The rising price? Is because CCP is pumping trillions of isk in to the economy from wormholes and incursions etc. Demand rises, prices rise. There are a slew of other macro economic factors ofc. But on the whole, people are more affluent than they were three years ago.
Expect that to change when they nerf supers, moons and PI. Although what/if/when they are ever going to acknowledge the pve hegomony of incursions and sleepers remains to be seen. They might just opt to continue punishing everyone else for being 'poor' and 'nobby no mates'.  |

It is. But unfortunately they have been burning more than they have been earning on WOD and Dust development for some years. They very recently just had to refinance a large loan too, I don't know how that went but I am guessing not well since they have abruptly refocussed everything on their core business - eve. |

You do realize that not one single ISK has been pumped into the EVE economy through WHs right? WHs are sources of resources which then have to be sold to other players for ISK that already exists in game. The current ISK faucets are: 1. Incursions 2. Mission Rewards 3. Bounties 4. Insurance These are the only ways that ISK enters the game (unless there is something I am forgetting which is possible at this time of night.) I personally think that these ISK faucets desperately need to be re-balanced with the ISK sinks.
I think its pretty telling that since incursions were introduced, technically in the last expansion, they went from being done in t1 bs to requiring 5bn isk faction bs to even get picked up for a fleet. In what? 3 months? |

Risk free pve, technetium in the former NC space etc. More isk in people's wallets, more demand for 'free' game time. Plex supply remaining consistent, means higher prices. So.... ppl want more plex then market can give.... got it. Hmm.... more ppl living on plex then.... ?
Superficially yeah. But there are plenty of plex in people's hangars, its just that speculators try to control the markets and higher prices are better for them.
And yeah re: WH, true. I guess you could say then that the distribution of wealth has become less acute with access to better ships to ***** pve in. Meaning much higher amounts of isk paid out in bounties and LP's. |
