I don't know from who was the idea to split PLEX, but was a wrong idea. In this case PLEX item is big problem for new players. If this problem will happens for example to Injectors probably will not a problem, because if you do not buy or you can not buy for high price for your poor econony, you just will need to expend more time in game. PLEX item is a special item, because give you time in game to keep your Omega status, probably is the most important item in game. Of course, besides the possibility that I've made some hilarious error, this doesn't paint the whole picture because with the demise of ghost training the supply of injectors will decrease and the SP price will rise, but the basic point that ghosts could sustain a higher PLEX price for a given SP price remains.Īs you know PLEX pirce is increasing all days about 50M per day (500 PLEX's), that's is a fact and this is out of control. That's not a long way off the current PLEX price, so if the SP price doesn't change, non-ghost SP farming will soon become uneconomic. At the current SP price that breaks even at a PLEX price of 3.1 million (1.546 billion for an oldPLEX). That's more profit than I expected (what am I missing?)Īssuming skill extractors increase to track the PLEX price, you're basically turning 937 PLEX into 3.9 skill injectors. Your 3.9 skill injectors then sell for 750 million each, less 1% sales tax (we're assuming you can do all this in a 0% broker fee citadel somewhere): 2.896 billion ISK.

(Oddly these have lagged behind the PLEX price a bit they are "worth" 1.22 billion at the current PLEX price). EVE-central seems to be having a Moment and I'm in Hek, not Jita, so these figures may be a bit off (but before using buy offer prices I have verified that some have actually sold recently at that price), but to do that you need:ģ.9 skill extractors 270 million: 1.053 billion ISK. That equilibrium point is much lower for legitimate SP farming because it needs more PLEX per SP farmed.īack of the envelope, with a set of +5s and optimal map you can train 3.9 injectors worth in 30 days. I'm well aware of non-ghost SP farming, but the question is where the equilibrium point comes - there's a PLEX price (of course itself dependent on the SP price) where it becomes uneconomic. The break-even point for ghost training (where PLEX lets you train just enough SP to sell for the ISK for the PLEX) was a much higher PLEX price than, say, non-exploit skill farming.The banning of ghost training could also have the opposite effect because you can also farm SP legally by giving all your farming accounts Omega status (you buy Omega status with PLEX). Yes, CCP's goal is to make as much money as possible, like every other for-profit company in the whole.ĭo something about ghost training (which has just been done). Why isn't the 'average player' doing the normal thing and subscribing with real life money?ĬCP would certainly prefer a few thousand active players over SP farms, but how can they police that? ISBoxer's input broadcasting was easy, who could really argue with one click causing 20 actions to happen being reasonable? Mass numbers of accounts and using intentionally added mechanics to profit from people who are too lazy to take advantage of market opportunities is something completely different that CCP has never been against so even if they wanted to stop it, it's a bit more complicated than you make it out to be. a few years ago we had twice as many, even on weekdays. That strategy might be good for their wallets in the short term, but its very bad for the game in the long term. Apparently the #1 goal for CCP is to sqeeze as much money out of the existing playerbase as possible. How is it balanced to make billions per month with no work and no risk? If CCP wouldnt earn money with it (by selling skill extractors), it would be removed / blocked within days.Įvery year CCP monetizes more aspects of the game by adding more uses for PLEX. What would you prefer? A few thousand active players or a few thousand SP farm accounts who only login once a month and never undock? SP farms (the legal version) create a huge demand for PLEX which drives up the prices. These days the PLEX market is controlled by the space rich, speculators and investors who hoard millions of PLEX.

So that average players can afford to pay their subscription with ISK?
