For PLEX to get into the game...
Someone has to buy the PLEX?
Well this is n--- what was the point of this thread again?
The point is to highlight this big secret that people buy PLEX's for ISK and PLEX's are created with real money, huge secret is now out.
What I want to know is how many Icelandic children does it take to make a PLEX? Hmmm, CCP, tell us now!

All 9 of them WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place... |

You are missing a key point about the concept of plex cards. Of course ccp wants your money, they are a business after all. If you ran CCP and put your time into the game, wouldn't you want to earn some serious cash? Sure you would. If you just said "no" sock yourself in the sack for acting stupid, cause you know you want the money.
CCP can either run the game without a plex option, or they can keep it. What is going to make them more money? The plex option of course. WHy? Because people want to shoot ****, but they are to lazy to mine or gind the isk themselves, so they want to just drop some RL Cash on it and get some isk. Kind of like going to a casino, they are gambling their money away, but they are having fun.
On the other hand there is a serious need for more then a single account, and ccp knows this. CCP also knows that people will farm extra cash and sell it. CCP wants that cash. CCP answers with plex. Players that would rather spend some in game money to keep their alts going are out there and since they have the buyers for isk lined up, why not help the transaction and pocket the money for nothing? There would be a lot more people that would have an account going if there was a isk trade system for game time, if they removed the plex. CCP would have players buying isk off of the black market because not everyone is willing to grind the isk themselves.
Its a trade. Its hundreds of miles from being 'free' as you dared to suggest it. that 'free' ate up the time of the individual that decided to grind for that isk. It also was not free from for the player that dropped hard cash for it. The only free about it is what ccp is getting, free money. Considering the sky high prices for just 1 month of game time, it is anything but free. |

Buying PLEX costs more because you don't get the 'subscriber' discount that you get for putting a credit card in and letting them suck at your financial teat until you are a shrivelled up husk that does nothing but work and play eve.
Regardless, the people who buy plex with isk are happy because for them it really is free. The people that sell plex for isk are happy because they can buy their new gold plated space boat. CCP are happy because everyone else is happy.
In fact, the only person who isn't happy here is you OP. Why don't you buy a gold plated space boat, it might make you feel better.
I put free in quotes because people who play by buying in market plex don't know about half this stuff, they just think they play for free. I posted the topic so those who subscribe with plex but did not know this can know. But whatever, seems you all are just here to troll away anyway. Thus proving my point that the forums are soley for trolls to use. Good job CCP, you've built another troll site.

As I said above, just that you weren't trolling so you don't deserve the other part. |

CCP, I know you can't technically say anything about such stuff but if you see the topic, would you care to tell me if I am right? Would you rather have people play free with the PLEX method or subscribe instead?
I pity-liked you. |

I have requested that this thread be locked. People are assuming this was meant to troll for some reason, which it wasn't and since the trolls can not stop coming here to have some lulz, I am no longer going to pay attention to the topic. From this moment on, the topic is abandon. See ya folks. |
