EVE General Discussion

I have a vested interest in this (unfinancial, as I EAT all myPLEX), and have been encouraging people to liquidate all un-needed assets immediately and buy PLEX as soon and as cheap as they can.

My reasons for this are as follows:
-According to my assessment, the PLEX market has been manipulated by deliberate and concerted hoarding action since last fall, particularly in anticipation of the ISBox restraints.
-Thereafter occured several other strong factors (including PLEX sales, and a dramatic reduction in account activity) that rationally should have dropped PLEX price, but instead, it rose over and beyond these mitigants.
-Part of this escalation had been from incidental smaller PLEX traders picking up on the trend.

Now its ( already well past) time for the rest of the community to step in, especially for PLEX dependants, to insure their sub/investment future.

The reasons for this are as follows:
-The more PLEX that dependant players buy now, the longer they can remain in the game. If they wait, prices will escalate even further beyond their means. DO IT NOW. Prices will escalate whether you do so or not, so get it "cheap" while you can.
-Although its somewhat counterintuitive, as buying more PLEX raises the prices, especially if bought in a short period before refraction, it also squeezes the margins of whatever mass PLEX hoarders are currently operating, as more PLEX is consumed, rather than stockpiled.
-The more non-hoarders (ie: PLEX consumers) buy up and eat PLEX off the market, the more they reduce future demand, which again eats into the hoarders margins.
-The impetus here, as unavoidably (as benefit hopefully to people who need them and buy them NOW) unfortunate as immediste raised prices are, is that it brings the "bubbles" extreme closer to popping.
-The higher the price goes, the more likely it is CCP will somehow react, and the more likely dissent spreads to prompt that.
-We dont know how high the tolerance for isk/PLEX will go. Considering the amount of multihundredbillionaires who PLEX anything and everything, who will continue to buy PLEX even in the billions, the small operators need to get their value out of the market NOW. You cant compete with these guys once PLEX passes your meager income, which for them is incidental.

If you are PLEX dependant, sell everything you wont use/need for the next 6 months, and buy as much PLEX to eat as you can.
Do it NOW while its still relatively cheap. This will hopefully help you tide over and remain in the game till "something" happens, or you can reskill for more income, or find funds to sub. Atleast you will still be able to play.

What's going to happen when PLEX hit 2 billion?

Is EvE going to die even moar???!!!

Oh no. Not really. I'll just keep buying them with real money and selling them for moar ISK.

Thank you to everyone who is supporting my play-style.

Youd be better off waiting for higher isk prices before selling your PLEX.

I mean selling them now is kind of like selling off your Nokia shares in 1995, right before a 5x revenue...

Still laughing at Salvos and Tippia's ignorance. LOLOLOLOLOL

I repeat for the 17th time, If the plex customer base vanishes then plex is worth little. It is important that you go back in this thread and read some of the posts from plex users. Also take the time to have a look at other threads where plex users have said similar things for a couple of months now.

Plex users have said they are having trouble plexing ALL of their accounts, plex sales have been lost.

The troll is obviously on me, and I've fallen for it.

So you still have no argument since you have been reduced to a complete reliance on fallacies to carry your non-case.

…stuff that has been dismissed 85 times.
You only have speculation. You have no valid evidence for any of your claims. You have no logical causal chain to tie your speculation together. As a result, you have no cogent conclusion. You only have a deep-seated wish to pay less for PLEX, and no way of articulating a cogent reason why your wish should come true. You have even gone so far as to report people who point out this lack of coherence in your argument.

Close. You accidentally included the word “on”.

How much quieter would the game be? I don't know and don't care. How many of those people even interact with other players?

This thread boils to people complaining about the price of a fake item bought with fake money...it doesn't get much more first world problems than that. IMO if the game isn't worth $15 (or less) a month to people, then don't play it.



No, the PLEX are still being bought by people that have more ISK.

Doing some google math converting Euro to US$ then dividing the total cost with the cost of plex then multiplying it with the cost of plex ingame yields: 14,342,899,834.9. So you want a titan to cost as much as a super-carrier hull?

Have the Marxists got us a 5 year plan yet?

That's not a bad idea really. Assuming equivalent pricing a more divisible currency would be more flexible. It would also see more speculation though as the price to participate in said speculation would drop. I like it.

Its hard to say where these prices would be in a month. Days of predictability are over. Something snapped.
