I'm looking at Jita as I type and 1.329B is the cheapest right now...
Are people buying at that price? This question is unconnected with me just having banked my tax refund.

At Markee Dragon prices, 1.35B for a PLEX comes in at under -ú7 for a billion ISK. That's a pretty persuasive price point.

Source? ISK prices drop as plex prices rise; because ISK is worth less on the black market. When isk is worth less on the black market; RMT opperations go to other games with their farms; which are more profitable. if RMT operations leave; there are less RMT related bans - because nobody is doing it. If there are less RMT bans; there are less RMT related plex to introduce into holding. Isk becomes worth less on the black market because the value of buying plex from ccp and exchanging it for isk is more prevalent as the amount of illicit isk one could possibly gain becomes very arbitrary as buying plex from CCP offers more and more isk per unit of plex. People are encouraged to obtain isk through CCP legitimately because they get so much isk for their money.
Well I just ordered 6 PLEX
In the usual way of things this should more or less immediately drop the price by 25% at least.

My personal feeling is that CCP should lower the monthy subscription cost and the PLEX cost, because in today's gaming marketplace the product they are providing isn't worth the price they are charging for it. But that's very much my personal opinion and CCP's numbers may not agree with me or their financial situation may not be able to endure that change.
My thoughts precisely. Not least because an EVE with 1.5x players paying $10/month is substantially more resilient, attractive and entertaining than one with 1.0x players paying $15/month.
