I have a suggestion:
CCP may prohibit plex from trading in private contracts between private individuals. Thus, PLEX is forced to circulate in the market such as JITA.
This may have the following benefits:
What do you think of this proposal?
What are you even trying to solve with your new never-possible-to-check-this-strange-rule rule?
PLEX price is high, that’s because the PLEX price is high.
You’re not going to get a better ‘true price’ by prohibiting people to trade PLEX one on one to a friend, which not only hinders a lot of people but also is not enforceable unless CCP spends many man-hours monitoring players that I would rather have them spend checking more important issues like bots and RMT.
Why would you trade PLEX via contract? That only leaves annoying traces. Just trade them in space to a char on the target account and it’s done.
Why do you propose it? What is the problem with the current PLEX trade system? And please explain like I’m a 10yo, I’m kind of slow. Thanks.
In 2010 plexing an account costed 800m, now in 2024 it’s upwards of 3b
@RGC_Godfather
Clearly somebody didn’t want players to grind and PLEX for their subscription.
In fact, PLEX deals mainly through private contracts.
I believe that this no-cost approach to trading has fueled speculation in PLEX, leading a significant number of people to view PLEX as a financial asset that will increase in value.
Players spend a lot of isk on the plex market rather than the product market. I think this kind of behavior is out of reality, and it is malformed to EVE’s economic system.
In other words, 800m ISK in 2010 is worth 3b ISK now.
Looks like there’s a case of heavy ISK inflation.
You mean the same Contracts we use to exchange ships/modules with other players?
I sell my PLEX through the Services window. I do notice that other Capsuleers buy it but there is no private contract involved.
Why would Capsuleers exchange PLEX through contracts? What is the purpose of it?
Are you saying that is the reason why PLEX prices are so high?
I too view PLEX as financial asset, at least until PLEX prices settle.
Is there anything to base that on? Since PLEX is so high in price I find it normal that players spend a lot in Isk for PLEX.
Economics, in-game or otherwise, is beyond my comprehension. Some Capsuleers think that EVE’s economy is whacked, maybe you do too, but EVE is a game and I am sure that CCP can course-correct the economy with subtle nudges.
My post may seem naive to you or flat out bs but again, I am not so smart to discuss those things, although I am interested by them.
I don’t see the need/point of this.
250 million for 1 pex(1month sub) …it was not 800 to a billion until 2013 you dufus!
Because it benefits him.
Its been a long time 
I was off by a year or two lol
I can understand him proposing something that benefits him but it also has to benefit the majority of players and be a good thing to the PLEX market or it’s a no go.
I don’t understand much about what he’s proposing and a couple of replies have already debunked a couple of his assertions, plus he hasn’t really gone into much detail so I guess we’ll see.
I invest most of my portfolio in three companies: Raytheon, CCP, and Lockheed. The market goes up and down but I never divest, I cycle all profits back into more stocks.
CCP is a private company and doesn’t have public stocks or shares from my understanding
PLEX is s share, isn’t it?
Do you really think that someone who is so short sighted that all he can think about is “this will benefit me personally” actually has well reasoned and thought out ideas & proposals 
Well no but the two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive 
Although he made no effort to clarify his reasons for his suggestion so I would tend to lean toward your explanation rather than any nebulous reason of his.
And in the mid 2000’s it cost 100mil, what is your point exactly?
Inflation exists and supply vs demand is what drives the prices up
