I like what CCP is trying to do with "PLEX" But I don't think they are going the right way about it. for example.
the cost of a "PLEX" is about 1,168,000,000 at the moment. if they where broken into 500 the cost of a "Plex Piece" would be 2,336,000.
This means that a month of game time would cost 500 X 2,336,000 = 1,168,000,000 making the monthly subscription the exact same, because each of those 500 pieces are usless without the other 499 to those seeking a monthly sub. granted the prices would drop initially as aurum transfering adds to the supply.
I would suggest that a "PLEX" be broken into 30 pieces , and change the "PLEX" to be 24 hours of game time. this would do a couple of things for the players and for CCP.
1. A player could buy "PLEX" in smaller amounts as they get the isk and not run the risk of falling out of Omega.
2. A players could pick and choose there time for Omega, and this is the important one for CCP I believe. This would open the game up more to the "weekend warriors" in gaming, as most "weekend warriors" are reluctant to sub to a game because 5 out of the 7 days for the sub is wasted to them. Lets face it CCP they are the ones with all the money because they are working all week, If they only get a few hours to play on a weekend don't you worry for a second that they wouldn't buy LOADS of "PLEX" to sell for ISK to inject into things. They will be impatient as they have limited time, they with want to dive straight into the real PVP in expensive ships. and for the full time players that means easy expensive kills, but ultimately for higher end content.
3. I believe this would reduce the demand for "PLEX" among the "FULL Time player" slightly as people would be extending 30 days of "PLEX" using them smarter out to 40-50 days. and there would be Extra on the market from the "weekend warriors".
4. This would drop the price of "PLEX" in game as the demand is slightly reduced making it harder to "BUY A SUPER" with "PLEX", witch means people would need to buy more "PLEX" from CCP to be able to afford things.
For example a carrier Hull costs about the price of a "PLEX" at the moment or $20, if the price of "PLEX" drops 50% (witch is not realistic now but not out of the realm of reality for EVE) then it would cost somone $40 to buy a carrier with "PLEX".
I hope you read this CCP and I hope you consider it or something like it, as the general opinion of the 500 pieces is not a good idea. After all isn't this a players game?
Kind regards
