PLEX prices have been in a steady decline since Christmas 2017. Even though the volume, of PLEX, traded seems to have increased slightly (compared to Christmas 2017 period).
So, is this a good thing for Eve or a bad thing?
On the one hand, cheap PLEX mean more people can turn their Alpha clones to Omega. People can run multiple Omega subsricptions easily. And all the rest, like cheaper SKINs etc.
On the other hand, cheap PLEX mean those who feed their Eve addiction with PLEX, get less for their real life $$$. Would this then push them to turn to ISK sellers, who are a lot cheaper?
Cheap PLEX may mean more subscribers or it could mean more bots (still more subscribers )
More profit for CCP it means, that’s all you need to know for future prediction of ingame PLEX prices. BTW, PLEX is still more expensive than before the split.
It’s just that I can’t reconcile the volume staying the same/increasing slightly and price just taking a nose dive.
If it was any other item, fair enough… but PLEX which is a quite important item… it’s a different cup of tea
Is CCP deliberately driving the price down? Is it a few market players? I have delved in the PLEX selling, on the market, and know that one or two players buy and sell… and have big influence on the price.
PLEX is not needed anymore to play the game fo free, so I think it dropped in demand, and prices with it. Also there was a promotion with 475 PLEX needed for a month of play, so people who acumulated PLEX could use it to pay for Omega and then dont ever buy PLEX again for it, sporadically buying some small amounts for SKIN or clothes.
Plex price is linked to the success of eve online, if people believe in the game and they feel that investing is worth it plex price will rise if it keeps dropping then yea :] you can come to the conclusion yourself.
I can’t believe what I’m reading
When I started Eve ALLLLLLL those years ago (2010) 1 PLEX (Equivalent to todays 500 PLEX) was around 280 million ISK, Today for 500 its around 1.5 Bill
Too Cheap???
