Wow... So as a player who uses plex for game time I am kind of concern Shocked Prices are now just shy of a billion isk for a single plex Ugh

I plex 2 of my 4 accounts... I have to spend a fair amount of time "Working" in order to do this... I really don't want to spend all day "Working" in order to do this. I like eve; however I don't want to get burnt out on isk farming and get bored with eve. I have already seen this happen with some friends who have more than one account who plex all or some of their accounts.

So whats the big deal? Why are people jacking the price of plex Cry

Is there some hidden push to remove the f2p plexers or partial plexers from eve?

Am I the only one who feels 820m - 1bill is too high for a single plex? (and yes there are plex on market for a billion)

Plex prices are not a thing that CCP generally controls. Who are you ranting at, exactly?

This post will end well, likely locked like the other Plex price threads.


Probably players are buying and sitting on them waiting for prices to rise higher to make an easy profit creating an artificial demand and higher prices, of course at some point the market for Plex will start to cave in on itself.

If you sell your Rage t-shirt to another roadie, you might be able to afford your next PLEX.

I want to set up a service where I pay other people's subs for 6 or 12 months in exchange for 90% of current Jita PLEX buy order x # of months.

CCP make it happen.

You say you plex 2 accounts.

If PLEX goes to 1 bil per PLEX, to keep PLEXing those 2 accounts you would have to make a whopping 66.6 million isk every 24 hours over the course of a month to buy plex for those 2 accounts. You can make that amount of isk with 1 cruiser sized ship and some drones semi-afk in null sec or a battleship in lvl 4 missions in high sec.

Get into an incursion fleet do TWO HQ sites per day (30-35 mintues total) and boom, you just plexed 2 accounts

Yes, it be the Devil's number of isk, but it you can't make 66.6 mil a day, you shouldn't be PLEXing at all.

Then don't plex the accounts? I'm guessing you have 60$ a month to spend on a game

But if we all stopped using alts, we could be forced in to using the dysfunctional group mechanics and watch the whole thing come off the rails.

I hope Plex hits 2 billion if it clears out some of the lazy in ISBox EVE.

Plex prices are going up because there are more Buyers of plex then there are Sellers. End of story. Nothing else. It is really just that simple.

You think its anyones responsibility to make sure you can afford plex every month? It will always be sold at the highest amount people are willing to pay for it.

Also, last I checked it was about 3.6 bil on serenity so I don't see what your problem is. If you won't buy those plex someone else will and the wheels will keep on turning.

I sure don't. I plan to sell my stock once it hits 1.1 billion.

There's probably small antimatter on market for a billion. People sometimes put things on the market for ridiculously inflated prices. Although if someone were to accidentally buy it, the money wouldn't go to the person placing the sell order. Instead the guy with the lowest sell order would get a rather unexpected bonus.

You do know that you don't actually need 4 accounts, right?
