You didn’t include the most important box.
The one you tick that says, “I don’t buy plex for cash”

There is a lot more who don’t play it and many of those due to that exact message.
Actually there is a couple of things CCP could do but won’t.
Jump fatigue is a very good reason the big blue is so safe - Removing the second timer for a fixed “wait period” between jumps would go a long way to opening up New Eden to becoming a war zone. While still not allowing groups to move instantly from one side of the universe to the other.
Capital ships, Supers, titans are in abundance all over TQ but due to the difficulty of moving them to somewhere they can be used, they sit in Keepstars gathering dust or are used for ratting to build ever larger wallets that most will never spend.
Removing “magic wands” from sov and returning iHubs and TCU’s to DPS kills, would remove the cat and mouse game of ceptors chasing huge griffin fleets around while no-one manages to get the upper hand.
FozzieSov still requires massive fleets to take and hold sov, the problem is they are risk averse fleets of ceptors and griffins who have no intention of engaging anything in combat.
Reduce the timers on Citadels so it doesn’t require weeks to kill, fix structure void bombs.
4 relatively easy things that could be done to open TQ up to much more isk destroyed. IMO better than constantly nerfing income because supposedly - Everyone has too much isk.
Although, nerfing is far easier than actually doing something to change for the better. More content keeps people logging in - Constantly nerfing gradually stops people logging in.
CCP game balance motto;
Lets nerf this and then watch it for a while before nerfing it again.
Looking for a decent solution is just too hard.

You say that like it’s a bad thing,
It’s silly to make a change then make more knee jerk changes straight away based on squeals from some instead of giving things time to shake down properly first so you can actually see what the real effect of the first change was.
Is actually the preferable way to go

If past observation is anything to go by the loudest voices are usually those with vested interests using the forums to influence CCP & game the system for their own advantage anyway
It is indeed.
But what is worse; Is when they keep nerfing the wrong things and not really addressing the issues.
If that was even CLOSE to what Devs do I would be good with it but it is far from it.
So far, we have nerfed carriers (for everyone) because 1% of 1% of players were making too much isk with them.
Then we have nerfs to Rorquals (for everyone) due to ONE alliance’s ability to mine more ore in 1 region than the rest of TQ combined.
With a well advertised “next round of nerfs” already promised…
I won’t complain if Devs actually address issues instead of nerfing everyone due to a minority…
So yeah - Watching long enough to see the previous nerfs didn’t have the desired effect is only good IF they actually address the issue instead of just nerfing everyone.
I think what you’re describing is a bubble? they always burst eventually.
But I’m not sure that’s what we have.
We won’t really have a bubble until the ISK price for PLEX exceeds the time needed to accumulate that ISK that enough players are willing to put in & we may not be there yet.
The alpha clones make the game more accessible to more low income players some of who may have nothing but time on their hands & this may have an impact.
So glad I got a job that pays above minimum wage so I can just pay my sub with real money.

You could deflate PLEX value by a good % by preventing it from being an investment tool.

that is an outright lie, i ran 200-250+ sites in the event and got a whopping total of 4 plex, they didnt give out 60000 or id be sitting on a years supply of it right now.

If there are 20,000 players on-line at all times & we assume they all ran the sites 24/7 throughout the event you’d expect around 3 PLEX to be your share of that 60,000.
Obviously not everyone would have run the event all the time.
So assuming with those figures only a quarter of on-line players were actually running sites at any one time then the hypothetical you running them 24/7 might expect to have got around 12 PLEX.
Don’t know what the actual figures for players on-line are but from my observation it appears to float between 14,000 & 24,000 or more depending on the time of day.
But even allowing for the wildly inaccurate nature of my math & all, that 60,000 figure really doesn’t seem too far fetched.
And you wouldn’t be

Estimated number of subscribers in 2016: 370,000. Includes Plexed players and paying players.
Estimated number of subscribers in 2015: 396,000. 340,000 paying players + 56,000 Plexed players.
Source (look also the comments):
Amount of nuPLEX needed every month by Plexed players to stay Omega is something like 28M. Yearly its 336M.
Pool is about buying PLEX from CCP. It was build to see the reasons why PLEX is coming into the system in the first place.
CCP dont provide such data. I see that SKINS and PvP are fairly high in pool, so that is probably why they continue to add SKINs, and PVP ships could be first to redesign, even when they dont need redesign so much.
the 1% of eve dont rat to earn their isk the get it from market trading lmao why would someone with trillions of isk bother earning a pathetic 260m tisk? answer is they wouldnt they would do something else that earns them near to 1b a “tick”
Right but that isk isn’t injected into the market. It is merely changing hands. The issue is massive amounts of NPC bounties.
So let me reiterate so all of you can understand. THE ISSUE IS NPC BOUNTIES. They inject massive amounts of isk into the market which devalues isk and inflates the price of literally everything.
