In case you didn't notice ( yeah right ) PLEX prices are hitting dirt now. Why? How long? To what level? Who knows..

hmm, this thread gave me an idea that if we all stop buying plex for a month-two may be prices will drop to sub-dirt level

I'm reminded of the old airplane bit:
A 747 over the mid-Atlantic experiences a rough running engine, so they have to shut it down.
Pilot to passengers: "Not to worry, we still have 3 good engines, but we'll be 30 minutes late."
A little while later, a second engine sputters and stops.
Pilot to passengers: "Not to worry, we still have 2 good engines, but we'll be an hour late."
A little while later, the third engine catches fire and has to be shutdown.
Pilot (sounding nervous) to passengers: "We still have 1 good engine, but we'll have to divert to an alternate airport, where we'll get you all a connecting flight. Expect to be at least 3 hours late."
One passenger, frustrated with the delays, to another passenger: "Geez, I hope that last engine doesn't go, or we'll be up here all day!"

People are liquidating stocks after "Remap 4 plex" speculation fail and there is a kind of panic on the plex market now. I'm wondering if prices fall below 300m in coming days but i don't expect this. Anyway summer is coming ( Incarna ) so this can be good long term investment if you have a couple of billions.

Nope. I am a buyer and i want to convince more people to start buy. Why? More people will buy it, the price will raise. Also when plexes are around 300m it is rather safe investment as they won't drop below that price.

A buyer wouldn't want to convince people to buy the same stuff since it raises the prices. But you already know this.

So you're hoping they don't keep falling?
I don't think there's anything fundamental keeping them above 300M. You don't have to go back very far to see PLEX at ~275M.
I don't necessarily doubt that prices will recover eventually, but I see no reason to predict that recovery will be large, sustained, or soon.
I think you're much better at the moment investing in something else. |

300mil?
You don't have to go back too far and you'll find 300mil was expensive for a 90 day GTC.
I'm guessing if CCP put as much of an effort into catching bots as they put in to convincing the public they are banning bots we could see plex at sub 100mil.

lol what? you're a madman. Sub 100mill plex? 90 day GTC are long gone, sub 100mill plex is ludicrous. Do you have any idea how much isk is in the game right now? What utter nonsense.

On that note... Any guess on the percentage of players that pay for EvE with real money?
I've been a lurker for awhile now, but rarely post. I paid for one 3-month stint when I first started, and have been paying via in-game isk ever since. (A bit more than a year). It isn't all that hard to make 300-350 million isk, above and beyond what you need for skills, ships, supplies every month.
I am probably about average in this regards to making isk in EvE. So the question becomes: How does CCP continue to make enough money to fund future development? |

Every plex you buy was paid for by someone else. There are plenty of people that value their time over a few bucks.

Someone buys a Game Time Code (GTC). They can sell it here though the time code forum or break it into 2 PLEX in game. There they can sell it to a buy order or put it on a sell order.
CCP get more money from subs paid by PLEX. 17.50 per month instead of 15.00.
The OP is just failing at getting a rise out of PLEX prices. Anyone who would bother to give an honest evaluation of the PLEX market would have predicted the lower priced PLEX atm... I did back in October. PLEX will roll around in the low 300's for a while, until CCP announces another thing in game that you can use PLEX for then the lemmings will shoot it up to 400 million isk (or just short) and then it will drop back down to it's non speculation price... about where it is now.
PLEX has 2 guaranteed elements to it. The first is that is has a reasonably regular price cycle. Second, there is a huge oversupply of PLEX and the price is only kept propped up by speculators. Both kinda lead into the other.

Thanks for the insight (and others as well).
I guess for me, it's a part of the game within a game to see if I can continue to fund myself through only in-game isk. My character is learning skills and I'm having fun... all without spending a dime of my own money over the last 9 months or so.
Yeah, technically I could make more money doing something else during that time and then use that money to buy PLEX, but I don't think I would find that as fun.
Anyway, good discussion. |

They didn't lose money, they just didn't get money for the magical internet item they created in their database.
Depends on how much ccp wants to take isk out of the economy.

Probably not at the expense of giving someone a free month of subscription (cause yanno, nobody will have paid the RL isk for that plex)

I think it's more likely that CCP would generate some ISK and buy up PLEX just to destroy them. They could make real money and the only side effect would be destroying the Eve economy.
In fact, the Eve economy's pretty shot already. Maybe they have been doing this all along?
Maybe GMs and devs spend their spare time on piewat alts outside Jita 4-4 scanning for ships carrying PLEX to suicide gank and destroy them. More free money!

Sup dawg? I see you have a stock of plex you got stuck with when the market decided to break 320m down.
Now's a great time to buy plex because:
There will be no plex for remaps There will be no plex for character transfer There will be no plex for portrait swaps There aren't any fanfest tickets for plex There's no buy side demand for plex for the next 5 months (summer yo)

^This^ I'm more than sure that CCP still controls the market only the way of controlling it changed. In the past they regulate prices via NPC orders but it was lame and they decided to change that. They are doing that more subtle way thease days. How you may ask? It is easy - by controlling stocks. They simply regulate amount of every core product on the market. In other words if there is too many plexes on the market and price is falling rapidly they simply buy out some of the stock using fake alts.
CCP will never allow to bring PLEX prices below certain level because it will ruin their buisness. In case you don't know: THEY ARE HERE TO MAKE MONEY. The higher is price of plex the better to CCP.
This game exist on market since 2003 and there is almost no inflation on the game market. Do you think how it is possible?
Most mmo game's markets was ruined by half of that time by players itself by produceing more stuff than market ever needs and pulling down prices to the level that game's currency had no value.
But eve's market is still healthy... Think about that.

Weren't plexes worth SIGNIFICANTLY less when they came out? under 100 mill isk even?
So much for that theory. As for the inflation I think its due to station traders. We continually drive the price of goods down. That and the ability to produce any good.
Since whenever a product goes up in price, the profit margin in making it goes up, more industry people make that product. But then, when selling it, they compete and drive the price down.
The main CCP impact was the fixed insurance that set a bottom price level for minerals but that seems to have changed afaik.

You are all wrong.
Let's do some math then. Let's say there is 40 000 players online every single second on the server. Each of them is killing 1 rat during game session of the day. Rat is dropping item x ( let's say it is a shield booster ). So by killing 1 rat dayly they generate 40 000 shield boosters on the market every day. That will be 280 000 items weekly and 1200000 items monthly. This should create a flood of shield boosters on the market bringing their price to the worthless level. Check market stocks now. Do you see any flood? Or maybe stocks are FIXED and amounts of items of every product only vary to the certain point?
I tell you player driven economy is a myth.

i wouldn't be surprised that most people don't loot at all. and those that do loot, recycle most loot for minerals. there are even people that loot every single item and just toss it in a can, and keep it there. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon." |

Not every mission but some of them for sure. Farming AE for 6 days you can make about 200m from loot and salvage and i know ppl who do this regulary.
Anyway the reason for create this post was to calm down plex market a bit.( I've bought xx of them at 325m / piece) After rapid drop 4 day ago the price stabilized at good level for me (323m atm). Sorry guys for this little manipulation but i had to protect my investment  Still Plexes are at minimum ( for 6 month time interval).

How much effect do you genuinely think this thread had on the plex market? I'd say none, tbh. People don't just run out and buy plex from market because random dude goes "OH BUY PLEX" we're not that ****-stupid with our money.

Wrong. It brings those shield boosters to the value of their reprocessed minerals. Which is exactly the situation with most stuff at or under meta 3. Market working as expected.

Look i really don't care what was the main reason for plex pirces stop falling but they did. My post was intended to help stabilize those prices. If it help me reach the goal - good, if prices stabilized all by itself and my post had nothing to do with that - also good. In both cases goal is reached. I just had a few liquid billions to put into something and as i think plexes will rise again to 380m in coming months it will bring nice profit. I'm here to increase my wealth not e-peen. If it sounds like that - it was not intended.

We'll see if they actually stopped falling or not. Glancing at Jita, it still looks like they're declining to me.

I agree with Tasko. Prices in Jita are what? 326.5 / 316.5?
While I think it would be silly to say "PLEX will never again be 380M", I don't think that's going to happen soon. I think PLEX will stay low for some time now as there's a massive oversupply.
I think you'll get your profit eventually, but I think you'd have been better investing in something else.

They stopped dropping (quickly) for a couple of days, they tend to stabilize and even rise over a the weekend even if the driving trend is down. If you wait until mid week you'll see plex prices drop rapidly again. I'm pretty certain that within a week or two we'll be looking at 310/315, and a week or two after that 305/310 and so on.
tl;dr- there's nothing to stop the current downward trend (yet) don't expect a spike until there is.

Anyway the reason for create this post was to calm down plex market a bit.( I've bought xx of them at 325m / piece) After rapid drop 4 day ago the price stabilized at good level for me (323m atm). Sorry guys for this little manipulation but i had to protect my investment  Still Plexes are at minimum ( for 6 month time interval).
r o f l... "Ohhh we didn't see coming !" ...I think we'll forgive you son...even regarding the amazing influence you had on the PLEX market. "Protect my investment". Oh my...

Look i really don't care what was the main reason for plex pirces stop falling but they did. My post was intended to help stabilize those prices. If it help me reach the goal - good, if prices stabilized all by itself and my post had nothing to do with that - also good. In both cases goal is reached. I just had a few liquid billions to put into something and as i think plexes will rise again to 380m in coming months it will bring nice profit. I'm here to increase my wealth not e-peen. If it sounds like that - it was not intended.
"l o l". "Me me me, i say "buy plex" so plex stop falling. May be ?" 1) It didn't help at all, obviously but 2) the only thing you actually reached is looking stupid.

You are all wrong.
Let's do some math then. Let's say there is 40 000 players online every single second on the server. Each of them is killing 1 rat during game session of the day. Rat is dropping item x ( let's say it is a shield booster ). So by killing 1 rat dayly they generate 40 000 shield boosters on the market every day. That will be 280 000 items weekly and 1200000 items monthly. This should create a flood of shield boosters on the market bringing their price to the worthless level. Check market stocks now. Do you see any flood? Or maybe stocks are FIXED and amounts of items of every product only vary to the certain point?
I tell you player driven economy is a myth.
You are all wrong + your calculations are probably the funniest i've seen for a while. I mean...seriously : 1) There isn't 40K players online H24 2) Each one do not kill a rat each day (btw you start talking about each second and then about "day session", anyway...) : how many just mine ? Trade ? Prod ? Pvp ? We don't know, but OBVIOUSLY, far less than 40k players rat every day. 3) So now you're going to tell me : "that's an average number, some kill 100 rats, others 0". Y, but : "rat is dropping X item". Each one of them ? So the "100 rats" killed by the player who do that, they each drop something ? "..." 4) "Let's say it is a shield booster" : the same single item ? 5) "40 000 shield boosters on the market, do you see any flood" -> ??????????????????????????????????????????????
I must say i'm amazed. So assuming they all drop something, they all drop the SAME thing, and from this point you calculate it adds "xxxxx items" to the market, which should result in a crash of the prices. 
Ok, nice and what about the OTHERS items ? Can you believe this ? They all drop different things, so rather than 40k item on a single market, there is x, xx or xxx new items on hundreds of market. And depending on how common they are, they cost more or less. Too hard to understand, really ? Please keep investing your money, we need people like you.
Pointless to say that Tutskii was totally right, but i guess his try to teach you something was as useless as mine is.

While it is true there are no PLEX for remaps, the PLEX for character transfer is implemented and working.

Why spend billions on something that might take months to get your investment back, if your a mission runner fair enough, but if your a trader, you haven't a clue, and best of all you post in MD about it, sure way to get ****** up!
have fun waiting on your return lol :)
