I suspect spacerich NULL SEC CSMs will get the jump on Dr E's release on any CONFISCATED PLEX price relief & it'll fail to reduce the price signicantly as the SPACERICH GET RICHER
Its the SAME in RL why would Eve be any different

I would hazard a guess that demand is coming from FW players plex'ing accounts via proceeds from LP cashouts, possible PLEX hoarding by speculators and the traditionally busier Q4/Q1 just around the corner too.
CCP can stimulate the supply side by further PLEX buying offers in account management, but the adjustment to demand will require a longer term fix. Then again, I pay RL cash for my sub and tend to use PLEX purely for ISK supply so I'm not really worried either way.
I believe that an old demand is drying up leaving lots of ISK out there to increase the price of PLEX: those that used to spend about a trillion ISK on Titans saw the titans nerfed to near obsolecence so now we have ALOT more ISKies that are no longer tied up in the builing of these behemouths. Would be interesting to see what thosethat used to buy PLEXes fortitansare doing now but that kind o stat I doubbt is not even accessable to Dr E since it isn't really quantifiable except by conjecture

I am interested in CCP's take on it, however.
i DOUBT ccp WILL HAVE A TAKE ON IT
They have closed ranks on almost all economic stats of Eve... no QEN for years, Dr E's blogs have not been commented for months, & CCP Diagoras has not tweeted stats since the beginning of summer.
We are looking at a news blackout from CCP on all things economic.

2) Within the last two months they buffed the amount of ore a single miner could bring in while "improving" FW via letting people farm billions of isk on day-old alts in naked frigs (I've even seen mining frigs used). The increase in isk generation led to an economic event known as "inflation" where prices on everything sky-rocket from an overabundance of currency.
3) Nerfing highsec would lower the PLEX price as an overall reduced isk income would force sellers to bid lower. Carebears don't/won't see this, thinking any proposed changes exist solely for the purpose of dumping them into a gatecamp.
miners are not rolling in ISK its the FW Tier 5 farmers that are the root of the PLEX spike its NULL/LO SEC that needs the ISK nerf with thier LPSTORE reductions & passive TECH income

Hundreds of mining bots pop up in high sec over the last 2 months. Plex prices rocket in the last 2 months. Yep, it can't be miners!
Talking about bad correlations... miners individually unlike FWfarmers are NOT MAKING BILLIONS OF ISK PER WEEK

This will be a good thing, because it means that CCP is getting more money coming in to create them. CCP can't exactly force people to create PLEX.
That has the ring of truth in it if suits are bought with ISK & not AURUM
Ironic-áfact: In the future the pirates and PVPers will likely have no bounties on them, while the risk averse carebears will run around with "wanted" marked across their face. |
