Dear CCP,
Due to the rising prices of Plex, would you please consider an NPC tax cut? The New Eden middle class is struggling.

The rising prices suggests that a large number of players are happy to play for free at these prices.
Most players value their game time at a significant discount to their RL income. Those that are on fixed incomes will continue to be hurt. Until the point that un-subbing alts or paying a subscription becomes the more viable option plex will continue to rise.
High plex prices also puts a squeeze on botting and RMT actions. So CCP has an incentive to let plex price rise (in a controlled manner to prevent speculation, however it has been very easy to swing trade the plex market for the last few months) as they will be able to capture a greater market share.
If plex prices are expensive to you, obviously they are not to others so adapt, pony up cash, or un-sub your alts. |

If plex prices are expensive to you, obviously they are not to others so adapt, pony up cash, or un-sub your alts. I agree completely with everything you say. But what you are saying is valid if and only if external factors are not influencing the PLEX prices (like paying for FF stream/FF ticket, or releasing a bunch of skins).
Each time new NeX items are introduced or even announced, fanfest tickets are sold for PLEX, premium stream is sold for PLEX or PLEX is being used outside the game we will have price spikes that don't follow how much players are capable of earning or the general trend of inflation in the game.

Today is the fan fest stream and tomorrow will be the summer patchexpansion. I don't like the current plex price either but what can i do, i prefer throwing isk for game time to rl money. I have no complaints because i understand that buying plex with isk is a privilege and not a right. |

CCP has finally realized that the upsidedown pyramid is not a good business model. Having a smaller number of players buying plex to allow the rest to play for free has to be the worst idea ever.

Ouch!
That's 3,700,000,000 ISKies for me this month. Add in a Fan Fest stream and it's time to sell a JF.
Supply and demand be damned. It might be time for CCP to revisit the whole GTC/PLEX mechanic.

Had a recent discussion about this ingame, and the upwards curve for PLEX prices is quite noticeable since a month (coincided with shipskin release? ) Add in fanfest and you get a skyward climb of PLEX prices.
Added thing I noticed is that in february alot of people dumpled PLEXes on the market (large volumes sold) causing a small dip in price after. By then the PLEX was close to 700 mill then dropped for a while.
Now it's back sharply on the rise, but strangely, no large volumes are sold. So either people are hoarding their PLEX, gambling on PLEX going even higher (so the few PLEX on market get grabbed fast, causing an higher rise) Or people sold most of their PLEX stock during february (unlikely tbh, CCP did mention there's supposed to be a ton of unclaimed ones)
In short: speculatoers, combined with AUR stuff people want (shipskins) and the Fanfest cause a skyrocket of prices.
Making a preduction, I suspect prices will drop after Fanfest sales are over. (fanfest promotion sucks up quite some plexes)

I used to. Frankly it was an equation between working a second job in game or taking about 20minutes of irl income to fund an entire months worth of activity.
If you want to pretend to be clever about economics then do sit down and realise that there are a lot of people who play this game on a very limited leisure time budget - and I'm one of them. While I haven't PLEXed in a long time I do see it as a convenient way to stay in the game and not ve hamstrung back in to grinding fw plexes for meager profit. LP store weapon cost rebalance |

All I can say is that if you are running multiple accounts and can't afford to PLEX them, you are doing something horribly wrong and don't deserve those accounts.

It means more poor people is playing this game.
The more people without money in real life play, the higher PLEX will go.
And with the poor comes the ignorance and stupidity, oh God, eve is doomed..
In no time this universe will be a ghetto. |
