Could you find it in your heart to pay -ú9.99 no wait sorry 14.99e no wait i swear that e-mail said -ú9.99 who knows, ccp arnt sure....... Would you still play if you had to pay?
Krota Hetei Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 0	Posted - 2012.06.03 08:53:00 - [2] - Quote The people buying Plex to sell, obviously think it's worth paying to pay play. Since they are paying twice over.
DeMichael Crimson Republic University Minmatar Republic 2295	Posted - 2012.06.03 09:04:00 - [3] - Quote I've never used a PLEX to pay for subscription. I usually pay for 1 year subscription with a Credit Card, it's the best deal of all and I don't have to worry about my subscription each month. DMC
Snow Axe GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 363	Posted - 2012.06.03 09:06:00 - [4] - Quote Absolutely. For its laundry list of faults, it's the most unique game going right now.
Akirei Scytale Test Alliance Please Ignore 1538	Posted - 2012.06.03 09:10:00 - [5] - Quote It is significantly cheaper from a time investment perspective to pony over the subscription. If it takes you less time to make 500m ISK than it does to make $15, then you ought to re-evaluate your priorities. Also, EVE is the only MMO I can play without cursing the developers and burning out after a few weeks. It is not nearly as demanding of your time, and is completely free-form. I won't be playing another MMO, likely ever. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance

Ituhata Saken Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 212	Posted - 2012.06.03 12:27:00 - [8] - Quote I paid 15$ a month to play WoW for nearly 7 months just to log in, stand around in Orgrimmar, and eventually log off because I was tired of doing anything remotely productive in-game. It was really hard to let go of since I had put so much time and effort into my character but I finally had to admit that I was no longer having fun. I'm not rich or anything, to me 15$ is such a small portion of my monthly income that it's a non-issue, but there's no sense in giving away 15$ for a product that's no longer useful to you. That being said, I made up my mind about EvE last time around that on principle alone I will not spend more than a monthly subscription to play, if I can't make this game enjoyable without resorting to the plex/iwin/free isk button then I don't need ot be playing. You know what an answer is? It's a terminus -- an end. Answers are fine, but questions are where it's at. Questions bring us closer to understanding, -áthey can start a conversation or spark a revolution. So you might as well start asking... now.-á ~See you on the other side 6/6/12~

Probably in most poor countries, in richest ones if you can't make 15$ per hour you did it all wrong.

Then what I earn in Eve I can afford to lose in Eve. You want fries with that?

Sarah Schneider PonyWaffe Test Alliance Please Ignore 353	Posted - 2012.06.03 13:02:00 - [14] - Quote Probably won't, but not because of me not going to pay for the subs, most likely will be because my friends who use PLEXes would stop playing. "Eve isnGÇÖt some welcoming online utopia: itGÇÖs cut-throat, cruel, atavistic despite the futuristic setting. Give people a sandbox, and theyGÇÖll throw the sand in a rivalGÇÖs eyes before kicking them in the shins and destroying their sandcastle." -Keza MacDonald, IGN.

Not sure if Akirei Scytale really thought this through. You understood it backwards. Akirei Scytale said "LESS" not "more". If it takes less time to make 500m ISK compared to making 15$, assuming that you make at most 200m ISK per hour but probably much less, that means you make at most 7$ per hour but probably a lot less.

If you can make 500M/h but not $15/h there's still a problem. However with a single char make 500M/h is impossible, the ratio isk/h is quite limited, however a very few dudes can but those are really exceptions and I don't believe they can do this ratio every time they log unless trading.
Rajan Marelona Hedion University Amarr Empire 5	Posted - 2012.06.03 13:26:00 - [18] - Quote If you make 1$/hour working in RL, you should pay cash if you make under 25 mil ISK/hour, buy PLEX with ISK if you make more. If you make 7$/hour working in RL, you should pay cash if you make under 180 mil ISK/hour, buy PLEX with ISK if you make more. If you make 15$/hour working in RL, you should pay cash if you make under 385 mil ISK/hour, buy PLEX with ISK if you make more. If you make 30$/hour working in RL, you should pay cash if you make under 770 mil ISK/hour, buy PLEX with ISK if you make more.

Not sure if Akirei Scytale really thought this through. In my country people earn average 300-350 euro per month and they work minium 10hours per day, like ordinary people, manuals workers, confectioner, baker etc, is realy low payment while i compare payment to most rich countrys in EU 1200-1400euro per month, form this money they need pay for all kind of rent every month + food and all is expensive, however in my country is big payment dispresion, some people earn even 500-600euro, but in most cases ordinary people cant easy aford monthy onlines games payment, if you got like 350 euro per month and after paying all rent you need thinking how to survive next month... Back to OP, even i living in poor country driung my game period i spent xxx euro so far to buy GTC Form CCP, i would pay always real money if i can aford this, but to be honest i cant aford this every month by this way so if possible i use plexes. Answer to OP, if ccp remove plexes i will try to pay normal money so long as i got abbility to aford it. Ps. Sorry for my grammar.

I like your idea, payment depend idividual countrys economy conditions, but life is brutal, no marer where you living and how much you earn you always pay same amount of money like other.

Jame Jarl Retief Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne 129	Posted - 2012.06.03 13:41:00 - [22] - Quote Honestly? No, no I wouldn't. Not 100% sure, but about 85% sure. I might come back, check out the latest expansion about twice a year, but that's about it. It's the same deal as recently released Tera Online. I would play it if it was F2P. But at $15/mo, it's just not worth it. Note: I'm not saying I can't afford it, I'm saying that from a responsible consumer's point of view I can't justify throwing my money at an inferior product. From where I'm sitting, decision-makers at CCP are their own worst enemy. The game could be very, VERY far ahead of where it is today, if they made simple, intelligent choices and made simple, intelligent modifications to the game. As it applies to EVE, I can't see myself spending money on an MMO that doesn't even have the ability to change the font or scale size. And no, I don't consider 100%-110%-125% and that's it a viable UI scaling system. I like to play on high resolution on big screen, and even at 125% it's still too damn small. Until CCP starts fixing this very, very basic stuff that has been pretty much a standard feature for games post-2002, I don't see myself paying them for it. I'm not even talking "gankers vs miners" or the colossal failure that was Incarna. I mean very, very basic usability features.

Probably in most poor countries, in richest ones if you can't make 15$ per hour you did it all wrong. I grew up in countries like Ecuador and Thailand. Even there, if you have an internet connection, I can pretty much guarantee you will make $15 faster. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance
Ten Bulls Sons of Olsagard 159	Posted - 2012.06.03 14:25:00 - [25] - Quote If you play for fun, and you have 500M left over at the end of the month then you should buy PLEX. If its a game then its wrong to compare it to work unless you work for fun also.

Roisin Saoirse Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 110	Posted - 2012.06.03 15:42:00 - [28] - Quote I mostly paid for my main account with -ú, but my alt accounts were paid for with PLEX. If PLEX hadn't been around I'd have just stuck with a single account, so in answer to the OP yes and no.
