Magnetic Wolf	Posted - 2009.09.03 18:32:00 - [1] so what do you think this means? EVE Online crisis? Some manipulation? Where are the gurus who said they were gonna cost 700m a unit when the fanfest made them to get to 400m???

Dynast Eve Defence Force Systematic-Chaos	Posted - 2009.09.03 19:29:00 - [6] Originally by: Magnetic Wolf so what do you think this means? It means more active accounts for CCP.

Where are the gurus who said they were gonna cost 700m a unit when the fanfest made them to get to 400m??? Most of the Guru's said they'd go back down after the rush for fanfest. Your definition of guru may vary. Dzil's Corp Sales - 200m
lumikku	Posted - 2009.09.03 21:11:00 - [11] They probably have some sort of 'hard' bottom, or ccp will implement a 'hard' bottom, since plex was introduced to lower the amount of RMT. The lower the plex prices go, the more lucrative it becomes for RMT 'operators' to Get involved in EVE. And again more pressure om ccp for a hard bottom??
Frenden Dax Dax Acquisitions	Posted - 2009.09.03 21:13:00 - [12] Originally by: Magnetic Wolf so what do you think this means? It means more manu-alts come online. looks at Clair It also means I have to work less to keep my two accounts alive. Originally by: Karanth Or, in other words, random people can't usurp rights from government because they are insane/bitter/vengeful/made of potato salad.
Kerfira	Posted - 2009.09.03 21:28:00 - [13] Originally by: Magnetic Wolf so what do you think this means? EVE Online crisis? Some manipulation? Where are the gurus who said they were gonna cost 700m a unit when the fanfest made them to get to 400m??? It is a simple matter of a lot of people buying the tulip onions... ehhh correction, PLEX... while the biggest purchaser of them got banned (the macro'ers). It is also a simple matter of a lot of people noticing that the price of PLEX were rising and then jumped to get in on it, but then failed to anticipate that summer was in fact ending and PLEX buying was dropping off.... What will it mean? The smart people will hold on to their low-value PLEX until Christmas where the price will most likely rise again. Other people will whine on the forums. Yet other again will whine deep in their soul, but keep it to themselves. And the last group (which is the large majority) will not give a rats ass.... Other than that, basic Economy 101 will rule! Originally by: CCP Wrangler EVE isn't designed to just look like a cold, dark and harsh world, it's designed to be a cold, dark and harsh world.
Casiella Truza Ecliptic Rift	Posted - 2009.09.03 21:30:00 - [14] I don't believe CCP will implement a price floor. The QEN showed us that the market has a substantial inventory, so as supply continues to exceed demand, the price point should continue to fall until they equalize. -- EVE Blog EVE Twitter

Your definition of guru may vary. I never bought that to begin with, hmm note to self start rumor about how vexors will pwn in the alliance tournament with the new rules and buy vexors to sell during tournament, people that did are either gullible, or well I guess there is a sufficient portion of the eve playerbase that lives right near CCP HQ and doesn't need to pay for hotel or airfare. what was it 5 plex for a fanfest ticket? well after paying for hotel + airfare I really don't think that like $80 for the fanfest ticket is going to kill me, and especially not going to make me spend 1.5bil isk (using the old 300mil, if not more from the previous plex prices) or maybe I just underestimate people.
Steve Thomas	Posted - 2009.09.04 03:31:00 - [20] the whole plex for pass thing was just flat out bizaroland. what they thought they had that many people playing EVE online where they were going to hold the convention? If It was being held in Europe or the US I could have seen it but honestly what the heck were they thinking? **. . . . . . . .** Stop freaking worrying about why things the developers did 5 years and more ago no longer make sense.

Mr Costington	Posted - 2009.09.04 06:22:00 - [22] Price correction. 30d GTC used to be worth only 150 mil less than a year ago, and that was back when datacores (passive income to support an alt) were worth a lot more.
Carniflex Caldari Fallout Research Fallout Project	Posted - 2009.09.04 06:58:00 - [23] Originally by: Saartje Sarel Which means prices will rise again .. Sweet dream, but unless those macros come back in force or something radical will happen it's unlikely that they will reach again those peak values of approx 400 mil. I mean it's reasonable expect that price will hit as low as approx 225 and then bounce back up to around 250 with mild fluctuations somewhere around that in the light of QEN PLEX graph.

DS S	Posted - 2009.09.04 20:37:00 - [25] prices dropped down to 277mil in jita yesterday, then went back i[ tp 295 mil
Carniflex Caldari Fallout Research Fallout Project	Posted - 2009.09.05 15:57:00 - [26] Originally by: DS S prices dropped down to 277mil in jita yesterday, then went back i[ tp 295 mil Small fluctuations are quite normal as it's fortunately quite rare even for market to just fall off cliff. Based on QEN data however we can expect considerable downward pressure on PLEX price medium to long term.
Adunh Slavy	Posted - 2009.09.05 21:17:00 - [27] Breaking - Jita PLEX Speculators drive market. New PLEX Bank IPO drove PLEX prices to new levels on rumors of T2 PLEX. But, later breaking news of Rat PLEX drove shockwaves through the market. BillyJoeNoob was quoted as saying, "This rat dropped a plex! I was like whooa Dude!" Political Parties from all corners scrambled to find new ways to tax cartoon investments. After Market crash, Senator UrTaxes'Rmine from Rens was quoted as saying, "Just another bailout, we can always print more" ... Details at 11 after Ren and Stempy in their new adventure, "Space Madness!" The Real Space Initiative - V5 (Forum Link)
Mire Stoude The Undesirables	Posted - 2009.09.06 20:35:00 - [28] Originally by: Cardiana it means what it means This fully explained the situation nicely. I agree with everything said.
Claudia Voltaire	Posted - 2009.09.06 21:50:00 - [29] Carn is quite correct, it's extremly unlikely the prices will reach the peeks they were being held at when the isk farmers were sapping them up. Double motives, but ccp knew exactly what they were doing when they rinsed the farmers, the blurb about we care about the players gamming expierence, they just cared more about their active accounts in truth. The balance had been tipped, it was quite clear from the forum responces and threads people actually were letting 2nd 3rd accounts slide. You call the toss, im sure ccp cared more about the thousands of accounts from their hardcore audience that would have headed west, coupled with lost account/multiple account creation, over 4-5k farmers they had to ditch. While ccp couldn't control the celling, they can't control the bottoming effect either. Ofcourse i could be wrong, with the power to do as they wish, multiple accounts could be made more appealing, increasing demand, and im sure many will 'come back' for their annual 'is it any better yet' 3 month eve fix around content update time.
Viae	Posted - 2009.09.06 22:41:00 - [30] I had the crux of this figuired, kinda forgotten what I came out with, think it was something like this: CCP cut down on RMT = less demand for GTC = each GTC generates less isk = more GTC to achieve same goal = more revenue for CCP It's crude but it's not far off.
