Do regular subscribers benefit from high PLEX prices? No.
Do subscribers with PLEX benefit from higher PLEX prices? Hell no.
Do people who buy PLEX to fund their activities benefit from higher PLEX prices? Yes, but how are they going to drive PLEX prices up?
Does CCP benefit from higher PLEX prices? Yes. They noticed more people not using subs, and a drop in income because people don't want to pay for all this feature-less "development" (lol "expansions") and they are using their own methods to force us into paying them more money. It's a cash grab, pure and simple.
Are you buying into it?
I have been suspect of game developers actively participating in EvE's economy from early on.
Do I believe that is it is officially directed?
No.
Do I think this is wrong?
No. As long as the they isk they use to manipulate the market is acquired legitimately. A non-dev trader would fill the spot if not. That is so because the price is really a representation of supply and demand.
Now if the individual was buying up plex with illegitimate isk and then trashing them, that would be a problem, but I am utterly too tired to reach for my :tinfoil: |

Honestly, anyone who pays RL money to play this game as is, is missing the EVE way "the ever popular " Don't pay for, what you can afford to Steal, or let some new player pay for"... It's only required to pay RL money when you first start this game, after that you're just doing it wrong if you do.
Or some of us have a life and play casually and value $.50 a day really really really cheap for some random entertainment. |
