The more interesting question would be imho: is CCP going to take on the role of the FED again and intervene to stabilize PLEX prices? |

The next big war should partially reverse this aspect of the trend, although the reduced buying of PLEX from CCP is probably the bigger factor.
TL:DR - we need a new 0.0 war to stimulate the economy. Why do we have to have the war? We're tired and still recovering. I think you (highsec collectively, really) should get together, have everyone declare war on everyone else, and spend several hundred billion isk blowing each other up. If you do it right you can just do an assist chain so you don't even have to really spend anything on the war itself. And this would, in fact, do more to "stimulate the economy" than another nullsec war would, as we spend our isk on lots of non-mineral things, and you'd disrupt all the miners in highsec. Or you could just admit your idea is sort of dumb and bad and that even really big null wars are farts in a windstorm when it comes to effect on the market as a whole. The entire expenditure on everything - not just mineral based objects, everything - by all sides in the Fountain war was perhaps a couple trillion isk. The mineral market alone moves (if I counted right) ~380 billion isk worth of minerals per day, in Jita alone. Tritanium alone is nearly a 100b isk/day market.
Stop making up excuses and go conquer all of null already, geez! :P |

I'd call the Amazon PLEX sale a form of intervention nevertheless :P |

(I think he gave the number in the fanfest video, but I can't be bothered to listen to it again right now.) This drove the pice down which helped out all us parasite station traders who sucked them up like hors d'oeuvres, burped politely and then said what's for dinner. Meanwhile his PLEX dumping was competing against CCP's actual paying customers and probably hurting CCP's bottom line in the process. What if this time, someone said "Let's do it differently." Instead of selling those confiscated PLEX for worthless isk, let's sell them for real money. Run a limited promotion through Amazon where they get one free confiscated PLEX for every three PLEX they buy. Of course the actual process is just an accounting adjustment, but you get the idea. ,
I think the number of confiscated PLEX sold was 2k, in fact, I'm pretty sure it was 2k. Dr. Egg was quick to add that they hadn't even began to touch their confiscated PLEX pile with that number. Prolly trying to put off insanely rich multi trillionaires from thinking of manipulating CCP into intervening and riding the waves for profit.
But I don't see CCP reselling PLEXes which have already been paid for once with real cash. |

Yeah, if I were CCP, I wouldn't either.
If I were CCP I would have sold out, cashed out and left EVE a burning pile of rubble in nothing the great game that it is today, all for my personal benefits.
Luckily for all of you, I'm not CCP... |

Third char training that is being introduced in a few days will most likely give another push to prices. |

This for real? 3 PLEX for 5 dollah??? If it is I can imagine this having a rather profound effect on PLEX pricing.... |

You call that a ******* sale? Here in Euro country it's 16 euro a plex, if you buy a sixpack. That's close to like $20 or something a PLEX?

*looks for a way to blame it on the Goons*
