I don't see how rising PLEX prices are a bad solution to their problem. The number of people who completely fail to understand how PLEX work never fails to surprise and appall me. Iam waiting for someone to say that CCP are seeding plexs on the market in order to generate a isk sink, as well as manipulate the market to raise prices.
I am happy to announce that your wait is over:

With a growing PLEX market (PLEX is the item with the highest trade value on the EVE market
on any given day) and its function of facilitating the exchange of game time for ISK, players have
become concerned about PLEX prices. PLEX is sold on an open market in a free exchange between
players, just like most other items in EVE Online. Our core design principle of being hands-off from
these markets also applies to the PLEX market. However, due to its complex function and potential
impact on the velocity of money supply, the Central Bank might intervene in the PLEX market in
order to curb inflation or avoid sudden deflation in the EVE economy. All such action would not
be announced beforehand and only limited information would become public in the quarter after
actions have been taken. These actions would aim at stabilization of the PLEX market and do not
have a specific price target for PLEX or a specific inflation target for prices in EVE.

Brooks: Ok - got it - except that I think they would probably intervene if they deem prices too low for whatever reason just as well.
Some people wont buy plex to resell them on the market if the can make the same amount in 2 hours of ratting - after all there are lots of players without any significant rl income (low income country of origin/college students), so a plex may be a lot of RL money for them.
I don't think CCP market manipulations are responsible for the current increase in price, yet currently, they would profit from a rise in plex prices. Current plex supply is like a loan given to CCP by the players whilst eve was still decent 3 years ago. Due to years of neglect thanks to incarnage, people ae starting to pull out of the game due to general distrust to CCP policies.
Current plex supply is revenue CCP made years ago and invested into fail-projects like WIS, WoD & Mud 90210 - so my guess would be that eve's current revenue is much lower than unsub numbers would suggest.

You mean you buy a GTC, convert it into PLEX and sell it on the market - not 'buying a plex' - just saying...
