You do realize that it doesn't matter to ccp if you play via plex, or by paying for a subscription right?
It may seem free to those using plex, but ccp makes money regardlress of how one maintains their subscription. The plex that people purchase in-game has alreeady been paid for in real world money by SOMEBODY when the plex was initially purchased.
CCP wanting people who pay with plex to leave the game would be the exact same thing as accusing them of wanting paying subscriberrs to go away too. |

Whenever I see these sort of threads I can only assume that the OP must think that CCP seeds the market with PLEX and not that you are buying it from players who paid real world money for it.
In fact, CCP stands to make a LARGER profit with people paying with PLEX than they would for a normal subscription. This is due to the fact that PLEX can now be destroyed like any other item.
So, say you buy a PLEX on the market to pay for your monthly sub. Then for some reason you decide to undock with it in your cargo hold and get ganked. If the PLEX is destroyed then you may very well need to redock and buy yet ANOTHER one. The PLEX that you are purchasing is from another player who paid for it with real world money. And since your first one was destroyed, then you are buying yet another that was also paid for with real world money. Demand spikes when more are destroyed, and people continue buying them for real money and selling them for ISK.

No.. It doesn't and that's where the OP seems to be a bit confused.
Not that it matters, since in his first post he said he won't bother reading any replies unless they are from a DEV or GM. |

The main problem with this thread starts right in the title.
The OP Is actually suggesting that CCP doesn't want people paying via PLEX and want's them out of EVE.
It's difficult to take the rest of the argument very seriously until he first realizes that this isn't the case. CCP makes just as much money off PLEX accounts as they do with regular paid subscriptions. CCP even stands to make MORE MONEY off of PLEX accounts by the simple fact that PLEX can now be destroyed, and must be replaced by those who intended to use the ones that were destroyed. |

You have to be kidding me....
You haven't received a reply because you are presenting your argument without even the slightest understanding of PLEX, or the announced changes to PI.
And since you said right off the bat that you wont read any replies from anybody but a dev or GM, you are ignoring the help of others as they waste their time trying to be helpful and attempt to increase your understanding of this misinformed argument. |

And I can usually troll anything.
Yes, and hes been bumping this thread since the 22nd of last month now. And on top of that doesn't even bother to read anything people post to help him understand any of it.
Its becoming an eyesore. |
