Hi All,
First I am not asking for sympathy but to hear me out. I have to get this off my chest.
I first start playing in 2004 then the prices on plex were very little.
Now 2014 prices went from 650 mil in beginning of the year to 875 mil (in Amarr) these days.
I have 6 characters, I am diabetic and have another illness I will not mention. I can not work anymore because of this and have to do it with welfare so it is out of the question to buy plex online for real money. I am mining to get isk together to buy the plex, now if you buy a plex online with real money it is about 15 euro/dollar and it has been for a very long time.
So why raising the plex prices on the market to an insane high amount it is just ridiculous.
I am forces to stop playing as I can not get that sort of isk together, not with 1 account or with 6.
It seems people are getting more and more greedy.
My account expires from 20 days to 50 days. if the prices has not dropped I have to find another game to keep me busy.
Cya ingame, fly safe and till the end of time. |

Can I have your mining equipment? I'll take good care of it.
Also supply and demand define the PLEX price, CCP has no hand it it.

Feel free to find another game, do something that actually earns you money instead of mining or just drop to using fewer accounts. |

As a single account holder myself, all imma say is you really don't need more than one account to do well at EVE. I laugh quite heartily at people with more than one because I find it amusing how easy it is for CCP to make cash of those that think they need more than one. Any perceived advantage you think you're getting, any extra stuff you think you're collecting, is an illusion that is easily outmatched by the same number of accounts run by one player each. For multi-account holders, EVE is more of a job than it is for single-account holders. The evidence is in how many multiboxers whine about plex prices.
GÇ£Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonorable' and 'unfair'.
Jam those ones first, and kill them last.GÇ¥

arent the miners the ones who flood the market with ore and prcoessed goods reducing the value of commodities on the market and thus increasing the isk price of plex? |

you're mining, it's ****** isk/hour.
if you can't make 30m/account/day to plex, you're doing it wrong. even mining can do that, it's 1-2 hours work a day for mining, less for people doing worthwhile activities. |

I might have misread you, but it seems you are under the impression that it's CCP who controls the PLEX-price? The prices is a victim of "suply and demand", not CCP-greed.
Kind of finding it strange that you also claim to not being able mustering up the isk pr month for a plex.. especially since you do not work that much. Mining is far from a lucrative isk/hr thingy, but making enough to plex an account should be fairly easy (ofc depending on your mining-skills, but you claim to have played since 2004...soo....^^ ).
Sad to hear you are sick, but your story does not add up for me at all.. (meaning a 2004-player who dont know how to make enough isk for plex).

What's really interesting about threads like these is the assumption of the OP that everyone reading it does not play the game whatsoever and can't possibly know how easy actually is to get the ISK to pay for PLEX-es. It's the same reason why threads like these are locked either for ranting or non constructive criticism, depending on the actual tone of the post.
And no, PLEX didn't even exist in 2004. It was introduced in Quantum Rise, November 2008.

It's really easy to make the isk for a plex, given that you have a whole month to do it. In fact it is so easy, and so many people are buying these plex now, that the price is going through the roof! |

One possibility would be to try something other than mining to supplement your income. With six characters even high-sec PI could get you a PLEX each month. |

Also supply and demand define the PLEX price, CCP has no hand it it. Not true. Well, the supply and demand part is true, but CCP can lower the price of PLEX by having a sale, thus increasing supply, or by not adding additional uses for the PLEX other than game time, thus reducing demand. |

glad someone else noticed ... i was thinking this was clear indication of fib's being told in the OP somewhere along the line ...
(aside from not understanding the whole Supply and Demand thing).
That said ... it is a fair point to notice how high prices are so suddenly. Wonder why it's 'suddenly' so high. One would assume less availabe, thus less people spending cash to get them in RL, thus prices rise ... but is there another reason. Affordability is only one part. Maybe it's just that more and more people arer buying them now, seeing as PI alone gives easily 600mill per account per month ... |

OP: You're doing it wrong. I don't know how you make your isk, but you're doing it wrong. I could tell you how to do it right, but honestly I'm tired of people whining about plex prices.

There were no PLEX in 2004.
