I think that this really puts my mind at ease about how CCP could add stability to the eve market. If prices just spike like an erection, then they can just pull from this pool.

This was SOOOOOO revealing. Glad they are going to be "adjusting" that Market.

Dr. Eggnog confirms that market WAS manipulated.

Makes one sick to think about how they got those PLEX Twisted

Honestly, when they hinted very quietly about regulating, I was thinking they were going to hardcap the plex price to be xxx million isk and you can't go higher.

He didn't confirm it was manipulated, only stated that its possible, still interesting though.

You guys think they'll dump them all at once? Or just slowly use them?

IF they do, it will be slow, you wont see em all flood the market in a day, only 2,500 are traded daily, so in theory doubling it would halve prices, and not be able to sustain the market, in a few days it would be normal again.

The least damaging option for CCP would be to simply offer more multi-PLEX packs for cheaper then the normal 35USD/2 (17.50USD) price. If they're serious about it, they should drive the per-PLEX price in those larger packs down below 15USD each. Increase supply will lead to lower prices and provides competition even in the face of market manipulation.

He also said that the PLEX market has not yet reached equilibrium and that there is no specific price target.

I agree, however, this hurts CCP long term, because if prices return to normal it will instantly create overpriced plex, again. Thats what I doubt we will see them lower the dollar cost to plex.

On that point then this thread is MOOT;
..................as the key-word, if YOU want exactitude, is that they MAY do something about the 10,000 PLEX or not.

Therefore they will do nothing, right ? Roll

Geez, learn to read between the lines and that CCP will NEVER say exactly what they are going to do as folks will immediately counter it.

The point is to lower ISK cost to PLEX, not dollar. Roll

Dr. Eggnog CLEARLY stated they want more 'affordable by ISK' PLEX.

Probably will release them on the market as certain levels are reached. I doubt they will dump them on the market all at once.

If they use this as a reserve to cap the market though, what are they going to do when they run out of banned plex? Maybe that reserve fills it self?

Save a plex, report a bot.

No arguement here, but CCP is here to make money, so reducing plex RL costs means less money for CCP per plex. I know it means lower isk cost, but CCP is here for REAL money. I should state I was refering to the post on the reduce USD amount to sell more plex.
