What I blow on my girl for dinner would plex my accts for 3 months. I do this about once a week. So... yeah. Cash > PLEX/isk.

The interesting question is at what price level CCP will start injecting their spare stock of 10.000 PLEX they have confiscated from RMT operations. Dominique Vasilkovsky Mashie Saldana Monica Foulkes |

Still a student at the moment, so I'll probably keep on PLEXing my accounts even if prices rise about a billion.
In a few years I should have a job, and a well paying one at that, and I could see the advantage in not just paying for a sub but also indirectly buying ISK to cover big things like a carrier or freighter. |

I've boycotted plex. **** used to be 200-300m. Now they're just gouging prices like oil companies. Don't buy plex. Pay with RL cash. Starve the gougers. |

GTC 60: 1 bil ISK = 30,49 EUR PLEX 30: x ISK= 19,95 EUR
Use the rule of three to find out what 1 Plex is max. worth.
19,95 EUR / 15,25 EUR * 500m ISK = 654m ISK |

If you're playing the game so much that you can afford PLEX for multiple accounts maybe you should consider, like, I don't know, maybe SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPER? At least one sub shouldn't be too much for anyone. |

I have other financial priorities than gaming right now, and can't justify spending the cash on Eve when I have a sizable library and a large selection of F2P games out there. If at any point I stop enjoying Eve because I have spend all my time grinding for PLEX, I'm out.

It was more directed to the people that are suggesting they would quit the game because they can't play for free. Sure someone has to buy that PLEX with real world currency before you can purchase it in game, but if those 'freeloaders' stop playing demand WILL go down, and therefore less PLEX will be purchased as a result. You're not that bright, are you? |

I pay a monthly fee because I do not have much time to spend in game, so I would prefer to enjoy the time spent doing things I like, and unfortunately, what I like does not generate enough ISK to comfortably plex.

It's really pay to lose, since people who buy PLEX so they can afford shiney stuff tend to lose it pretty fast. Mining Barge buff: CCP-áhas acknowledged that miners in general-áare too stupid to make the correct fitting choices to make ganking them unprofitable. |

I just sold a character (it's what I do).
13M SP. Normally I'd be lucky to get 5.5B for it. But some guy wanted it real bad and offered 8B. I'm not going to turn that down so I log in to set things up and he says, " Hold on a sec. I just have to buy the PLEXes to sell for the sale."
Moral is that not only is PLEX RMT, but it's one of the root causes of the runaway inflation going on right now.
How can a mission runner, miner or builder compete with a guy who has deep pockets IRL and nothing to spend it on but his MMO du jour. PLEX should be removed and just go back to GTC's and make them not sellable for ISK.
Game Time Code. I think people have forgotten what that actually means. Not Get The Cash.

Neither is buying ISK from an RMT site. Some poor ******* still had to make the ISK to sell. But that doesn't make it right.

I wouldn't sell it. That's the point.
It's purpose is to allow people who can't or won't use a sub to play the game. At least originally. Now it's just a legit avenue for RMT.

But I don't understand. Why would anyone buy GTC instead of just subscribing if all you could do with GTC was buy subscription time anyway? https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=143535 |

Meh, I've bought a lot lately. Cashed out big on Diablo 3: Crap Edition, so spendt the cash from that and bought 18. Might just end up rebuying and using once price drops though, usually does during winter. |

PLEX and RMT both encourage ISK farming.
PLEX encourage players to ISK farm so that they can play for free.
RMT encourages ISK sellers to ISK farm so that they can make more RL money.
I'm sure bots enter into the equation too. |
