Since apparently it is so easy to make ISK that you all are willing to overpay for PLEX, I am accepting donations to help free you of your excessive ISK.

Of course CCP is already looking for the prices of PLEX.
And for the rest of the market.

And of course its in CCPs interest to keep the PLEX prices high, forcing ppl to buy them with real money. CCP has professionals looking over the markets.

coloring the own spaceships and let ppl pay for that is a smart move.


having HIGH plex price in game defeats its purpose.

Lets say I pay my sub for EVE with real $$ then CCP made from my sub only 14.99$ but if I had purchased a plex from the market then CCP would have made from my sub 19.99$ so in theory not paying with plex makes CCP lose money so it will be in their best interest to makes plex prices high enough but not in way that will make players not purchasing it.

PLEX in the market are PLEX that where already sold to other players. CCP will gladly take your 14.99$, since they spend the other money already. PLEX are some "credits" given to the market. CCPs main task would be that players would prefer to buy for RM than for ISK. PLEX is already the way to shorten your career. If i have enough money i buy PLEX and sell them to get my equip faster.

Well but if we all just paid with real $$ and people will sell plex on the market who will purchase it? and in such theoretical low demand won't prices get low to such a point everyone again will start purchase plex?

as I've said.. supply and demand.

I actually do often have excess ISK after plexing characters and paying the bills and if there is no obvious investment prospects will occasionally throw plex at a multi-training alt to skill it up a bit rather than let the ISK just sit round. Donating large amounts of ISK to other people however is bad for them, ISK is not that hard to come by.


Also this recent ISK hike is a matter of perspective:

MAKE IT LOOK WORSE: Hey 12 months ago you could plex for 6 billion a yaer and now it it takes 9 Billion.
MAKE IT SOUND BETTER: Who cares the price increase over the last few months i s just a measly 3 million ISK a night.

Just like real life its a mattter of spin you want to put on it.

The price has gone up 90 mill or so over last few months. PLEX last 30 days.

Hence to PLEX now versus a few months ago you need to make an extra 3 mill a night.

What a gyp.

They're only at 701 and there are thousands of them. Where's the screaming demand for 800M PLEXes I was promised? Cry

you were misled.

I would say missed the train should have got them for 500-600 mill and sell them now for 700-720 mill.

all plex come from players that turn real money into isk.

i would not turn 15$ into 700m Isk.
and i bet you wouldnt neither, considering the fact you dont even want to turn 15$ into 30 days gametime.

Not even close to accurate. Having a high plex cost increases the incentive for those people who buy GTC for real $$$ to sell on the market. These are the people that CCP loves because they are spending the real world money.

By the time plex is in game CCP already got their money.

I don't get why people are willing to grind away for a PLEX to keep playing EVE so they can do it again next month. That's why I pay with the traditional subscription model.

I heard plex is 3.5b on serenity. Sounds real.

No reason to keep it so low here. Hope plex will rise at least to 1b.

If PLEX prices reach 1b they might learn the difference between whining and complaining.
