> [@Shrodinger\_Eidne](#): > > the latest prices hikes sent plex/isk exchange rates to all time highs at record speeds sucking trillions of isk from casual players who buy their plex monthly just to plex their account to plex whales who are either veteran players or bought it from ccp and that plex then goes to ccp for omega subs leaving the casual players in a dire in game financial situation , which will lead to many of them just quitting the game or at least being alot more conservative and careful with their in game spending and actions to avoid further financial losses What makes you think that it’s necessarily the “casual players” who are spending ISK on PLEX to feed their accounts, and that the veterans are the ones buying PLEX from CCP to trade for more in-game stuff? Why can’t it be the other way around, with newer players taking advantage of the high value of PLEX to get a head start in the game? Your conclusions are predicated on a custom-tailored reality that you had to construct in order to make them valid, instead of one naturally determined by data and empirical observation. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/will-the-latest-omega-price-hikes-cause-an-in-game-economic-recesionn/370433)._
