Arthure Pentedragoon University of Caille Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2017.03.18 21:17:16 - [451] - Quote I guess the big question is will CCP allow purchasing OMEGA time in 1 NewPLEX increments. ? If so a lot of specialized alts can be left ALPHA except for the exact time that you need them at full OMEGA skill. Yet somebody will still need OMEGA to add skill points into EVE either by direct toon traiing time or as injectors. Sort of win-win for CCP and players. The ultimate flexibility. Players can more quickly fly Titan or whatever via injectors without dedicating their RL...but also save some money afterwards by goign OMEGA only on weekends. (LOL - Sounds odd to spend hundreds RL to jump into capital ship immediately then squeeze pennies as weekend warrior. But people on budgets do stuff like that with hobbies all the time when they expect years of involvement.) And skins and other stuff may well sell better when its only exchanging a few hours of game play -- rather than committing to exchanging a whole OldPLEX (30 days of gameplayer) which can then really be spent only on more (often far less wanted) store stuff.

But I expect CCP to sell in all sorts of lot sizes (100, 250, 333, 750, 1000, 5000, etc) both for user flexibility and to simply erase the old cost of game time from user minds. Where do you buy a Plex for $14.95? 1 months game time via "Add game time" is $14.95 1 Plex is $19.95 via the Plex store. My opinions are mine.

That's a shame really, if they are going to make the currency granular they should make the resulting sub more granular. Many free to play games use the model World of Tanks/Warships,and Armored Warfare [rip] to name a few.

Ronnie Rose Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 10	Posted - 2017.03.18 23:12:41 - [459] - Quote CCP Falcon wrote: Hey guys, Just a quick update! Thanks for all the feedback so far - it's clear that there's been some pretty active and somewhat vigorous discussion of the proposed changes. Team Size Matters and the community team are running through this thread, looking over the feedback (both positive and negative) as well as the suggestions that all you guys are putting forward. We'll be taking a look at it, discussing it internally early after the weekend, and will be looking at how best to incorporate relevant feedback into the changes that are coming. Thanks again for all the feed back, and remember - Let's keep it civil here and within the realms of the forum rules I'll just repost this then so it is not lost to CCP...its just for consideration I get it. CCP's proposal is to break up today's single PLEX to 500 mini-PLEXes. That means the new mini PLEX will be 500th of the value of what PLEX is running for. So the math is simple 1,000,000,000 (estimated market value) / 500 = 2,000,000 ISK. So when one has their PLEX converted to mini PLEXes and has 500 of them, then post to the market 2,000,000.01 for each mini PLEX that's equals to 5 ISK should they all sell (2,000,000.01 x 500 = 1,000,000,005 ISK). It stands to reason the smaller PLEX units will sell quicker under the illusion its more affordable. It's like taking a pack of cigarettes and selling each cigarette for a dollar. Cheaper than the whole pack, but in the long run costing more than buying a single pack (20 cigarettes, 1 dollar for each cigarette equals 20 bucks, when a pack runs like 7 bucks). This will create more demand for the mini PLEX driving higher prices, but I believe in the long run it will price out players like the OP who rely on making ingame ISK to pay for PLEX on the market. Sure that player will be able to "afford" the smaller PLEX denomination, but in the long run it will cost them more. Consequently, the price of commodities and items will also increase. I bet the new mini PLEX will settle to about 2,200,000 ISK We're not here to change the game, we're here to change YOUR game

And for now it looks like it will be stop for good. Greetings capsuleer! You make a bold claim that Eve Online is "a casual farming money cellphone game" Further, you make a second claim that "At lest that's what is happening to eve lately and still going that way" We(1) are very interested in this money farm via cellphone in Eve Online. The words farming/money/casually, has peaked Our(1) curiosity and we are very interested to learn of said changes to Eve Online that have happened, and are still happening, that have turned Eve Online into a cellphone money farming game. We understand there are money farming cellphone games which are free to play that will soak you for hundreds, if not thousands, of real life currency in order to compete in said game and would like to know more so we can scrutinize your claim that it is the same with Eve Online. Are you able to explain to us how Eve Online soaks a POD Pilot, via a cellphone, with paid for in game content, in the currency of their choice? The last we checked, for a small $14.95 monthly fee, less if you pay for multiple months in advance, you get access to the full game, minus some cosmetic effects to ship and character. Of course, maybe you were referring to skill injectors that can only be bought currently with Aurum and how a new player with more real life currency than brains, in the current instant gratification culture, can simply buy their way through skill point advancement by injecting skill points another POD pilot has already taken the time to train by buying those skill points via PLEX conversion to isk. Have no fear brave muppet(2). Those fresh into the game, who buy their skillpoint advancement with RL currency instead of time, have no idea what ship inertia is let alone how to use it to their advantage in a combat setting. Furthermore, there are plenty of POD Pilots who enjoy popping, dunking, and blowing up these nerds in a spaceship game over the internet. Rest assured those who buy their skill point advancement with RL currency, in lieu of both piloting skill and understanding of game mechanics, are losing their assets quite frequently. Indeed, someone who buys their way into a battleship via PLEX and skill injectors, yet has zero understanding of transversal, is already dead. They just dont know it yet. This, my friend, is a good thing. Fine Print: (1)Our refers to the combined personalities of our effeminate, Queenly side and the more masculine, Kingly side coming together in an epiphany of raucous joviality.

Instead of incrementing expiration at 30 days from now - increment by 1 or 2 hours for each NewPLEX spent for game time. Pretty sure that transition to or from OMEGA status in mid-session already works smoothy, as does safe storage of newly added PLEX against server crash. At least I hope it does. Although the net income change would be hard to predict. I would think training alone would keep most advanced players subscribing or PLEXing for continuous time regardless of PLEX or time increments. It is however almost certain that many more ALPHA players would at least buy a few NewPLEX with ISK just to try out equipment within easy reach. Lots of ALPHA players can afford to buy say 5 NewPLEX with ISK
Maenth The Thirteen Provinces 30	Posted - 2017.03.19 00:49:39 - [462] - Quote While I don't follow PLEX prices closely, I'm sure many people do, and also appreciate being able to see and use the long-term graph. Additionally, PLEX has a solid history in its current state, as a large whole unit of game time/whatever. Most of all, it's a really nice and easy mental conversion to see and say that 1 PLEX = 1 month of Omega time. Is there any way to preserve this? Could PLEX be converted into a tradeable currency with fractional units? Drones. Drones are a means to an end. An end to the ruthless Caldari 'progress' machines. An end to the barbaric 'redemption' proposed by the Amarr. What they see as chaos shall be my perfect order, merely beyond their comprehension.

Where do you buy a Plex for $14.95? 1 months game time via "Add game time" is $14.95 1 Plex is $19.95 via the Plex store. I had a brain gas explosion. OK 0.04 USD per NewPLEX -- if price for 30 days via PLEXing does not change. Most common(?) volume discount of 6 OldPLEX lot from CCP is still $17.50 USD Used to be some big resellers that occasionally gave additional store discounts somehow. IDK if that still happens. Probably have to spend a lot RL money at that store if it does. Yup PLEX is more expensive than subscription if paying directly with RL money. Sort of my point. Game Time is simply the bullion backing the lowest end value of a PLEX. But game time/multiple toon training time are also still the main reasons PLEX disappear from market. Do not see a reason for CCP to change game subscription RL cost as soon or as much - if ever. Subscription price is not on market for speculation due to alternate uses or in-game ISK means of purchase. Flipping subscriptions to periodic delivery of a PLEX instead of just game time would likely blow up EVE without equalizing RL costs. Not impossible for CCP to do. But I will never expect it because too many people will eject if the constant $14.95/month changes much. All leading back to why CCP might play with RL cost of PLEX raising it a small reasonable amount. Assumption: Most people PLEXing for EVE game time are very successful in game, not paying RL money to play and thus unlikely to quit if RL PLEX costs rise a bit. Hopefully CCP calculates just right not to stress game play or players but enough to cover their bills with smaller paying player base. Oh and to get CCP stores to be worth all the artwork etc invested.
Karmen Baric State War Academy Caldari State 0	Posted - 2017.03.19 01:44:59 - [465] - Quote Changes seem fine. Like idea of only one currency, much easier to understand for new players. Plex vault im fine with, good way for people to keep plex safe, especially new players again. As for the only converting amounts above 1000AUR, fine with that also, and i assume CCP already thinks of this. Thry will not be taking peoplesAUR away im sure. CCP Will do this i think ....Anyone with below 1000AUR can add more (mini)Plex to it so that they can buy items from the NES, thus they never lose their 500 or whatever AUR, they just dont get it converted. EG: You have 500AUR leftover but want to buy a 5 skill extractor pack (currently 4500AUR), you add 560 more (mini)Plex. AUR is never taken away but for amounts less than 1000 it is historically saved.

Kaivarian Coste Placid Peace Corps 138	Posted - 2017.03.19 09:02:47 - [469] - Quote If CCP is interested in boosting population numbers, then it should give capsuleers an option to subscribe for less than 30 days. If granular PLEX is good, then so should be granular subscriptions, with 24 hours being a good minimum. This should appeal to casuals and weekend warriors who only play the game a few times per month, but don't wish for the limitations of alphas. Perhaps make a 24 hour subscription more "expensive" than a 30 day sub, eg: 500 plex = 30 days 50 plex = 1 day
Xiu Kahn Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 9	Posted - 2017.03.19 10:42:51 - [470] - Quote Nice that you want to break plex into smaller units. That should create more market activity. However I would prefer 1 large unit as a pilot extension or MCT option not 500. So a multipack option sold as a unit should be available for $19.95. As for Aurum I thought the concept was dumb to begin with to have multiple currencies. You might also want to find a new name for your currency since it has expanded beyond a simple Pilot License now. I do think it is unwise to simply delete the remaining Arum for under 1000 units which still represents a small cash equivalent without offering something in return. Essentially we have paid for something and you have not returned our change. If we were in a store this would be a roof raising issue even if its only pennies on the dollar. In other cases it is called fraud and the government gets involved. The real one not the CSM. True the Eula says you can do what you want but you may want to consider turning those little Arum dollars into something useful. Maybe a coupon for a free skin or injector down the road.

It's much more sensible to make it scale with single days and hours. Being able to sub for a weekend has a good appeal, and it'll help players out who are maybe on hard times. Don't forget though that the isk still has to be earned to buy the micro plex in the first place. As for no subs below 30 days....if they are even contemplating it in the future, they should do it now and not let the rumour mill keep rolling. Solecist Project...." They refuse to play by the rules and laws of the game and use it as excuse ..." " They don't care about how you play as long as they get to play how they want." Welcome to EVE.

Lando Cenvax The Nose Picker Clown Group Elemental Tide 17	Posted - 2017.03.19 11:36:36 - [474] - Quote Great idea! Unless you read the very last line... Q: With smaller PLEX, will I be able to buy less than 30 days of Omega time? A: We currently have no plans regarding smaller game time packages. Are you guys serious? How stupid is that? 500 PLEX is also a stupid number to convert, at least once you realize sticking with 30 day only packages renders this change ad absurdum. As mentioned above (Post 17) 720 PLEX would be a good number. The conversion from AUR to PLEX is a one time action, so don't give priority to this. No on cares if this is factor 7 (3500->500) or 4,86111 (3500->720).

I'm not going to support a company that's stealing money from their customers. Lol, 1000 AUR are worth in RL exactly nothing, it's a virtual thing owned by CCP. CCP can do with the Aurum what they want, didn't you read the ToS before signing up for EvE? Nothing within this game belongs to you, but is property of CCP. That depends, in UK law if you bought something from a company they have to deliver it. This would be a very grey area, especiialy if you considered Aurum to be a service

Q: With smaller PLEX, will I be able to buy less than 30 days of Omega time? A: We currently have no plans regarding smaller game time packages. Are you guys serious? How stupid is that? It's not stupid at all. It's avoiding a rash of '1 day omegas' for cynos, hotdroppers and the like.

We will run specials in the New Eden Store leading up to the change so that thereGÇÖs good reason to use up excess Aurum" I have 245 AUR, Skill extractor is 1000 AUR, cheapest ship skins are 250 AUR... I feel disinclined to purchase more AUR to bump up a in game currency about to be terminated. One would imagine this is a popular concern. May I request you make available a variety of empire themed codpieces for our remaining AUR, they should cost coincidently 245 AUR. I would like a Gallente Themed utility codpiece please.
Ronnie Rose Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 10	Posted - 2017.03.19 18:57:46 - [478] - Quote Alright, after more musing on the PLEX changes here is what I think are motives on why these ideas are being proposed. 1. PLEX Vault - A safer way to transact a high value commodity for new players so they will not suffer the in game criminality of gate camp gankers. 2. PLEX broken up into smaller denominations - Will promote revenue stream for CCP by increased sales of PLEX sold outside of the game (e.g. direct sales of PLEX from CCP to players) Now, if CCP fixed one thing with EVE their would not be a need for a PLEX Vault, and that is gate camps. Next to large scale corporation wars, which are rare, players have suffered more ship loses at gate camps period. In High SEC ships are lost by perpetrators to the victims and then CONCORD responding to the perps. If gate camps in High SEC were more balanced by, say lock times increases around high sec gates, and or AoE smart bombs are disabled at high sec gates, then people transporting PLEX through High Sec would be safer WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A PLEX VAULT (apply this also to undocking at stations). But no. Since the idea of a PLEX vault is being proposed to make PLEX transaction safer, this only implies indirectly the problem with gate camps. In other words the proposed change is ignoring the real problem with EVE. Go after the real issue and CCP can make PLEX transaction safer in EVE especially for new players. So, fix the gate camp problem, and then no is need for a PLEX vault to keep PLEX safe, and gankers will still have a chance to catch a player transporting PLEX in High SEC, just not at gates (or undocking at a station, maybe). However, if people say leave the gate camp in high sec as is, then I'm for the PLEX vault, which means gankers will lose out through all New Eden, and I would not have any sympathy for those that would cry about that. As for CCP breaking up the PLEX for smaller denomination, I'm indifferent. It's a chance for CCP to increase their revenue stream, which every game company should be entitled to do under fair conditions to its players. Finally, as for voiding Aurum balances under 1000 without compensation to players, I'm against that because its too much of a liability against CCP. Cheers! We're not here to change the game, we're here to change YOUR game
