I hate to break it to you but the price of Plex fits easily into the most simple of economic rules. CCP is a business and He who has the gold makes the rules. In this case Gold is real world money and so people without the gold will work until the opportunity cost is too great and that is the max price for plex in isk for that period of time. If CCP interfere, they will be costing there contry RL cash as the higher the amount of ISK per Plex, the more desirable they are. ---

> [@Ramona\_McCandless](#): > > Can you provide an example item? I canā€™t so Iā€™ll happily walk away from the discussion. Itā€™s not something I really want to spend the time researching to prove one way or the other. Maybe itā€™s something I have a personal bias against because I hate the way the lines are blurred between gaming and real life. Yes I have bought Plex because itā€™s a more efficient use of my time but I also hate that it has to be a consideration. ---

With plex prices as they are people are just not going to be activating alt accounts. Itā€™s becoming too expensive. I have the isk but refuse to pay that price for multiple accounts. ---

I agree that PLEX prices are appealing due to the ā€œSummer Holeā€. Less pilots play. ---

> [@Natural\_CloneKiller](#): > > Price of Plex - Market intervention Required from CCP Yes I agree completely. They need to be at least 6 million per unit of plex. That is real world money that is being exchanged for in game currency. ---

Yes but less people spending real money. CCP need more people buying plex to naturally lower the in game amount, like is happening with the current discounts to plex. ---

No the lower the price of plex the lower the percentage of people who buy plex. ---

Look at financial statements from ccp over the last 15 years. When there were more people, more plex was sold and map the times were plex was at its lowest and then you will seeā€¦more peopleā€¦more plex sales for ccp. ---
