PLEX is more of a bonds market.<br /><br />If I had X amount of wealth in 2011 and had to leave Eve but knew I'd be back, I would not invest all my ISK into ships and stuff. Who knows what state each item on the market will be in 2012 or 2017. What I invested in may have gone up, but it may have gone down. But PLEX historically has a slight rise in value year over year. I know when I get back that while I may not be able to convert my PLEX for fabulous prizes on massive gains, I will be able to sell my PLEX and get somewhere around the same value after inflation that I put into it.<br /><br />PLEX is a long term hedge against ruin, and there are perfectly good reasons for doing it if one is playing the long game. PLEX will never make you the the money shorter term buy/sell will on the commodities market, but if you want a long term stable backstop of assets, PLEX it is. PLEX will cover the inflation losses from just hording ISK and keep value over the long term.Halyconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16799009527451064697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-52849426539939360942017-05-02T07:18:23.293+02:002017-05-02T07:18:23.293+02:00I think you are forgetting tolerance. not unlike ...I think you are forgetting tolerance. not unlike boiling a frog slowly you/the game can ignore tolerance. However huge swings in price often cause backlash.<br /><br />Pirate faction ships in eve is a good example when they were priced high due to stagnation and moon income people flew them for specific reasons. However since the eviction of goons, and the Russian civli war the price of faction ships has nosed dived with exception of primary rat ships they have held their value nicely.Provi Minernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-38364664956317185702017-05-02T06:05:57.005+02:002017-05-02T06:05:57.005+02:00No, you are not.
