In some other thread, I spotted Tippia making a spelling mistake. And Chribba seems a little more aggressive than usual. I'm female and a much nicer person now! Humanity is changing! The horror ...........

I don't want to have to choose between bacon and EVE because that delicious pork candy is a monkey I just can't shake. Pork candy? What? Also, this post makes it six in a row on the front page.

A single month of subscription is $15 (less in bulk). A PLEX is $20. I'm not saying they should intervene, but it's probably in their best interest than new players can PLEX consistently after a few months. To PLEX consistantly would require a level of effort which for many people stops the game being about doing stuff they enjoy to doing stuff they feel they have to do. If I can pay for my account, I will. PLEX can be useful, but its for suckers mainly I agree. And then they whine about a game they don't even want to play but they stay subbed because it's free and believe they are entitled to have an opinion. And buying PLEX from CCP isn't even worth it.

Oh? How else? insurance, for a start. NPC buy orders are another. Tags and other such drops are the biggest part of them. don't forget incursion rewards? Aren't these bounties? And CONCORD LP doesn't create ISK. LP stores are a sink. "My Favourite Nerdling GÖÑ" - Marsha Mellow

A while later here we are with ship skins and stuff to raise income through plex sales. Isn't it just a subtle way to bring in that micro stuff through the back door? Stay away from my backdoor micro market guy! Nobody really cares as long as this stuff stays away from game mechanics. I'd rather not have it influence the PLEX price, but I guess CCP knows better.

Stay away from my backdoor micro market guy! the difference is, you can get this "micro transaction" stuff, with ingame currency. (or at least, that's how i understood it... i didn't care enough to read too much in to it) with other games, the micro transactions are IRL currencies only... which is why people despise them. No... it's because in most other games you buy things that give you better stats or boosts to something. I agree that people in EVE would cry about things they can't buy with ISK, but there is no indication that it would create a public outcry. It's all just vanity stuff anyway.

That's the price people ha e to pay for the fact that they can buy all this stuff with ISK. Too bad for them. "My Favourite Nerdling GÖÑ" - Marsha Mellow

People who whine and cry that they don't play for free... THAT is the problem. Don't want to pay to play Eve? You think Eve is "lol" worthy as a game? Go find something else to do. The rest of us will enjoy the game, and have a grasp on basic economics, which undertanding apparently fails you. Checked the german forums. There's a miner who sits in rented nullsec space whining on an alt account that he can't PLEX his up to eight accounts anymore, because of the PLEX prices. Oh and, of course, there's an afk cloaker ruining his game. lol People shred him apart. I say good riddance. ################################
