So it's proven you don't know what you can't know

I'd have thought with you playing EvE for so many years that you'd have learned the price history chart doesn't cover those things.

It's an informed opinion, however.

Did you know that the Price History charts only show what happens through the EvE market? It does not take contracts into consideration. It does not take player to player trades into consideration.

Nope. That's just you stating a baseless opinion which is, once again, 100% disproven by reality.

So then you claim to know that which you cannot.

What percentage of total PLEX traded would you accept as a realistic value for these "private" trades between player entities?

Anything in the mean time is pure speculation

Nope. That's just you inventing a strawman because reality contradicts your uninformed assumptions and you have nowhere else to go.

The fact remains: we have the data; we have the dev statements; we have a solid theory on consumer behaviour.
You are trying to contradict all of this with an unproven hypothesis that relies on complete irrationality on everyone's part, which you haven't been able to explain.

You have proven absolutely nothing, and instead lied about it, as you always do.

What I feel would be a percentage to determine a realistic value is inconsequential because ultimately, who am I? CCP could answer all of the questions with their facts, being the deciding factor on what is and what isn't. Anything in the mean time is pure speculation, because we are not given the tools necessary to know for a fact what the truth is.

O.K. so how exactly are you coming to your conclusions without data or even extrapolated data?

So you disagree to my saying you know, and you disagree to saying you don't know.

More proof to me that any communication with you is ultimately a waste of time, because

Nope. That's just you stating a baseless opinion which is, once again, 100% disproven by reality.

This is your champion?

Someone who so easily contradicts himself within 2 posts?

As Tippia mentioned, high ISK per PLEX could, if anything, reduce PLEX supply, not raise it.

Too bad there's no contradiction. You know that thing I said about reality disproving youGǪ?

Nope. That's just you stating a baseless opinion which is, once again, 100% disproven by reality.

It could also very well increase PLEX supply

Except the reality is you can't know, yet you'll deny that you don't know.

When you type "CCP" in Wingdings, you get two thumbs up.... and a white flag.

COINCIDENCE?

Explain why people would buy something they can't use.
Explain how the price would keep going up if they do.

Nope. That's just you inventing yet another strawman.

Yea, it could. I never said it could not. It could also very well increase PLEX supply by more people having bought it hoping to get in on the higher value only to find there aren't enough buyers at the present time to satisfy their attempt at making as much isk they were hoping to, deciding to hold onto it for the potential of fulfilling their initially desired amount of isk.

possibility

That's way too complicated for your typical PLEX buyer, a guy that dishes out 20 bucks because he just wants to play the darn game without the hassle of grinding PVE or setting up an ISK-making toon or speculating on PLEX futures.

Because at the moment they might believe they could potentially use it.
If the price were going up, the price would keep going up if they're being bought

And it's not me inventing a strawman if it's me quoting you. It's the evidence.
