This is insane. not only is CCP making less money due to people not buying very many GTCs, it is also removing options for players who only want to buy in short increments, not spend $40 to get some extra ISK, and make it increasing hard (and expensive) to buy GTCs for those of us that rely on them.
Somebody should create one of those online petitions...

You have to remember that under the new pricing structure CCP can afford to run off 33% of the GTC market with no effect on the bottom line. Unless the macro-miners are signficantly less than 2/3 of the folks that use GTC don't expect any changes to the new system. Best you can hope for is that the market will stabilize out at about the 9-10M isk to 1 USD rate like it was under the old system. If 90 day = $40 = 400M isk then you could logically expect 60 day = $35 = 350M isk assuming all other factors remain unchanged. I suspect there have indeed been changes in other variables but it would be foolish to make any sweeping conclusions this soon after a major shake-up.
You can't just magically keep the price high forever, the market forces will take over. If the ISK cost goes up more people will sell and it will settle out at a higher level. If the demand is low competition will drive the sell price lower until demand increases (or sellers leave the market) and it will have a new lower equilibrium level. There is no way to corner the market because all of us are free to sell GTC for isk if we choose, and the codes cannot be hoarded and resold. Rest assured that any artificial changes will be short-lived. If it is still 450 for 60 in 2 months, you better get used to it.
If you can somehow increase the demand for isk (the force behind GTC supply) then the GTC asking price should swing down. Go kill some titans or something.

Well I think that CCP just CAN'T handle more players than 40,000, due to computer power/network luck. So she would like to have 33% of the players to leave (as she has risen 33% the playing time per month) and therefore she can have the same income with less lag and quality gaming for the rest, until she will decide to upgrade her systems :P.

Has already been said in this thread, its most likely isk farmers and macro miners who are keeping these game cards over-inflated. Have a look at some of the names that bulk-buy them and subsequently keep the demand high.
I would love to know how many of these accounts are in this game, I bet its a significant % of the playerbase.

New Game Time Code Rules
Any other forms of GTC trades are no longer allowed or supported by CCP.
An option for the safe and secure exchange of EVE Game Time Codes for EVE Online ISK has been added to the account management page. Through the use of this system, EVE players will be able to purchase Game Time Codes without the fear of receiving an invalid code, or offer a Game Time Code for sale with the assurance that payment will be received.
What you do is log into your account management page, https://secure.eve-online.com/login.aspx.
From there you go:
My Account >> Account Services >> Securely Sell EVE Time Code
The procedure there is straightforward,
You select the character selling the code.
You type in the name of the character you are selling the code to.
You type in your price for the timecode.
The system will automatically verify the validity of the code, then send the buyer an EVEmail with the offer. The offer is valid for 48 hours. The buyer must log into the account management page and accept the offer.
The gametime will be automatically added to the buyers account and the payment will be automatically deposited to the sellers wallet.
Not only will this new option improve Game Time Code transaction security, it will also severely decrease the number of petitions submitted for GTC scams, thus allowing the GM team to focus their efforts elsewhere and continue to improve the EVE gaming experience.
Please Note: You must purchase an EVE Game Time Code through one of the normal outlets in order to sell the Time Code.
Any other forms of GTC trades are no longer allowed or supported by CCP.

a Friendly Bump , and an observation.
Monday night local chat was flooded with links to illegal isk selling Sites. CCP should investigate this growth in a blackmarket trade in Isk that they themselves have caused....
a bit like prohibition in America... you shut down peoples options and they will resort to underhand ways of subverting the rules....
People do not like the freedome of choice to be removed.
Tax.

This whole thing would be good just for isk market.
Let se now 35$ card cost over 400m(just count with 400) so for 100m isk u get 8,75$. The isk sellers selling isk for 5-6$/100m. Why would peoples not buy 400m is for 24$, buy on this a 60 day card. they still better out of the business than to buy the card for 35$ real cash.
So Devs gived again a good reason for ISK farmrs to work.

The whole situation is very bad atm. As far as I reckon it will go like this:
Prices will keep rising The players who till now used isk to buy GTC will: a) quit or cancel accounts b) change to a different payment option
Then the demand will be lower and the GTC will start to crash..and I mean crash hard... This situation is in the long run bad for BOTH buyers and sellers.
Making 400-700 mio isk in 2 months JUST TO PAY the account is going to be too much for MOST buyers
Whats the point in working for isk just be able to pay the account to be able to work for the isk to be able........................
Sure there are some players who are so rich that they could pay 1 milliarde for 60 days - well I am not and most others neither... Greetings Belmarduk
CCP Please give us casual players a Skill-Queue !

Yes, the market would crash sooner. but the thing had a good side too. I already sold 2 of my characters and would an another 1 deactivate or a while. This teached me i can play with just 1 character too :)
BTW i hope lot of players quite and the lag would be not so bad. yesterday i had a foght 70 vs 70 and the warpout time was over 10 min. :( Premium content - premium cost : u dumbass devs should fix lag insteed

reguardless of all this other information. Taking out the other gtc's will only loose ccp money not make it. Many people who once could afford to keep several accounts will be lcosing them and the loss of money to ccp will be great. I own too many accounts to even post here and have had to close 5 so far due to this issue. So thats 5 90 day gtc's every three months I was buying for thoes accounts that ccp will no longer be getting the money for. So you do the math couple extra dollars from one account, or much more from several accounts. This will only loose ccp a lot of money in the end.

This is me, i have had 1 year advance isk saved for GTC plus a whole lot more ontop.
last year i spent 1.5 billion for the year, currently its in excess of 2.4 billion. I have gone back to paying cash, until i can get my year for 1.5 billion again maybe 1.8 if the sellers lucky, i think it is not changing, i dont really care.

Ive noticed that this forum is getting very quiet, just after the split with Charactor Bizaaar A post would stay on page 1 for 30min-1hour, now the front page covers numerous hours most of the time. Im sure sellers must have noticed the decline in business and its only a matter of time till the impending crash, all the farmers will have swaped from 30 day to 60 day subs now so the next month should show a substanstial drop.
