This is hypothetical but i think serious question.
I know CCP are pushing plex quite alot. However they must be surely losing quite a lot of cash, by allowing players to basically play for free.
Would you be happy that CCP stopped doing this, and you actually had to pay for your subs? As long as CCP used that money to develop EVE even more? More FiS more WIs more what ever other acronyms you can put in.
Do you think this could actually have also a negative effect by people unsubbing? However why would this matter as they are not paying for gameplay anyway?
if they did unsub how much would the player count drop?, or perhaps it wouldnt and CCP get lot more income to develop the game?
I mean for instance all the ISK moongold gives, that could pay for free play for hundreds of players, that would normally pay the monthly fee.
Have you thought about this CCP? Are you missing out on potentially alot of income?
oh and personally if it made the game a ton better, quicker I wouldnt mind. |

Once again; PLEX is purchased for real life money. PLEX is in effect one player paying for another's account, in return for services (giving ISK). Therefore CCP does not lose any money because of it.
Errmm no its not, if you mine or rat or do anything that makes isk you can buy a plex, hence free game play |

So if no players bought plex to sell, they would be none on the market? |

Your sub isn't free, but you are playing for free (in the accounting sense of the word) because someone traded you a cash bought sub for your ISK.
So plex are not seeded? If no one bought them to sell them, they would be no plex on the market? |

1 plex = $18, GTC $36
1. Three peope pay to play CCP makes $45
2. One person pays to play, and two people plex to play CCP makes $51
3. Profit
If you still don't get it, the first person pays monthly subscription $15 and bought a GTC $36. He just spent $51 for 3 people to play.
Dude i get that, relax  I 'wrongly' assumed plex was seeded, not sure why but thats all, nothing more... |
