I hope that prices do go up even higher, if the GTC prices were equivalent to the illegal ISK sellers it would force them out of business and EVE would be better off without all the macro chinese farmers. Either that or CCP allow you to purchase ISK from them at the same price as RMT traders, so that they dont generate new money they could only sell money which has been collected by things like sales tax and insurance payments etc.

As a side note, it appears that gtc prices are on the fall. Dare I say it was just normal market fluctuations???
No, it's called the weekend. They are up to 500+ mil again.

You guys do realize you have two months to find a good deal right?
It is just that most people prefer not to spend 2 months looking for one. They get easily bored in 1 hours and just grab the first one that pops up.

I think for 60 day card 500 mill is more than fair. That values 1 USD isk to around 12.5 Mill isk. If you look ISK sellers then thats really cheap. Imagine if GTC sellers would valuate dollar to same amount than those ISK sellers. Then there would be U reason to complain.

Oh, hai, I'm a poor student and CCP should do something to make it easier for me to run N accounts.
Why? 
Not liking to spend real money on gaming is your own problem really. The alternative is grinding ISK for people with more cash then you, but then you really don't get to whine about supply and demand affecting prices.
If mantaining N accounts is suddenly unfeasible then you, and you must have them in order to keep EvE fun, why not quit in favour of a hobby more within the boundaries of your wallet?

If you want cheaper GTCs, sell 'em cheaper. Simple eh? No! 'cause heaven or valhalla forbid, you would do something to fix things yourself
lol, thats kinda not how the market works..
Cheaper ones are bought instantly and the more pricey ones sell slowly, but they still set the benchmark.
And if you were selling gtc's, wld u really think, hmm im gonna sell my gtc for 200 mill less just coz im nice?
Im just glad i dont buy the damn things x)

there is nothing wrong as soon as people realise just how lucrative GTCs are the uptake in traders will increase which will reduce the in game value. what we are seeing is a classic supply and demand bubble.

Well, the price for a GTC seems to be 400m-500m now.
I bet the OP doesn't change the title of the fred.

To the OP's subject. If you don't like the price of GTC's stop buying them...
That's the best way to make the price drop |

Some people might do that but the fact remains that as long as people are willing to pay high prices the price of GTC's will remain high. Yesterday I decided to sell two of my spare GTC's, for what I thought was a ridiculous price, as an experiment to see how the GTC market behaved. I didn't expect it to be sold that quickly (KIAEddz you rich bastard lol) but they did. As soon as people saw mine get sold quickly they upped their prices to match mine or go even higher. After a while nobody seemed to be buying GTC's and the first 10 posts were all WTS posts. As can be expected, the sudden competition made everyone edit their post to match the nearest competitor selling just below them. After an hour the prices dropped 50M and sales started picking up.
During the few hours I was watching the GTC market I noticed that if you are patient enough you can buy a GTC for very cheap. Some people sold GTC's for 400M when the competition was at 480-500M. So if you want cheap GTC's just be patient and watch the market. If you don't have patience and you're ready to pay the full price then don't complain.
Oh and here's a free tip to make easy money for all of those that buy GTC's with real money: buy your GTC the same way you usually do and instead of applying the GTC directly to your account simply sell it for high and then buy another for cheap. You can easily make 10-50M and still end up with adding time to your account.

To you I say... HA HA... Why did you have several million dollars all in one place, and that several million is enough to trigger a debt collector. Sounds like you should have spread out those millions and lowered your possible risk.
To the OP, it's easy enough... If you don't like the price... Don't buy em!

I'm a single mother with 8 children, I can't 'get a job' as looking after my babies is a full time job in it's own right.
I can't afford 650m isk for a gtc so my account will have to go into hibernation until such time as prices come down.
I have tried getting the children to mine for me but they just get it yet, have you ever tried explaining to a 2 year old that megacyte is better than tritanium it's not easy believe me.

This is simple:
1) People who are selling GTC's have a set $-to-ISK ratio. If that ratio is not met, they won't sell. Thus, a little under $40 bought a 90-day GTC, it now buys a 60-day GTC, but they're going to be sold at (approximately) the same price.
2) As soon as 1) takes hold, demand goes up by 50%, because people who used to spend an amount (X) on a 90-day GTC now spend it on a 60-day.
3) As demand goes up, the feedback loop closes and prices go up still further.
Anyone who expected prices for 60-day GTC's to stabilize at those of 90-day GTC's simply hadn't thought it through.

Or pay 12 euro's for a month, or pay 500m isk...
If you find 500m isk too much (which it isn't) then just pay that ridiculous low amount of money, what it is, really.

I have 5 accounts and I just pay for all of them. :P
Be surprised, just save a few dollars here, a few dollars there, and you'll find EVE is fairly easy to afford. Same as saving in game isk, course I'm no good at that for some reason.
