Ok so a little over a year ago I left the game due to medial issues. Now I'm back. I just plexed my account and read though all the updates since I left. I was SHOCKED to find that in the last year plex prices have gone for 500 mill to 1 BILLION ISK! and there are 1/2 as many active players online. What happen to this game? Somehow I doubt that the isk farming macro miners all got kicked out so I can only assume that the 25,000 missing players since my last login were real people. Did they all leave b/c of the increased plex price? Was anything done to try and stop them leaving? Is the game even still worth playing with more systems and 1/2 the population? It seems like it was pretty hard to find a fight before. Now there will be 2 x as many empty solar systems when roaming? I'm extremely disappointed in what I'm seeing in terms of active players. Can anyone give me reason to believe that the game is somehow better and not much worse in terms of finding fun fights than it was a year ago? |

You've been away for a lot longer than 1 year if those numbers are to be believed.
And yes, a lot of multi-client accounts are no longer around.

It hasn't gone from 500m to 1B in a year , stop making **** up.Not even going to bother with the rest of your numbers there because they are just as bad.
At least put some effort into your trolling for god's sake.

So go spend a lot of rl cash on buying plexes wich will contribute to plex prices ingame going down again ...

They removed shooting structures and now you have to sit there and poke it with "thought beam". I think shields and armour of structures could have been just linked to an actual frequency of maintaining its supplies, aka structure occupation mode of space.

so the solution on high PLEX prices is to spend even more money to get game currency with RL cash?
see what you did there ?
PLEX prices spiking is a a clear indicator that the game is dying for me, the only solution would be an all around decline to the subscription cost. Per month and PLEX RL price as well. Lets all hope someone from CCP is figuring this out. The remaining casual gamers will leave the game if they haven't already with these prices. |

There never was a goal to begin with, nor a desired end state other than that they be traded actively.
CCP is even kind enough to step in every once in a while to make sure they dont flail around. |

Ummmmmm....................No.
There isn't many subscription platform gamers out there that queef out over spending 15-20$ a month to play. Considering you can under even lazy game-play, pay for your subscription every second month with earned ISK, a one billion Plex price is not a deterrent.
As well, considering I regularly purchase plex for my various endeavours, I'm pretty pleased with what my >20 USD gets me in game these days.

PLEX prices would only deter specific kind of player. In the end we would finish with a situation the same as PLEX would not exist.

Do you realize how little sense this entire post made? I hope like hell you are trolling, because if not, goddamn son. |

a one billion Plex price is not a deterrent. What about 2B? You know it will happen. How casual you would have to be to say enough? Remember, there is always option to pay REAL money.
Well, it would probably remove half of the incentives to play the game... Specific kind of player.

PLEX are like houses IRL, everyone knows people need them and as a result people aren't happy to sell for less than they paid. If people won't take less than they paid then that trends towards prices going up. PLEX prices will never, unless the player base suddenly grows massively, go back to the prices they were at a few years ago. Accept this. |

So... all those not specific kinds of players don't have alts that they plan to PLEX or that in a time that they are not so active ingame, due to RL issues or whatever In-Game issues even, they would not consider a 1.5 billion priced PLEX a deterrent ...
Let me tell you there is competition in the MMO scene out there too, and many of those are even free to play or something along those lines.
PLEX prices as well as monthly subscription prices do play a role for the majority of players. |

Op,
Ignore the trolls. I just returned after a year absence and discovered the same thing. Although it was probably closer to 650 mil to 1 bill for plex, in my observations. And I recall logins of 50k+...now we're lucky to get 30k on the weekends.
Will I still play? Sure. I have two accounts...Subbing one, and had some plex saved up for the 2nd account. Once that runs out though -- and I don't see myself being able to pay for a plex every month with isk -- let the trolls insult me and call me a newb, I dont care -- and once it runs out, both accounts are done and I'm outa here. Any serious Eve player needs two accounts, imho.
That, or I win the lottery.

In eve fanfest every year ccp communicates that the majority of players lives in high sec and combined with other stats they consider them the specific kind of player . So alts or not accounts are affected by high PLEX prices. And yes i do believe they constitute the majority.
If you - nana - have numbers to prove that it is a minority, you're more than welcomed to share them with us. |

Of course he has no numbers, it's just the usual whine.
When lousy 15 Bucks a month play a role for the majority of the players, said majority should get a better paid job and not waste their time playing video games anyways. |
