Hi everyone.

So you have all noticed that plex prices are getting abit on the ridiculous side 1 billion isk in jita currently as of this post.
Now not every person in eve can afford that each month and have isk to spend on doing their own little thing.

I have spoken to 100 people plus. And 80% of them agree with me that plex prices are forcing people to either spend real money via subscription or going to various websites to get plex's, now obviously this doesnt effect the people in eve that are established and making multi billions of isk a month. To them i say this doesnt really apply to you.

But at one point in the game when you thought plex prices were hard to reach and it sucked. Alot of people i have met on my travel's in eve and i have spoken to have either already or are going to leave multiple accounts to go offline until plex prices level out at something more reasonable.

My idea will upset a massive number of people who thrive on selling plex's and selling isk out of game (you know who you are) but CCP seed plex's in every market hub at say 500mil each with a unlimited amount so they cannot all be bought out and the same situation happens again or put say 5000 in each market hub and every week rest the buy order to a default quantity of say 5000 to stop people buying them all and making isk which in turn is forcing some players in eve to stop playing and move on.

If this was implemented i am 100% sure that people would come back to the game, reactivate accounts create new accounts etc and CCP would in turn make more money from it and more and more people could enjoy the game.

I know full well im going to get alot of hate for this post but im not bothered im only speaking for a vast number of people in game or out of game that have left. Plex prices need to be fixed at a reasonable price or people will continue to leave it.

Fly safe all and start the hatemail ;p

While prices do need to come down ccp will not seed plexs like that, plexes are bought with really money and used or set on market
Ccps attempt to flood the market as failed and while I used to lime the company when it was a game company and not a business my alts that I finally got after years of not having any are inactive as prices exceeded 850m and looking at 1b now will stay offline with my own possible deactivation not having time to getisk needed.
My alts went offline at the turn of the new loot compression nerd that killed the excess profit from a mission for it

Ccp tried and it failed as the small number of people that can own the market can kill all attempts

i can afford the 1 bil a month for both my accounts i am just simply highlighting a common topic discussed in eve and a effect that the prices are having on the actual players the people who bring money in for CCP.

Its not in my interest to cry and moan about such a thing as i do market trading myself but i still believe that as not everyone can afford 1 billion a month or spend all month just to get it to restart again out of all the things that people control on the market PLEX shouldn't be one of them.

CCP has repeatedly said that they will not directly manipulate the price of Plex on the market. If they feel the price is changing too rapidly, they will act to control that rate of change, but not the actual prices themselves.

Personally I just converted my last account over to $$ and am selling off my stored plex for ISK.

that and reversing the flow which as i understand was attempted by another group

I disagree, but see you need to qualify your idea with the word 'practically'. But then there is the point that people RMT to make money, not spend it. Don't they? Or are you confusing MT with this? But even that isn't the same.

But I digress, as that wasn't my point to the OP. He suggests the following:

So what is he suggesting here?
That people buy plex with RL monies (or ISK), then sell said plex for (or back to) ISK, then convert said ISK back to RL cash? Not forgetting the risk of perm bans and for what? I've not done the calculations, but.......

so... if we unsub some of our alts that run on plex, they will take notice?

Also can we push for less npc alts posting incendiary threads in forums? Npc corp alts shouldn't have rights.

You're asking CCP to give away free game time & in the same sentence saying that CCP would make more money for doing this.

Thanks for admitting that NPCs are bad for the forum. If you don't like something someone in a player corp says, do something about it in-game.

There's nothing wrong with a little prostitution.
