Perhaps there is too much ISK in the game.

But resolving it in a fair way is rather crucial.

This sandbox is about empire building.

THe problem is that EvE not a sandbox. At least - not a total sandbox.

In classic sandbox-game playing community has a full control on production, trading and economics: everything is made by players and may be destroyed by them. Even currency. In EvE capsuleers control just a small segment of cluster's economics. Other is under control of "NPC goverments".

Too many ways for "ISK from nowhere": NPC bounty, sleepers "blues", agentrun and other currency generation. Too many "resources from nowhere". There's no control on ISK mass available to community. So only CCP may control ISK flow in EvE.

10 days of doing what? Blink

As other poster mentioned it depends a lot on skills, experience and game knowledge of the player. Some might need all the month to earn 500 plex to fund another month of omega gameplay. Other might need 10 days, as you have wrote, and there might be others who will earn couple sets of 500 Plex a day - it all depends on what people actually do during their time in game and even how long your "day" in game actually is - are you playing 10 hours + and really grinding, or you just log on for couple hours and go to do other stuff after that.

I earn ISK running Incursions and it takes about 10 hours +/- of active farm to earn 1 month of omega clone. If I don't get bored or tired I can earn it in one day. If don't want to grind and just play for fun, it might take 10, 20, 30, or even 300 days to earn that same amount - it all depends on what is my goal in game and how much am I obsessed by earning ISK.

And speaking on topic itself, I don't think, that the price of PLEX will "Adjust" to any constant amount of ISK - it will fluctuate all the time and it will always have a tendency to grow as the amount of ISK on hands of players is increasing too. That might change only if CCP will introduce some totally new ISK sinks that will gain popularity among players, but I doubt it as that wasn't their goal so far and most probably won't happen in future.
