I would quit Eve if I had to pay RL cash monthly.
Also, anyone who thinks CCP lose income due to plex is an imbecile of the highest order. Also (2) anyone who thinks that plex made a difference to Eve is equally an imbecile since you have always been able to buy GTCs for isk. I remember when I could buy 90 days gtc for 380 million isk.
So. There you have it, all the facts you will ever need about plex, now put this to sleep for good. Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing. |

plex or not, eve with no weed? wtf r u talkin about - lolol
...but its sad to realise how some people think the whole world is like their backyard, judging by their own living, the lifes of others.
"go find a job", "dont play the game if u cant afford it", "stop smokin ****"
jezaz, WTF w u ppl?
as for the question, i would still play the months i could afford it. right now i either pay sub or use plex depending if i can spent those 15 euros. and yes, i do work, in 2 jobs and i am not able every month to spend those euros. i have only 1 account, ofc.
and btw, if ccp was losing money from plex, then the plex would never had invented in the first place.

well lets not forget why ccp introduced ingame plex, to fight RMT. If they remove it RMT+¬rs are going to rejoice since theyre customer base starts growing again.
Fact is, some people just have ability to generate more isk then they know what to do with. No, im not one of those people, i suck at isk accumulation... And since plex is item that generates real world income to ccp when sold first time, theres really no reason to remove it.
Those that can play by isk, good for them. That isk is what keeps economy going. Similar to highsec pos charters sort of... [Insert something funny or smart here] |

In order to play again, you will like everyone else pay a subscription fee, just like WOW.
Would you still be playing? Would you have as many accounts as you currently have?
Yes, I would have as many accounts. I actually pay money for them. Using PLEX to support an account in my mind is counter productive. So you are going to subscribe to a game just so you can spend time in game grinding isk to pay for the game? Pick the annual payment, save money on the yearly fee, and just go do what suits you...

I've done and still do both depending on my current assets in and out of game. But if they removed plex then I'd expect that they hired alot more staff with the extra income and bring EvE up to a standard where it deserves that kind of subscription. Otherwise I'll just play Eve the way it's meant to be played, via the meta game. |

Ok, I admit I paraphrazed your statement. But please, go ahead and explain what you meant then. How did the PLEX make eve not a true sandbox, and how would its removal make eve a "true" sandbox again? |

Malka Badi'a wrote:Doc Severide wrote:I pay 5 accounts once a year. Cash only. I believe CCP should actually get paid for their hard work... Alright, fish ****. Let's get something straight. Buying a PLEX:$19.00 per month, or the standard special of $209.94 for 12 plexes. Subscribing:$14.95 per month, or the standard special of $131.40 for 12 months. The people who buy the PLEX from CCP give them $78.54 more per year than you ever will, which means that the people who buy those PLEX are making sure CCP get paid more for their hard work than your illogical butterlips ever could. Citations:
- https://secure.eveonline.com/UpdateSubscriptionInterval.aspx
- https://secure.eveonline.com/PLEX/ (limited special running right now, still more expensive than a subscription)
Except if you have any sense you'd never buy PLEX from CCP at all, but buy PLEX or ISK from an online supplier for pretty much half price. The men waved their hats, the ladies their umbrellas. One felt they would have liked to touch the steel muscles of the most courageous champions since antiquity. Who will carry off the first prize, entering the pantheon where only supermen may go? |

But no, not over the removal of PLEX. But if we had a return of prohibition in my nation, I'd possibly quit. |

I agree if your whole purpose is to grind enough isk to plex your account your playing the game for a reason, I don't see enjoyable. And I'm sure you super elite eveleetists cant plex and still enjoy the game. But, most of us peons can't do that.

Depends on wich way and how fast you can ''grind'' that isk . In my case and i think i speak for most traders or like me ex-traders making a plex a month is not more then a days work at most.And we all know the incursion/faction/xomplex runners will take no more then a few days at most .. |

You'd pay on a hacked server because tranquility would go down when CCP couldn't pay the bill.

There would be layoffs, possibly, but EVE has existed with far less active accounts than it does today. Not saying I agree with any such removal of PLEX, it's a silly thought. Though ideas of shutting down over PLEX removal is just as erroneous.

There's no question about it really. The server existed with far less players on it before, but that was on a smaller server, and pre loan. Post loan they openly admitted that the Incarna exodus almost broke them. A PLEX exodus would trump the Incarna rage by several magnitudes. |

One thing is clear, I would not have the number of accounts I do - and removing PLEX, yeah that's something CCP would do if they want to go bankrupt or if they are going F2P.

This. I pay EVE with cash exactly for this reason. Also I'm not a poor student sod IRL so why spend time on making EVE money whilst I can make a lot more money in real life 10 times faster and just pay?
Time = Money
1 hour rl works equals atleast one month of EVE sub. I find it hard to make 500mil (1 plex) in the same time

If CCP did remove PLEX (which they would never do), I would go back to subscription. I currently buy two PLEX a month, one for the account and one to sell to pad my wallet. |
