I 100% disagree. Eve, like any MMO, is a single product, the service and the client go hand-in-hand, you can't have one without the other. You pay a monthly fee for the service, that fee includes updates to the client.
If you don't like the fact that some people play for free, it isn't a big deal. Players who PLEX their accounts don't cost CCP anything. They are buying the PLEX from someone else who paid real world money, so it is a 1 for 1. PLEX typically cost more than a month of service, so CCP actually makes a little extra. |

But then you have new players with a high turnover ratio paying the bills. To me this would give CCP greater revenue while providing larger content to its players. More content is a win win for everyone.
This isn't the way it works. Those PLEX on the market are there because real players bought them and put them there. |

You didn't say "decent percentage" in your OP now did you? You said a majority, which means more than 50%.
lol just wow
He is right, a "decent percentage" could easily be 25% or less. Either way, what is your point? Do you feel like the game is somehow hurt buy people who play for free? CCP makes money from those PLEX, so they are not really playing for free, they are playing because they traded with another person who is paying double. |

Yes I do. Why on Earth would it be any other way? Way would CCP add PLEX to the market? Doing so would take money right out of their pocket!!
I have often wondered the opposite, if every PLEX buy order on the market is real. CCP buying PLEX off the market would basically be like free money for them! If the value of a PLEX ever goes much below 500 mil I have no doubt in my mind that they do this. |
