I sadi it in multiple posts like this multiple timesā¦CCP HAS TO CUT THE ACTUAL PRICE AT HALF AND SET THIS AS THE MAXIMUM PRICE.
Problem solved
Do this for the whole marketā¦even betterā¦
(Market)Control is the keyword herā¦
But some donkeys here think that would be socialism instead of market controlā¦
No, every once in a while a fish jumps out of the Fodder River and posts, then they Flop Around on the Bank for awhile.

Capitalism and socialism are the two primary economic systems used to understand the world and the way economies work. Their distinctions are many, but perhaps the fundamental difference between capitalism and socialism lies in the scope of government intervention in the economy. The capitalist economic model relies on free market conditions to drive innovation and wealth creation and regulate corporate behavior; this liberalization of market forces allows for the freedom of choice, resulting in either success or failure. The socialist-based economy incorporates elements of centralized economic planning, utilized to ensure conformity and to encourage equality of opportunity and economic outcome.
I guess thatās because it is?

There IS no āfree marketāā¦
nowhereā¦
The goverment is ALWAYS involved in it may it be through tax control for big companies or through direct controlā¦
Something like a āfree,self regulating marketā is just an illusion us hardliners invented to demand an uncontrolled one for maximum profitā¦we see where this has brought the planetā¦

The issue that is causing a lot of the problem with PLEX is that it is now the games general currency and it should only do one thing, add 30 days of game time and that is it. If this was all that PLEX could do the price would drop very quickly.
The term laissez-faire likely originated in a meeting that took place around 1681 between powerful French Controller-General of Finances Jean-Baptiste Colbert and a group of French businessmen headed by M. Le Gendre. When the eager mercantilist minister asked how the French state could be of service to the merchants and help promote their commerce, Le Gendre replied simply: āLaissez-nous faireā
The Second Continental Congress came together on May 11, 1775.
Looks like āUS Hardlinersā didnāt invent the term, sorry fam

In what way does this history lesson unvalue my point?
You pretty much āunvalueā your own arguments every time you make them. People point out the simple, self-evident flaws with your simplistic āideasā and yet you jump on every thread you can to repeat them.
Hereās a tip: Repeating the same pointless, obviously broken, unworkable suggestion over and over again does not actually make it work better. It just makes you look unshakeably stupid.

This is because iāve heard no answer which would have refuted my opinion.
All that was said were just the same speech bubbles again and again the same argumet why that does not work or this is impossible all over again like programmed in their heads by a 2003 dev.
We have 2019 and their programming is way outdated,about time for an update 
Repeating my arguments is my tactic,i hope at least something will stay in their heads,but i fear it will not

What you actually mean is āI have ignored, been blind to, and otherwise refused to believe anything which points out the stupidity of my suggestionā.
People buy Plex for several reasons. To purchase something from the NES shop - which means your simplistic notion, based on nothing but your own preference, would in fact devalue and cut the income CCP receives from anything they sell except subs. Or, to trade for ISK in the game - which means they are only willing to buy Plex when the ISK/Plex return is attractive to them. Make Plex worth very little ISK and no one will buy it, they will simply turn to the RMT market which is bad for players, bad for CCP, good for bots and account hackers.
The anti-economics of price fixing has been well known and documented since before you were born:
The Economics of Price Fixing
You can believe anything you want to simply by ignoring all logic and factsā¦ that doesnāt mean your point hasnāt been ārefutedā. It only means you are willfully blind and/or trolling.

If people would actually argue their opinion, then reading through these threads would be interesting, instead of just slapping in their opinions as facts with no further explanation.
Thank you in advance.
Also, this should just be merged into Price of Plex - Market intervention Required from CCP.
Damn, I would be such a great mod.

I can respect that. 
The reality is that if you set the price of PLEX to 1 billion pr 500 plex and capped it thereā¦ I donāt think thereād be much of a supply of plex for anyone who wanted to use it for anything.
The reason the price is going up is that thereās more demand for PLEX than there are people willing to buy it for real money to sell for income in game. Thatās at over 2 billion per 500 plex. Lowering and capping the price will decrease the number of people willing to spend 20 bucks on itā¦ and while those who get plex will get it at the lower priceā¦ there wonāt be much plex to get.
Now if youāre talking about lowering the real life cost of plex rather than the isk costā¦ that will supercharge supply. It would also require a decrease in the subscription cost (otherwise everyone will use plex for their accounts) and seriously impact CCPās actual business.

Isnāt eve a capitalist economy?

Yes to the purely in-game pieces. PLEX and items that can only be initially bought with PLEX are odd animals because theyāre combination of in-game and out of game markets.
I suppose itās still capitalist in a wayā¦ but the reality is there is only a single initial supplier of PLEX possible (CCP). Thatās not particularly capitalistic in terms of plexā¦ but it is if you consider it under the same umbrella as all other games selling in game currencies for out of game currencies.
What that actually indicates though is that the point of control for CCP is the real world price of PLEXā¦ not the price of plex after it enters the game. Some of the people commenting about the in-game price donāt seem to understand that CCP isnāt selling plex in-game for iskā¦ theyāre selling it out of game for real world currencies.
