Very much apreciated that CCP banhammerd remap for plex.
And if someone wants to fly a pink/limegreen CNR for 300m/$15, i donŠt care. Same when fake girl avatar wears a fake seal fur when walking in station.
Kudos, CCP!

This.
Free to play is the new kid in town and everyone is moving there. And honestly, how many of us pay 15 a month? I know I don't. For most intents and purposes the game is free to play, and if the Plex thing stopped, a lot of us would leave.
CCP is probably looking for ways to improve their bottom line that won't all dry up if people with more $ than brains stop buying plex to get supercaps.
'Free to play' EVE would be a lot different animal than the one we have today. The 'cost' of keeping alt account alive (bew it real money or plex) is one of the core things keeping population more or less under control. If accounts would be 'free' then everyone would fly around with 10 alt accounts at a time. You can do so currently as well, but to do so you must have certain amount of playtime per month for it to be 'worth it'.
I would not mind ofc if montly subscription fee would be a bit lower. As long as it does not mean that microtransactions allow you to do something that has real ingame effect. Like you know .... "buy T2 BPO only 99.90 / piece".

I pay for both my accounts, because I enjoy this game enough that I think CCP deserves my money. But that's just me.
Following your logic, however, it would actually make MORE sense for CCP to nix PLEX...it would force many addicts to start paying for the game rather than leave, and it would certainly solve a lot of the traffic issues caused by people who aren't even paying for the game.
PLEX allows more people to play and become more popular with potential credit card users, but I'm not at all sure it's in their best interests from a business standpoint.

You have to keep in mind that those ppl's accounts are still paid for with RL cash in the end. If I could not pay with PLEX I would only have one account. Now I have 2 accounts that are all paid for with RL cash in the end, just not by me but by someone who doesn't mind trading RL cash for iskies.

You're not very bright, are you? That to put it somewhat polite, cause I haven't heard such utter nonsense in a long time.

That may be so. Now that you've mentioned it, I can see how more players, even non-paying ones, will prompt those who do use a credit card to buy more PLEXes to sell to them for isk.
Makes more sense now. Thank you for the insight.
