Not at all. I have now 12500 (after conversio) that I bought before the change. And I have account PLEXed to the end of may 2020.
Future looks bright for me.

Player run economy. Though CCP could do some slight manipulation as they have in the past by doing a legit sale instead of the cash grab scam they're offering right now.

I'm quite enjoying it even though it's making my in game expenses go up (it now costs 6 bil a month to plex my 4 accounts, 200 mil a day). I'm enjoying it because of all the crying that's coming from the entitled fools who don't understand that plex is a luxury and that no one (including CCP) owes anyone cheap plex. |

I'm counting all my pennies but it's looking like I won't be able to afford to buy a PLEX to keep my PI going lol. I'm projecting I'll be around 1.3b in my wallet in 8 days when the time runs out.
I could probably subscribe again

No I said this week's ago that prices would skyrocket. Just wait for them to reach 4mil per Plex.
Theyre making it impossible for newer characters to Plex. There should have been a 1b ceiling implemented to prevent this. |

looking at the isk faucet graphs I'm not surprised at all, we have more isk than ever, and stuff is cheap so we don't have a lot to spend it on. Plex has been on a long upward trend, sure it drops every now and then but almost always finds a new peak. Nothing like a big market shakeup to drive it even higher.

Luxury? No. But a necessity. I dont expect plex to be cheap (when i say cheap i mean around 600 mil) but im not paying 1.5 bil even though i can afford way more than that. Get off your high horse, he is tired let him rest. |

Well, Plex are now sold by CCP by packs of 110/240/440 (with 0/20/60 more offered for the moment). A player who want to add 30 days in his account needs 500 of them. 440, it is less than before (1 Plex = 30 days) but for the same price.
So CCP stealthy raised the price, and the market is correcting itself. There isn't any "player driven market" in this situation, CCP is the responsible of that.
It was obvious it would be going up if the real price is going up too. Couldn't do anything else. It is a dangerous move for CCP, I doubt that an higher price in ISK won't "cost" some players. |

Numbers from Eve Central are interesting. SELLING 2.89 M 5% / 3.22 M wavg / 3.00 M median (0.18 M units) BUYING 2.85 M 5% / 2.51 M wavg / 2.67 M median (1.76 M units)
10 times as many PLEX sold to buy orders as purchased from sell orders and buy/sell spread is essentially 0
It would seem that competition between buyers is driving up the price! |

You do know that there are other places than here right? Did I say "All the crying on the EVe General Discussion forum"? No, I said "all the crying", meaning just that, from multiple place/forums/ discord, teamspeak etc.
Dude, understand something, You don't like me and I sure as hell don't like your trolling butt so I expect some disagreement, but your ignorant nit picking of my posts isn't worthy of someone who claims to be an adult. At least try to get it right if you want to discuss something, and if you don't like what I'm saying (even after you do get it right), feel free to use the ignore function.

Case in point. No one owes you a certain plex price. Plex is a way for people with enough in game wealth to trade that wealth to others (usually people who are time poor or who hate in game wealth generating activities) in a mutually beneficial way. It's a slick move by CCP to combat golf farmers.
But it's not some kind of space-constitutional right. I'm not on a high horse, I'm on the common sense (which is generally lacking from society these days) horse.

PLEX for most is a goal; to play for free. At your level, sure you can play the wealth-trading game but for the vast majority of players, earning enough to PLEX your account is THE goal of EVE.
I'm borderline as to being able to PLEX my account but that's getting harder and harder as it's requiring more and more time to get the ISK together. I don't mind paying for game time but if the goal of PLEX'ing becomes unreachable with an acceptable time investment then EVE will have to be put aside. |

If someone lets "getting enough isk to buy plex to keep getting enough isk to buy plex" be their goal, couldn't they just buy a real life treadmill and be just as happy (and lose weight)?
It's no one's fault if people get it wrong about what a thing is, but they should expect some kind of magical intervention from the powers that be to help them keep that misunderstanding going.
The actual problem with plex is that plex was cheap enough that people could get it with just a few hours per month of PVE activities (which got them hooked on the idea that they could easily "play for free. Now that plex is approaching a more reasonable price level, the people who got hooked on cheap plex are reacting like cut off drug addicts.
This has happened with a lot of things in game, High sec lvl 5 missions, the original insane isk spewing incursions, 400 mil per hour FW missioning, Tracking Titan/Scimitar combined with the original frigless Forsaken Hubs in null sec that paid out 500+ bil per hour, high end wormhole farming that was even more insane till CCP nerfed them with Drifters etc etc. People get used to unbalanced advantages really quick and they always react strongly when you take them away. PLEX is actually just the latest examples.
One day this will also happen with skill injectors, and the withdrawals from that are going to be something to see. |

Not at all, happens always after a stock split or currency change.
"old" plex was over 1b, people looked at it and said "hmm 1b, that's a lot", Now it's a few million and you have to multiply by 500 so small difference of "0.2 mil", which is hard to see, adds up.

Well, it's easier to drop a bit of ISK into PLEX as an investment instead of forking out over a billion each time. Then there's the unification between old PLEX/Aurum into NuPlex (I believe that's the term) meaning that there's higher demand for PLEX due to ship skins/extractors e.t.c (the stuff that was previously covered by Aurum).
Finally I would imagine there's also a fair bit of speculation going on in regards to the upcoming secret auction for the AT, as well as what I've listed above.
So no reason to get the pitchforks out just yet |

/me shrugs.
I subscribe and the Bus only give out plex on special occasions so this is not a lake I have a boat in. Yes, things are more expensive . . . but all that triggers is a 'back when I was a kid . . . ' talk from us old players.
Inflation happens. In Eve, the economic system is a decent player driven microcosm and I would expect things to steadily grown more expensive. Thus, I am not sure what the whining is about unless it is the same whining I do when I go shopping for groceries or go to a bar and see current prices.
so I subscribe, I play, I enjoy the game
I am weird, that way

It's not "for the moment". Those are permanent. People are stupid. They don't math "good". So the "bonus" is CCPs way of telling people how much extra they get by buying in bulk. |

Surprised? No. 2-3 mill per PLEX is much more accesible than 1+ bill per PLEX. Before the PLEX change, only the richer players could use PLEX as gold item, now everybody can. Demand has increased a lot.
There are traders who already had serveral trillions invested in PLEX before the change. These guys are now using ISK as toilet paper. |

Im not surprised either. I expected a 2-300mil increase in the immediate aftermath. Calling it at 1.6bil by end of summer. Maybe even 1.8 bil by Chrstimas, depending on how the injector situation goes.

To OP: yes, i am surprised that PLEX is skyrocketed. Actually i expected PLEX to get cheaper at least for some time: all these PLEX from nowhere (from aurum noone used)... But yeah, i'm always bad at market speculation so i'm not surprised that i failed.
