It seems that PLEX might hit the 600 million mark sometime soon and I am thoughtful to why this is happening now.

EVE population is down because of the return to school so one would think there would be less isk generation to buy PLEX which would entail the price should go down (but its not).

However, could it mean that students are more likely spend money on PLEX to sell on the market?

And that without them, there is less to go around.

Certainly its not really inflation because mineral prices are still at a year low.

So what do you think is cauing the upward price movement?

PLEX price will keep increasing due to people not wanting to pay for EVE as it is such a bad game. This will increase PLEX demand and reduce PLEX supply. And the rate of increase will increase exponentially.

It's because goons use ISBoxer to run hisec incursions while ganking their hauler alts in tier 5 FW plexes and ******* salvage ALL cap escalations with dual Noctises that they scammed from RMT renter alliances.

I hope this clears this matter.

I don't know why it happens, but for some reason around the end of the year PLEX prices go up. Typically through december you can see PLEX go as high as 700-750 mil ea but then in the spring they come back down to the 500 level. It's just the cycle I've seen since PLEX was introduced... but I don't know why it happens.

Less people playing EVE in September - November = higher price. Price will fall in February-April though it probably will be higher than 530 mil minimum during last summer. It's good moment to invest into PLEXes and sell them 1-2 months later with 25-40% profit.

Why should he gtfo, does the truth hurt?

CCP is buying plex from the market inorder to drive the price up so more new players will be tempted to buy them and cash them out. Apply tinfoil hat now.......


Will we ever have proof that CCP seeds or buys plex off the market? We know they do we just dont have proof on the extent of the manipulation.

If EVE was truly such a bad game, people would not play it. If you're playing the game, don't moan about it being "so bad". The line between constructive criticism and outright whining is not a thin one.

Actually, we don't know that they do, and we have proof of the manipulation.
The main difference is that they're reusing confiscated PLEX rather than seeding new ones or buying existing ones.

what proof do you speak of?

Simply less people would be relative. There would be less buying both in game and out of game and it would still be about the same price. Seems more likely school students buy more plex and don't play during the school months.

I play EVE in the sense I log on and adjust my ques maybe fool around trading, that's about it.

Local chat makes the game a dull campfest be it gate or station and wormholes are too much of a logistics pain to be a cure for the ailment.

I have no problem admitting I pay to play a bad game. I hope eventually CCP will see the light, EVE has promise, but as it stands its a big pile of mediocre poo and the guys remarks about plex and paying for a bad game are spot on.

The notion school does this or that I believe is off base. Most people in school aren't dropping cash for plex. Adults with free income to do so, do. The school kids want to play free and when they go back to school the demand should drop if the theory were grounded. It doesn't and i'd wager it won't. My reasoning is partly due to what the post I defended suggested that more and more are not wanting to pay for EVE because the enjoyment factor requires hours to produce minutes of fun and the people who are original buyers/sellers of plex are finding less and less reason to continue buying more. A few billion of ISK is all youll really need in highsec where most play as there is a upward ship size you can use and with the protection of local nowhere near enough death occurs to give the demand ISK should have.

Nullsec as a lifestyle requires something that plex can not buy nor can a bigger ship impart. Numbers. Since there is no worthwhile reason to go through the hassle of getting those numbers (you'd need quite a few to compete with null power blocs) Highsec is where most end up and will remain.

War is a waste of ISK. War is essential for a healthy highsec. High sec rots. The supply of plex dwindles while the demand peaks . The demand isn't peaking because of high numbers, its peaking because more and more refuse to pay for the few hours of enjoyment they actually get out of EVE.

You need to come play in lowsec.

Ah, lowsec.

The blobs and elitism of nullsec combined with the bad game mechanics of highsec. A perfect combination of the worst elements of both areas.
