...hoarding weren't possible and trading were limited?

As if, for example, no single character could own more than 12 PLEX at a time. Including sell orders, and with buy orders automatically fail or be cancelled if they would bring the total over 12 (if/when filled).


Not suggesting it, but curious on the market experts' opinions.

What impact would it have? Would it be good or bad for the game as a whole?


Full disclosure: I don't buy, sell or use PLEX myself.

You'd get the same stockpiles as you see now. People would just move them back into the redemption que, and its unlikely CCP would want to restrict the number you can purchase. Best case would be that they put a throttle mechanism into how many/often they can move in and out.

Assuming it was an effective mechanism to control the holding of plex as an investment, forcing immediate sale or use, then you'd have shortages periodically. The price would crater and spike seasonally, perhaps weekly, or daily. Not really good for the game unless you just want to cut off your nose to spite your face.



Sounds like a great way to encourage malinvestment.
