Making 15 bucks really isn't that hard. I find it amusing that you talk about what you're ''willing'' to pay as if paying ISK to play a game somehow took money from your mortage payment. If you're spending more than 1.5 hours grinding to pay for a PLEX in ISK, you're actually paying more than 15$ per month to play EVE.

Thanks a lot for the replys peeps, its really interesting to hear other peoples views about it, i mean back in the day a 30day time card would cost 98mil.. now its aproaching 500mil lol.... Azure you raised a good point, the moment ccp steps in for one thing, then why stop there? your 100% right and i didn't think about that part of it, be naive of me.

well do any of you think their grossly overpriced? or do you think its normal, just the way the game works? do you think its OKAY to pay that sort of isk for plex card?

450mil is definitely doable in a month, never said it wasn't, but just because we can make that a month, does that really mean its still okay to charge that? i remember seeing simular threads when the prices went up to 350 mil or so, for me though 450mil is the border point i just simply wont cross myself, if i cant scrounge up $15 a month for a game i rarely play as it is right now, as Dinsdale pointed out, i'll just find another game to play, but i do wonder just how many others out there think along the same lines i do, i've been playing this game for 6/7 years now and some things in the game especialyl what happened over the summer is just getting rediculas for 450mil a month

... does that really mean its still okay to charge that?

Currently I myself, is playing about 4 hrs a week, overall......

Yeah plex is a privilage, sorta, CCP made the item to get the more revenue per month, so its not really, its a game mechanic now even if you just use it for the AUR store.

With plex cards hitting 450mil now, its beyond what i'm personally willing to pay for one now, just curious what some other people think about this situation. With the so called "expansion" comming there is still no excuse in my book for such a recidulas price increase from a month ago when everyone was about to rage quit !! and all of a sudden, "we're focusing more on space" announcment and all is forgiven? Considering CCP said that they were going to monitor the prices of plex cards so that WHATS happening WOULDN'T happen, makes me believe in them less a bit now.

But what do people think about the ever rising of plex cards, when the game time you get from one stays the same?

yeah thats true to a point i suppose, but is it really CCP thats killing the player base then in that case? because at the current market prices, I just dont see how people could really afford multiple accounts anymore as for a lot of people, im sure they would only just about break even at these pricing. So is it really CCP, or is the player base killing the player base because of this?

And your missing my point, CCP were supposed to be "monitoring" the plex pricing because of the whole deal with AUR and worried about a massive inflation with pricing. Going up nearly 70mil in under 2 months is a major inflation to me

Yes. The privilege part that you don't understand is this:

CCP never said that every player should be able to pay for his game time using ISK/PLEX.

If you're only not E-rich enough to play on PLEX all the time... it's your problem.

and i would prefer to hear thoughts from people that perhaps dont have billions and billions of isk in their wallets and perhaps dont even have TIME to get isk together because their so busy fighting in 0.0 where their loosing ships and dont have time to go ratting, go run some complex's or incursion sites.

Dude

You do know you can pay for this game with your credit card? You don't need to grind.

I don't have time to grind atm, so I sub my accounts and buy a handful of plexes to keep them in ships.

Problem solved.

Thats right it would be my problem, but your argument is like saying peoples IBIS is a privilege because CCP doesn't force you to fly it, coz you can fly in a pod, and thats just rediculas, its a game mechanic, a game item, just like everything else in the game is, its not a privilege like you think it is, your comment is silly, and inaccurate.

People are get WAAAAAAY off track, i know all about supply vs demand, people will either pay current prices, or not simple as that!!! I KNOW THAT.... thats not what i asked, i want to know whats peoples limit is before they just simply say "NO" to plex... its not rocket science, its the most SIMPLIST of questions not a bitching match. If you think their just fine then say THAT, dont come in here suggesting im just a poor noob who cant afford the 450mil OR $15 a month, because i can, its a choice that I personally make, I just wondered what the "majority" of the community thought would be simply too high price for a plex and perhaps i should have worded my original post better but hopefully this sorts the crap out from what ppl are posting in here.

THIS IS NOT A CRY thread.... its a simple how much will you pay!!!! before you wont pay thread. and i would prefer to hear thoughts from people that perhaps dont have billions and billions of isk in their wallets and perhaps dont even have TIME to get isk together because their so busy fighting in 0.0 where their loosing ships and dont have time to go ratting, go run some complex's or incursion sites.

THATS what i want to hear... a proper fking answer... so you dont worry about plex cards at all then?

450mil is definitely doable in a month, never said it wasn't, but just because we can make that a month, does that really mean its still okay to charge that?

Yes. In fact, it would be downright dishonest to charge anything less.

CCP Does not create Plex

wrong
CCP does indeed create plex, plex is created when you convert a GTC into plex

nah. its the hamsters that do that.

What the hell is the point of this thread? If you really wanted to find out what people were willing to pay for PLEX, you would go into EVE, look at the price history for PLEX, and see the volume bought at that price. Simple and easy. The price will continue to go up so long as either demand increases or supply decreases, right now it appears that demand is increasing, so it is what it is. CCP said they would be monitoring PLEX not to set a price ceiling, but to make sure that it doesn't drastically affect the in game market. The market still working? CCP is happy. You don't want to pay for PLEX? Don't. Simple as that.

plex is the reason ccp had to lay off people. To many people playing the game for free so ccp raised the prices. This causes people to unsub because they cant afford it also makes people buy plex to sell for the iskies. Yep i just figured it all out.
