PLEXing 3 accounts. Somewhere around 700-800 mil I'd consider using RM for one.

Only plex when I want to check something, then use the remainder of the month to troll the forums. Other then that my accounts stay inactive. Though I have like 20b so not really worried about the price. |

I've always wondered who is buying all this PLEX with money? I know of a handful of people who may of bought one or two plex in their EVE career. I know many more who sub 1-2 alt accounts month in and month out with PLEX. It would seem to me that the demand should far outweigh the supply. |

Please post the redacted titles, so we can giggle mercilessly at your expense 
When the time involved spent grinding for plex exceeds the time taken before I stop enjoying myself.

100M or so. At 750 or so with a reasonable stable inflation (or deflation) rate I'd consider selling converting a couple hundred into PLEX.

Ed: I say that I' cconsider it... but I use the term a little loosely. I probably wouldn't. I'm pretty set for ISK and I'm pulling in a lot more than I spend.
Normally on 5:00 -> 9-10:00 Eve (Aus TZ?)

20B really won't go far once prices reach a few billion per PLEX. |

It does when I only plex 1 month every 6months/year. Plus if my reserve gets low enough I can actually login and flip what I have left. Its not like making money in Eve is hard. |

Apparently there are large number of people who hate "grinding for ISK".
Or are trying to buy win.

It hasn't really go up that much. I don't see why so many threads about it. It's still way below 550m. You can make that in a weekend.

If you look at the market graph over a year it's quite likely that something horrible is about to happen. |

As a more serious answer, on a rational level, it would be maybe 60GÇô80M ISK or so, because any more than that and it takes more grind-time to pay for a month than if I paid for it with cashGǪ
GǪbut that still assumes that I value play time and work time equally, which I don't, so in reality, it would at the very best be half of that.

I *am* looking at the graph. April's spike was bigger... I'm not near jita tho... that graph might show different data.

2,500GÇô3,000 are traded daily in Jita, so that's 80k:ish a month, but there's no telling how many of those are GÇ£newly injectedGÇ¥ (and thus recently sold by CCP) and how many of them are just re-sales and old relistings of pre-existing PLEX.
GǪand then there's the question of how many of them are being stockpiled and how many are being activated for AUR or game time, thus ensuring further sales a month later.

If only they still did QEN it would give a better insight into how many plexes are actually bought and used, to eliminate the white noise that comes from re-listings that shows on the in-game charts. Also I'm curious on how disproportional the injection of isk has become compared to the amount removed. |

Anyone that can generate enough isk with relative ease will pay the plex prices, irrespective of how high it goes. for a large number it's easier to generate isk in-game (no job, student, etc) than to pay cash. |

For me the factors are :
a. the size of the ISK reserve pool at my disposal at the time when PLEX purchasing would be relevant.
or
b. the opportunity cost of acquiring said ISK if the reserve doesn't permit.
There is a modifying factor however : the process of billing my credit card and paying that card's bill through automated payment is fairly more convenient and seamless than buying and applying a PLEX :p
Also, and flame me all you want about it some people here really have a flaw in their logical process, I still believe that it is much better for the financial state of the devs to get my payment than me using a PLEX.

If i had to pay $1 for a monthly subscription I would quit immediately. EVE works because I can spend a few hours a month doing PVE to pay for an entire months worth of PVP and a PLEX to boot. Take that away and EVE is just another run of the mill pay-to-play MMO. |

I buy PLEX with real money because
1) I'm employed and making good money, and
2) I'm a high-roller with expensive tastes and not enough time to grind for ISK.
Really, I buy PLEX for the same reason that mining your own ore for your ship doesn't make it free: my time is money and I make more of it doing employed people stuff rather than grinding in a video game, |

I pay for all of my play time with plex because making isk is fun for me and I have more isk that real money at this point (so to speak and not entirely true, I dont want to pay RL money). Im cheap and If doing what I like pays for my game then more power to me. |
