So today i saw the ad for 10% off plexes in the launcher and went to have a look. The prices do make me wonder a bit though.
Current per plex prices if you buy bulk: 01 = 17.96 -ú 02 = 15,75 -ú 06 = 15,74 -ú 12 = 15,75 -ú 28 = 15,75 -ú
So there's no discount on bulk except the single plex where you get shafted. And bear in mind these are the discounted prices (17.33-ú usual price (or 20-ú for a single lol)).
Why would i pay 15.75-ú when i instead could buddy invite a new account, sub it for 15-ú and get a PLEX as reward? Then i'd also have a 51 days paid account for whatever.
(Other option is to vpn proxy and get those 14,35-ú russian plexes) |

If you really want something to get angry about - forget the whole "I deserve a bulk discount" price and think about the fact that CCP doesn't really convert those prices based on what currency you are using.
Meaning, you pay over ***50% MORE*** per plex at any volume than someone in, say, Canada pays for the same quantity of plex.
Thoroughly angry/disgusted? Well it isn't going to change, so HTFU and STFU |

1. Buy PLEX using dollarydoos or loonies. 2. Sell for freedom bucks or filthy euros. 3. Profit.
Wait. Why am I not doing this?

Why buy Plex with RL money to prolonging an account? Either subscribe (thats cheaper on RL Money) or buy it with ISK from other people. Buying it with cash yourself to keep an account running is a loosing game. |

Well it HAS been a while since we had a plex thread so I guess I gotta let this one slide...
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.
Had to end sometime.

Since you can use in-game money to purchase the game play time, it's all a function of real time in game vs. not having time to play.
Those of us with limited play time just have to pay the piper and I'm on an annual subscription so that's the cheapest way regardless.
I am going to purchase a couple of PLEX just to have some fun money. I'm having more fun goofing off with the game and not worrying about ISK profit, so isn't that what I put in 40 hours of work a week for? Roof over the head, great internet connection, and wasting what little free time I have on EVE?

Exactly... I compare this to buying a 2 liter soda at a grocery store for $1.50 or getting it from a gas station for $2.25.
Why would I want to extend my game time 30 days by paying more for a "sellable" in-game item when I can earn that money with my $15/mo?
You go an look at the isk sellers in chat that randomly appear for 2bil isk for $25 (2 PLEX worth) and you wonder why CCP holds true to their prices when they create the currency and create the market....
Oh well, I am fine with grinding for my extensions, PLEX etc. I did see PLEX in Jita for 820mil for a good week though which was a killer deal. I bought 2 before they jumped back up to 960. |

It may be some of these concepts are too adult for some people to manage. Wouldn't be the first. Certainly won't be the last.

Wtf would even happen if someone tried running there credit card Info through a proxy vpn in a foriegn country? Lol
Would it even be recognized as valid? And if it was what happens when my credit card company sees a charge for 10 rupees instead of dollars placed on the other side of the planet?
I have no interest in doing this im jist curioise since it was mentioned. Its bad enough that i get a international commerce fee or whatever from my bank when my subscription gets charged in USD because CCP is in Iceland. At least i used to. I think they might have fixed that i need to check. |

Nope.
Tax accounts neither for the vastly different prices in plex depending on what country you live in, nor for the fact that plex costs exactly the same price in every single region it is sold it - just the currency symbol changes.
The correct answer, however, can indeed be summed up in 1 word:
