Do you think prices will go down to 400m again one day ?
Or are we just gonna have to buy our plexes 900m next year ? |

People dont sell plex for expensive stuff anymore... they run incursions. I used to sell a plex now and again to get some extra isk for a new ship or faction mod i needed. I no longer need to do this.
For anyone that hasnt run an incursion the average pay when the fleet gets running is 80-100 mil an hour. I have 4 accounts and still have no problem plexing all 4 when im making 300 or 400 mil a day.
No one is puying extra plex to sell on the market becuase there is a massive isk fountain in EVE now.
Proof that the system is broken.. I know people moving back to empire from null because the isk is better in empire... i was of the understanding it was meant to be the other way around.
Only way to fix the the problem is hit incursions with the nerf bat... which i really dont want to happen

You do realize these are not mutually exclusive.

It looks like that massive isk fountain is being used to speculate in PLEX.
Hint: The longer these prices are maintained over the next few weeks, the more PLEX will come into the game, and the deeper and harder the crash will be. I'm looking forward to it. |

I am afraid you completly missed the point of the previous poster, he is an example of a person who moved from a supplier of plex to a consumer of plex, simply because of the disaster that is Incursions. I am pretty sure there are plenty of people in this catagory who spend a 4-5 days a month "making money" and the rest spending it, and whatever the shortfall is made up in plex. They do not mind spending the money from the outside so they bought plex.
For example a person who spends 20-25 hours a month earned them 800 mil to a billion missioning so they needed a little more for multiple account, cool toys etc and they paid for their account with money. Now they run Incursion and make 1.6 billion to 2.5 billion and that covers all the toys and maybe the plex for the alt account, so this guy went from a net 1 supplier of plex per month to a net -2 consumer of plex in a month.
I think this is a huge impact on the market, maybe wrong but it pretty much has to be part of it. |

I better stop playing EVE rather than paying 1.5 billion mounthly for my 3 accounts. If greedy part of EVE community want to see PLEX "consumers" leave, then it should be so. |

We don't know how isolated his experience is... and he may have been getting to the power missioner level anyway without incursions... but all things being equal I'll trust his own words.
This change would point to a drop in volume, or if not a drop in volume a commensurate increase in people creating and selling isk to make up for the supply he and other's like him curtailed.
All in all if true we can surmise:
- (If above) people spendint $ are getting more isk per $ l
- people running excusrions are geting more Isk per hour
- people who don't enjoy running excursions or don't believe in spending incremental $ to achieve game goals are seprated that much further than before from those two groups.
CCP still depends on regurlar subscribers for a very very large percentage of their income. If people paying one subscripton a month feel increasingly seperated in resources, it becomes a game play issue. Of course this has always been something that existed, but vast differences were more left to outliers than the incursions theory coupled with steady plex volume realiizng higher isk per $ suggests. |

Mission running dosnt come close to the amount of isk incursions pay out.
Roughly..
1 hour mission running in a machariel with a 1-2bil faction fit makes a MAXIMUM of 30 to 35 mil
1 hour incursion in a maelstrom with T2 fit and meta4 guns makes a MINIMUM of 60 to 65 mil
I have a guy in my corp thats 3 months old and is already running incursion. Meaning he will NEVER have to sell plex to buy shinny stuff as he now makes 300 million isk a day.
A large portion of the plex market is new players wanting to get shinny stuff fast without grinding hundreds of lvl4 missions just to get that faction mod or ship. With Incursions added to tthe game there is no longer a reason to buy plex with cash to sell for isk.
What would you rather do? Spend over $10 or just run incursions for ONE day to get that extra 400-500 mil for your new mach/NM/bhaal/vindi
The price will continue to rise as less and less plex are added to the market.

Here are some things I thought about on price increase. Trying to figure out what is causing it so I can plan. I play with plex I earn from industry and I could keep up with the increase, I'm just not sure I want to.
I thought about the RL economy, which hasn't really changed for a year+, so not sure if that's a reason. EU economy? Employment/unemployment is flat so not sure if that's a factor. But if not, then the plex bought with RLM would be pretty much constant?
Incursions seem to be more popular but I thought they were pretty popular a few months ago. Any idea on this? I did a bunch back in the day when it came out but haven't since. Are people doing more and more of these now? This patch came out in January and prices began going up in August. I'm not sure it took 8 months to find the new shiny isk maker. However, this is a new way the game injects isk into the game (Mission rewards and rat bounties the others). Maybe this lag had to catch up? If we assume a relatively constant supply of people buying plex with RL money and selling on market, more people with isk buys more plex in game?
What about Incarna and the Nex? I know it's not popular and I'm not personally interested, but are people buying plex to buy items? I do see quite a few monocles in poster avatars. I thought these things were so expensive people wouldn't buy? Assuming a relatively constant supply of people buying plex with RL money and selling on game market, this would cause lack of supply if more are buying for the Nex?
The plex offers CCP has done make a noticable dent in the trend, but it doesn't last long as most of that supply is purchased. I will probably jump on a few plex if they do one soon, but I don't see it affecting the overall price. Any thoughts of when this might plateau?
Finally, the QEN 2010 shows no real change in plex price as the supply of plex enters the market. So does this mean that isk is coming into the game faster now than supply can meet it? Not sure if plex prices came out in the monthly updates now or whatnot. Be interesting to see this data anyway.
Is this just incursions being the new shiny? Combination of that and Nex?
