If you kept up with changes that have been applied to the game, you would know exactly why it has gone up. Do a little research and figure it out. Not very hard at all 🙂

Multiple factors. I guess 1. Russian players who need to use PLEX for their Omega 2. PLEX price increase on the Eve Oline Store and 3. A sale for Omega in the NES (requiring PLEX)

CCPls make a structure losses breakout chart or graph, so we can review the effects of the Siege Green changes. I’d like to see the following statistic: how many medium structures are owned by the top 10 alliances, as a percentage of ALL medium structures. Over the course of months, that graph might be very interesting.

@CCP_Zelus really awesome to have such a nice visualisation of risk / reward data now.

I’ve pointed out countless times that risk / reward ballance in general and the DBS in particular are pathetic but a picture says more than a thousand words.

CCP should be ashamed of themselves asking anything more than 5 bucks for their subscription and 500 PLEX pack since anyone with a job and real life will need multiple of both to actually “play” their game annyways.

Hey, I knew that already, but I thought there is enough of super wise business analytics here that dont shy from sharing their thought.

I wonder when they will introduce those spacial points that cant be traded on game market. And if it could be exchanged for PLEX in CCP store.

The thing is, there are not super crazy reasons that business analytics need to get into on why plex prices have increased. The answer is pretty obvious.

The special points should come around Q4 2022 if they keep to their timeline.

I’m curious, is there any data on how many PLEX are in the game, how many get cashed in every month via Omega, Skins, etc. and how many get added every month? Has CCP ever shared that info? Is CCP willing to share that info in the future?

Plex should be listed as a liability of some type in CCP’s accounting.  
I’m not curious enough to go looking for quarterly reports though.

As far as I know, computers can SORT values, and can repeat it many times for different data.  
Cause it is not really funny trying to find interesting region in all of this pictures in unsorted list.

Ah, of course - make your own report, we are kind of analysts, which gives you raw data and do with it whatever you want, l\_user.

The only way they could help is to break into several smaller alliances that are NOT blue to one another.
