Plexing does not count twords being subscribed?

I'm going to be cut out of the rewards because I'm clever enuff to not have to pay for my account?

I mean. Ccp got their money either way. So I don't think it's right to not include us who plex.

You're right of course, maybe Darth isn't as clever as he thinks.

However, in defense of PLEXing, sure you can do a sub wirth of cash in 16 minutes of working, but can you do it while at home, butt naked, drunk off of cheap malt liquor while listening to Death Metal?

If the answer is yes, please PM me an application to your place of work, I'm interested

I see a plex economics understanding fail in some of the peeps here.

Ill say it one last time.

people who subscribe and people who plex their account both generate income for ccp.

if no one plexed their account, then the plex would be worthless (isk value) in game, and no one would buy the damn things to sell on market.

therefore, both parties are generating revenue for ccp. both parties should, and seem to, be getting the rewards for their company loyalty.

the reward for those who buy plex to sell, is instant cash in eve without having to grind for it.

sure, I get to play the game without paying for it, but my actions drive a demand for a product only obtainable with real money.


But I digress. the whole point of this topic, is to ask ccp to be more clear on what subscription methods qualify for the rewards to be given out on the November update.

And yet, he isn't wrong.

In terms of specifics since it seems beyond your level of reasoning to be able to work it out yourself:

Player A: subscribed + buys PLEX
Player B: grinds time and buys PLEX from player A for ISK

CCP income (based on month-by-month subscription and 1 PLEX putchase):

Player A Subscription: $14.95
Player A PLEX purchase: $19.95

Total income: $34.90

alternative:

Player A: subscribed
Player B: subscribed


CCP income (using month-by-month subscription for both players):

Player A Subscription: $14.95
Player B Subscription: $14.95

Total income: $29.90

Both forms of play represent revenue to CCP.

I think you might have missed the OPs point all together and I didn't measure cost in terms of dollars.

The OP made a point about revenue for CCP and you asked for specifics.

The philosophy around the best way to pay for the game is a totally different and all together off topic issue to this thread, which is about the rewards for November.

This is all well and good if you have access to an unlimited supply of working hours. If you can play the game and enjoy it in your spare time and also earn enough ISK to plex your account, why would you choose to pay money that you can spend on something else to pay for gametime that you can accrue in your normal playtime?

Also my record day was over 40b in profit . Pays for a lot of gametime.
