Why has PLEX climed from 520mil to 700mil+ within the last couple of months?
Is it greed from CCP or is actually market manipulation from Goon?
Continuation of this course will cause massive subscription loses and people to quit the game.
Keep pushing your luck and watch EvE burn down to WoW levels.
You have been warned. |

The price of PLEX will keep increasing as long the players are willing to pay for it. Therefore, if the price stays at 700m ISK and above it will stay that way because players are able to trade PLEX for that price. Behind this is all about supply and demand, rather than any dark plots.
Secondly, I don't think the objective to pay your monthly time through ISK is something that everyone should aim for. If you spend the whole month farming the ISK to buy PLEX then you will basically be playing an entire month to pay the next one and so on?
Perhaps the price increase could affect the countless alt accounts that depend on the income to pay themselves through PLEX, but again, as long people are willing to pay for PLEX at a certain price, the price will keep increasing. |

How would 'greed from CCP' affect the price of plex?

Would could have caused or fueled this increase in supply and demand?

Price setting in order to deter multiboxers from using multiple accounts. But it isen't an accusation, simply a possibility. |

Why would greed cause CCP to want to deter multiboxers? More accounts = more revenue. (note, ccp make more from plex than from subscribers) Steve Ronuken for CSM 9! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4236322 http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

Why would greed cause CCP to want to deter multiboxers? More accounts = more revenue. (note, ccp make more from plex than from subscribers) technically, OP is right in theory, but not for the reason they stated. if CCP REALLY wanted to **** themselves, they make money off the people who BOUGHT the PLEX, not the people who redeem them, meaning if PLEX keeps going up in price, more people would buy PLEX, making CCP more money.
Though even if CCP did that, it would be futile since everyone would just buy plex, try and dump it on market, and downward the cost would go until it was back to "normal".
besides, didnt we see PLEX at 750mil a couple years ago? i dont see why everyone is freaking out, economies are hills, not plains. |

.
It is not possible for everyone to pay for their account with isk as plexes are bought by people that not only pay RL money to play but also RL money for isk via plex sales. If everyone wanted to play for free then no one could as there would be no PLEX to buy
Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85 |

You have been warned.
Considering that even in its greatly diminished state, WoW has at least 15 times more subscribers than EVE, that would be quite a burn "down".
Still, PLEX are rising because more and more players have gotten access to ways to make isk that are (any or all of) better paying, lower effort to do, or more easily multiboxed. And more recently, of course, are the ship skins. That said, visit http://www.eve-markets.net/detail?typeid=29668 click over to the History tab, punch in 1095 days (three years) and hit view, and marvel at how even at 700m prices are pretty much neatly consistent with the average rate of rise over the last three years.

No way will plex go below 666m isk for at least the next full year, hope you bought some before that level
Eve rule no.1: The players will make a better version of the game, then CCP initially plans.

I ignore your sarcasm and replace it with reality. Your opinion is invalidated and therefore you are dismissed, being a cornhole tool shill for other Goonbot whiney crybabies with an agenda does now validate your existence or your opinion, it would be a wonder you made it into CSM if you didn't have so many tools boosting 'votes' based on a false system of election. State something other then a short irrelavent quip and you might be taken seriously. Because God knows, Malcannot, you and your trash compatriots did nothing but run EvE and its 'new' concepts into the ground over the last year.
Plex is still rising and it is reducing subscriptions to anyone who cares or isen't too busy brown noising or getting ready to make it look like they will get elected democratically.
Say something worth not flushing down a toilet and you may be responded to in a manner more serious then your 'position' in the 'CSM' until then, go back to what you do best and cry to someone who takes your opinion seriously. |

1. You should know that making direct attacks on another forum poster is a violation of the forums posting rules.
2. You can say something along the lines of, "what Malcanis said is is sarcastic crap not worth reading", however.
3. In what way is the voting system biased, as you seem to say it is?
Yawn,-á I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really. |

You have been warned. Wat?
You're warning us that Eve may burn 'down' to WoW levels? Wat?
Also, how does the ISK price make it greed from CCP and what if any facts do you have, to substantiate the speculation of goon manipulation?

I have removed a rule breaking post and those quoting it. This thread also gets a lock.
The Rules: 3. Ranting is prohibited.
A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.
