Deflation, it's called deflation.

Regardless, not only are you trying to align plex with a date on the graph which does not line up, but the prices continually fluctuate to the point where there is no direct correlation between GTC/PLEX and RMT activity.
You're wrong. There were GTC's before, but they were not usid ingame. They existed as a string of numbers that would grant you 60 days playtime if entered in the corresponding field in your account mgmt page.

They then developed the idea of sabotaging RMT and started using these as an ingame item, developed the term "PLEX", which means "Pilot License Extension".
