Market Discussions

You didn't bothered with Sinq Laison when there were no Planet V Trade hubs. You came to Dodixie only after you saw PVT there. You quickly put your own 0% hub, then pinged Horde to come to bash our 0% hub. After they succeded, you raised taxes to 0.4% and now you are telling us how much you wanted to offer Sinq Laison traders a cheaper alternative...

I just have one question to the citadel owners, who is controlling the character "ZWERT".

I know that char is operating from ichooseyous citadel mostly and is in like 95% in control of PLEX, Extractor and injector market.

I have been observing for a long period now and know that that char is 24/7 online. During 24 hours of the day this char isn't inactive for even 5 minutes. It must be a shared character. I just wonder who it belongs to. This char has been in control of said markets for months now. This char is also one if not the main reason PLEX price went up.

Right now this characters keeps most of the time extractor and injector prices on no profit compared to current plex price, but i know it is making huge profits on times when there is absolutely no competition. Further the character is making huge profit on the no profit orders anyway since it bought at least over 6k PLEX before small plex got introduced.

I just wonder if it belongs to someone from here or not.

I see very interesting. I wonder why this whole market is just given to ZWERT. The profits involved into this are much higher than monthly profits of a 0.1% citadel in jita would be. The profits i guess he is making are around 20-30 billion a day if not more. I had a glimpse of it a few days ago when zwert wasn't active for around 15 minutes and in those 15 minutes i made 1,5 billion profit buying plex and reselling extractors but then i got bullied away. I cannot compete with a multi trillionaire but i'm sure others could.

Greetings friends,

It has been a while since the last update, and so a couple of new developments for the Planet V Trade operation.


Remote Trading

CCP has now added the ability for traders to place buy orders remotely in a structure. This means that many traders who would normally operate solely in the NPC market hubs, are now placing their buy orders remotely in offshore market hubs such as our own.

What this means for the Planet V Trade operation is that the location of our physical market hub is less important than it was previously. And so we are modifying our strategy to take advantage of the increased flexibility it offers to make it more difficult for our enemies.

Rather than being fixed in a particular system, we will keep the trade hub active in one of the systems within a one jump radius of the NPC market hub.


Broker Fees

In order to dissuade traders from using the Ichooseyou hub we have been running many of our trade hubs at a flat 0% public rate. Although this has been effective in reducing income for Pandemic Horde, Ichooseyou is still making significant sums of ISK in Perimeter, and has recently expanded his operation against our hubs in Ashab, Hek, and Dodixie.

In light of this, the benefit of running the hubs at a 0% public rate is outweighed by the extra investment we would gain by having a 0.1% public rate. This investment can then be used to replace hubs and expand the operation.

As a result, we will be reverting our rates back to the original fee model, offering the 0.0% supporters rate for life, and a 0.1% public rate.

Additionally, when a replacement hub is launched, to ensure a smooth transition between hubs we will operate a temporary 0.0% public rate for a duration of at least 48 hours of the new hub being active. This is to ensure those who are not on the 0.0% trader list can freely relist their orders at the new market hub.


Market Hubs

As mentioned above, Ichooseyou and Pandemic Horde have now extended their attack into Dodixie and Hek.

The hub in Dodixie was being run by one of our investors, who unfortunately has now decided they cannot sustain the market hub there due to the cost involved. This is an important location, and with not having a Planet V Trade hub there, Ichooseyou has raised his broker fee to 0.4%.

We will look to re-establish the Planet V Trade hub in Dodixie. Further details of this will be posted in this thread when we are able to.

The hub in Hek saw very little in terms of trade volume. With Ichoosyou and Pandemic Horde extending their campaign to Hek, the cost of keeping the hub in Hek running would be significant, and with such little usage, we have decided the ISK could be better invested in sustaining Jita, Amarr, and Dodixie.


Mailing List

Although currently not in use, we do have a ‘Planet V Trade’ mailing list. We would like to start using this as another communication channel, to keep those who are interested updated regularly as to our status.

In future when a market hub is reinforced, alongside updating the MOTD on the ‘Planet V Trade’ chat channel, we will also send a notification through the mailing list with details of where to find the replacement hub.

To receive updates, ensure you are signed up to the mailing list ‘Planet V Trade.


Defence Operations

After receiving many offers of combat help from those who do not wish to see Pandemic Horde succeed with their war on high sec, we are going to open up our defence operations to those who are willing to assist.

For those who are interested, you will need to join our defence corporation ‘Citadel Defenders’. And to avoid Pandemic Horde spys, we are going to have to set a minimum skill limit, and request limited API information to confirm this. I will post the requirements shortly for those who are interested in joining in.

With our combined efforts, we can ensure that this continued attack on free trade in high sec is punishing for our opponents. Please mail me if you are able to offer your assistance.

Moac was invited as a FC for Karin's Citadel Defenders corporation. Here is the screenshot from the time when Karin was running Planet V, dumbo.

The screenshot you linked is made after Moac took over Planet V. It just states who today have control over old RMT chat channel and can ban Horde\IChooseYou alts.

By the way, the RMT channel is not used anymore. Planet V has new official chat channel - Planet V Trade.


Moac shouldn't explain anything to yet another newly created Pandemic Horde alt imo.

Ah? Since when remote buy to stucture is working?

Just wondering about the new hub in Itamo?

Is that you guys?

Thank you for the excellent discussion in this thread, and for the support we continue to receive.

It has now been 5 months since we began this thread and officially announced the next stage in the development of the Planet V Trade market hubs. We still continue to resist the extortionists who wish to profit from traders, and we are still here to ensure that there is a free trade option available to all traders of New Eden.

We are now moving this thread to the new forums, the new thread can be found here.
