I think the price will stabilize at 1B at the end of the year. Edit signature? What's the point? |

I make far more ISK from flipping PLEX on the market than from casual PvE. Thus I would suggest that the reason PLEX prices are so high is because they can be bought and sold on the market, and furthermore they can be hauled between markets.
Gotta have money to make money. The corollary is that the people with more money make more money. Thus the people who already have 36 PLEX on the market are doing more to raise the price of PLEX than the people scraping together 700M ISK a month to play the game for "free".
If you're not keen on the idea of setting yourself the goal of raising that ISK each month, you have two options: one is to pay your account subscription using real money, the other is to buy a boat load of PLEX and join the trading club. Well, there's always "quit the game" but that doesn't help anyone.

Who do you think is buying the PLEX you flip?
Edit: That's not a snipe on you. Some people have the brains and patience to work out an investment plan within EVE, and can make mad isk from it.
Most do not, and those are the people who spend their game time grinding enough isk to buy your PLEX. The fact that they are generally so lazy that they can't be bothered to change their market venue for the lowest price speaks volumes. Their laziness is what allows you to move PLEX about and make any profit at all. Rifterlings pirate corporation is now recruitng members for lowsec PvP operations.

Incorrect.
It will stall somewhere around the maximum theoretical monthly isk income of the typical missioning player that uses PLEX to keep their account going. It hasn't hit this yet, so it hasn't equalized.

Economics will definitely start to work at 750. Maybe.
When the value of a PLEX goes up, the number you need to sell to meet your monthly 2B PvP budget goes down. As PLEX value goes up, I expect to see the number of PLEX sold per original purchaser go down. Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players |

I disagree. IMHO the market value of PLEX will keep spiralling upwards due to speculators.
The play-to-pay folks will start quitting, paying a 12 month subscription and filling in months with PLEX where they can, or get smarter about making ISK. Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players |

Yeah I have stocked up a lot of PLEX I only play EVE sporadically now. Plex will break 1bn by the end of this year easily, as the game dies and becomes more of a PVE focused WOW grind fest plex will only climb higher.
The end game of EVE is not going to be who holds the most SOV, the winner will be decided by which individual char has the most PLEX and this will only drive the price through the roof towards the end. |

So it's who runs the most C6 with a very active team, or who runs the most FW missions right? Because everything else is laughably low isk by comparison. |

When it comes to isk farming, nothing, I literally mean nothing beats or even comes close to Cap escalations. FYI, when 5% of the Eve players generate +20% of the new isk in game; you're in the wrong line of work.  |

Somer can buy those ships right off the market you idiot, of course he has an unquenchable flow of basic, widely available commodities |

All I hear is a bunch of people crying. Seriously 750mil per plex is nothing. If you can afford to spend at least 20-30 minutes a day in a months time then go get a job and pay for your sub normally. |

Victor Andall wrote:CCP is not responsible for PLEX prices on the market.
What? Yes, yes it is, just not directly. CCP manipulates the price of PLEX down with plex offers (increasing supply), and up with super new ways to use plex like dual-char training (increasing demand). The Eve market is more of a free market than any market on earth AFAIK, but this "it's a completely player-driven market" myth that get espoused is exactly that, a myth, and PLEX is one of the more obvious examples.
The price of plex hits CCP's real-world bottom line, of course they monitor and massage the prices. Higher PLEX, more attractive for CCP's bottom line in the short-term but... I'm no economist, but surely this leads to inflation -- CCP let players print ISK which can only devalue the currency if unchecked, no?
The real question is what is happening with inflation? What is an ISK actually worth now? Are levels of inflation making things very tough for new players to get a toe-hold financially? All this talk of meaningful PI profits, incursions and nullibearing are not available to a lot of players -- probably not to the majority of players. |

Before, CCP tried to stabilize the price of PLEX but releasing massive stockpiles from banned accounts.
Now they obviously decided to stop doing that.
So here is what happens : Prices go up. Because CCP didn't intervene for once. So stop whining because CCP did what they were supposed to do: let the sandbox run. Signature Tanking - Best Tanking.

CCP controls every parameter of this sandbox, it's silly to pretend they don't control the result.
It's equally stupid to assume that CCP manipulating PLEX prices requires any intervention in the PLEX market itself - If CCP decided to make npcs target heavy drones tomorrow then PLEX prices would drop. |

Went looking for more information/theory/speculation related to the increase of PLEX prices, and instead found another reason why I hate posting on the forums (yet here I am, but certainly not as an OP). The EVE community is downright brutal and I except nothing less than unsympathetic ears and throat slitting, backed up by the attitude of "Why should we care?" This is why I'm getting more into another Sci-Fi game (with less a community as roughly described above) at the moment and spending less time in EVE. Not a soul will miss me, and frankly, I really don't care.
I'm equally as concerned as the OP and a handful of others here as to what this means for the future. Yep, it's a squeeze and I've felt it to, having taken the hit and canceled all my second character trainings. As a more casual player not accustomed to the practices others are claiming is making them billions in a couple of days, the increasing price of PLEX doesn't bode well for players like me who play this game casually without access (yet) to an incursion group or whatever else is making the big money (and you can take your math figures and shove them up your...).
To the OP, I commend your bravery making this post in the first place. As for me, having spend 10 years in this game between my accounts and feeling that CCP has consistently not delivered on the promise of their visions throughout the years (add a couple new ships, some modules, rebalance a few other ships, make a change to this here, and let's call that an expansion!) is effectively spelling the end for me soon. But this is a matter for another topic and thread, so... I feel your pain, best of luck, and let's hope we eventually see things level out to a more manageable level soon (more PLEX sales would really help I think, and it's not like it hurts CCP's wallet at all!)

I think higher PLEX prices will be better for the game. If anything, newbies who start with just one account wouldn't be at such a huge disadvantage against people with 5-10 accounts. If running 3+ accounts become unsustainable, then the playing field would be about even. |

Your negativity and delusions of failure are based on pure speculation and fear as you cited no credible facts to substantiate your claims. Where is the basis for your predictions?
I really doubt people will play this game purely for PVE. End game dies my arse. Have you considered the source of the PLEX market???
You might be right or wrong, but you need to provide more basis for your argument. Right now its a Straw Hut on Fig leaf in the middle of Tsunami.

Higher plex prices will not accomplish this. As long as you can fund one account on plex doing things that don't require much attention or active effort from the person behind the keyboard (mining or null ratting with afk ishtars) you can fund any number of accounts by doing the same thing on all of them. Multiple character training makes this even cheaper and more convenient. |

it's really simple... PLEX will reach a point where people won't purchase it and that's where the prices will stop. People will have loads of plex on storage or will purchase new plex to get ISK for and will sell lower to get those isks.
Supply and Demand, remember that the new Barbie dress up minigame for coloring spaceship was added recently and people purchase plexes to paint their ships and produce higher quality of tears when they'll lose them.

Of course CCP is already looking for the prices of PLEX. And for the rest of the market.
And of course its in CCPs interest to keep the PLEX prices high, forcing ppl to buy them with real money. CCP has professionals looking over the markets.
coloring the own spaceships and let ppl pay for that is a smart move. |
