At the going growth rate of prices, I believe PLEX will hit 700 mil by christmas time.

It is now at 570-590 mil per in Jita.

And the trend to rise is only limited by the fact that most people purchase their PLEX on week ends.

This means that tonight's spike in PLEX is nothing compared to what is coming.

But so many warning signs were there and nobody wanted to listen.

Guess people will have to run many more incursions soon.

and accounts will drop to 150k,
because noone with the brain or without a bot army will actually buy it at such price.

Strange.

High PLEX prices means increased demand. Does that mean that more people are playing, or simply that more people are switching to PLEX..? It seems unlikely that people have finally started purchasing incarna items en masse, so who knows..

It means someone or some group has pretty much cornered the market and is price fixing.

I think it's more people using PLEX than paying for an actual account. If this trend continues, it should be time to invest now. This price spike has happened during a weekday, imagine how it's going to be during the weekend.

CCP announcement to add pink dye to the noble exchange shop for coloring the fur of the new Panda race coming in Winter Expansion will push the PLEX price even more!

I think that there will come a time when CCP receive no income from plex as no will buy because of the huge cost. At this time CCP will do something to lower the cost to a more normal price.

Already 500 million is imo too high.

Anyone who buys plex with over than 400m is a tool.

This is what I'm thinking also. The price has been rising steadily since I've started playing, but this spike is rather big to just 'happen'.

Not affected at the moment -- all three accounts are PLEXed through the end of March.

Though if prices really do get that high or higher, I'll be switching back to actually paying for my sub.

Eventually, PLEX will fall.


Either that or everyone will quit and only the bots will be left and CCP can finally win!!! Oh wait...

Well yeah, but we're not talking about +3 implants here, these are PLEX. There's a massive amount of them and they're pretty damned expensive for a commodity. I find it hard to believe that one group could just waltz in raise prices by that much.

nah I can afford many many plex but I place a limit of 440 per 1 plex because after that Id rather just pay out of my own pocket for 30 days and keep the isk.

Or would buy box of cigs with 400$ just because the salesman thinks that the customer looks stupid enough to pay that much.
