Naturally, this thread will be hijacked by the null sec zealots screaming "nerf high sec!", but does anyone at CCP, who is not part of the null sec cadre, have any idea why plex prices are out of control, and have numbers to back it up? |

Supply and Demand.
Less players supplying, more players demanding.
This is so easy. Next question? |

I know there's a lot of people that are going to take issue with me on this... but let me tell you what I think.
I think by Feb 1 2013 EvE is going to have well over a million accounts (DUST players coming in)
I think PLEX prices are going to be over 750 mil ea by mid December.
I think both of those estimates are conservative.
My advice? If you need PLEX to run your account... buy now. It's going to get crazy.

It's totally NOT the faction warfare people exploiting at all. It MUST be the miners.
Obviously, CCP has already done something about it, they ran a special on plex prices. I have no doubt they'll do it again, and soon. |

You would say that wouldn't you. And brrrrr...... wrong.
For mine, the ones complaining are the ones not doing the things that allow people to have enough to buy plex. Simple.
BUT
There is a more sinister concern that supply has actually gone down. THAT would be something we need to worry about.
Anyone got the numbers? |

OP is just making everyone want to go out and buy PLEX so that the market drops and he buys them all up and flips once we no longer have any. |

Yah I PLEXed out both of my accounts to late 2014 a few months ago anticipating this. I was hesitant to go out so far because I wasn't sure if CCP would even last that long, but having played the DUST beta now I am really sold. It's going to be a very good game... and will have more depth than any FPS anyone has ever played. I figured the probability of CCP pulling it off was pretty slim, but now it looks to me like they've got a winner. The market implications for EvE will be profound. This game was long overdue for a big shake-up, and I really think we are going to get it. There's going to be ample opportunity for EvE players to get rich on the changes, but there's also going to be a lot more competition across the board. Now is the buyers market for all things EvE. The sellers market is going to explode after the winter expansion and when everyone in EvE knows what DUST is bringing in.

I <3 crazy Dinsdale threads.
Hearing the great Nullsec Zealot <> CCP Conspiracy he concocted about my hobby just plain makes me giggle.
I expect this will end in an EVE themed Alex Jones style documentary eventually.

Hmm lets see, it's an unregulated market place, some players have obscene amounts of ISK to speculate with and some have none, nothing to see here  , move along to the next instance of tinfoilery.

Here I made this just for you: about 3 years of PLEX price history for 27th of SEP. ...and there's always a price spike around the winter expansion....

PLEX prices are fine, if anything they're valued too low. ISK is so easy to get right now, not counting FW farming. |

It's kind of interesting how the plex prices spike after a T5 cashout ... I'm sure FW had nothing to do with it though, and it's all a nullsec conspiracy backed by CCP.

Free market, which respondes to supply, demand & inflation.

The thing is. FW doesn't create any isks at all. So that isk has to come from somewhere else and as such other people should have less isks for plex's or need to sell more plex's. As such FW can't be an explanation on its own.

As expected, bunch of posts pushing various agendas.
Frankly, I have no real clue what is causing a record high in price.
And I would truly like CCP to explain what is happening.
They have a wealth of numbers, and I would love for one of then to take up the challenge of deriving an explanation and providing it. |

A lot of people use PLEX as a hedge against inflation too.... that's probably worth noting. I would imagine when they want to buy something they will liquidate some of their stocks. Something as huge as the modular POS system might do it... but we are SO light on details on the winter expansion it's hard to time things. We don't even know if modular POSs are going to be in it... might have to wait until summer. ...but I digress. I suspect we are close to having some substantial devblogs laid on us though. It should make things just slightly easier to predict.
