supply and demand right...so less new players means less plex for sale

....too easy to make isk makes it too easy for bitter vets to keep playing with 20 accounts....

solution get rid of plex so people dont have to worry about it and the people who love the game will stay and those that dont can go

I don't think you know how supply and demand works. New players do not often put plex up for sale. However, more new players who join might want to purchase Plex, creating a higher demand.

OP is being rather ridiculous and completely ignorant of supply and demand.

Plus, oh look this thread again.

I, as a speculator, love high PLEX prices, but also love low PLEX prices . It's all a matter of perspective.

The biggest problem is that PLEX has WAY more uses than just subscription, like character swaps, resculpting and AUR.

If you can separate PLEX from those things and allow them all to still be traded for ISK then we'll be fine.

Wrong.



Wrong.



Pretty much all the people that are playing now like the game. They wouldn't be playing otherwise.

Yes that's exactly what CCP wants. The best advice I can offer you is never go into business, it's not for you.

"CCP doesn't need the income from those 50k accounts that are paid for by plex, that if the player couldnt plex them, they wouldn't keep them."

Riiiiiiiggggghhhhhtttt.

*Note, 50k is a made up number, but is lower than the average monthly quantity traded in Jita alone (~65k PLEX sold per month in Jita)




Considering the fact that it was cruiser tiericide largely that drove the price up, due to an artificially controlled increase in mineral requirements, there is no apt comparison to be made within the American economy.

As for income, income sources are more profitable and more accessible than they were 'when caracals were 3.3 mil'. When caracals were 3.3 mil, faction warfare missions or plexing were not a thing (FW was not out yet). When caracals were 3.3 mil, incursions did not exist. When Caracals were 3.3 mil, anomalies did not exist. When caracals were 3.3mil, Wormhole space was not yet released. When Caracals were 3.3mil, the ways in which a player could make the sums of isk that they can make now, were drastically reduced, limited mostly to running level 5 highsec missions with a good group, multibox ratting, or large mining operations.

But please, tell me about how caracals were 3.3 mil less than 6 years ago.

But when you consider how easy it is to make ISK compared to then, it's not an issue.

I do however recall it being a rather daunting task, to make the ISK for a Moa back in 2004.
