Also supply and demand define the PLEX price, CCP has no hand it it.

Not true. Well, the supply and demand part is true, but CCP can lower the price of PLEX by having a sale, thus increasing supply, or by not adding additional uses for the PLEX other than game time, thus reducing demand.

The influence that had was next to insignificant in the past.

Hi All,

First I am not asking for sympathy but to hear me out.
I have to get this off my chest.

I first start playing in 2004 then the prices on plex were very little.

Now 2014 prices went from 650 mil in beginning of the year to 875 mil (in Amarr) these days.

I have 6 characters, I am diabetic and have another illness I will not mention.
I can not work anymore because of this and have to do it with welfare so it is out of the question to buy plex online for real money.
I am mining to get isk together to buy the plex, now if you buy a plex online with real money it is about 15 euro/dollar and it has been for a very long time.

So why raising the plex prices on the market to an insane high amount it is just ridiculous.

I am forces to stop playing as I can not get that sort of isk together, not with 1 account or with 6.

It seems people are getting more and more greedy.

My account expires from 20 days to 50 days. if the prices has not dropped I have to find another game to keep me busy.

Cya ingame, fly safe and till the end of time.


They didn't have PLEX in 2004 sir. And you're not asking for sympathy, but you go on about your medical conditions?

Is your second illness allergy to work by any chance?


Are you related to Iain Duncan Smith by any chance?

Ouch that's harsh, IDS is a sanctimonious tosser of the first order. Having been on the receiving end of his policies I can safely say that, like most of his colleagues, he has no idea how the other half live.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

What's really interesting about threads like these is the assumption of the OP that everyone reading it does not play the game whatsoever and can't possibly know how easy actually is to get the ISK to pay for PLEX-es. It's the same reason why threads like these are locked either for ranting or non constructive criticism, depending on the actual tone of the post.

And no, PLEX didn't even exist in 2004. It was introduced in Quantum Rise, November 2008.


glad someone else noticed ... i was thinking this was clear indication of fib's being told in the OP somewhere along the line ...

(aside from not understanding the whole Supply and Demand thing).

That said ... it is a fair point to notice how high prices are so suddenly. Wonder why it's 'suddenly' so high. One would assume less availabe, thus less people spending cash to get them in RL, thus prices rise ... but is there another reason. Affordability is only one part. Maybe it's just that more and more people arer buying them now, seeing as PI alone gives easily 600mill per account per month ...

I'm going to have to start making this my signature.

OP: You're doing it wrong. I don't know how you make your isk, but you're doing it wrong. I could tell you how to do it right, but honestly I'm tired of people whining about plex prices.

Have fun in whatever F2P MMO you end up in.

There were no PLEX in 2004.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

17. Redundant and re-posted threads will be locked.

As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.
