Mxxpower Equity Nuclear 3	Posted - 2014.04.12 21:42:00 - [31] - Quote Seeing the price go up 200 million in 1 year has made it easier for me to quit this game permanently. To the people that make the argument it is easier to pay the 15 or 20 bucks to re-sub your account I agree, but no one who plays this game for any length of time has only one account. I am fairly casual, and have several accounts myself. The skill system design requires alts of one sort or another. This game in no way can justify my paying $60 a month to keep my subs active, and in all honesty, EVE should be a free to play game with perks for paying a sub. Before PLEX was introduced, EVE was going under. If PLEX price becomes unaffordable it will happen again. The ability to for the average player to pay for game time by actively playing the game is what saved EVE.

Your argument seems to be that they should get less ISK for their money because you want to play for free more easily. Seeing the trade like this is wrong. What are people actually trading is time (quantifiable) and fun (subjective). For me is time effective and less boring to sell PLEX rather than doing PVE to get ISK.

TigerXtrm Black Thorne Corporation Black Thorne Alliance 600	Posted - 2014.04.12 22:19:00 - [38] - Quote It's interesting to see how, ever since the introduction of PLEX, people have felt entitled to be able to pay for game time with in-game currency, but not be subjected to the supply/demand laws within that same game. Pay the price or pay for your account with real money. Complaining that something is expensive has never made it cheaper. Ever. My YouTube Channel - EVE Tutorials & other game related things!

We 're taking fantasy sandwiches right out of the mouths of those poor avatars because we won't buy their PLEX. You are right of course, plex should be at least 4 billion isk to keep the poor avatars fed. it would be great for business for about a month.

They do not set prices on plex and that their main method of operation is to detect and punish those who engage in RMT activity. as for mxx I think you should stop.

Praise the Yeti Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 27	Posted - 2014.04.13 00:12:00 - [49] - Quote CCP are to blame for the plex price increases. Since incursions were released they have kept going up in price. Incursions give the casual and / or lower sp player the ability to make isk to consider plex instead of a paying sub at no real risk where as before they probably would have played and payed subscription. When plex prices increase as they have done, incursion runners give or take even for the casual ones just whimsy off a few extra hours a month to compensate. Longer term this will hurt the wider eve, but if ccp want to appease the greedy incursion farmers in the short term absent mind of the wider picture, then so be it.

Hasikan Miallok Republic University Minmatar Republic 568	Posted - 2014.04.13 00:22:00 - [51] - Quote Incursion runners seem to be turning into the new "communist under the bed" or "terrorist threat" of EVE. I seriously doubt there are enough Incursion people PLEXing extra accounts to suddenly put PLEX prices up 10% game wide in a month. There are not enough people running incursions nor do they have a need for 20 accounts. Rationally there has been an increase in demand which has been exaggerated by some extreme speculation. There are people around claiming they are currently buying huge numbers of PLEX to resell when prices hit a billion.

I agree. Everything about incursions sounds like afk mining for high SP players. This activity needs to be changed to allow more content and less farming like it is. The same goes for FW plex farming. /Fÿ¡ Now that you are campers you will have more parties and no more sad lonely bubbles.

The same goes for FW plex farming. /Fÿ¡ Not really high SP, its not like you need to bring a carrier or super. You could probably get into an incursion fleet with a 6 month skilled logi toon I suspect. It does need a good ship though, but selling a PLEX or two can achieve that. Its actually more like mission running with the complication of fleet ops and competing fleets. If anything is ISK farming its level IV missions, my mission alt has rescued a crazy number of Damsel's for the SOE and flying a cheap T2 fitted Domi averages about 50-60 mill an hour blitzing and abandoning all except known high value loot drops (AE Silo, named ships etc) .
