As long as there will be this stupid 1EUR=1USD prices i will be PLEXing my account. My earnings ingame is enought for that. You need to figure it out for yourself how to earn more isk than you can spend per month.

step two: find richest looking guy
step three: back to his place
step four: try to block it out
step five: he falls asleep
step six: you pirate his loots
step seven: pawn shop
step eight: buy plex, proceed to have it taken from you in the same manner in which you acquired it (step four)
step nine: last but not least, head to GD to make the necessary shitpost |

What on earth do you do for a living?
Like others have said, subbing on a yearly basis is the cheapest.

Level 4 agents, R&D data mining, Pi, I only have 4 planets, LP and storyline mission rewards pay enough.
Think of it this way a plex costs around 600 million ISK.
Now divide that by 4 weeks = 150 mil a week you need to earn to make the ISK to buy a plex.
this means if you play 5 days a week and earn 20 million every hour per mission you only need to play 7.5 hours total to make 150 million.
Bonus if you play on weekends or longer then 7.5 hours per week.

I've sold a single WH bookmark for as much as 800 million. I don't even scan for WHs to sell them, it's just a byproduct of scanning for other reasons. And it's funded my account for a few months now.

I buymysubs in 12 month blocks. PLEX is fine if you have spare isk tumbling out your arse, but if you have to stretch for it, you're going to have way more fun if you just drop $130 on a years sub and stop worrying.
seriously, $100 is a few hours work a year. how much time do you have to spend a year earning plex?

I only have to worry about isk to replace my ships buy skill books or funny stuff. That's why I almost never rat, most of my isk comes from PI and selling goodies drop from your ships !

RL trading yields more ISK/hour than EvE trading so I just buy my 5-6 EvE yearly subs plus about 5 other yearly subs for other MMOs.

The problem with paying by annual subscription is that if CCP alter the game in a way with which you are not happy soon after your annual sub renewal, you are stuck paying for a a game you no longer wish to play until the sub period expires.
Yup, I am whinging about the new drone AI again.
I am also annoyed that CCP have turned me into a bitter vet, I never thought it would happen to me.
Still what do I know, I trained Gallente.

For four years I used the subscriptions (mostly with 3 or 6 month runtime), after that I switched to plex but only because the ISK are so abundant that it doesn't relly register as an expense.
I wouldn't buy plexes ingame if I had to grind for ISK - rl money to pay for the game can be earned a lot faster. |

Nah. Its good to be European. At least we dont live in country where 40% of its dwellers believe that earth was created in 7 days and lacks basic scientific knowlege. 
What realy sucks it that SOFTWARE companies rips off non US customers with their 1usd=1eur policy. And whats worse is that they advocate this pollicy that in US there is 1year waranty, while in EU it is 2 years.. What a bull****. We are buying software, not refrigerator or hairdryer. They are making fools from us.

If you're ISK rich enough, buying PLEX with ISK can become viable (it doesn't sound like you're ISK rich to that extent). Nope not at all. I was just curious...it seems like even your hardcore gamers would have to spend some serious time grinding in order to play Eve for an extended time...I am not talking two or three months but say for a year. When I want to PVE I can make about give or take 120-150M an hour, call it an even 200m if I pop my second account out. But it requires a lot of boring work, which is 90% of the problem Eve online has. The PVE sucks. I just pay for my account because I honestly can't be arsed to rat any more than is necessary to keep me in ships and ammo. I'd scam but oops I accidentally put myself into a position of responsibility where I'm not allowed to. Also would you trust a guy named Vagrant? I wouldn't.
Pretty much this, I could afford to pay using isk from ratting but I really can't be arsed to what is akin to blowing your brains out over the keyboard so I just pay by card. EVE sort of the PVE you will save the Samaritans about 20000 calls a year.

Start a mining bot farm like the big nullsec alliance people do.
20 ice mining bots = 20mil/hour*20*23 = 9.2bil/day. Sure, your bots will get banned eventually, but just roll up some new ones at that amount. Based on the news from EVENews24, they're ALL doing it. Why shouldn't you?

Seems to me like your real question isn't what the cheapest way to pay for your sub is at all... but what the easiest way to make ISK is... am I correct? |

I can afford to plex 2 accounts because i have invested my sp to do so. I have multiple PI characters on each account who all live in WH's, I do a lot of invention and i shoot sleepers when the mood strikes me.
If you want to earn isk in your venture gas mining is probably your best bet at the moment. If you mine the 3 digit gases in a wormhole, you can get about 80 mil of gas in your ore hold. Admittedly, finding a C5/C6 wormholes could be difficult for people living in high sec.

I make enough to sustain 2 accounts and fly a few flashy ships passively through my market trading. Sitting in station is not required for small to medium income like that, you can log in once a week or less and still come out ahead.
That said you really need to play a while before these options are apparent.
If you have any further thoughts on something i've posted, or want to ask an unrelated question feel free to contact me by EvE Mail or by private conversation if 'm online.

No. The hardcore gamers just "come into money" magically being null sec pew-pew'ers. No high sec alts involved at all, just CTAs and piracy to make all of their money. No, really: just read all the anti-high sec threads. So many out there that would NEVER deign to set foot in high sec, so it's all gotta come from Goonie payroll and mining their own tech moons in null. Where else could they POSSIBLY pay for game time from???
I hope you realize that people farm sites in null sec to. Null sec sites are much better for grinding isk compared to their high-sec counter parts. There are many ways people in null sec make their money. But yes granted.... a lot of them would use high sec alts to do something. |

Most people who can't plex within a few days pay the monthly thing.
Though personally it's a yearly sub for me, save around 50$ with that and I don't have to dump 600m into the trash every month.
