I'm sure all of us are space rich but

Considering there are multiple ways to make over 500mill a day playing casually, no, only the lazy get poorer.

Much like most of real life.

The price of plex is becoming too high i have had to unsub my miners as its not worth it i had them to make isk but with the increase of isk price for plex they barely pay for themselves and why would i spend so much time grinding just to have the accounts for show they dont provide me anything anymore just enough isk to buy the plex to keep that account going they make me no profit anymore...

i dont see the point in putting the little time i have into mining to get nothing out of it....except another month of grinding to get the same result.... i believe that is called insanity

I gotta take a hit of that Plex every 30 days or else I'm totally wrecked until I get some, you know how it is?

Maybe you still live at home with your parents?

but when i have to pay out for my house, my heating bills, water bills, dog food, my car insurance, fuel for the car, food for myself, the internet bills, tv license phone bill, mobile phone bill, satalite tv bills , gym membership as well as being able to put some to one side for savings etc its a nice relief to be able to pay with plex as saving cash is a priority for some people now if i payed with real money for 5 accounts thats another -ú600 a year that to be honest isnt really cheap for a game it becomes quite difficult to pay with real money,

so no not everyone is in a postition to go "splashing cash" on the game maybe 1 account might be feasable to pay with money but not anything more.

also not sure but if you crawl out of your hole you might find its not just a matter of deciding to stop being poor IRL.

1 account Eve = 1 account in WoT + 1 account in LoL + 1 account in (random game name) = more fun then EVE at these plex prices...

I understand that Plex doesn't change the fun level of Eve... but what does it say about Eve that players would rather play free games than this one?

I said it before, I will say it again, and you will undoubtedly white-knight to the bitter end. Many players are willing to play Eve when it is free to them through Plex. Just because it is worth playing doesn't mean it is worth paying for to these players.

Also, who the hell is stupid enough to start grading fun-factor to PLEX or prices anyway? Specially for a game like EVE?

You'd rather see it die... how noble your cause.

What is it again that CCP has done since 2009 to "attain" new players? Was it all that new shinny content they added like two iterations of Sov and ship skins?

My point had nothing to do with plex actually. It was more about Eve. CCP needs to make Eve beat free to play games, and if you think players are the problem and not CCP, then we can stop this discussion right now and watch the water drain to the bottom of the bowl together.

Hello,

Plex prices will not stop any time soon. Their will be slowly down point but it wont be for while. For these who pay for the game their will be no problems. But for theses who play the game for free well this will be a dying trend soon. enjoy what time left you have left in the game. " pay up or quit ". No player will want to play the game for 80+ hours a week to pay 4b month per account unless you got hours to place in the game which most don't. enjoy what time you have left.. may plex cards hit 10b :))

It's getting pretty ridiculous... Can't even plex my main account, CTA's, hostiles in local, fleets etc. take lots of game time and doing this+ grinding 1b+ isk is too much.

I used to have 2 accounts and started as annual subscription for both. After a couple of years I was making enough isk via casual mission running that I switched 1 account to be payed via plex. This was when plex was under 500 million. When it went above that I switched back to subscription.

Then real life intervened and I stopped playing for the past 2 and a half years. Just re-subbed and the first thing I did was checked the plex price in game. Wow it was at 1.2 billion, so for me its back to subscription, will re-sub the 2nd account one I get used to the all the new changes.

I am not from a developed country, but I can still afford to pay subscription. This may not be true for some guys. For them if they truly want play this game without subscription then at least do some research and find the most efficient way to make isk to get your plex. A level 4 mission runner can still make 50 to 100 million / hour within the confines of high security, which is still more than enough to get your plex to play the game without real money. Of course you spend extra time, but you will have to make that trade off.

I don't think that CCP should intervene but it would be really interesting if CCP released how many accounts are actively plexed. If the number is too low that can lead to quick collapse of current plex market.

PLEX is not a "privilege". Its a commodity that is bought into the universal game world with RLM.
Ingame, it is acquired from them with ingame money earned rightfully from the game environment.

There is nothing "privileged" about any of that.

It is kinda related to the "just pay a sub as you earn more in an hour than a months sub costs" comments you get all the time from Americans and Central Europeans because in many many parts of the world that is simply not true at all.

Is that an offer of your stuff? Please contract it to me at the station of your choice.
