Edited by: Lexandrius Megens on 27/02/2009 10:14:27 Just a heads up to those that want to buy time codes in here!
In game Plex prices (via market sell orders) are now around 300M for 30 days. I spotted 298M yesterday on more then one trade hub. I see plenty of sellers up here for 650M ish for 60 days. Thats at least 25M over price based on 30 days.
This comes down to you paying over 8% more for exactly the same product that you can get in game via a SECURE way buying it from the market and not contracts!
You should give it a thought...

I will add to this some:
Many people still doesn't know, that they can buy PLEX anywhere, even in hostile 0.0 - it's doesn't matter. PLEX can be activated from ANY region, from ANY range - just right-click on PLEX and select "activate".
So, sort by price, and buy cheapest, there is no need to travel in laggy tradehubs.

They also know its possible to scam with the ingame GTC version called PLEX. And as such I guess many prefer the safe way.

The ingame system is entirely safe as long as you aren't stupid. If you buy a GTC off the market, *NOTHING* can go wrong unless you aren't wary of the price of by accident set a buyorder for 10x the price.

The GTC prices in the Bazaar are fluctuating throughout the day, so, one card might be cheaper than the counterpart on contracts, one more expensive. Supply and demand
And, of course, PLEX can not be used on an inactive character, so the GTC sold here have one advantage over the PLEX cards. Real men do it the hard way: fly Minmatar! |

I have lost faith in the humanity a long time ago. So if its not pure stupidity then its greed. If its not greed then its something else. Some people seems to want to be scammed for some reason....

Huh, you did not change the statement at all. Just stop with your crappy attempts at "Fixed it for you" posts.
He is right, the in-game mechanics are all *SAFE* unless you are an idiot. Wait, except for trade windows.. but market, contracts.. so long as you can read you will not get scammed!

I don't get it.. why are GTC/PLEX profitable for CCP? Lots of players don't pay a real life subscription so I don't see the point.
Is it a inflation-cut method or something?

GTC/PLEX are not being created by CCP. They are bought off CCP with RL ISK; aka real money and are then either sold as a GTC for ISK or converted to a PLEX and sold directly ingame. --------

All subscriptions are paid for. GTC/PLEX just allows you to trade subscription time for ISK (and vice versa) with other players. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in =v=… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

He's right, you're wrong. Market = price only, buyer know exactly what is going on. Those that get scammed, get scammed from freeform contract, not market. And contracts are safe as well, you get a warning popup (unless you turned it off - then you are yourself responsible). Freeform contracts, however, is the breeding ground for scammers, noone should use it. -

And it increases the playerbase, which improves the game as a whole. Market, pvp targets, etc. -

Oh thanks for the info :)
300M might seem a bit too much for a noob, but its definitely great for an advanced player I guess.
I would love to create 2 alts and maintain them with PLEXs just not sure if I will be able. Currently I earn like 10mil a day so this gives an exact zero-growth if I were paying with PLEX lol... not to tell that playing 3 alts would reduce productivity. No way im earning the same per hour with them all.

Not enough to learn how to spell 'these' --
Originally by: CCP Whisper No it is not an official statement. Not everything surrounded by blue bars is an official statement which can be quoted as fact until the end of time. Deal with it.
