    That chart shows a downward trend in currency value. Inflation.

    Dude. Seriously. (no pun intended.)

    This chart shows how much you have to pay in USD in order to buy 400K ISK. It shows how the currency LOST in value for RMTers. This chart is the best possible proof of concept. It clearly shows that PLEX work!

    Edit: Also, as a direct consequence of the drop in value for RMTers, less and less ISK were present igame. the tISK decreased. and this leads to what effect? Ah, yes! DEFLATION!

    That chart doesn't show the purchasing power of ISK towards in game items. That chart shows the price of ISK in dollars.
