This thread lasted longer than expected - especially considering the absence of "(don't lock)" in the title.

Maybe this one is different.

Maybe this is the one that gets a sticky and will sit atop General Discussion like a god, for all time.

And WE, the chosen few....were immortalized on the first pages......

How would you feel then?

And I will simply laugh at all the people who brushed it off as a hopeless, soon to be locked thread, and failed to post.

We have advanced from beating the dead horse to full-on unnecessarily forceful intercourse with it.

The larger point here is that your feeling is not just wrong, but stupidly wrong. It has no connection with any kind of economical or financial reality — in or out of game. Instead, your feeling goes counter to every single fact and rational idea on the topic.

Your feeling is that CCP does something that makes them less money in order to earn more money… somehow. This is stupid of you. Your interpretation is that CCP locks threads because they don't want to be “revealed” as reducing their income, rather than that people get fed up with the same stupid idea (or just pointless uninformative rant) being put forward over and over again. This is also stupid of you.

The simple fact is that CCP does not try to artificially inflate the PLEX price. They don't do that because it's bad for them in every way to do so. The ones inflating the PLEX price (and very naturally at that) are the players. They also don't try to keep anything contained or locked away from discussion (as demonstrated by the open thread on the topic that you didn't deem good enough) — again, it's other players doing that, but for completely different (read: actually rational) reasons.

Eh, I have a feeling that most of these threads would burn out on their own.
You know, die of old age, from poster disinterest. Threads do that you know.

And if not, well, it seems people want to talk about the issue then, so let em talk, its what the forums are for, right?

Like a kid picking at a scab, ISDs are only making things worse by making a big deal about it.

It should be against the rules to post 'in before the lock' and its variants. Those posts are even more redundant than the threads they're posted in.

Very good book. Doesn't change the indisputable fact that your “feeling” is stupidly wrong.

and I love it when CCP does underhanded stuff, makes the game feel more lawless.


Disclosure: the ingame price of PLEX means nothing to me. Because reasons.

But if you confuse CCP being underhanded with the game being lawless then you need some fresh air and sunshine bro.
Ingame lawlessness is part of the fun, if the game company was taking people's money and providing no game, or committing some other breach of law to do with money or property, then they'd be out of business very quickly.
So yeah, good troll or take more vitamins.

I bought 12 plex today (from CCP) on an alt in Jita. Sell price on market was just above 807mil. So I underbid the price until it got down to 787mil (a couple sold for higher). Once I got down to 787mil they all sold. The point here? Player driven economy, and actual plex value right now has not hit 800mil yet.Take the tin foil off.

Wow Thread is still going? Figured It would be locked up by now.

You Miners think you have it so damn tough.  When I first started playing we didnt even have mining lasers.  You had to fly close to an asteroid.....pop a hatch and gnaw at it with your teeth.   - Bitter Vet
