An item that was only available in the NES store before is now seeded.
Intention or just a lack of understanding how this will effect the character/skill trading part of the economy?

Extractors are not the limiting factor when it comes to transfer SP from one player to another.

If you take all the sand out of the box, only the cat poo will remain.

No, but they are a part of the price composition.

Characters on bazaar (with some exemptions) are currently pretty much valued at

(SP - 5,000,000) / 500,000 * (Skill extractor price (SELL) + skil injector price (BUY)). It will also effect PLEX prices as the demand to convert PLEX into AUR for extractors will go down. And this happens in a situation in that PLEX is under pressure already.

And extractor prices were (PLEX / 3,500 * 800) due to the PLEX/AUR conversion rate and the NES price for extractors.

I still do not know whether PLEX should go up or down in price for the sake of this game - bu when I see CCP is doing market manipulation (if it was intentional), I am wondering what is behind it.

Extractors volumes are like 5k/day minimum... this will not affect prices in anyway

Not sure - volume matters of course, but Quafe Zero and Gecko had both 1/5 of the average volume of extractors. I bet there will be an - albeit smaller - effect.

Frostline event dropped PLEXes in highsec, and the world didn't end. It's all about drop ratios. Bear

(Would be cool if detention sites dropped Geckos, btw...)

I heard about 400 sites completed by one player and in that time one PLEX dropped. Who knows how many people have run 40 and never got anything more valuable than Quafe zero....

Who cares how anything (at all) effects the outrageously inflated prices players charge each other?
I don't. Cry about "now I can't charge as much?" Yeah, right.
