I know, it was only 189k plex, but sometimes it’s enough to start a panic in the market and then everyone start dumping (I wonder if CCP is also dumping some too) ---

> [@Nunosh](#): > > sometimes it’s enough to start a panic in the market and then everyone start dumping Possible, to a degree. But imo PLEX magnates dont “panic”. They just wait. They are into PLEX for the long term. They are confident PLEX will retain its value + appreciate, and dont need the extra isk right now. > [@Nunosh](#): > > I wonder if CCP is also dumping some too Could be, but for this kind of swing, it wouldn’t be just “some”, it would have to be a lot. I dont think CCP would do that as this time of year, or under the circumstances immediately preceding this drop. ---

The packs reduce plex pressure in several ways, 1. The game time 3 months is included in the big pack. Sure the people buying this probably don’t plex much but it helps some. 2. 1100 plex, the obvious part that increases plex volume. The low price probably gets people that don’t often buy plex to buy. 3. MPTC this is very useful for skill farming, usually costs 485 plex, throwing 2 of these in each package has massively increased the volume available in game, and also the price. These were also recently on sale in the NES meaning there were already a bunch of cheap ones on the market. Can also be used to train alts. 4. the extractors, normally these get bought with plex, but by throwing a few in the bundle it should drive their price down too, plus these were also just on sale you can see the low point on the price history graph. At normal prices it takes 2865 plex/month to run a full account SP farm 500 to plex the account, 485x2 for the 2 MPTC, and 1395 to buy the extractors with this sale it’s 500 to activate the account, ~2bil to buy the MPTC on the market, and something less than 1395 plex to buy the extractors at current jita buy prices an SP farm account is worth ~1.7 bil/month. And each SP farm requires ~1000 less plex/month. ---

As someone who will probably never afford PLEX using ISK, I have no problem cheering on the rising price of PLEX in-game. I have way more IRL money than time, so climb away, PLEX, and help my $$$ go farther in-game 😈 I suppose I could also argue that CCP benefits more from high in-game price of PLEX since this can encourage more people to buy PLEX for selling in-game. If the ISK price for PLEX magically doubled, I would probably start throwing money at CCP lol (in-game inflation due to surge of ISK notwithstanding, of course). ---

Alliance Tournament PLEX prizes. Non-stop Galaxy Pack sales. A few just ended and a new one starts: [https://www.humblebundle.com/store/eve-online-galaxy-pack](https://www.humblebundle.com/store/eve-online-galaxy-pack) CCP giving out reimbursement in PLEX for the levitating Nyx. > **[EVE Online - Reimbursement Information for Pilots Who Pre-Ordered the Levitating...](https://www.eveonline.com/article/p696q4/reimbursement-information-for-pilots-who-pre-ordered-the-levitating-nyx)** > > Take a look at this news item for a little more information on the cancellation of the levitating Nyx project and how you can submit a reimbursement for PLEX. Looks like PLEX prices are going to be low for a while. Sell price is still slightly below 3 mil in Jita. \o/ Back when this thread was active, and everyone thought PLEX prices were going to go through the roof, I was pretty proud that I managed to put all my ISK into 30,000 PLEX at 3 mil each. Now…I am not so proud. 😃 Oh well, at least I’m playing for free for 5 years. 😛 ---

doubt that even creates a blip on the plex market, how many people actually preorded that? Also it’s not going to happen for a while these 50% off galaxy packs though, that will keep prices down. ---

wait for the sales to end, and/or buy the dip. > [@Salvos\_Rhoska](#): > > PLEX does not introduce isk. indeed it doesn’t but that reply didn’t suggest it does either, for plex prices to double there would have to be some pretty serious inflation, which could very well still happen with all the isk faucets out there. ---

LOL 3 months later and PLEX is still at 2.912 mil Jita sell price. \o/ This is also usually around the time when we see a dip in player count (Summer) and a spike in PLEX prices. Yet that is not happening. \o/ I bought the dips and waited for PLEX price to go back up to 3.2-3.4 mil but the market remained irrational longer than I can remain solvent. :3 [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/plex-is-very-expensive-right-now-thread/4547.md?page=87) [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/plex-is-very-expensive-right-now-thread/4547.md?page=89)
