PLEX prices are rising, but they started 3 days ago before this devblog. Care to explain CCP? You have a leak? Someone gain from knowing this before?

CCP Phantom wrote:We will also convert all existing Aurum balances above 1000 Aurum to the new PLEX.

Rendering wrote:LOL that you think the CSM's opinion matters, or that it was anything other than sucking up like the sycophants they all are. CSM opinions matters to me, because CSM are players representatives (at least some of them), not CCP representatives. This is not some game balancing issue, some players paid real cash money for AURUM. How do you thing CCP convince me to spend my money on the game when they do things like this? This must be transparent. CSM are here for the players, not CCP, election are here and they afraid of talking about difficult issues?
As for CSM, never like the concept, and frankly I can't see the benefit of having them as my representative. Just a bunch of people who see content before playerbase and can give insignificant feedback most of the time.

What he forgot to add is that his market alt already made a killing by pushing plex prices 200m up 3 days ago. So basically he's telling me to spend RL or ingame money because of this arbirtary CCP decision?

For me they didnt ruin my wallet, they just removed a player from their game. Plex above a certain level just isnt worth it personally so when my current time added via the Plex from Aurum expires, i'll be gone again.
I was a player that had something like 6 years continuos sub, but stupid mechanic/game changes over the past 2 years made me completely lose interest. So for all those that say vets never leave as they have you by the short and curlies once addicted, let me tell you that p**ss a player off enough with stupid changes and they will go for good.
Except CCP don't & never have controlled the in game isk price for plex. That is player controlled, so you are putting blame on entirely the wrong people. Nevyn; Are you REALLY that naive? What do you think "plex sale" is about? Or should I say "used to be" about. History shows, whenever plex prices reached a critical high CCP would have a plex sale. With plex currently at 1.44 bil (1.41 buy order) for 30 days game time, CCP need to start looking at ways to fix it and fast. 200 mil isk increase over 3 days is not good for the Eve economy and its player base. I'm pretty sure they will let this price hike run for a while to see if the market / player population can sustain it, problem is, many of those who let subs lapse due to the high price of plex combined with the many game play issues, just won't come back. Injectors and extractors have been hit by this change too, a reasonable SP farming character produces 3 injectors per month. This used to be enough to plex the account and make a moderate profit. Now it just can't be done, extractors have gone up, as did injectors but not enough to cover the cost of a plex. 380 mil (profit per injector) X 3 leaves you around 300 mil shy of purchasing the 500 plex needed, forget any sort of profit. Why CCP need to start looking? It was expected that splitting PLEX into chunks will increase it's price. What CCP should do exactly? Educate ppl? "Minerals that I mine I free"? "Multiplication by 500 is hard?" In general I find most of homo sapiens sapiens stupid - 1 250 000 000 PLEX "that's too much CCP", 3 000 000 PLEX "well ok, and look how many new ships skins I can afford now...". PLEX will rise above 3 000 000 and will stay there. I don't think AURUM conversion hurt market as much as predicted.

I for one have 2 accounts expiring in less than a week - I can't/won't spend nearly 1.5 bil for a plex so will end up with another 2 Alpha clone state characters, making 7 out of 11 accounts - Unsubbed. I was talking to 2 of my alliance mates earlier - Between them 12 accounts went dead today, one has another 3 that expire in less than a week. This is just three players who all ran multiple accounts by farming SP - Which adds up to a small loss to CCP initially but grows to a larger loss as many other sp farmers realize it is now a lose lose situation and let those subs drop.
With "period average" as low as it is (which now includes alpha's), can CCP sustain the loss of paying customers by allowing plex prices to rise like they are?
Funny thing is, I think you have it a little backward - Plex prices go up - Less sales in the NES. High plex prices won't encourage players to spend it in the NES, it will do exactly the opposite.
CCp has worked hard over the last couple of years to keep plex prices fairly stable, I can't believe they are happy about the prospect of losing more players due to the price hike.. CCP needs to have a massive plex sale and soon before too much damage is done. Good times for ppl selling PLEX - income for CCP. PLEX is still underpriced. I can easily PLEX my account by casually playing. PLEX chunks is more attractive in NES than AURUM - psychology. Ppl more willingly spend 3mil than 1,5bil. I don't care for alts accounts, multiboxers, SP farms. CCP only let SP farms because they are earning money on extractors.
