Why are there still more than 4 pages worth of replies on this thread? The person who first replied to the OP everything that the OP needs to know:
"PLEX does not devalue ISK (in terms of currency devaluation)."
The OP's point is null. |

Back then i guess the prices where 10-15 times that of what they are now forcing people to go play solo doing missions.
Its not the people, its the BOTS that have completely decimated the world of eve online, just like those foreigners coming in and taking your jobs, Just like the bosses fireing you and hiring cheep labor (running bots themselves and stop buying your rightfully mined minerals).
What kind of crack talk is this? Do you not realize that in order to stay competitive in this globalized economy, it makes absolute sense to rely on overseas labor to reduce input costs?
Kinda sad to see folks like this mumbling nonsense on Market Discussion forum. I thought folks here were somewhat more enlightened than the average Joe.
My sincere apologies if any of your family members' factory jobs were taken by the immigrants from the emerging markets. They could use this time to go to college and be immune to structural unemployment. |

Now a new player can just buy a couple of plex and have a billion on day 1. So plex devalues isk because it makes it so eazy to obtain. On average players have more/spend more isk. More faction battleships and T3s.
Plex does not deflate isk because it does not appear to have changed prices.
There was mention of no gold in eve. Perhaps plex is the closest. Gold can be bought in rl to hedge against inflation. Plex can be bought to hedge against increasing devaluation of isk.
I suspect botting is playing a role in the high isk value of plex. Given CCPs appalling response to it, I guess we will never know.
I apologize for my blunt comment, but I believe that you do not understand the concept of devaluation. PLEX merely changes ownership of ISK from one person to another. It does not generate a single additional ISK nor replaces or substitutes ISK as another tool of trade.
You claim that PLEX is a devil's spawn. If there is an ample supply of PLEX on the market, wouldn't it be a win-win scenario for everyone? 1) Those who have real money benefits by replacing his hard earned sweat and toil for PLEXs 2) More PLEXs in the circulation = cheaper PLEXs. Those who can't afford to pay the game with real money wins.
If you are worried about the devaluation of ISK, PLEX is not the source. |
