50 trillion? Even if CCP sold them at $1 each they have made at the very least $50,000,000,000 and they still want to keep the Noble Exchange? Greedy.

You know you want to buy it. Its hot, so hot its the hottest thing on the market.

Sadly I have no money, so I become cold now, no heat for me.

Erm. You lack the following:
-Mathematical skills
-Reading comprehension skills
-Logical skills
-Good posting skills

Please train each of these prerequisites to at least level IV before attempting to use the forums again.
Thank you.

Actually I took the advice of the poster above and reached 500 million chests of gold doubloons off of plex sales.

Or CCP makes roughly $1.5 million dollars a month off of plex.

Who wait CCP is a company and as such should make profits and pay people's salary.

Wow you guys are about to get the next "Uberness" Nobel price. Props gents

Edit: CCP I want to be able to buy 10M sp per year. Why? -because at this very right moment it's "some" players -read Malcanis law- that are making real cash in € or $ by selling high skills trained characters, for about/just over 1500€ you get a 100M SP char.

Now @OP it's my turn to ask CCP: are you proud of leaving people not paying real cash to play your game make profits with your very own product?

Parrots: start blahblah

CCP: I want to buy SP with plex, fixed amount per year but max 20M per year should bring you guys a lot of real cash and make rage quit those nerds already not paying a cent, and most important ruin their black illegal market.

Thx for reading.

They ad says traded, not sold. They are completely different things.

Plex have been a great investment for quite awhile, they just keep going up, and likely will continue to do so until at least fanfest.

Actually they dont pay people's salaries, they laid off 20% of their people recently.

Wasn't complaining either, maybe it came across that way though. Was mostly curious to see what it translated into really.

Do you have a company on your own? DO you even know what are you talking about?
Are you in CCP's confidence/trust accounting to know what lead to those decisions and is changed for better or worse?

Who do you think you are to judge someone with obviously a bigger pair of balls than you'll ever get for something you obviously don't have a clue?

Move on, adapt or die random pawn.

I do run a company, No I do not know what I am talking about, Indeed I am in their Rust.

Bigger balls perhaps, and congrats to them, They work hard and deserve them.

Suppose I will choose, die in a random retriever, mining in some asteroid belt.

So because they've laid off 20% of their staff a few months ago,
people aren't getting paid at all ?

Now that makes sense ...................................

Hmm… that makes PLEX about 17% of the traded value on the market.

Close, but still not correct, they said "50 trillion isk worth of plex is traded..." this may or may not include what's sold through the account management page.

Then again, at the current prices, the assumption that it's 50tn ISK worth of PLEX purchased (and activated) would make ~⅓ of all accounts PLEXed, which doesn't sound like it's completely outside the realm of plausibility.

But yes, traded on the market ≠ bought from CCP ≠ activated for game time.

Let's put it this way. Assume the entire plex market consists of a single plex, valued at 50m (for simplicity's sake)

I sell this plex to someone, that is 50m worth of PLEX traded. That person turns around and sells it to his friend for 50m.

That means 100m worth of plex is traded. This can be repeated ad infinitum, resulting in 50 trillion plex traded, but CCP only made the price of one PLEX.

McDonalds cheeseburgers aren't flipped, they are cooked on a grill that has a heated press that cooks them from both sides. Takes roughly 30 seconds to cook a mcdonalds cheeseburger.
