Jimblidge caused a price hike by himself.

Yeah, that's why there is an event starting tomorrow that will be giving away literally hundreds of free PLEX.

Maybe that's why it went up, because of all those hundreds of plex they bought to give away.
CCP generates their own plex.
Increasing the supply would not increase the price. Economics.
In all likelihood, the culprit is the refining changes combined with the influx of new players following BR-5. More demand, unchanged supply, higher prices.

It's a heavily inter-related economy, there are a number of causes.
Your conspiracy theory bullshit is not one of them.

There's no proof it's not correct. Is it though? Probably not. Does that mean, considering this is all speculation anyways, that it's less fun to speculate the cause being a CCP driven conspiracy?
Nope.
I have no proof that the polished rock on my desk *doesn't* keep away tigers.
I have no proof it does either, but I don't see any tigers.
Isn't doublethink lovely?

That you not only cannot prove your own statements to be true, but also believe that they stand up without any proof?
Yeah, that matters.

And I see you didn't read the first post, either.

So I'll wait for him to prove to me that "jimblidge" did indeed cause the price raise by himself.
You need to learn to read.
I said that he caused "a price hike by himsef", thanks to buying and losing 3000 dollars worth of plex in an 8 hour period.
I did not say he is the cause of the entire 120 million isk price increase in plex in the last two weeks. That's just something you decided to make up in your head.
Knock off your bullshit.

The nonsensical rumour-mongering you're engaging in is still against the rules.
The only people I see here breaking any forum rules are you and Kaarous: 2. Be respectful toward others at all times. 4. Personal attacks are prohibited. 5. Trolling is prohibited.
What was it you said earlier? I didn't "clarify" who I was speaking about? I didn't "define parameters" as to who I was referring to?
Something like that.
But if the shoe fits...

That, or you continue to insinuate yourself into discussions to spew your own skewed "beliefs" all over everyone involved.
Some people find that highly disrespectful of other forum posters. Some people also find that to be trolling.

Lucas Kell wrote:Nonsense, the recent drive in plex has been from people buying it up for fanfest tickets and the like. Isboxer accounts will drive a small demand, but not much. There's only a few people with large scale isboxer operations, and the rest would plex isboxer or not. Plex prices rose before isboxer you know...
A huge amount prior to fanfest was investors buying it up in preparation for the usual increase, and because plex is only likely to increase in price going forward as people will always want to get more for their money. If last week you sold a plex for 700m, you aren't likely to spend the same amount of money this week to get 600m, so you don't buy. Supply dips and the price increases back to what it was. Then as CCP add more ways to spend plex, the base prices step up and the cycle repeats keeping it at it's new level, and so plex prices will continue to rise. People with large amounts of isk are generally better keeping their isk as plex for this very reason.
This is a good point.
Myself, I tend to have much less liquid isk than I do assets. Isk never appreciates, it can only depreciate relative to the value of goods.

Vaerah Vahrokha wrote:Actually, assets may lose value as well. Many put a lot of billions into BPOs, those BPOs are tied 1:1 with the value of ISK so they are also losing in value. In general you want to differentiate your portfolio taking into account opposing trends markets. Already seeing how things would go these days, long ago I have posted one rather interesting thread about correlation (direct and inverse) in the markets. This sprung a very interesting study by a fellow trader who experimented with the concepts and put them in practice.
I am aware of this.
I didn't say that assets do not depreciate. I merely said that isk always does, and assets do so to a much lesser degree. Especially certain items, people will always need POS fuel, for example.
