this doesn't seem all too unreasonable so long as a normal plex itself is the only plex that can be bought for real money and then in order to get "half" or "quarter" plex you need to split it up and they cannot be recombined. |

Current system: if someone wants to bring their titan or super alt to a fight. They need to spend the 15 dollars (or more if it's a plex) in order to activate the account. And believe me tge big alliances have far more titan abd super late than they use. Precisely because it costs so much to activate them even for 1 fight.
Make it 99 cents and you will see a massive increase in capital hot drops
This seems pretty inconsequential. For any alliance worth their salt that has a supercap pilot, buying a plex with isk to get them in the fight is a drop in the ocean. |

1.Would players use it ?
2.Do players need it ?
3.Would it be fun ?
1.Most definitely.
2.Absolutely. Not everybody has the time to spare to grind out enough isk to stay subbed for a whole month, being able to buy a single week at a time would be an extremely useful feature.
3.Define "fun". |

It's a terrible idea for a bunch of administrative and trade reasons. it makes it easier for Alpha players to pay which means more money will be spent means more money for CCP No, it will make it harder. Suppose I'm going to sell you some beer. I can sell you 1 bottle for $2, a 6 pack of bottles for $10 or a case of 24 bottles for $35. Which is easier to buy? On a per bottle basis the last option is the best buy. Now, lets convert these over to weeks of game time. The first week I get more training and more SP, but it is then useless unless I buy another week. In the end, I'd be much better off buying my time in bulk, which if you do with a credit card you can get a pretty substantial discount.
I see nothing wrong with making people choose between convenience or value. Why not let alphas learn this the hard way? Why not let casual players have a more casual option for plexing instead of being forced to commit to a whole month? Why not let PLEX sellers have options and further stimulate the economy? You really need to consider the big picture here instead of just focusing on how this would inconvenience or rather, not convenience, you personally. |

Exactly my same sentiments, I'd like the option of being able to spend a little bit more for a little bit less, but be able to use it when I can take full advantage of it. Not everyone can, or is willing to, grind out a plex within that specific 30 day time period. People have lives, there are other games that people play, and it's super easy to burn out on EVE. |
