Pay to win came in when Plex was introduced, yet the public outcry was negligible because all of a sudden real life peasants could play eve and pay their subscription with ISK. The RL peasants were happy.
With the new store, the perception is thatin game items can basically be bought more directly for real money and so the very same peasants are in an uproar because they know they can't afford to do so.
If you were going to revolt against pay to win, you should have done so when Plex was introduced, to do so now is hypocritical. Every single person who has complained about this is a hypocritical peasant inbred who should have spent less time sleeping with their sister and more time getting a proper job that pays proper money. Bring in usable in game items direct for cash CCP, those of us with jobs will offset in spending the loss of subs of the peasants currently scraping together their subs from their childrens piggy banks.

Plex do not introduce a market which is not controlled by the playerbase. Thanks for being about 2 weeks too late to make another dumb thread about this. ~~~

Couldn't decide which of these two replies I should post:
a) 3/10 b) Look at you Miz, look who's whining.
Then I realised you made me reply, so the 3/10 was a bit low. This post is some kind of compromise, now I got to say b), but same time I can upgrade the three to a 5/10. Grats? -

Originally by: Miz Cenuij With the new store, the perception is thatin game items can basically be bought more directly for real money
No. The perception is that in-game items can be bought limitlessly for real money because it doesn't involve the market.
The perception is also/alternatively that items in this store might be better than the ones that can be had through the market (because if they aren't, why on earth would anyone ever be stupid enough to buy them?).
Both of which mean that it's not anything like how it works with PLEX, so the two are not comparable. With PLEX, you are only able to pay for as much win as the market is willing to sell you, using the same items that everyone else have at their disposal to win over you.
Whether either of these perceptions is reality or not has yet to be seen. ùùù ôWe want to try this thing called micro-transactions, but we don't know what it is. Can anyone explainà aw screw it, let's just do it! What could go wrong?ö ù ÇÇP |

PLEX isn¦t pay to win or buying magic goods, its a pragmatic way of killing off isk sellers (and their bots) whilst increasing CCPs game revenue and player experience (more targets), at least now when OP buys PLEX he¦s not risking a negative wallet or ban, so he should be grateful.
OP lives in bubble just like the Czars and he knows what happened to them.

Miz, I know you're trollin' but...
Plex was never pay to win - People with money but no ISK could effectively buy ISK and enjoy all the parts of Eve that people with lots of ISK could. Everyone played with the same toys, and those toys formed part of the Eve economy.
Where a plex was purchased for ISK and converted to gametime the system was in equilibrium ($15 for the plex, -$15 subscription from the person who redeems it). - I know there is an oversupply of PLEX that the market has not adjusted for, but the price *should* be dictated by supply and demand and will be the price that the marked can sustain.
With $ for "better" items we have a different situation. Firstly, there is no -$ balancing factor (which is great for CCP)
Secondly, items are introduced to the game which cannot otherwise be obtained through normal gameplay (this is a deal breaker) - even if the people who pay $ for these items sell them for ISK supply will always be dictated by the amount of $ sent to CCP, rather than time invested in playing the game. No amount of gameplay is rewarded.
Thirdly, it avoids the manufacturing system. The Eve economy depends on the flow of ISK between players, be it miners, manufacturers, moon goo overlords, researchers, datacore farmers - whatever. All those steps are bypassed. ISK flows only to the person who spends $ from the person who purchases the product - this is a bad thing.
Finally, improved items become a requirement to compete in the game. This isn't an issue when they are part of the game, and can be acquired through gameplay - but when you have to pay $ to play on an even footing (assuming demand outstrips supply for those items), something is wrong .... and on the flipside, if everything that is desireable can be bought what is there left to fight for?
Of course, this isn't the worst case senario - I can certainly imagine a situation where "win" items are bound to the purchasers account, *forcing* people to pay $ to get the items, rather than buy them for ISK from people who paid $.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with the concept of micro-transactions. I would be happy for just about anything which is currently an ISK sink to have a $ pricetag, and I'm not too bothered about vanity items - however, I would rather there was an option to purchase limited run blueprints for vanity items so that they could be produced by players using resources harvested by players - much better for the virtual economy.
Personally I could afford to live in a micro-transaction Eve, but I don't want to and I don't expect I would. Not because of the cost to me, but because of the cost to the game.

The NEX store competes with the player market for your ISK. Even if it only contains vanity items, and even if you never spend a real dollar on it, the ISK->Plex->Au which you spend at the NEX store is ISK not spent on goods and services provided by players as their in-game jobs.
That is different for PLEX. When you sell a PLEX for ISK and spend that on the market, maybe as an individual you are "paying to win." But in that case the win is coming from player generated goods and services. You're contributing demand to the in-game economy, and everybody wins at some level.
Anyhow, I wasn't reading forums when PLEX was introduced, but I imagine it was not done without some of the spirited debate we've seen the last few days. "Free" game time plus some anti-RMT arguments won the day, I guess.

You know what? I can't be bothered being angry at people like you anymore, at least I'll rest easy knowing if CCP actually keeps going through with these ridiculous changes to the game you won't be able to play it either.

Hey Mij sup? This is the original Intruders character if you remember. This is my mining alt of the same era. Is there a way we can contact Bozl1n and get Intruders back?
He is not responding in his EVE regular registered email address I think. I believe he hasn;t dealt with EVE long time ago, even his facebook page is not updated. I hope he is ok. I bet he has been married and that;s why he doesn;t play EVE anymore.
I would appreciate it for any help. Thank you. Send me a PM in game in this character if you have any info on how i can get to him.
Much thanks. |

Seems the only one crying is you. Since every "peasant" in this thread, and hence the only relevant ones, have been quite unwhinelike with their posts.
Also, what do you define as peasants? RL poverty/lack of power of which you would have no knowledge or in game poverty/lack of power... again of which you would have no knowledge unless you knew the person.

Eve online is a business. CCP are here to make money. That is what they care about and rightly so. In an increasingly competitive Market new sources of revenue must be developed. CCP has stated that it expected whiplash from the introduction of NEX and was expecting canceled subs. Do you honestly think they hadn't done the math? LOL. They were prepared for the peasants to leave the game and frankly it will be a better place in game without the whiny lil inbreds. All the leaked mail confirmed was that CCP is out to maximise profits. Shock horror! A business maximising it's profits! Everyone who had not grown up living inside their sister inside a cardboard box already knew this.

That is nonsense, brought to you by idiots, jokers who got some "business degree", managers and people who have no real clue (which all is essentially the same thing).
First of all, as long as they stay in their niche there ARE no competitors and as long as they nurture their product no company will dare to even TRY to get in their market. Slow growth while sticking to your initial niche strategy works in this case, listening to idiots gets you where CCP is now. Having a speciality niche product can be very profitable and worthwhile, as long as you don't hire too much staff and get some idiot in control (ie banks and investors) who goes "I'll be gone in 3 years so if I want to get some extra bonuses I'll think of short term growth, who the fck cares what happens after I leave".
If you try to convert your niche product and company style to please the mass market, THAT is where stuff fcks up (like we see now). EVE is flawed in many ways, it lacks severe polish. The general market that's used to brilliant products like WOW really isn't going to be won over by the crappyness that is EVE, in that respect.
And no, using plex isn't the exact same as non-vanity items for Aurum, read Fearless again as it has a good explanation. Fact is that CCP has had non-vanity for aur on the plan for a while, the current CSM meeting proves this as they're not touching the subject till tomorrow taking a WHOLE DAY for it. People who have a brain and can use logic realised this, only morons (and trolls like the OP but also a moron) said it would be "ok".
