To all those that claim ccp doesn't control the market that's a BIG FAT LIE. Actually CCP is mostly to blame for this mess and its dumb choices over the past 3 years.

CCP destroyed this games economy when it released PI.

Robotics went from 7k to 60k in one day.
The prices of the items made with this resource did not increase to cover the cost.
This destroyed a good sector of the T2 production community there are countless offline pos now in game to prove my point. Hell after CCP epic blundering the morons decided to change game mechanics to make blowing up offline pos a viable career path to help fix its mistake.

The skyrocketing price of PLEX is clearly the preamble to the end.
When nobody will pay the price for PLEX its a sub game.
when CCP cant make enough $$ off subs guess what its a FREE TO PLAY Game or its gone.

CCP you have constantly told your players this motto "evolve or die" time to take your own medicine go Free to play or die very soon.

I bought a PLEX today.

I needed to pull my null transport pilot out of mothballs for some stuff. Set a skill to training. JF5@29 days to complete.

So I'm thinking, I just paid 700M for 1 skill.

When you think of it like that it does seem a little expensive, I suppose.

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.


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.

well, it is actually cheaper to buy GTC then convert in plex then activate said plex than paying the sub.

sub: 15€ / month
1 PLEX: 20€
60 days GTC: 35$ (25€)

It's 700 mil to fly a ship that costs as much as 7 carriers that can both use gates as well as jump vast distances while carrying enough stuff to fuel a small war for a couple months. I'd say 700 mil is a deal for that.

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.


This really depend on how you make isk


Exactly. A plex is one good drop from a DED plex or an evening of incursion running (which happens for me frequently as the wife works nights).

Why wouldn't you trade one night of game playing (while damn near butt nekkid and drinking bear) for 29 'free' nights of butt nekkid beer drinking game playing?

I can't be the only one who is letting one of my accounts lapse due to the high prices.

That leads to less ships being bought, less people out and about creating content.

Every time I hear they are adding something else that utilizes the plex I cringe. You guys can argue all day about paying for your sub, but I pay for 2 and plex one, and have for years now.

This will do damage to the game, and the players online tally will continue to dwindle until plex are reasonable again.

As it did every time people whined about high prices.

I, for one, am happy to buy GTCs to turn into ISK! :D


Anyhow ... I agree that highsec and faction warfare need to be nerfed,
just so people who can only read the upper line of this sentence have something to rage about.

I really need to fix my gigantic forehead.
