This alone would most certainly eliminate plex farmers, but it would also eliminate the fresh blood Crosi (I believe) was talking about.
I have better sources of ISK now (trade/industry alts), but as a 1-month old single-account player, I wouldn't have been able to enthusiastically throw 120 frigate/dessy losses into FW PVP without plexing with Gallente in Tier 2.

Tbh, I can't fully disagree with this, even though I would like to have timer rollbacks and for some reason I enjoy posting about it often.  |

Yup, it's even a double ISK sink if you consider transaction taxes on the sale of LP store items.
Effect of FW LPs is to take ISK from missioners/ratters/incursioners/wormholers* that enjoy faction gear, destroy some of it, and transfer the rest to the militiamen (proud freedom fighters and farmers alike).
It basically makes the rest of the playerbase work for us! 
*Because blue books
This for a handy reference on ISK fawcets and sinks. |

In fact all isk is either created from sone sort of pve - that is the foundation of all eve economy. All pve is nothing put a players game time - usually wastest on some form of grinding and boring activity. Maybe eve can grow in a way that pve would be based on players interaction.
Eve is - historically, the second generation of ultima online - we are wittnesses and actors alike in a historical game development process.
The other source of isk is plex.
So isk is a mixed currency of players game time and plex - so real money. Money itself also has no value on itself today and is only a trade tool, that is completly virtual today.
With some fw missions and conversion of lp to isk you can easily made insane amounts of isk - many players use their isk to plex their toons.
Missioins create insane amounts of lp - so lp is a currency of its own, the only differnce is that lp can only be traded to ccp and not other players.
There is no sink of currency in an economy - there is only transformation.
BTW, PLEX isn't a source of ISK either, it's an asset that players are willing to give up some of thier ISK for.
If everybody subbed their accounts (as I chose to do) PLEX would be worth exaclty zero ISK. |
