OK, given that a Plex currently sells in Jita for 380,000,000 ISK and I need to convert an entire plex to obtain this new currency to buy cosmetic items as the dev blog suggests .... how expensive are these damn things?? I mean.... 380 MILLION ! Do I really want to buy enough T-shirts to clothe the entire population of the western world? or do I just get the galaxys most expensive pair of shoes? How inflated is the New Eden economey?

Edited by: MotherMoon on 30/05/2011 11:59:40 Each item cost about 1 to 10 aurum.
One plex gives about 3500 Aurum
So you can buy about 1000 MT items for one plex.
Or you can trade that one plex for 400 million isk, and use half of it to buy every single item that MT store has to offer off the normal market.
Most MT items will be sold on the market by players for 200,000 isk to 2 million isk
yes it's suppose to be this way.

ok but I have a question for you before you go rage all over the place.
how much is a t1 frig worth in real life money. Just use the conversion rate that plex gives us, and tell me what number you come up with.

Edited by: MotherMoon on 30/05/2011 12:25:13 Fine I'll just say it.
the price for a tech one frigate in cash is wroth .5 cents. As in half a cent. So the evil greedy CCP MT company wants to sell hats for less than a penny.

Confirming that most EVE players have difficulty paying for a T1 frig.

Three things:
1) I think the PLEX:AUR ratio is fixed so you get 3,500 AUR for a plex; 2) The plans are that AUR will also be sold for ISK so you don't neccessarily have to get a whole plex in order to buy vanity stuff (AUR can be transfered between people); 3) I don't think the prices on Duality will be the same as on TQ.

Those aren't the plans, Aurum can only exist after someone spends $35 to get timecodes => converts to PLEX, sells a PLEX, converts to Aurum. That isn't the same thing as Aurum being sold for ISK where no real money is involved in the transfer.
You are correct no one individually HAS to convert a whole PLEX themselves to get vanity items BUT a whole PLEX HAS to be converted to make every Aurum unit of currency.

Bumpage for being sagely.
Wish it wasn't true but yes we've seen it with our own eyes, Estamel's Monocle for over a billion.
If this junk had been frig priced it would have been tolerable and perhaps silly fun, to see even the most mundane of items costing faction bs prices is just so insulting it's hard to put into words.
Sorry to see that so many people were right about this.

Darvec, Oh wise sage please let me know what the winning lottery numbers are! Or maybe, will I get promoted on my next review? Better yet, does that girl down the hall really like me? You must know, scary how right you were.
