It's awesome that ccp gives us deals for Black Friday but why no discount on subscription time? |

Isn't a PLEX deal essentially a deal on sub time? =x
And no. |

even after the sale discount it's cheaper to sub normally then purchase a plex and then apply it to your account. |

Nope. New accounts only, as they state in their descriptions.

Typically, a sale is meant to spur on a higher rate of sale for that product in order to offset the potential loss of profit.
If CCP just handed out cheap subs to practically everyone, it would require a massive boost in players who were not subbing before.
Don't expect to happen any time soon. |

In essence it boils down to this: If you buy PLEX irl for anything else than to trade for Isk ingame, you are throwing rl money away. Not that CCP minds, they are the beneficiary of that thrown away money...

Why would a non-retail , non-amarican company with a non-seasonal product even be aware of black Friday

I had to Google it. As I understand it is some sort of end of year sale. Not really an end of year sale. "Black Friday" is the day after American Thanksgiving, when stores throughout the country open at midnight with massive deals on all kinds of consumer products (TVs, iPads, etc.). It's basically a big rush to the stores for Christmas shopping and deals to lure shoppers to their stores since holiday shopping "officially" starts them.
I also was looking for game time but I usually go to Amazon for that when they have sales. They just had one though so I don't think they'll have one anytime soon.

I had to Google it. As I understand it is some sort of end of year sale. It's a yearly, post-turkey slaughter, ritual of cranberry sauce-crazed shoppers engaging in mortal combat over the latest consoles, appliances, and "Tickle-me-Elmo's". Allegedly for "Hot deals" on recently marked up items. (brought to you by walmart, best buy, and target)
It is both entertaining to watch (from home), and terrifying to know these people exist outside of their 60 seconds of youtube video.
Camera-phones are what I am thankful for this thanksgiving. |

dude, $15/month is very cheap! and as far as i know, they haven't changed that sub rate from the start. so if you consider the inflation rate for the past +10 years, we are actually getting a really BIG discount already.

I haven't found any. In the account management it says 'Paid for through Amazon' or something so it's all legit. It's really easy too since you just link up your accounts to your amazon account. I also get points for using my amazon card to buy them there too which adds another 3% in savings.

Thanks for the Amazon tip -- I saved about 15% and it's a very easy process.
- select the subscription duration on amazon - click the 'buy' button - on the next page a very small pull down box will appear above the complete purchase button - be sure to use this box to add/select an Eve account - if you select 'add link' you will be directed to the CCP login screen to create the link - after creating the link make sure the pull down box shows the account you want to add game time to - complete purchase on amazon
I had to log out and log in on the CCP account management page to show the updated expiration date - select cancel subscription from CCP account management to turn off auto bill (not sure if this would happen with Amazon)
Only downside I see is that Amazon requires a US billing address for the purchase.

PLEX has always been more expensive than buying a sub, not sure why this is a thing?

Because PLEX are intended to be used for MCT, cosmetic addons like Fedo Unicorns and to resell for ISK in game.
The assumption is that anyone just wanting to sub for cash will buy a sub not buy a PLEX. |
