The price of PLEX will keep increasing as long the players are willing to pay for it. Therefore, if the price stays at 700m ISK and above it will stay that way because players are able to trade PLEX for that price. Behind this is all about supply and demand, rather than any dark plots.

Anyway, I don't think the objective to pay your monthly time through ISK is something that everyone should aim for. If you spend the whole month farming the ISK to buy PLEX then you will basically be playing an entire month to pay the next one and so on?

Perhaps the price increase could affect the countless alt accounts that depend on the income to pay themselves through PLEX, but again, as long people are willing to pay for PLEX at a certain price, the price will keep increasing.

Would could have caused or fueled this increase in supply and demand?



Price setting in order to deter multiboxers from using multiple accounts. But it isen't an accusation, simply a possibility.

technically, OP is right in theory, but not for the reason they stated. if CCP REALLY wanted to **** themselves, they make money off the people who BOUGHT the PLEX, not the people who redeem them, meaning if PLEX keeps going up in price, more people would buy PLEX, making CCP more money.

Though even if CCP did that, it would be futile since everyone would just buy plex, try and dump it on market, and downward the cost would go until it was back to "normal".

besides, didnt we see PLEX at 750mil a couple years ago? i dont see why everyone is freaking out, economies are hills, not plains.

Considering that even in its greatly diminished state, WoW has at least 15 times more subscribers than EVE, that would be quite a burn "down".


Still, PLEX are rising because more and more players have gotten access to ways to make isk that are (any or all of) better paying, lower effort to do, or more easily multiboxed. And more recently, of course, are the ship skins. That said, visit http://www.eve-markets.net/detail?typeid=29668 click over to the History tab, punch in 1095 days (three years) and hit view, and marvel at how even at 700m prices are pretty much neatly consistent with the average rate of rise over the last three years.
