CCP is forcing people to buy PLEX with real money instead of isk at this point  |

Power of Two and resculpts for PLEX seem to be the culprit for this recent spike.

Given the staggering amounts of isk that many folk claim to make running lvl 4 missions, ratting in null, market trading etc, I would have thought that PLEX would need to cost at least 2 billion isk before anyone cared or worried.

So you're saying that PLEX were going for 250-300M less than two weeks ago? Huh, no they weren't, son.

Then if you sell a pile of PLEX right now you can make some huge un-fair levels of ISK!! Go for it!

It wouldn't surprise me if people are hoarding plexes in hope that it increases even more. I also await when people "cash out" and crash the market.

Power of two was around years ago, when the PLEX was low.

Have 4 accounts. Tough financial month though. Wanted to buy PLEX as I usually do for at least 2 of the accounts.
1.2 Billion for 2 PLEX would wipe me out though.
So, this means 2 accounts are being suspended this month in the next 3 days. Loss for CCP. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
If a 2 1/2 year player like myself cannot make this viable, the entire idea behind PLEX is blown to smithereens. |

Not really. The reason plex prices are so high is because there is a high enough demand to increase the price. Which means that SOMEONE is able to still buy them. May suck for you but not for CCP. If anything this is good for CCP because it means more people are going to buy Plex for $$ in order to get the injection of isk due to its high price, which CCP makes more off plex sales then subs.

Power of Two was not a one-time promotion. They've run that promotion on and off several times since: http://community.eveonline.com/news/newsFromEve.asp?newsTitle=power-of-2-autumn

Agreed.
But it WAS supposed to be an alternative to cash payments for subscriptions. It's just not viable or economical for that purpose atm.
edit: But indeed there is WAY TOO MUCH ISK ingame. |

If a person is looking to buy 1b isk using PLEX, then which of the following is better for CCP?
A) That person buying 3 PLEX at -ú16.99 each and selling them for 333m each to other players.
B) That person buying 2 PLEX at -ú16.99 each and selling them for 500m each to other players.

Erh? How can that be a loss for CCP?
CCP only receives money when people buy PLEX from them (or GTC from resellers).

Hmm, the idea behind PLEX that people who have the time and willingness to invest said time and effort can buy game time from people who doesn't have that time and/or rather make that money in RL.
I can't see how your age in the game has anything to with that.

If you take inflation into account, you get the following maths:

CCP isn't forcing anybody to do anything. PLEX prices are governed by supply and demand. Simple as that. I am sure there are people that buy up mass amounts of PLEX and resell them raising the cost of PLEX artificially. I saw a guy the other day with over 100 PLEX for sale. He is likely a PLEX trader and thats how he makes his money.
Frankly...the cheaper PLEX is...the more profitable for CCP they are.
