You are your own worst enemy. Train those 6 characters into catalysts and go gank other multiboxers instead.

pretty sure 90% of the people you think are causing a problem are doing the same thing you are. mining.

if you all stopped mining just to PLEX, the price of PLEX might go down.

that's not irony

I enjoy mining, I just dont enjoy having the fruits of my labor get wasted on PLEX, and then having to waste even more because someone felt like manipulating the market.

You know, you could leave the typical miner victim mentality and actually deal with what you don't like?

It's markets.

As the guy who teached me RL trading always tells: "trading is about money and facts. All the rest is fluff and empty talk".

You are on Market Discussion, where money talks. Slam your money on the table and teach'em a lesson. Or don't, and keep posting about your impotence on a forum for what it can help you (hint: it doesn't).

Yeah I am legally disabled, unable to work going through chemotherapy and on an extremely fixxed income with no way to change it. Paying for EVE is not possible. The only reason I am able to play is because of PLEX

I understand that there are better ways to make ISK than mining. BUT I DO NOT ENJOY DOING THEM. And I did not come here whining about my miner woes. I came on here to discuss the PLEX prices

Wouldn't play this game unless I could plex my accounts either. But there are other free games out there when the eve grind gets too boring. And I've quit eve before. So can you.

Plex prices have been increasing because CCP has consistently made everything else easier to acquire. There have been a series of changes over the years that have made high sec in particular easier and less risky. PLEX on the other hand is has a fixed RL value and is constantly being removed from the economy. I would also speculate that supply isn't very elastic when it comes to plex, so price changes happen fairly rapidly on the demand side of the equation.

Its not surprising plex prices rise then.

But how you make your isk is completely relevant to the discussion. Yes there is market manipulation. But there are also plenty of people willing and able to pay the high PLEX prices. Largely because they make better isk/hr than a miner.

If you choose a low income profession you have to accept you may need to live on less.

So what do you want to discuss about PLEX prices?

The reasons for potentially high prices have been explained in this thread, one of those probably responsible for turning that potential into a reality has stepped forward and told you that prices will continue to rise, and finally RAW has pointed out that prices might at some point be allowed to crash so people can restock. There even was a morally dubious "How to earn money with PLEX without doing anything or taking any risks" section.

If you are looking for a discussion thread then put something forward that can be discussed. If you are looking for commiseration (regarding the price of PLEX - we all hope that your health will improve) then you have posted in the wrong subforum.

I have sympathy with your situation.

In the real world I'm semi-retired and have to live on an income 1/4 of what I was earning a few years ago. If PLEX was not an option, EVE would not be an option for me. I also have very little interest in playing EVE with only one account. I've had to cut down to 8 accounts from a much larger number in recognition of the rising costs and dwindling utility of those additional accounts.

Both of us serve at the pleasure of the PLEX market.

All I can suggest is that you look into the options for what you can do in parallel with your core gaming experience using the multiple accounts you have to make a little more isk on the side and ease the burden on your mining income.

Well plex has been on growth longer time. Negative inpact could be caused by activities like incursions that pour direct isk into economy, instead of rewards like LP which cause money ciruclation. Or lot of renters, combinated with not so many explosions in null sec warfare(pre-phoebe).

Increase in recent price growth could be because of people stacking up plexes...after all, they have been on the rise for a long time, so it makes good investment option. If you going out of eve, you just put your cash into plexes and when you get back you cash out the profit. But that's generally known...question is when will it reach critical limit and then the bubble pops :3 hopefully :D

Sorry, but you don't know the correlation between enjoyment and account numbers for people other than yourself.

Xanato: if you enjoy mining then what's wrong with mining so you can mine more? If you don't enjoy doing that, then there's other ways that require very little effort that you can do while mining to increase your income :).

Any one of these can be set up to run in the background, using the resources you already pay for in having multiple accounts.

They need not distract you from your core gameplay, they just have to contribute to paying for it.

Another factor to put into condieration is dual character training and it has become more popular to have multiple character for dual boxing with multi boxing hardware and software becoming legal. CCp has formerly confirmed that they keept plex prices artificially low with confiscaded it is unknown ot me if this stil is the case or the stopped with it.
