Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Or you could by a 60-day time code block through your favorite Eve website, fly to Jita, convert your time codes to Plex, sell the Plex for 1.4 billion isk and invest that isk into something that'll improve your gameplay and current isk per hour ratio. At the same time, you'll be supporting a site or Eve blogger you enjoy.

any one who thinks that plex price will get lower is delusional.

as long it's posible to manipulate the price people will do it ... way not to leave the item for it's natural flow ...


insted of leaving it to people to have fun with it, puling the proce to xxx%!


we can see it right now, 750m+ !? lol it use to be much more stable when it was on forums.
right afer it was on eve market the price was bulting up, much faster.

and now it's racnig to 1b ^^

make people wona put the plex on the market to sell it or use it, insted to stack pile it to make money, bacause you can be sure the price will keep building up!

bump

removal of plex = less isboxers which would be a win in my eyes considering mmorpg's are supposed to be games you play with others not for those who want to play with themselves. It would also mean less players playing the game since theres a large portion of the player base from what I have seen who cringe at the thought of paying with real cash to play or begging their parents to pay for them.

lower sub costs would be nice and help a few more to come and play however a certain point comes with that and that is the players mentality and if they believe they are getting enjoyment out of the game to warrant continuing to pay the sub fee.




I have no idea why you believe that however you'd be wrong RMT mostly occurs in games that are f2p which also offer the pay2win style of play that a lot of players cry about which is why that market is there and RMT sellers take advantage of people like that cos they want to be just as special. This game is over 10yrs old now and the only way RMT ever came into this game was due to CCP's ability to throw out free trials however with the removal of that CCP would be cutting off their own hands so that would never happen. This game has more than enough easy ways to make isk in the game even for beginners.

with regards to the ops request no ty all items should be able to be bought or sold exactly as they are currently.

Quite a few players both pay a monthly fee (one off) and every couple of months buy a plex for that month (with ISK), if it becomes every 3 or even every 4 they have to wait for a free month, they will give up and CCP loses the money they would pay on the paying months.

The rise of plex, will hurt the bottom line, but it is not through rage quitting or big decisions, it is more where people just can't be arsed. I am not sure that CCP realised the size and importance of the "Can't be Arsed ™" mechanic. There's Black White and "Can't be Arsed ™" most decisions in this world fall into this category.

There is no such thing as a free market (as exists in the innocents imagination) every government (other than failed states) implements protection against monopolies and cartels, in the currency markets, when speculators try to drive a currency wildly up, they get Massively burnt when the central bank floods the market to bring it back. (usually it is the innocents following the Large speculators as they have already profit taken)
Only when the speculators hold more funds than the central bank (as in developing countries) can this get wildly out of balance.

CCP employ a professional economics expert. you would need to be a swivel eyed loony to believe that this is a bubble that will never burst.

And when it happens and the price drops to around 400 a cry Of HTFU and cheers will resound to the wail of tears from the losers. But the Big Speculators will have already got out and it will be those with a few Plex, Hoping to get rich quick,who get burnt.

Maybe the prices are going up cause people are making those fancy new skinned ships...

Maybe the prices are going up cause people can train their alts on the same account...

Maybe the idea of supply and demand are actually working as intended.

Take off your tin foil hat. There are no speculators.

the price was roling up very fast way before those changes got into the game ...

Youa re delusional. No one not even that rich russian excentric dude can control the plex market by sheer "havign money" Why because plex supply is infinite!

CCP will not deny selling you a plex just because other guy just bought 100. HTat means there can only be shortage of plex by excessive demand compared to supply, not by someone cornering the market.
