But who is buying all these injectors?! Any high skill char has little use for them, the gained skills are low for high skill chars compared to the cost, so the return will be rather small.
The only use I can see for this is low skill alts. Not even new players are likely the buyers, because they will not have the ISK to buy them.
Or are some people just hoarding the injectors, to speculate in ISK? If so I fear they will burn themselves...
I do understand who all the sellers are, but I do not understand who all the buyers (and users) are! As I said only logical buyers U can come up with are low skill alts for players with A LOT of ISK. |

According to the official metric, the majority of injectors were used by characters under 50m sp. What they did was dump plex on the market to come up with their isk. Oh well.
Then why didnt the Plex price go down if a lot of people were dumping Plex? It should have gone down, instead it went a little bit up. |

Did some fast calculations here, and now I am not even sure its worth getting Injectors for lowbie alts, if you arent rolling in billions of ISK.
A good average skill point gain pr month is about 1,4 mill skill points. So 1 Injector will only result in you gaining about 10 days of training, and you have to pay about 650 mill ISK for it. Or if you calculate it in Plex; 1 Plex will only get you about 20 days of instant training.
As I said, I cannot see the worth if you arent rolling in billions of ISK... Or are these calculations wrong?.. |

I do understand who all the sellers are, but I do not understand who all the buyers (and users) are! As I said only logical buyers I can come up with are low skill alts for players with A LOT of ISK. Well I dont know if they were all bought off market but a char that had 238.5 mil sp on 2-9-2016 has 340.11 mil sp on 2-11-2016 and another char that had 249.93 mil sp on 2-10-2016 has 276.34 mil sp on 2-11-2016 according to Eveboard. So there are high skill chars that have uses for them and the isk to gain that much sp at that low return. Thats quite a few injectors used in just those 2 examples.
Well that was an astronomical amount of ISK used!! With a return of only 150 000 skill pr Injector, you have used 677 + 176 = 853 Injectors = roughly 597 BILLION ISK!!! And for those 597 BILLION ISK!!! you got roughly 2 741 days (roughly 91 months) worth of training.
597 BILLION ISK something most Eve players cannot even dream of making/hoarding. How you have been able to hoard that (pluss whatever you got left) with only max a accounts, maybe even one, is the question. Maybe mining for 10 years
Well at least that ISK is now spread more on to other players...
I for my part, am having a bit of a hard time justifying using Injectors for my lowbie alt, when they cost 650 000 000+, and just give me a return of about 10 days training pr injection (the full 500 000 skill points). So 1 Plex = 2 Injectors. I neither have the Plex or the ISK.
So in this aspect Eve has become 'Pay-To-Win', as long as the pilot is not a noob. Just buy a load of Plex with money, and trade in-game for Injectors, and voila you got skill points that will take others months or years to get.

As of now, looks like most predictions here about prices are wrong. Both Plex and Injector prices are falling... I held onto a few Plex since I also were guessing prices would rise, but they are falling, so I just sold them. |
