7 month ago price per PLEX is 600 each and at this time it 200mil extra in just half year .

Who is "Al" and why is he hailing PLEX?

i keep seeing post like this "oh plexs cost to much" "its not fair i cant afford to plex my account this month" ect ect.

The simple fact is when you buy a plex from the market to pay your sub fee some else paid real $$$ for it.

eves economy is almost entirely play run and the price of plex is no different its all about supply and demand. so many people want to play for free and not pay sub fees the people who are willing to buy plexs for $$$ and subsidize ur $$$ fee complaining plex prices are to high on the forums is to put it blunt is ridiculous its there asset to "try" and sell at a price there happy with, complaining plex prices are to high on the forums is to put it blunt is ridiculous.

the reason plex prices are this high is because thats how much the avrage plex user is willing to spend if nobody was buying them at this price there would be no demand and the price would fall.

TBH i would be happy paying 1-2 Bil on a plex i can make 100 mil a hour killing npcs not to mention other money making adventures such as PI, playing the market data/relic sites and faction loot

as it currently stands, at 800 mil i need to farm npc's for a total of 8 hours in a month to cover my sub costs not to bad to cover the sub fee i would need to pay otherwise

1-2bil @ 100mil an hour is 10-20 hours work to pay for a subscription. Get a part-time job at McDonals for 5 hours a week. you'll buy a subscription ins 1-2 hours and then walk away with enough cash for another 4 plex. 20 hours a month work and you get the current equivilent of 200 hours hard grind in Eve.

Why don't people understand opportunity cost?!

you say that like it's possible to just magic a few hours overtime out of thin air.

Who is Al Hail, and why do we care how he pays for his subs?

It can't be that hard to justify 2 hours of overtime a month.

I'm implying if you spend 20hours a month feeding an Eve subscription because you can't afford to play it otherwise, you could make that small amount of cash some other way. 2x plex costs $34.99. that means $17.50 per plex, that means 1million is costs less than $0.03. So you're essentially being payed around $2.20 an hour for your eve gains.

I don't know, I play the game for a month, and I end up with enough isk for my needs, including a plex. Why would I want to work 2 hours overtime in this case?

If you inherently get pleasure from grinding isk and that's all you do, then buy Plex. Essentially all your doing is making isk and
spending it to keep your account running to make isk to keep your account running.

It's a cycle, but if you enjoy the status quo (e.g. not saving up for new ships, more toon, etc.) then i suppose it's perfect for you.

Nonono, I play the game. I end up with enough isk by playing. Not the other way around.

Who is Al and why does he hail PLEX?

Edit: I was beaten to this line by like 4 days....

I'll just go back to sleep.

your argument is flawed yes i make isk to spend isk on plex a nasty cycle but the fact i can make all the isk required for the said plex in a few hours leaves the rest of the month to make a profit and lose ships in glorious pvp

TBH if i was going out in t2 ships once or twice a day and getting them blown up then yes i prolly would have to spend real$$$ to sub my account rather than plex it but i play within my means if i cant afford to lose it i dont fly it.

oh and BTW im self employed accountant dont need no extra funds cooking you ya bigmac
