No. I can't, so wouldn't. I'm unemployed now. 9.99 a month is a small fortune to me. I've more time than money right now.

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.

Unless you're a felon or something, it doesn't take all that long.

And there you have it. One little mistake.

Felonies don't tend to be "little" mistakes unless you were falsely convicted.

Spend a whole lot more time actively seeking employment.

Unless you're a felon or something, it doesn't take all that long.

In my country we have 35% unemployment for young, > 10% for the rest.
Who is over 30 and does not know some very good politician to corrupt, will never, never, NEVER find a job.

The "welfare state jobs" are only available past 55, so those between 30 and 55 are basically as good as dead.
There's a (usually 240 days) long unemployment subsidy but then you are on your own and also lose rights to pension.

So yes, it can take all that long.

What saved me is that I learned trading in EvE.

This let me learn trading in RL.

With RL trading earnings I can self employ AND pay PLEX.

So, EvE => PLEX => RL => PLEX => EvE

Felonies don't tend to be "little" mistakes unless you were falsely convicted.

Clever solution to your problem. Kudos.

Spain?

I like that about using eve to learn about trading.... 10/10 for ingenuity. Might put I play EVE on my CV

it hasnt even been 2 weeks yet, and im jsut waiting for subscirptions to expire that is all.

OK It was one big mistake. I got caught. Sorry couldnt resist that one.

Messing about over. In all seriousness in the UK unemployment is a sad fact of life. Try and theres another 1000 after the same job. So back to my original statement. Right now I cant.

Seeing as you're quitting and all, why are you still on the forums?

For someone who doesn't like, has grown tired of or is otherwise dissatisfied with the game you sure do spend an obsessive amount of time on the forums. It's almost as though you do like the game, and your outspoken plans to unsub are just a bluff.

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.

Thanks, Italy.

I probably would still play regardless of PLEX... PLEX is pretty nice though. I would miss the option...


That's brutal. South or North?

NW.

Indeed. I live and work in Norway, and probably make around $50 per hour. Not sure if Akirei Scytale really thought this through.

space communism owns let me tell you

Maybe it just hasn't occurred to you that there are a significant number of people that have to make a little in order for a small amount of people to make a lot. In any country, every person that is a high earner, is doing so at the expense of 100s or even 1000s of people that are now low earners. For mid-earners, they operate in the range of 3-7 people earning less, so they can earn more.

There is only so much money in the world, and the way it is handled and dispersed to the population is in a fashion that suits the ones controlling it.

Take for example a product that sells for 15$ on the shelf at a local convenience store. 1200 people work in factories and fields to produce that product for resale, and a small handfull of people profit from its actual sale.

Say the CEO makes 400K a year, and each of his upper staff and directors make 100K plus a year, which accounts for a total of 14 employees, and a bunch of mid-level staff make 50-80K per year, (we'll say 100), so now we've got gross revenues paying for 114 staff out of 1200 with available revenues for payroll on a product that will never really retail for more than 15$ on store shelves.

So now we've got a bunch of minor employees, (who in fact do most of the work), earning 20-30K per year out of the remaining revenues for payroll.

That's 1086 people earning in the 20-30K mark producing, packaging, and distributing a product for resale that retails at around $15, (their average earnings per hour or more), 100 people earning 50-80K for watching over them and handling sales and marketing, 13 people making 100K a year for making corporate decisions and talking to people, and 1 guy making 400K a year for essentially doing nothing.

The rest of the world works the same way. 1 person on top, a few people under him/her, and some more people beyong that who are well to do, and the rest just work and get by.

But in any developed nation, less than $15/hr. is sodding poor income. In some other countries, it may be a lot and hard to come by, and those countries may see greater differences between rich and poor than others, but in most countries, that or more is fairly standard. And yet, is it really a measure of income when its buying power changes depending on where you are.

Akirei isn't really wrong, so much as you are poorly understanding of his/her perspective. Incidently, I earn $15/hr. 36 years old, working in the Electrical trades as an apprentice. I've never earned more, and more often earned less.
