Power of 2 consumes a shitton of plex ahead of time. I used about 800 plex on my next batch of po2s which won't require any more plexing for 6-8 months. |

They'll fall slightly soon but continue to trend upward medium term. Kwark is blowing his own trumpet - trying to attribute a grand economic change to his own activities. I just wonder why he made those 250+ chars in a time where PLEX prices are increasing and demand for these pre-built alts is dropping like a stone. I don't for a moment believe that I single handedly caused a spike, nothing of the sort, I bought the plex I consumed for this months ago. However Po2 is an incredible offer which offers gains for anyone who pays for their game time with plex and just has one toon on an account (3 plex for Po2, 2 plex for transfer = 6 months game time for 5 plex), anyone who wants a long term alt, people who want to start a bunch of PI alts or whatever for passive income (you can get 3 very nicely trained ones on a Po2) or people like myself who train for the bazaar. A sizable proportion of the eve community could profit from buying their game time in advance with plex through Po2, 6 months for 3 plex is a ridiculously attractive offer, and people will be using it.
As for your speculation about the demand on the bazaar, I've seen nothing to back that up. |

Still, the man is touching upon a point in a roundabout way. Making isk in eve has never been simpler, the creation of tools such as fuzzworks have made high isk/lp conversions possible for the masses, minmatar fw has achieved stable dominance as the isk making faction, incursions have been pretty much worked out and people hold your hands through them while renting (read afk botting anoms) has never been easier to get into.
The amount of work needed for an idiot to make 800m is considerably less than it was for the same idiot 3 years ago to make 400m. |

I challenge each of you to start a fresh 14-day trial (no Power of Two, no PLEX), andstart playing the game like a total noob. Don't transfer ISK or assets between characters. Don't help your new character out with your previously existing characters. Don't accept ISK or assets from existing friends/corpmates. Don't join your current corp. For bonus points, don't use special information/experience that you have access to for the purpose of playing the market. Play as a true noob.
When you have enough ISK to have a stable of ships for your tasks, plus some backups for PvP, and enough for PLEX, THEN tell everyone how "easy" it is. step 1, join fw step 2, put warp core stabs on |

Another thing worth noting is that game time doesn't just give you access to playing the game, it also gives you access to skill training. Skill training which increases the isk value of the character and, if you don't train ******** skills, allows you to unlock the sunk value of the plex upon selling of the character. Say all you wanted to do was basic frig pvp, you could play on the same character for a year, sell it for a value greater than the cost of 12 plex, make a new character and do the same again. If you know how to train characters then owning a character not only covers the plex cost, it makes you isk.
It's only if you ignore the value increase of your asset that plexing costs isk. |
