Am i completely missing something here, or are we being ripped off by CCP? Why the hell would anyone buy plex.

PLEX include the activation price of new accounts. ($5)

Subs are cheaper so they get you on a reoccurring plan instead of a once off.

A few on many reasons.

You're not being ripped off. Nobody is trying to hide the fact that buying PLEX directly is a little more expensive than buying a GTC and converting it to PLEX. It's just a matter of convenience.

If you would rather save money, buy the PLEX the roundabout way through a GTC dealer.

A LITTLE more expensive? its nearly double! wheres the justification in that. and yes people are getting ripped off.

It's not nearly the double for one. A per-month subscription sets you back $15; a per-month PLEX sets you back $17.5 GÇö that's GàÖ more, not twice as much.

And no, no-one is getting ripped off. You are entirely free to choose whatever payment scheme and related cost you want, including letting other people pay for you. If you do not have the faith (or funds) to pay a year at a time, you pick a less trusting and more costly option. If you intend to pay for someone else, there's no telling whether you'll do the same the next month or not, so you pay a bit more than the more stable and long-term option of a subscription.

No, you're not getting ripped off. PLEX gives you options, it doesn't mean you have to use it to sub your account. If I get a decent amount of gaming time I can buy my game time with isk, if I don't I can sell a PLEX and get some isk. Don't see what the problem is.

Ok, whats this then.

where are you getting those prices from? I am not in the States i am in the UK

We pay -ú16.99 for a plex thats $28 ! so are you telling me now that in the states your only paying $17.50???!!! So then we are getting ripped off even more in the UK then!

So before you post thingk where i am in the world rather than your own little area please.

WHAT OPTIONS? over and above? Seriously what?

for a person that wants to buy a plex just for game time its -ú7 more than just buying it direct? WHY!!!!!?????? just tell me that for god sake.

And based on tippias post, are we being ripped off in the UK then? if you are only paying $2.50 dollars more and we are paying much much more in the UK

It's a clear indication, that while the PLEX cost for Brits is normal their sub price is way below average. Therefore the obvious fair way to fix things and address the OP's issue is to raise the normal subscription cost for the brits to around 12.50 -ú/month.

Why the hell would anyone buy plex.

Why are we in the UK paying far far more for...

are you stupid seriously? do you have Aspergers or some kind of autism?

learn to read. Just make an account on the US website and buy them off that.

Grow up and stop throwing childish "What are you, autistic" insults over the internet.

You're playing a game about virtual spaceships.

learn to read? it was just a picture. go away

also this does not answer the question of why in the UK we are paying more. so get lost.

For the exact same reason that a greasy microwaved bacon bap on a train costs about -ú6, or a Pint costing twice as much as a normal pub when at an event. People pay for convenience (in this case, RM -> ISK) and there is nothing wrong with it. CCP is giving you a choice of ways to sub your account. They are a business after all.

If you could only use plex to renew your subscription, then I think your argument would have more substance, but as it stands, it seems like you are not realizing the simple truth, that you do not have to buy plex, so why get so angry about their prices?

Look at my previous post.

If you don't like CCP's business model, then please, do us all a favour and quit.

again why is it so much more for plex in the UK than in US? either answer question or dont bother. seriously dont.

jesus you guys simply dont get it. i didnt realise it would be so difficult.

Looks like a bad choice of retailer.

Its not the same at all as a bap for god sake lol. its a virtual item. there is no convienence its the exact same process to purchase a plex than it is to purchase a 30 day renewal. no quicker no easier an certainly no more benefit.

jesus you guys simply dont get it. i didnt realise it would be so difficult. but hey its eve players what more can i expect than a bunch of apes

Who cares why stuff costs more or less in another country. If it bothers you that much, move to America. Or cancel your sub, or preferably both.

Hey now. There's no need to wish that much ill on the poor Americans.
