I highly doubt they will get to 1bil ISK. With the Ghost Training nerf coming in a lot of people will find it hard to justify 1B ISK on a toon that doesn't generate any ISK. I actually predict a drop in Sales over this nerf. CCP thinking they will get more is a blind to the "NEED" of people.
In all honesty you don't need 4,5, even 6 accounts to play this game effectively. Here is what I predict.
A rather large increase for a short term of GTC sales then a massive drop off. However CCP will also see a rather large spike in "Character Transfers" where toons that have been collecting skills will be consolidated into one account.
Things like current offer of 6 months of game play for one low price will become popular as it's the cheapest offer on the table then that character gets xfered to a paying account to use.
Yeah at the moment you'll see a high demand, but I'll bet you in 60-80 days time the price will rocket down as most people sever their excess accounts.
It's funny in a way CCP sealed it own fate by removing 30day GTCs. The increase in single 60 day skill changing allowed most people to get up to BattleShip 4 with many other bells and whistles then just 30 days. Allowing people to come out of a 40 day skill considerably more skilled then before. So more people did exactly that. Trained up for 60 days then had 40-50 days of Ghost training.
Then they have buy another 60 days allowing them to get a lot of other pre-req skills for capital ships before needing to train for another 50-70 days.
Funny how they reacted, instead of smaller more repetitive cash infusions every 60-80 days, they get a slightly larger less repetitive 90-120days.
It's their own fault, and they'll notice even less as GTC sales start bombing out because of it. But hey just like everyone else, CCP will get a instant gratification of a sizable amount of $25 per pop Character Transfer fees instead of $20 infusions every 60 days.. (30 days training on GTC + 30 day long skill training)
Instant gratification has proven over and over again to be the death of many things, this is just another example of it.
