Surprised? Nope. Not at all.
Player run economy. Though CCP could do some slight manipulation as they have in the past by doing a legit sale instead of the cash grab scam they're offering right now.

All the crying?
One thread and with five responses before you post your scathing indictment of the EVE player base. Out of how many hundreds of thousands of players?
Don't be such a drama queen.

I have four Omegas that I'm going to let lapse in the next few weeks with training queues between 20 days and nearly a year. But I'll check in at the end of Aug and see what PLEX has stabilized at. I'll keep my two builders in Omega but I rarely log them in as they're primarily building capitals and only need to looked at once or twice a month.
So yeah. No "EVE Is Dying", but for me anyway, EVE is taking a back burner for a while.

PLEX for most is a goal; to play for free. Yes, I stopped reading there. Paying with PLEX is not playing for free, especially if you have to grind. Back up stream there is a guy who is going to trade an entire Saturday so he can buy enough PLEX for 2 months. Now maybe that is his idea of a good Saturday, but chances are he makes enough in 1 hour of work to pay for both months if he used a subscription at the yearly level. That way he'd have those 2 months paid for AND he could have his Saturday back to do some other stuff too. The only way to play the game for free is to go ALPHA. Other than that you are paying. Either in cash or via your time. I certainly agree that paying with PLEX is not playing for free.
But I'm of two minds about comparing paying with grinding in real life or paying with grinding in game. It really depends on how much you enjoy whatever it is you do to collect that ISK. For instance, I'd rather run missions or whatever for a day than pull an extra shift shoveling **** at the zoo.
On the other hand, I'd rather work a few hours overtime giving erotic massages than sitting in an ice belt spamming d-scan for two solid days.
I guess what I'm saying is it's not such a good comparison when it's so situational. You can't really generalize.

When did CCP say this?
Way before the Alpha/Omega release.
You'll likely need to wait for the next fanfest to get legitimate statistics for this year. And then you get to watch the forum explode as various personalities try to spin it to suit their agenda.

Probably going to hit their account numbers if they don't do something to stabilize PLEX prices.
People who use plex for game time tend to over estimate how many people do the same. The last time CCP told us about it, it was less than 10%. Same for multiboxers, most people don't have multiple accounts so people shedding alt accounts wouldn't hurt much. PLEX changes/price rises are in this way just like ISBoxer, many a isbox multiboxer predicted that EVE's pcu and sub numbers would take a hit if they banned isboxer, but that never happened, because despite the visibility of those guys (like the guy who could solo incursions), they were really only a very small part of the population. I heard lots of the alts were repurposed into injector farms. You heard correctly.
It's a lot more efficient, with some exceptions, to make extractor monkeys than developing characters for sale.
What I see happening is that eventually the number of players with characters SP injected to where they want will max out. This will make all the extractor monkeys pointless and not needed. So active accts will drop significantly and CCP will have to come up with a legit scheme to attract new players. Not the false active acct narrative they are currently trying to sell to those that can't look beyond the now.

You'd think so, right? That's how it works in the real world after all. Yet not in this game.
Since introduction PLEX has only risen, with minor blips downward. Very minor. When it comes to PLEX, supply vs demand doesn't work. Probably because ISK is fabricated from nothing in massive amounts and is removed at such a small rate as to be negligible.
Ever see what happens in the real world when a country just starts printing money to try and dig themselves out of a hole? Massive failure every time. A lesson CCP has not yet learned.

But ask yourself this. Why would PLEX manipulation by the EVE one percenters not happen when these same people manipulate every other commodity in the game? Or do you also not subscribe to the the theory that market manipulation is as common as PVP within a certain demographic of the player base?
I might even go so far as to say market manipulation is PVP in its purist form. Sitting on a gate shooting at haulers gets you a killmail. Sitting in Jita 4/4 lording over the Trit trade makes you king of The Forge.

Ask your overlords to tell you about cornering the market on Technetium back when they were relevant. They can tell you about it in excruciating detail.
