Before the end of the week, I will have renewed my sub with my credit card.
I was paying with plex / gtc for the last what? 4 or 5 years? I don't really remember.
people that manipulate plex / gtc price won, at least this is what I think
I will take the 131$ special for a year.
people that manipulate the price don't want ccp to get the 200$ for 13 plex or whatever it is.
so ccp will lose 69$ from me.
someone won, someone lost
i'm between the two. |

Oh no someone has caught on to the dark and destructive underbelly the jita protests brought. I also heard that big market players plan on buying up all the new T3 BC at launch so players cant fly them for months, players hate it and start unsubscribing.

wow, thats really funny
because your decision to pay coupled with my not giving a crap that you are now paying will have no effect on my intention to purchase PLEX if the mood might strike me, or any one else who wants to plex it up during this time of giddy high plex prices.
so guess what, CCP wins
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Also heard a rumor goons gave alot of isk to BP right before the oil spill.
They are also why elevator music is played instead of cool music as you go up and down buildings. They are the reason the Big MAc is full of salt and saturated fat. Why it took a few years to free the slaves. And are also against net neutriality. |

So true... Hey everyone! Do you want to spend 3-4 days grinding ISK to play the game? :D or do you want to work one extra hour one day and have a sub + 500m ISK for yourself to buy all the pretty Feroxes you want? Easy peasy choice!

Since there is no "real gain"in obtaining large ammount of isk for cash they won nothing.
In the end they will have to drop the prices. Current prices are up, because of time for PLEX, 5-day re-activation etc. so those people who unsubbed and see that winter expansion gonna be great have to actually go through more expenses, ultimately they will buy it with cash, and the ones who pushing it up will drop it down to norm 350mil +/- which is somewhat normal price for anyone who dont have botting army, incursions yeah yeah, never done them, heard there are good ISK in it, however what i get the isk coming from LP change and currently faction things are near as cheap as T1 so not an great income afterwards. You can actually have two navy thrones for one PLEX which is sick. And the concord named cap modules nobody wants anymore since everybody gets them and gets the spare.
Nobody wins, nobody loses. PLEX on market are already payed for so even if the one who owns them decide to trash them, only CCP will get happier. Since they no longer have to provide service for it. |

well unless you concidering making isk as the goal of your game, then making ISK for PLEX is indeed extra work time. Badly payed i may add. |

I think i understand that.
I just wanted to point out that the price of PLEX got actually nothing to do with that. Because if it did than every player made "object" would raise. |

thats actually interesting tin-foilery there....
If the PLEXes rise beyond the point of botting army survivability / cost effectivness then...
However sometimes even good cause doesnt go well with collateral damage caused.
It would be great without bots "maybe, since i dont care really" however only few thousands of active people will eventually remain.

Useful alt is useful.
Anyway, I think you've actually done yourself a favor. Instead of grinding ISK to pay for your PLEX, now you can be spend that time actually doing things you enjoy in the game... Like actually, well, I dunno - PLAY?
Right off the bat $131 seems like a lot but it's not - especially if you're committing a good portion of time to playing EVE. It's your entertainment. How much do you spend on a couple beers + food during a night out with friends? Add that up over a year; it's a lot. Obviously, those with ludicrous amounts of ISK will always pay with PLEX. Otherwise, I'd HANDS DOWN rather pay to subscribe than grinding to then be able to play a game that I consider FUN. |

We need quantitative easing bro! No wait .. Anyway yeah, I have so far not felt an overpowering urge to reach for the plastic. Once the isk runs out, I'll be joining the 'see what they do, not what they say' crowd. Altho ccp could release an amazing patch and I'd still be 'out' of the mindset and probably not resub. |

I can sell Nit Shampoo at a volume discount in Jita if you'd like to negotiate a bulk deal. That is if you want to stop picking them.
So for somebody only earning double the minimum wage it's a couple of hours of work to afford a PLEX + subscription. Spending $50 a month on a hobby that provides how many hours of entertainment? What about a $100?
The cost/benefit ratio is just too extreme to even compute. And if you can't afford it; or you're unwilling to pay for it - well - go without. It's not like it's a life-saving medical treatment or food on the table. It's a video game and some virtual currency.
