Since there is a misunderstanding the player that bought the plex gets no isk or game time! They are paying to raise the cap on total isk in circulation in the entire game for everyone!
This is the solution to all EVE's economic woes: We need a finite amount of isk in the game. No new isk exits, no old isk leaves. If a ship dies the exact cost of the ship and its modules (recorded in the database as transactions) will be put back into the EVE economy. When the max amount of isk in circulation is reached, bounties missions and all isk faucets will stop and only player to player market trading will be allowed.
But wouldn't the game stagnate?
Nope! Instead of selling PLEX on the market or redeeming it for game time PLEX will be the only way of injecting new isk into the economy. Right now PLEX is used for game time or sold for isk and redeemed as game time. I want PLEX to become a donation to the EVE economy.
Every PLEX would add 1 billion isk to the max amount of isk in circulation for the entire economy. This means there can be no inflation because nobody is going to spend real money on PLEX if they can still make money.
Since players have to pay to benefit the entire economy, there will be no inflation. Inflation would be detrimental to their real world wallets.

EVE's economy is fine as it is - people are just complaining about high PLEX prices.
Incorrect. The player that bought the plex doesn't get any isk. They are paying to raise the max amount of isk available to all players. |

EVE's economy is fine as it is - people are just complaining about high PLEX prices. In reality, game-play related items have relatively low prices. Now, converting drone poop to bounties WILL cause significant amounts of inflation - but that's because we will convert a mineral faucet into an ISK faucet. Less minerals and more ISK means that minerals become more expensive, which means more expensive T1. |

hrrrrmmm... this is a strange suggestion then. I think this will suffer the tragedy of the commons - people aren't interested in donating money to the server for the good of the economy. They only want to maximize their OWN profit, not other people's profit. |

*facepalm*
where do I start with this idiocy?
I'll keep it short and sweet I think.
What your proposing would completely remove the free market principles of EvE. One of the games major features.
Plex is generally accepted as inflationary neutral due to it being a transferance of ISK. If anything it has a sink associated with its escrow charges. It's also recognised as a current product not suffereing from money velocity which explains it's high price.
Having a Plex actually add isk into the pot is by definition inlfation. Especially in quantaties of a billion at a time.
Plex is more expensive than subscription, so the sensible use of spending "real money" on plex is for ISK or other game features realiant on them. It simply isnt the most economical way to spend RL money for Game time. Bounty Hunting for CSM 7

Old ISK leaves all the time in the form of players (bittervets & others ) unsubscibing. Ocaasionally it does come back in resubs but I guess not as often as it leaves permenantely |

Nobody gets it!
You aren't getting any new isk by using the PLEX you are making it so the amount of isk that can possibly be in circulation increases. You are DONATING your money to help EVE's economy grow, not reaping any benefits. |

There are arguments to be made for fixed money supply economies, but this idea of yours is not very sound. It'll cause more problems than it will solve in an already unbalanced system. Eve should be having massive prices increases, but it is not for a number of systemic reasons caused by game mechanics. tinkering with the money supply isn't going to fix any of that, going to a fixed money supply would only make the rich in the game even more rich. |

OP imagine your system. now imagine some moon material monopoly holder not selling their product for one month straight. do you reckon that maybe due to the nature of the material, people will start shelling out more isk to get anything produced from it, resulting (by definition!) in cost-push inflation? |

That's valid economics. Why have a monopoly if you can't exploit it?
I want to reduce the hyperinflation due to isk faucets. |

i thought you claimed your system won't have any inflation but it seems when it's 'valid economics' instead lolololol.
we have no hyperinflation fyi, it's pretty much impossible to have in eve, even when unsupervised (and ultimately ccp would step in)
limited supply would probably result in some parallel currency.. minerals or faction ammo or whatever. |

I thought I remembered your name, and now I know why I didn't remember anything positive or useful in conjunction with it.

Yes you would, it's still an inflationary process.
Adding to the total pot means you extend the amount people can earn.
You think people would enjoy the experience of suddenly realising that the total pot has been reached and they cant profit to gain isk without them or soemone else suddenly being required to push the bubble further out?
How does that model compensate for player growth without enforcement of encouraging PLEX trade? Since yes increased volumes could lower prices. But means more and more plex is needed to afford growth. Where does it stop? When plex is 1 isk? How will that effect the RL trade? You think CCP would encourage people spending $15 for one isk, you don't imagine that would naturally in fact tend to reduce incentives to supply them?

Yes it will, unlike in real life where if someone dies the money goes elsewhere. In EVE if somebody unsubscribes without sending their ISK to someone else (which is usually the case) billions of ISK have been destroyed for good.
Plus your idea pretty much ends the hope for any new players being able to pick up the game because their main source of income for the first week or two of the game, Tutorials, Career Agents, and the SOE arc .
Also, your a communist. A 100% tax rate to one of the most expensive frequently traded item in the game is anti- capitalistic. Please get out of my Conservative wet dream.

Oh God...it's you again. Well...if you are going to start posting again, would you mind using some proper punctuation? This makes my eyes bleed. Wouldn't hurt if you had something to say that made sense too.
Not a Troll, but constructive criticism. Thanks! EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!! |

Please listen to the morning report. Here: http://www.evemorningreport.themumm.com/?p=150
Please read the dev blog. Here: http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=9115
The increase in money supply isn't doing anything! We need more velocity to make inflation happen! Also, we've been experiencing a deflation since '07. So this inflation that's been happening in the short term is only slightly countermanded the years of deflation |
