise to high levels and the weak and non productive in EvE shall perish.

Hopefully this leads to fewer people clogging up Jita

I only PLEX cos there is nothing useful to do with all that ISK that builds up.

Seems a lot of fuss for what is just a 15% price hike.

Perhaps everybody who's crying about the PLEX price should switch to a subscription instead. It's significantly cheaper than PLEX.

Currently there is no real isk sink except basic destruction via combat or self destruct. taxes and other such (npc taxes) are so small they dont warrant mention.

Ship distruction is not a global ISK sink.
It's the opposite because no money leaves the game, but money enters the game out of nowhere from the insurance.


What about the modules?



/facepalm

money doesnt leave the pool, minor amounts are taken via taxes but by and large money comes into the economy because free insurance gives you money for nothing.

That insurance money has never existed in eve until your ship was destroyed.
Modules are either dropped from rats or manufactured from minerals. AGAIN NO ISK WAS CREATED/LOST

The only isk sinks in the game would be what?

Skill books
LP store
insurance that expires
clones
war decs
corp offices
various taxes and fees with buying/selling
various taxes and fees with renting an assembly line (not sure never produced anything)
high-sec POS charters?

Most of those are pretty insignificant also.
This game really does need some more Isk sinks that effects everyone.

Yeah it's pretty expensive right now, CCP has made an asinine move with their ship skins, but it's not back-breaking right now. This month there have been two or three days where I did any ratting. I also got an escalation I sold for 50/50 loot, which gave me a minor bump, but all said I'm most-of-the-way to paying for a plex while stll having fun in the game.

Plex prices become untenable when Eve starts feeling like a job to play. At that point going back to $15/mo is doable if CCP refuses to step in with price controls. If working super hard to fund alt accounts when I need them becomes an issue, I might stop playing, but that's still a ways down the line.

Good thing you are not on serenity then. From memory Plexing an account costs 2.5B isk.


Yeah .... but buying a PLEX on Serenity costs 60Yuan .. Thats

UK - £5.80
US - $9.50
EU - €7.00

But you are correct when you sell the PLEX you get about 2.5 Billion ISK

I just let half of my accounts run out. Didn't need them anyway.

Anyone wanna trade me 25 PLEX for 20bil worth of random faction mods? I'm too lazy to sell all this crap.

Dear CCP,

When PLEX hits 750m per, I'm done. You may as well just remove it from the game and make subscription the only model.

Nothing can be accomplished in-game on a casual schedule to PLEX anymore. Incursions, ratting, mining, missions. Feels like it is becoming a full-time job just to break even without really progressing.

If 750 happens I will skill out my remaining time and will not return until PLEX has returned to normalcy... reasonable levels.


So what? CCP isn't directly making money off you. They make money off people who buy plexes with real cash and sell them. Higher plex prices mean more people buy plex with real cash. CCP has no incentive to lower prices.

At 400m i thought well it's reasonable i suppose, at 500m I was a bit annoyed at 600m I thought alright this is a bit much but now at 700m+ it's starting to get ridiculous. Not even gonna get into when it was 200m (those were the days). Bottom line CCP Needs to stop adding functionality and stupid **** to the subscription card that a large portion of the player base pays for the game with. As soon as more ship skins start getting added to the AUR store I could see plex hitting the 1b+ mark easily which is too high considering that these skinned ships are going to be getting blown up a lot.


Then buy plex with cash and do your part to lower the price.
