EVE General Discussion

Yeah I have stocked up a lot of PLEX I only play EVE sporadically now. Plex will break 1bn by the end of this year easily, as the game dies and becomes more of a PVE focused WOW grind fest plex will only climb higher.

The end game of EVE is not going to be who holds the most SOV, the winner will be decided by which individual char has the most PLEX and this will only drive the price through the roof towards the end.

When it comes to isk farming, nothing, I literally mean nothing beats or even comes close to Cap escalations.
FYI, when 5% of the Eve players generate +20% of the new isk in game; you're in the wrong line of work.

All I hear is a bunch of people crying. Seriously 750mil per plex is nothing. If you can afford to spend at least 20-30 minutes a day in a months time then go get a job and pay for your sub normally.

Before, CCP tried to stabilize the price of PLEX but releasing massive stockpiles from banned accounts.

Now they obviously decided to stop doing that.

So here is what happens : Prices go up. Because CCP didn't intervene for once.
So stop whining because CCP did what they were supposed to do: let the sandbox run.

Went looking for more information/theory/speculation related to the increase of PLEX prices, and instead found another reason why I hate posting on the forums (yet here I am, but certainly not as an OP). The EVE community is downright brutal and I except nothing less than unsympathetic ears and throat slitting, backed up by the attitude of "Why should we care?" This is why I'm getting more into another Sci-Fi game (with less a community as roughly described above) at the moment and spending less time in EVE. Not a soul will miss me, and frankly, I really don't care.

I'm equally as concerned as the OP and a handful of others here as to what this means for the future. Yep, it's a squeeze and I've felt it to, having taken the hit and canceled all my second character trainings. As a more casual player not accustomed to the practices others are claiming is making them billions in a couple of days, the increasing price of PLEX doesn't bode well for players like me who play this game casually without access (yet) to an incursion group or whatever else is making the big money (and you can take your math figures and shove them up your...).

To the OP, I commend your bravery making this post in the first place. As for me, having spend 10 years in this game between my accounts and feeling that CCP has consistently not delivered on the promise of their visions throughout the years (add a couple new ships, some modules, rebalance a few other ships, make a change to this here, and let's call that an expansion!) is effectively spelling the end for me soon. But this is a matter for another topic and thread, so... I feel your pain, best of luck, and let's hope we eventually see things level out to a more manageable level soon (more PLEX sales would really help I think, and it's not like it hurts CCP's wallet at all!)

I think higher PLEX prices will be better for the game. If anything, newbies who start with just one account wouldn't be at such a huge disadvantage against people with 5-10 accounts. If running 3+ accounts become unsustainable, then the playing field would be about even.

800 million in belle right now

No Idea what you are talking about, Plex prices look to have risen only by £1

Higher plex prices will not accomplish this. As long as you can fund one account on plex doing things that don't require much attention or active effort from the person behind the keyboard (mining or null ratting with afk ishtars) you can fund any number of accounts by doing the same thing on all of them. Multiple character training makes this even cheaper and more convenient.

it's really simple...
PLEX will reach a point where people won't purchase it and that's where the prices will stop. People will have loads of plex on storage or will purchase new plex to get ISK for and will sell lower to get those isks.

Supply and Demand, remember that the new Barbie dress up minigame for coloring spaceship was added recently and people purchase plexes to paint their ships and produce higher quality of tears when they'll lose them.
