I simply have no real incentive to keep playing the game if all I'm doing is PVE just to afford to play the game.

PLEX prices need to go down otherwise this is going to become an option that is completely unavailable to me and many other players.


If you dont have money to pay for an account you have other more serious problems than not being able to play a game...



I agree with this. This is not a f2p game. CCP has allowed you to pay for your game with "ingame" monies and now you cry because you cant make enough to play the game for free. Sorry...dude but I happen to like the price of a PLEX at 700 mil or better. I dont want to grind in this game. I prefer to work at my rl job and spend my money for enjoyment in Eve. People whining because they cant play the game for free is like all the goof tards at the grocery store whining because their food stamps don't buy beer. I PAY good hard coin for multiple accounts and buy PLEX from CCP with real money. Do you think they are going to care if they lose your account or mine? Trust me unless they are idiots, they want to keep me coming back...not you. It's the players like me that allows CCP to let players like you continue along in the game for free. Sorry if this is too harsh, but this is what life is about. Making your own way. Peace

So who's gonna buy your PLEX?

I know there's a lot of people that are going to take issue with me on this... but let me tell you what I think.

I think by Feb 1 2013 EvE is going to have well over a million accounts (DUST players coming in)

I think PLEX prices are going to be over 750 mil ea by mid December.

I think both of those estimates are conservative.

My advice? If you need PLEX to run your account... buy now. It's going to get crazy.




Call me when they hit the billion mark, I'll find then some time to sell some and play the game cause I have no time to waste killing red crosses all day long.

Thx

It's totally NOT the faction warfare people exploiting at all. It MUST be the miners.



Obviously, CCP has already done something about it, they ran a special on plex prices. I have no doubt they'll do it again, and soon.



CCP's PLEX "Sales" are pathetic... From 104 to 99 for the 6(?) plex deal is not even worth it.. lol

If the DUST players have easy access to buying PLEX to buy gear, but don't need the PLEX themself to play, the prices might tank once they surge in and want to easymode themselves better gear (which they will promptly lose in hilarious ways). This will be a good thing, because it means that CCP is getting more money coming in to create them. CCP can't exactly force people to create PLEX.


That has the ring of truth in it if suits are bought with ISK & not AURUM

It is obvious

OTHER people are more ISK efficient than you!!!

They can make (bot their mule up) more ISK, than you can and they do it easily.

You not take the juice, you loose!

It's just 15$ a month. Pony up and pay.

Because they make more money per PLEX bought than per month of direct account subscription?
It's in their own best interest to keep the PLEX market healthy.


The plex market is healthy.

Yup.

And besides, the higher the PLEX prices there are the better it is for CCP.

Because the higher the price the more people will want to buy PLEX for RL money to get the best $ -> ISK exchange rate. The only problem this implies for CCP is that the PLEXes that don't get bought become a liability to provide services for 1 month for each of the PLEXes that goes unused. But for every PLEX that is already on the market CCP has already been paid for.

Not sure why you guys are necro'ing up a 3 month old thread. Prices are probably down 100M from when he made it originally.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I reckon I bought more after reading this than you did Lol

Yah I PLEXed out both of my accounts to late 2014 a few months ago anticipating this. I was hesitant to go out so far because I wasn't sure if CCP would even last that long, but having played the DUST beta now I am really sold. It's going to be a very good game... and will have more depth than any FPS anyone has ever played. I figured the probability of CCP pulling it off was pretty slim, but now it looks to me like they've got a winner. The market implications for EvE will be profound. This game was long overdue for a big shake-up, and I really think we are going to get it. There's going to be ample opportunity for EvE players to get rich on the changes, but there's also going to be a lot more competition across the board. Now is the buyers market for all things EvE. The sellers market is going to explode after the winter expansion and when everyone in EvE knows what DUST is bringing in.

...just my 2 isk



d514 may be all fine and dandy but it has a hard coded shelf life... that being the ps3 which is NOT that far from being phased out.

if ccp had made it for the pc then it would of had a better shelf life.
I am NOT gonna go out and buy a ps3 for one game.

This was a good one to necro so we can laugh at horribly bad predictions and reasons given for the rising plex prices.

LOL... I was thinking the exact same thing. About like predicting the stock market right now.

It's great to see a thread like this since it shows how much PLEX have dropped and continue to drop.

PLEX prices are dropping faster and faster at the moment. I expect them to drop to at -least- 500 million and they may drop below 500 million. Already, in the past week (this is being written on December 31, 2012) PLEX have come on the market for 500 million.

The PLEX 'investment' bubble is finally popping and the 'investors' who bought into the hype are realizing that they need to get out.
