Also why did you change the buy price for balance and not the sell price? With this you cut the profit from players that cant buy from pobs, but players that can buy from pobs have the same profit as befor!
Platinum was always sold at three places: Noshima Freeport, Tsukishima Liner Yards, and Planet Denver. We have replaced Tsukishima with Fuchu Prison for the event, and potentially for the foreseeable future.
As you point out, the purpose of bumping the base price and not just the sale price is to incentivize mining and refining in POBs. We want to see if people will take advantage of this, or just not bother. These events are to boost activity in the area and the resulting trade routes, but also to take a look at parts of the economy in relation to the whole.
There are multiple POBs in place able to refine platinum. Contact their owners to get in on the profits, or set up your own base to attempt to do the same. All we can do is provide incentives, but if people prefer to continue trading on their own, that's also possible - at a reduced profit margin.
