Most that live in Null don’t pvp either. That shouldn’t stop anyone.

What a load of bollocks. I have plexed my main account since 2014 and a few others. For the past two months I have not been able to earn enough isk to plex one. WTG CCP.

They didn’t stop at the moons in hisec… all moons were nerfed. No more of the high value ore in them.

I have one account, one email address I check daily because I literaly only have that one email address, in over 6 years of playing the game almost every day I have not recieved a single player survey, is this another CCP Ghost situation where you only ask a tiny handfull of eve null sec whales how everyone feels about the game?

Please note that “don’t pvp” and “don’t engage every piece of chicken with escape filaments in their cargohold” is very different, and its the latter who’s closer to “don’t pvp” than the one who choose unrestricted pvp zone as his living space.

You are saying that by constantly moving to safes and avoiding combat probes you establish “risk free” status. Yes, I agree. Same as it ever was.

The thing I use needlejacks to escape from is Wormhole Space. If somehow you lose your probes or lost your fleet in a wormhole just jack yourself out to null space and gate yourself home. No one seems to be complaining about this, because GOOD!

CCP Convict:
“Unfortunately we won’t be able to continue providing these on an ongoing basis since it’s quite a lengthy process to get this prepared for public consumption.”

Where are all the quick-witted forum dwellers leaping on this gem of irony? Would never have been missed in the good old days on the old forums…

hint-
CCP admits: “the economy is going so great now and everyone’s so happy watching their plex bought with real cash evaporate via taxes that we sadly can’t afford to pay someone to spout propaganda about the economy anymore”.

You gotta adapt in EVE.

Mining used to be the way. Now it is ratting.

Didn’t really think that needed pointing out. In case you missed it? Water: still wet.

Spending it on what?

Ships and stuff

I would think this information would still be useful though, even if you can’t use it to determine the actual volume of PLEX that’s consumed the values should be significant and indicative of whether demand is going up or down. If someone is selling to their alt to mess with economic indicators then they’re unlikely to do that more just because a few less people are buying PLEX. Looking at the available quantity data the low point in PLEX volume was actually fall of last year when prices stalled, but now volume is up while prices have dropped. Volume isn’t as high as it was when the price peaked, but that’s also kinda expected. Especially given real life circumstances that should be pushing PLEX purchasing down.

You can actually see the price of PLEX go up over the history of the game as ISK has become more available through various new methods of earning ISK being introduced or old ones being buffed. Back when 40m an hour was good money 1 month of account time was a couple hundred million.

Also presently PLEX volume traded is up compared to a year ago, but prices are down. This doesn’t support your conclusion.

This isn’t correct, since this just transfers ISK between players, it won’t increase the ISK in player wallets. In fact the market transaction tax removes a small amount of ISK from the economy.

This is almost certainly part of the internal report, but detailed information on PLEX sales qualifies as “sensitive internal data” for a number of reasons, so we’re basically never going to see it.

If you call living in a toilet with standup fleets a moment away “unrestricted pvp” lol

I for one did adapt…right the hell out of the game.
