Player Features and Ideas Discussion

No it wouldn't. You're not understanding that PLEX isn't sold to you for ISK from CCP. It's sold to a player for real money, and then that player sells it for ISK.


Also your logic isnt making sense, you ask if its not better to have plex at 1-200mil instead of 700 which would encourage you to have 3 accounts. but that wouldn't encourage people to buy up plex to sell for isk. That PLEX was bought with real money they should have the right to sell it for whatever they want.


the price of plex is dictated and controlled by many things, including since its the only form of currency exchange really in game between real world cash and isk. The price in isk is also related to the actual economy outside the game.

Also you could see if in addition to obvious factors like tournies, that maybe with hard times that the PLEX supply has gone done from years gone by. Lower supply, increased demand. Prices go up

If people are having a rougher time earning cash they aren't going to spend extra for a 100-200mil in isk, they'll keep it its not worth it for their entertainment purposes. Now if its closer to a bill, that real world cash will go a longer way in game and would bring them more enjoyment




No we know it goes up with tournaments, the demand goes up. and that's what CCP wants. They have economists to think about market impacts as well



So no people didnt pay 20 bucks for 800mil isk from CCP, they pay 20 bucks for 30days worth of game time or GTC
they can then do one of 2 things with it. Activate it themselves if they so wish or sell it to another player for an agreed upon amount. You're wanting to offer 200mil while many players are willing to offer 6-700mil of course he's going to sell to the greater price. It's his 20bucks after all.

You seem to be under this misconception that people are paying CCP for isk and then CCP just seeds game time as result from transaction controlling the price freely.

Really us players that pay the game with ISK are really lucky and shouldn't be complaining. You're essentially asking some total stranger to pay your account in exchange for monopoly money. It's troublesome when the prices rise but i wont complain its not my dollar. I just comes down to how much time i'm willing to spend on this game to make enough to pay for it using its own system.
