It it just me or have plexes been jumping several million each day? A month or so ago they were about 750mil. Will there be a cap limit on how high they can go before they get to be stupidly expensive where only players with ample time to produce the isk for them can buy them? |

I've bought them as high as 850mil before, and when I started almost 2 years ago now they were 540mil. The ceiling is whatever the economy will accept. |

The PLEX sales seem to be CCPs way of countering the inflation, to a limited extent. CCP would have to perform market manipulation if they want to control the upper limit.
Keep in mind, most people can work in RL for 3-4 hours if they want a plex - where it takes 4-16 hours in game |

Too bad most of the economy would eat a plate of crap if someone told them it tastes like chicken. Seems to be the major problem of the world today people lack common sense. |

No where near as bad as the chinese server from what I understand.
But, PLEX prices like everything else in the game in depended on the players. At the end of the day prices will go up as long as the supply/demand allows it to (and players decide to buy the PLEX instead of spend $15, or regional equivalent)
Once the prices reach a certain point you will see people with stockpiles of them start selling to make a high profit and the price will start to go down.
Or you can spend $15 (or regional equivalent) and not have to worry about making the ISK and can use it to buy a new shiny ship every month. Hell, a few month of that could get you set up with the ways to make the income needed to buy PLEX at the new prices. |

PLEX prices have already been at >1B in November 2014. We are still way below hat.
As everything in the game, PLEX prices are determined by the players. So maybe PLEx are getting to expensive for *you*, but that doesn't mean they do for the majority of players who use PLEX.
On the other hand, if you have a decent job and want to fund your pew-pew without having to grind ISk, you can do more pew-pew per PLEX when prices go up. So what is bad for one player is good for the other.
So yeah, as long as enough players are willing to pay such prices for PLEX, the prices will stay that way or rise. |

The didn't reach 1b in November. They didn't even break 900 as a stable price, they spiked because of some manipulation at the time.
CCP will intervene only to stop incredibly rapid rises and falls, not to cap the price. There's no such thing as PLEX price being "too high". Too high for you (like Stacy said above), maybe, but not too high in general. The solution is to not buy them if they are too high for you.
Oh, and as a general rule, PLEX prices rise. Get used to it

Either way if you look at the average prices you'll see it suddenly spiked prior to the multiplexing announcement to over 900m, then dropped back down as speculation hit following the thread. It was an artificial spike rather than the price actually being that high naturally.

Check around the end of the month. There were a lot of threads at the time too. This one for example:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=386617
I don't have any particular comment on the cause. Just that PLEX definitely hit the billion mark and I hope it does again.

You do realize that they've made absolutely NO changes to PLEXes at all?
Thus the price increase is not caused by plexes themselves, and is actually more of an indication of ISK being a bit more worthless than in the past (cause everyone has billions). "Fixing" it would involve getting rid of quite a bit of ISK, by creating a huge ISK sink somewhere. Like, a tax that would affect everyone. That would affect YOU. |

When your buying itll never be low enough, when your selling itll never be high enough.
and yeah I remember the 90 day GTCs were INSANELY high at 450mil threads.

Not really accurate. They haven't made a change to the PLEX themselves (still same price afaik, still 30days game time) but they have made some pretty big changes on HOW the PLEX is used recently. With the addition of the new ship SKINS more people are using PLEX to get AUR, and they are buying those PLEX with ISK, thus driving the price up.
At the end of the day unless the constantly bring out new SKINS that a whole lot of people want, or more and more people get into buying SKINS the price of PLEX will start to drop off soon after the interest in turning them into AUR to get SKINS does. |

I like how they're "getting too high", not too long after what was probably the biggest Plex price crash in the history of the game.

I translate this is "someone do something about PLEX, else the 1% yada yada cry cry".
At current prices a plex is 28 mil per day. There are lvl 4 missions and null anomalies that pay 28 mil in total rewards (and at the standard lp exchange rate, a single High Sec Incursion site pays 38.5 mil). ONE mission or anomaly a day pays for a plex, or you could join an incursion fleet, and do ONE hq site a day for 22 days and make a plex.
In other words, PLEX are ridiculously inexpensive in terms of time per day a player needs to devote to getting one. The people who complain about them are ones who are reckless with their isk and only think about plex when it's time to resub, which is a personal failing.
Stop complaining.
