Market Discussions

I know exactly what you mean, it does just seem to get more and more to keep my accounts going and the cost of ore is staying the same. I think it wont be long before it start forcing high sec players out of the game.

the entitlement on these people....it's like they don't understand how plex work


NEWFLASH:

PLEX are not created on some whim by ccp, nobody plays this game for free
some other customer is paying your subscription if you're buying plex for isk.

they're just so tired of your **** that they're increasing the prices on you.

Yeah, we should create a committee of university professors, mothers, and community activists to decide the fair price for a plex.

PLEX will hit 800 by Christmas and 1B within two years. Buy now.

If everyone were to use ingame means to fund their subscription, CCP would be bankrupt and we will be left with Star Citizen dingleberry poop.

As much as we love free stuff, there should be some boundary. CCP is already doing a great favor by letting the experienced to be able to fund the subscription via PLEX.

You are meant to enjoy EVE Online. If you have an increasingly hard time funding subscription via ingame PLEX, then I suggest that you pay with actual dollars to play this great game.

Your logic is right, but in-game PLEX are not infinite. They are only created when someone pays for one out of game with real world money. They don't just respawn every day after DT. So ingame there's a finite supply, thus normal market mechanics apply.

Therefore, all your seeing is supply and demand. As demand outpaces supply prices go up. In this case it could be due to the influx of new players and returning players (like myself) after BR-5, speculators trying to make long-term investments, or a combination of both.

When you see buy orders in Jita for 75 Plex at a time at decent prices you know it's more likely the speculators driving prices up rather than the PLEX sellers. New players and returning players trying to get isk will just unload at the buy price rather than list on the market to try to get an extra 20-30mil out of it. They don't generally have the patience to wait it out. They had to wait 3-5hrs for the PLEX to show up to begin with, they don't want to wait more to get their iskies.

So, everyone complaining on this forum about the cost of PLEX really should be looking at the members of this forum, and not complaining about CCP.

Yeah, lets go gank some of those 20-alt mackinaw gangs and hope they stop playing, that's one way to decrease demand.

Good thing then that those complaining aren't regulars here obviously so they wouldn't know who to complain to even if they took your reasoning for truth .

PLEX were averaging around 450m ISK at 11/13. Where have you been?

It isn't about CCP being greedy. People made it clear that CCP's banned player account become liquidated. Instead of the seized accounts destroying economy, CCP did what it cans to protect it by releasing money back into the economy.

Annual cost of living increase in real life makes its impact on Eve Online's economy too!

The usual "Occupy Wall Street" mentality. Blame corporations and large companies for all the worlds' problems.
