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. |

Sorry, for the harsh answer, but I think it is justified.
Funny wording. You think us who subscribe, are not clever enough to plex? we are though, we just chose not to. Lets be honest it does not require that much to get the ~1bill a month. That does not require cleverness but just that you have time to grind, so get over yourself. CCP makes many events rewarding those with time to grind.
Now you are annoyed that they want to reward to players who are loyal, but might not have the time to grind. With all due respect, you sound like a spoiled brat, sir. Like you playing EVE without paying is not reward enough in itself? Entitlement removes the illusion of the very trait you claim to have, cleverness. I am fine with CCP rewarding all their player types. You don't see me ***** moan about the grindy events, how unfair it is to the people with no time, and they should make the reward available to me. In life you don't everything, now would be a good time to learn to deal with this.

Clever, because I don't grind.
I never ment to offend the subscribers, however my my plexing generates the same revenue for the company. So I do feel equally entitled to the reward |

Just a heads up, using words like clever about yourself, can make you look arrogant, and modify the tone of the responses yout get.
Don't turn a nice gesture from CCP wanting to reward a subscribers (Which many games do tbh.) into something ugly just because you don't get it. That is selfish. You know one can enjoy CCP doing something for the community without being part of it, right? (Like I have done, with the previous events. I was happy that the little PVE bears got something to enjoy the game with, even if did not apply to me). You should try it, being happy for someone else, it is a nice fuzzy feeling. Don't pee on everyones parade, it is not a colour that suits you.

After reading the email, I think you probably overreact. It does not say, plexed accounts are not included specifically, so I think it actually means active accounts, even if they wrote subsription (which plexes also kinda are). You will get your stuff too. But thx for exposing yourself as a petty person.
Edit: just went to read more page, and indeed it looks like you are right. I am stil fine with this though.

Which was my entire point.
Though I was not neutral in my questioning. I wanted to show my stance on the subject as well
And I don't see my point as petty
I too was happy with the pve awards. Gave something to do to many. But I did t have time to do it either.
In that case, you grind for x time and get y reward.
In the case of the subscriber rewards, Ccp basically wants x money for y accounts
My plex for my accounts is equal revenue for Ccp to someone who has subscribed for that time Both the subscriber and the plexer meet the win condition. Both should be rewarded. |

No, the guy who bought the PLEX should be rewarded then, not you. CCP wants to reward paying customers, you are not that, no matter what mental gymnastics you do. You are just playing the game, making an insensitive for people to buy PLEX. The market exist so there is no reason to reward people buying PLEX. With the introduction of alpha clones it also make sense they want as many subscribers as possible, as the general amount of plexers might drop. So: you do not create revenue, the guy buying the PLEX does. So stop trying to ruining it for the people who actually had to put up some money. No hands- no cookies, just like it should be in a cuttthroat world.

CCP and I both agree that is not worth a reward being a plex sink. So live with it. You did not loose RL money and does not get the reward. This should not be new to you, as the whole world runs like this.

OP is an Alpha. OP will be the first Alpha to plex. OP is the mass or in other words a pleb.
Plebs should know their place. Their place is under the Subscribers\People that pay with real money. Their only role in the game is being the content for Subscribers.

No Racism vs Plebs, they are adorable but sometimes they start to riot\cry claiming the same rights as their masters and need to be tamed

I think if an equality is not drawn between plexers and subscribers, because rather you are too shortsighted to realize it or not, both generate the same revenue, then we will start to see a major downturn in the plex market. |

EVE Online Account Management wrote: Game time ItGÇÖs common in MMOs for some players to end up with more cash on their characters than they know what to do with. In EVE Online, you can turn that extra ISK into 30 days of game time by purchasing PLEX from other players on the EVE market. PLEX can be found in the market's "Trade Goods" section.
To convert your PLEX into game time, right click the PLEX while it is in your hangar, and select GÇ£Activate PLEXGÇ¥ from the pop up menu. A window will show where you can choose between either adding it your accountGÇÖs subscription or to the Multiple Character Training queue.
Source
It should count as a subscription. It was also said that PLEXed accounts will count towards the Omega clone state and are equal to a subscription in that case.
And to the person who thinks the PLEX Buyer should get the reward, the buyer got his reward/value the moment he sold the PLEX for ISK on the market. |

As far as I know CCP have never separated out active subscriptions from PLEX and active subscriptions from cash in thing like this, and I don't imagine they are starting now. I'm certain people subscribing with PLEX will receive the same rewards.

Yeah they are limiting some of the items in game. As there has been a HUGE influx of accounts since the skill injectors, just check out eveoffline for the new account spikes which amount to about 15-20K accounts all told, which are all injector farming accounts and are all plexed.
Basically CCP is excluding all those style accounts in this offer to limit the rewards which in turn will screw anyone else that plexs their acounts.
Everyone that has ever subbed gets the Gnosis skin, so these will be the most prevalent items from the deal, anyone that subs one month at the time of expansion will get the last free ship, the armor set and googles and the gnosis skin, anyone that pays for 3 months will get all of it by my account of the deal.
From the way I have gathered it is that CCPs accounting policy is different for recurring subs than for plexs. AFAIK they state the recurring subs as income directly while the plexs income is a bit different as it can be claimed WHEN it is sold OR WHEN it is redeemed for game time. Which allows for a lot of account shenanigans if one wishes based on what is the best accounting policy. Delaying, or defering, income is a common practice for companies.
It also likely means CCP wants to bolster its income statements a bit with increased "income", perhaps for a bad quarterly or other such issues. But that is pure speculation on my part there. Ive just seen it on a lot of prospectus' in my days. You would be surpised at all the loopholes in accounting for companies for quarterly or year ends.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

I'm 99% certain this is not the case. They never have split it out like that, and farm accounts aren't a new thing. And they are giving out in-game items, so it really wouldn't be worth the headache from enraged players to limit them anyway, since giving them out to everyone has no real impact.
Consider too that if they were to split it out, anyone already plexed past November would be psychically unable to pay their sub, and anyone of an age which restricts access to payment method or in a country that restricts access to payment methods would be unable to participate.
I'm not even sure where the confusion came from either, since it only states you need an active subscription, and a plexed account has a subscription status of Active.

A plex is basically the same as paying a month to month subscription. CCP's internal system does;t give a rats ass how you pay for said sub. If you play eve right now, you are subscribed. its that simple. The only way you will not get the rewards, form my understanding, is if you let your subscription lapse (i.e. you don;t pay for it) in anyway. So stop paying with plex, sub lapses. Simple.
They have done this for years and i had an account i used to plex for a year till i got tired of wasting the isk and just forked out my cc. it got all the reward my other accounts did, and there was no mention during that time frame of a sub vs plex. A sub is a sub regardless of how you pay for it.

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  |

You can't be that clever. All the email said was, "Maintain an active subscription" - a criteria which is met by PLEX.

This thread is an example of how hysteria happens.
Someone reads or hears something, takes it in an out of context way based on a flaw in their personal definition of something (in this case the flawed idea that plexing and subscribing are different), and then blows it up into some horror that it never was.
It's kind of funny in the context of a video game forum, till you realize that real life wars have been started from such misunderstandings... |

Going by the email, and the page it links too, it does not look like it will work for plex. The fact that this thread is 3 pages long and a ccp staff member has no doubt read it means that If it was going to apply to plex then a ccp'er would have said so by now. |

No, the guy who bought the PLEX should be rewarded then, not you. CCP wants to reward paying customers, you are not that, no matter what mental gymnastics you do. You are just playing the game, making an insensitive for people to buy PLEX. The market exist so there is no reason to reward people buying PLEX with isk. With the introduction of alpha clones it also make sense they want as many subscribers as possible, as the general amount of plexers might drop. So: you do not create revenue, the guy buying the PLEX does. So stop trying to ruining it for the people who actually had to put up some money. No hands- no cookies, just like it should be in a cuttthroat world.
1. The guy who consumes (uses) the PLEX generates the revenue. 2. CCP earns more with a PLEX subscription (Gé¼19.95 per month) than with a normal subscription (Gé¼14.95 or Gé¼10.95 per month depending on sub plan). 3. CCP never made a difference between PLEX subs and normal subs AFAIK. Sub is sub. |

Someone reads or hears something, takes it in an out of context way based on a flaw in their personal definition of something (in this case the flawed idea that plexing and subscribing are different), and then blows it up into some horror that it never was.
It's kind of funny in the context of a video game forum, till you realize that real life wars have been started from such misunderstandings...

Sure. So if I buy 200 PLEX, but don't consume them, just store them CCP makes no revenue, right? I hope you can see how stupid your comment is. As soon as I buy the PLEX CCP makes money, independent of it is consumed or not. A lot of plexes are never consumed, but used as an investment object CCP still gets the money.

This was never part of the discussion. The discussion is about that he cannot accept that people who gives money directly to CCP gets more than those who do not. Where I say, if it is the case that plexers don't get the reward(I highly doubt this) and if he wants to reward someone, then reward the one who bought the PLEX with real money instead of the guy who uses it. I hope you can see how this is different from the differences in prizes you were posting?
Algarion Getz wrote:

If you had read anything in this thread, instead of just barging in the end of the thread commenting on something you don't understand the context of, you would know that this is not completely clear. Hence this panic thread about how the OP thinks it is unfair, that those using real money to subscribe with get something he does not when using no money(Again I think plexers will be included as well, but OP does clearly not). Due to the ambiguous wording on the subscription page it is open to interpretation. If plexers are not included I have argued for, I think this is okay if CCP only wants to reward those who have subscriptions, it is their choice.
It really annoys me you reply to something, having not understood a minimum of what is being discussed.

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. |

I monitor three accounts and the one that is expiring in 3 days is the only one that is getting the email. That may be a coincidence because of my settings but I have noticed in the past if I let my account slip too close to the renewal deadline I start getting notices.

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.

Everyone understands that. But that is not what we are discussing. We are discussing if it is okay for CCP to only reward subscribers for loyalty (If that indeed is the case). So everyone needs to understand the assumption for these discussions are that PLEXers don't get the extra stuff (Which we do not know is true). As long as we don't know if this base assumption is true or not, we are gonna have this mishmash of a discussion all over the place, with some discussing revenue and others dscussing who CCP should reward. These two topics are not directly compatible, leading to this trainwreck of a discussion.
I will continue the discussion about if CCP has to also reward the person using the PLEX, as that is what this thread is about.
in your example: 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
If we assume PLEXers don't get the reward, and we assume that we now with this thread have convinced CCP to change this. I would say give both rewards to Player A, as he gives up the money (And I assume that is the behaviour CCP wants to reward).
Darth Terona says, give the reward to both as they both create revenue (they do, but they don't both loose RL money). Darth terona would then get he reward for the money player A payed ~twice, but Player A only get one reward for his money.
So this is basically where the discussion is at. Do you want to reward giving up the money, do you want to reward the abstract concept of revenue?
Which is a bit a silly topic to discuss tbh. as we still don't know if Darth Terona is right in that PLEXers are not included. So this is all purely theoretical, and could be based on a misreading of an ambiguously written text.

On the broader context, CCP have always included people with active accounts, whether PLEXed or paying by credit card, in previous promotions.
I don't see anything different here, no matter whether I agree with it or not.
However, don't take my reply as anything more than in context with the reply it was for.

So to test this and see what the facts are, I just went and cancelled subscription on one of my accounts that I only activate intermittently because it's only cyno alts. It still identifies the subscription:
https://puu.sh/r6dqA/23908fdeed.png
I bet yours says something like:
1 Year EVE Subscription - cancelled
and your account is clearly still active.
As long as you don't let you account expire and go inactive, you'll be fine.

I mean. Ccp got their money either way. So I don't think it's right to not include us who plex.
PLEXing does count toward being subscribed.
When you activate a PLEX, you activate a subscription, and are actively playing the game.
Hence, you are active, and actively subscribed.
You'll get the rewards if you have an active subscription, regardless of how you pay for it.

I'm not sure my point could have gone farther over your head.
Measuring the cost to play this game in terms of dollars is ridiculous. Time is our most valuable resource. How much time does it take someone in game to earn enough ISK to buy a plex? Get a part time job slinging fast food and you'll pay for one months subscription faster than earning it in game. People who plex in game are clueless as to the time value of money. Give me a single saturday and I will earn enough to pay for my subscriptions for the next six months. How many people can do that in game?
That was literally the point. The fact the OP (and you apparently) can't seem to comprehend that says something.

I mean. Ccp got their money either way. So I don't think it's right to not include us who plex. PLEXing does count toward being subscribed. When you activate a PLEX, you activate a subscription, and are actively playing the game. Hence, you are active, and actively subscribed. You'll get the rewards if you have an active subscription, regardless of how you pay for it.
Thanks for that. Now the bigger question. Buy two manipulated plexes and get rewards worth (x), or wait 2 months and just buy the reward stuff from market as people offload it :P... |

Isk value, just buy the awards later. They will be dirt cheap. Ccp don't give away stuff for free that's worth a lot of isk.
Certain it won't be 2bil worth anyway |

I will be keeping mine rewards. Especially the black suits and ships. I think Gnosis will not lose as much value because Alphas will want to pilot it. They may be not worth 2B, but I am subscribed anyway.

How much time does it take someone in game to earn enough ISK to buy a plex? Get a part time job slinging fast food and you'll pay for one months subscription faster than earning it in game. People who plex in game are clueless as to the time value of money. Give me a single saturday and I will earn enough to pay for my subscriptions for the next six months. How many people can do that in game? 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.

99% of people who earn that kind of profit in a day treat this like a job, not a game. Any traders are simply wasting time.
I do my trading on the market IRL. If I'm going to work a job, I want to make real money for it, not ISK.  |
