CCP - providing evidence their AURUM strategy failed. Priceless.

Edited by: Dariel Ash on 25/07/2011 11:40:29 WTF?
But I like it! Thank you for devblogging.
As an aside, it IS interesting that PLEX prices only rose by about 0.4% in the month, and if CCP were good at PR (they haven't skilled this yes) they would have said that the NeX had over priced junk in it to prevent a sudden PLEX -> AURUM conversion in the majority of the player base thus causing the price of plex to rocket.
For now we'll just have to speculate that some of the people with stockpiles leaked them off to make sum extra profit.
Again, I love devblogs like this, nom nom nom.

have you already forgotten how people were before the incarna release ? they were hoping, and the plex market had raised a lot, ready to buy cheap clothes to resell them... until they saw the truth and most of these canceled their plans. plex price raised a lot before the launch, then crashed when seeing the patch. ps : but it's true it's tempting to troll the blogger here xD

I wonder if the falling price of data cores is related to the lack of demand for ships?

A number of players were complaining that PLEX would skyrocket since people would convert it all into aurum. This blog post refutes the claim

So, they noticed how people are furiously trading PLEXes for AUR, right? They can't get enough PLEXes because everyone is so anxious to pay the appropiate, realistic, thoroughly thought out and ultimately affordable prices of EVE's MT scheme...
[/sarcasm]
OK, OK: probably the whole NEX failheap was not supposed to remove any PLEXes from the market nor sell any extra GTCs. But it's funny to see plexes for sell at 354 million. |

Please tell me that you actually paid attention to the playerbase reaction when the Nex Store was released, and based on that reaction, you're not at all surprised that Plex prices fell.
If more Aurum-priced products had been released, at more varied price points, and had social areas been available for players to meet each other, then Plex prices would have risen.

Seems to me CCP's game designers has enclosed them off in their own tiny little bubble and is singing not only off key but is humming lynnyrd skynnerd when the customers are singing zeppelin songs.

We will change the format of the QEN but this devblog and the data that comes along with it is an addition to other economic information available to the players. This is a part of a larger plan to give more data directly to players so that they can do their own analysis. And yes, this will continue in the future.
We have not published QENs for 2010 and will most likely not publish them in the previous format but rather moving the Economic Newsletters to more of an annual report. The frequency of the publication is though still being discussed.

Quote: The most interesting development this month was the development of the PLEX price, which only grew by 0.4% from May to June, despite the launch of the Noble Exchange and the ability to convert PLEXes to AURUM for such transactions. Admittedly, the price rose throughout May, spiking around June 1, but it has since fallen back to previous levels, making the monthly average prices in May and June roughly equal.
And people still wonder why I call him Councelor Troy.
Honestly you release a product that by your own admition was far from ready for release with a full specturm of products for a fractional product that looks to the players like nothing more than a naked money grab.
that and frankly it aparently escaped your notice that Plex is bascialy exactly like Gold. any real increase in price will be maches by people diverting from the black market to the plexmarket, your recent change to allow single plex sales just made it easyer for people to justify an impulse buy of one plex worth ment that your losses of 2X sales was more than offset by 1X sales.
Lets be honest, no mater what you do and say, The Bunglers you work for are almost hellbent on beating anything you do or say to help them into poi.

Because fudging the numbers to make the economy not look horribly broken is hard? Because CCP stopped giving a ****?
I'd settle for the public release of a few more back issues of Fearless; that would be far more illuminating than an economic newsletter for a 'sandbox' video game whose 'economy' is based on botting/RMTing and now microtransactions/dev interference. Make it happen, Doc!

Please don't take this the wrong way, but CCP has become entirely too easy to predict in its actions, inactions and decision patterns.
That has nothing to do with the value of transparancy I should add, it has everything to do with those actions, inactions and decision patterns.
That being said, in light of CCP's commitment on communication with its customers as reaffirmed by CCP recently in light of recent events, it would help to provide some insight to people who do not dig into matters. It prevents people from running off with assumptions, rather than conclusions. Insight in regards to your specific motivations for said changes.
After all, it is the divide between presentation and delivery which has unfortunately become a structural affair. I know, yes there is the argument of "there is too much insight from our customers into XYZ". That is understandable, but also quite wrong. It's an impression, rooted in very different things than the effective game dynamic. And yes, there is also the argument of sensitivity of data as well as variables. Now please do not take this the wrong way, but you do have rather unique customers, and you as CCP are part of the dynamic you created. The less information and communication provided, the more the dynamic becomes subject to study and analysis - and remember, that includes CCP as well as sensitive data and variables.
The worst thing to do, is to leave such gaps. Why? Because customers fill them in, in group behaviour bordering on social dynamics which creates its own momentum. Since CCP has an interesting dependancy there, in at minimum two ways, I do not think that is a road to ignore.
I fully understand that there is initiative and focus to take it deeper without showing too many cards. That is commendable. But can you understand that two out of three consumer/service currencies have been compromised? Belief, trust, leaving emotion standing solo. CCP itself has its own battle with that, as Zulu referred to more than once in the aftermath (or rather: pause) of recent events.
It is simply no longer enough to drop a hint, and then leave the stage. The dynamic has grown so much that what was fine in earlier days these days leaves vacuums (of information, communication, social interaction, and so forth). What happens with vacuums? Well, the same as the previous events of disruptions in the interdependancy between CCP and its customers.

BOO HISSS, this is full of fail sauce. I would like the QEN! It doesn't have to come via the paper work up that i'm sure was intensive before, and i do thank you for them and the work put into them.
We do want that information though, it gives us good statistics to put to our devious minds about whether ship production or LP conversion is coming to the top of lists amognst other things.
How about a market function for the future that gives us population figures, regional poppulations per month. Ship manufacturing in tonnage (Hi sec only would even hlep) There are lots of things we'd like to see.

There are too many reasons to list here why I do not like THIS at all.
This is denying players information that has been relied upon for years. CCP is really changing too much to soon.
I truly do believe minds have been lost at CCP, they have absolutely no direction, and SEEM to be deliberately ANGERING as many players as can be humanly possible in the shortest amount of time possible.
The gaming world has NEVER seen this kind of mindless chaos sustained: over 30 days now since the intial protest.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED, and what is changing in not to our benefit in the slightest.
Please do not touch the beautiful format of the QEN or it's frequency.
THERE IS NO NEED. AT ALL. Sweet Jesus what are you trying to do here??? Can you give just ONE GOOD REASON why this should be? Just one ?
IS there even a plan anywhere at all at CCP ?? Anything concrete at all besides demanding the NEX store be there ??
More BS and nothing any different than IncarnaFail Day. It has not stopped yet, and frankly we players are too exhausted to be enthusistic about any of this.
I'm done. Too PO'd to do anythng but ramble like an idiot now.

Work? Intensive? It seems to me you'd set it up once (pulling # from a database, make a few graphs) and then automate it thereafter. Sprinkle with the 'insightful' commentary of your choice. Done.
CCP is changing EVE from a long-grind sandbox MMO to (F2P?) Barbies in Space with MT. Your subscription dollars/euros are tiding them over while they do it.

Until you see it do not quote me but I am guessing is that all info in the QN will now be available but in Game ie in character. NPC corps will post a news item with the info. Aslong as a Wiki gets made linking all the data. Its a less resource intensive method and makes the game deeper.
CCP is making a big deal now of RP info giving just makes since that Market data would follow the same rules. Means that we will get more data more often.
Makes good content for a Market watch channel on the CQ main screen.
