I still maintain that P2s seem to be beating the Consumer Price Index though.<br /><br />Prices do go up when the game gets busier as Gevlon pointed out. Also prices go up around an expansion, especially one like Ret which encouraged a lot of ship building.<br /><br />I guess CCP have done unusually well at extending the seasonal expansion player spike with very good PR around Ret 1.1, the summer expansion, fanfest and the CSM minutes so that a high player count that usually lasts a month has been maintained since December with no sign of faltering.<br /><br />Another possible explanation is a surge in demand for Nanite Repair Paste related to the new ancillary armour repair module.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-60501155183038758032013-02-17T09:05:05.936+00:002013-02-17T09:05:05.936+00:00A lot more than just PI items have been going up i...A lot more than just PI items have been going up in price for a while now. I see 2 major reason for it, there may be others.<br /><br />1. More people are playing now than 6 months ago. There are more people online and all the market hubs have more pilots docked and active at just about time.<br /><br />2. A lot of people got very rich abusing the FW orbit thing. They're spending that isk now, creating more demand for a lot of stuff and driving prices up.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-31710381498287886142013-02-15T22:44:58.818+00:002013-02-15T22:44:58.818+00:00I have no particular idea as to why the increase o...I have no particular idea as to why the increase other than agreeing with the last line in what Gevlon said above with Increase demand and not enough supply causing increasing prices.<br /><br />What I have seen recently is a bunch of my P1 PI stock has sold on the market in my region and that's PI stuff that had sat on the market at higher prices that I didn't care all that much if it sold quickly but there in case the market run dry to sell off. And the thought recently I had at the time was their don't seem like all that much people are doing PI at various levels of PI for any number of reasons. Well that's at least till the PI market goes high enough that the herd of players start login to restart things and likely dive the market down again with over supply producing PI stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-22684330353727198612013-02-15T14:52:21.831+00:002013-02-15T14:52:21.831+00:00It could be that.

However returners and random newbies are unlikely to jump into P1-2 PI both because PI needs a commitment in skill points and schedule and because extraction is horrible in highsec where randoms are.<br /><br />Increased demand and not increased supply = price increaseGevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-13058196145272645622013-02-14T22:01:36.009+00:002013-02-14T22:01:36.009+00:00Well the price manipulation theory is rather tin f...Well the price manipulation theory is rather tin foil hat.<br /><br />What I certainly believe is the market is being driven by people stockpiling PI for DUST.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-84480573722037812702013-02-14T21:52:19.359+00:002013-02-14T21:52:19.359+00:00What I am confused about is more pos should mean m...What I am confused about is more pos should mean more pos fuel.<br /><br />I agree that PI prices are going up; especially for Pos fuel parts (of which mech parts is a component)<br /><br />But the Jita Caldari fuel block price is static or even slightly falling over the same period.<br /><br />Your price manipulation theory partly explains this.
