This is a serious question, as I cannot seem to figure out what changed to prompt the near constant rise in price;

Why in Amarr Gods name are PLEX so damned expensive!?

When I started eve in 2009, these puppies were cheap. 350m a plex. Then in 2013, when I took an extended break, they were 550m each. In the 4 years I had been playing, inflation had increased the price 200m isk.

When I returned 6 months later, in 2014, plex was over 700m, and now It bounces between 750m and 800m on a regular basis! In 6 months, it has SPIKED 250m to 300m more than the previous 4 years! And I am at a loss for why!

(ps, I don't care what the Chinese server has to pay for their plex.)

It's all part of how the game is going these days..

With the increased amount of uses for plex as well as the greater opportunities to make plex in the game means a increase in the one thing that isn't created by players themselves..

The people selling plexes want the best price they can get for it, and the masses are willing to pay for it. and as long as that continues the prices will rise further.

If bulk people stopped buying plex in game the prices would fall simple as that

People aren't seeding plexes because it's so easy to make isk ingame that your average Joe can finance his ships easily enough.
