For me its 450 million for a PLEX. If its more than that, I buy a 3 month sub and hope the prices fall during those 3 months.

So can I.
But for me, part of the challenge is to pay for my gametime with isk. But when the price is too high I have no problem spending cash.
I'm just curious as to when others make that same decision.

That sort of depends on my wallets, in and out of game, and my desire to keep playing and/or training. Actually, right now, I'm loathe to pay in either fashion, so that might indicate how pricy the PLEX is, as well as my current finances. I think it's only 450 if you put up a buy order though.
Payed without PLEX for now anyway. Typically speaking though, ISK is harder to achieve-and keep-than money; so I usually end up paying with money. Only once, I think I payed with PLEX when it was down around 350 million. |

The final valuation (once prices stabilize) of my stockpile in more than 300 billion, so even though I've moved from being a poor student to working paying $$$ still feels like it would be an expense that would hurt my 'pride'.
Pretty much one of the main reasons EvE manages to retain so many veteran players is that those players don't pay any RL isk for their accounts. 84,000 AUR ($420) spent on NeX store for Troll and Profit. |

If they ever hit 700m+ ISK, I'll reduce the number of accounts I PLEX by one and purchase a year-long sub for it instead.
In essence, that would save me 879m ISK per month when you factor in the subscription discount.
Well, that's the plan, anyway. Until I remember2EVE again I'm paying out of pocket. "The EVE forums are intended to provide a warm, friendly atmosphere for the EVE community."-áGÇö-áEVElopedia |

400mil was my cut off point now that they are 500mil and beyond ive lets some account go unsubbed Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs. |

I recently coughed up 450 or more for an alt account. My main account used to be plex only, though the time I spent farming isk in various ways ate up a lot of time, so much time that it meant that any 'game time" I had was put towards that effort of keeping the account going. That means the game time I had was used to keep an account going so that I could keep farming to make isk to get a plex, to farm more, to get a plex...to....never profit.
I recently spent a few hours doing L4 missions and ended up making less then 20mil. The missions I have been getting have been absolute trash and the payouts seem to be reduced, but also take longer. The rate it has been going I would effectively spend 24 hours in game making isk to give to someone in trade for a plex card that cost them $20, which is less then 3 hours of work at a min.wage job. That would leave it at a 8 to 1 ratio of in game hours to RL work hours. Half a bil of isk is just asking way to much for what could be 3 or less hours of RL work time. Me, I'm done with plex unless those prices start to drop significantly.
We have had this discussion before and we will have it again, especially when one could have gotten 3 months of game time for much less then a plex is going for nowadays. The only way for the prices to come down is to kill the market, that means everyone needs to stop buying game time with isk. People want that isk and right now there is to much supply of it and not enough cash being put into selling plex cards. I would like to reactivate another alt as well, at least, but I won't because I'm done with giving so much time away for next to nothing in return. Theres no point in staying in game if all you are doing is working for someone to keep your account going, yet not leave you with enough time and isk to go and have fun. It is a game, its meant to be fun. Hit that wall and that next plex purchase will make you cringe and decide that extra account is not worth the time.
The funny thing is that I suspect that a lot of people that want that isk are the ones out in 0.0 where isk is far easier to scoop up. I also think that those that are buying those plex cards with isk are the ones in empire or even low sec where the isk does not flow so freely. Even if it did, the price of plex cards would increase to balance things out, once again in favor of those selling the cards.
Why did I reactivate my alt with isk? I don't know, maybe a knee jerk reaction. Perhaps I thought isk was going to be made at a rate where the higher plex prices are effectively no different then they were most of a year ago. A slight bump in mineral prices does not compensate it. The apparent reduced isk flow from L4s means that there is going to be more time spent making the same amount of isk as last year, which means gtcs are going to take nearly twice as long to get the isk for. If I had known that, instead of assuming things would balance out, I would have left the account dead in the water like the others. |

ha, yeah paying for an online game, at least beyond the initial software price(though thats starting to get blurred as well) is becoming antiquated. It does make me wonder about paying for eve when I have other alternatives to eat up my time, but give me far more enjoyment without the grind to keep an account going. Especially in a game where one still needs to grind for money to get to the fun part! |

Sounds about the same as my old isk income. That made me think about things even more, well, a split second really. Not only was I selling a lot of game time to someone to keep my account going, but I was also helping to keep the prices down on some goods and minerals by supplying such goods on the market. In a way it became playing a game to supporting the game time of others by giving them the isk to buy cheaper goods then they otherwise would be if I was not looking to get a gtc and turned to creating said items.
This thread also reminds me of past threads where people would start to flame away because they think that 20+hours of time spent in game is worth a trade of $20. |

While I'm uncomfortable with the current price of plex, I'm even more uncomfortable with the rage war from null against high sec as well as, I personally find negativity of the community becoming a major reason why I don't want to play after getting home from work, and why on weekends I kind of wish I could go into work.
I will probably sub another month on both my accts using plex and make a decision at the end of feb if i want to continue playing... at this point I will say I'm not paying $15 per acct per month to play a game that seems to be steering in the direction the CSM is trying to take it, where high sec is a baron waste land because you cant make enough money to do a damn thing in it. |

The rise in the price of plex is probably due to more people playing the game since Crucible and recent MMORG voting with expectations for even more players. However, CCP isn't motivated to do anything about plex price instead favoring re-establishing subs by those who unsubbed because of last summer's PR fiasco. Individual RL plex prices being the most expensive form of funding game play, CCP may have a preference for them. But, if that were the case, I would expect them to put the brakes on current prices which they are not doing as the increased isk price certainly will impact in-game demand even while stimulating RL demand to purchase them for the exchange value. So, I have to favor the re-establishment of subscriptions theory.
Obviously, people are considering switching to sub payment as indicated in this thread. But, who really knows except CCP? We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

PLEX is a fantastic ISK sink that self adjusts to ISK inflow / outflow balance.
ATM they are expensive because of the Fanfest ticket thingy plus too much ISK being created and too little being destroyed.
If you look at the past years you'll see PLEX costed less even when population was bigger than today's so the cause of price rising is unlikely to be a lot about increased player base.
I would not exclude CCP became more lenient against bots as well, until paying playerbase is back over a certain thresold. |

Before I became aware of the RMT-***** master that PLEX really is, I saw it as a sponsorships system and paid through CC from the beginning. I would buy 2 PLEX if I haden't found the time to grind ISK and saw it as a couple of people getting to play EVE who wouldn't. A Russian rival or a blue in Norway, it didn't matter.
Now they are just an ingame market tool to make ISK. |

I think he means :whatever the word is for something that increases isk velocity/circulation:.
Newbies, casuals, PvPers (who probably don't have much isk) can buy PLEX from CCP and sell it to the neckbeard brigade (who tend to have a lot of isk).

I see this shady practice these PLEX holders are doing via market. I'm sure they're going to push it to 600m ISK. "and beyond!"
Stopped paying for PLEX when it was over 380m. Today it is edging near 500m. Screw buying PLEX with ISK if they're agenda is to make you pay twice as much ISK as you would for just one.
simply use your reserve PLEX or just switch to cash until the market is more rational. [img]http://www.imgbox.de/users/S7AR/star.png[/img] |

The day they honor 365 days for the yearly subscription instead of the 5 days they steal. I am going to let my account lapse if they do not honor my 5 days. I am sure my money will be welcome by another company.
if you pay for 12 months you only get 360 days.
I had a GM honor the 5 extra days once.
So I pay for a yearly subscription last week but they actually REFUNDED My credit card when I open a petition to get my 5 days credited.
The GM said screw you. I posted my old petition where a GM game the 5 days and they still said screw you we are not honoring it.
Every 73 accounts that pay with real money add up to 365 days in "lost"/stolen game time.
The New GM are very bad with customer service.
Here is the proof:
Quote:GM Markab Sent - 2/25/2010 12:03:00 AM Hello,
I have now added these days to your subscription time.
The problem however is that the subscription periods are do not go by calendar days, but actually every month is counted as 30 days, and so a twelve months subscription is not really a year, but rather 12 times 30 days.

Plex is not an isk sink. The isk goes from the purchaser to the seller, from the seller back into the economy.
As for the rest of your statements, I was not aware of fanfest's influence since I don't really pay attention to that news. It would make sense though and probably a significant contributor. Current pricing is most likely due to speculation due to a number of factors including fanfest. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX! |

Hats off mate, you're a colossal tight-wad. Factoring out those five days the year-long sub plan is still the cheapeast cash method of paying.

About 400 million because the hours to make 400 million cost far more than 15 bucks. Unless you are cheating or something. but 400 million is not too hard and is by and far by product but if people are grinding to pay for plex...
But if I didn't have 15 bucks to spend on a game then plex is cool. One of the best things I ever seen any game. People who want isk get it and people who want to play get too. Better than gold sink Ebay sellers. The isk is not fake so it is all good. |

I would rather not spend 4 hours grinding (working?) for the 450mil ISK it takes for a PLEX when I can spend 4 hours working (grinding?) for real life cash equivalent to 3 and a bit PLEX (or subsequent gametime). I don't consider PLEX free account time because the amount of time I spend getting ISK for it lowers the amount of time I spend getting real life cash at a greater rate than the money i save per hour by grinding enough to have a "free" account.
As for the OP's question ummm.... I stopped buying PLEX for gametime the instant I figured I could acquire gametime + real life cash for the same amount of effort that getting enough ISK to acquire a PLEX takes. At my current in game income/hour compared to my out of game income/hour, I would only pay for PLEX with ISK if it was priced at around 150mil ISK. anything more than that just wastes real life money by grinding, unfortunately :/ |

Well since I have a grown up real people job, if I work at my job I can make %15 waaaaaaaay faster than I can grind in eve to get a PLEX.
Although I live in null and don't farm incursions......... |

I've been paying with RL money for a little while, and I enjoy having so much more ISK in my wallet.
PLEX prices have been far too high for me to consider them, probably since they broke 300 million. I can't even comprehend spending 500 million for one. If ISK inflation has allowed prices to rise this much, this fast, then there is a seriously unbalanced ISK faucet at work (Incursions?).

This.
I can easily afford PLEX for all my accounts year in and year out. The problem is that a PLEX for each account really takes a chunk out of my disposable income ingame at current prices, thus preventing me from enjoying EVE as I have to grind isk to be able to lose stuff.
So its easier to just pay with $. Ends up multiplying my ingame profit by a significant amount plus the infaltion on PLEX doesn't effect me. |

I don't think its that people have the isk to buy it... I believe its that we don't have enough people buying PLEX to sell in Eve. The demand for PLEX is clearly there. It's the supply that's causing the inflation. Think veldspar. |

I rather pay isk for a sub then cash , so allthough i got a job i'll stick to paying in PLEX till the 1B a plex for sure.Maybe if it goes above 1 B i'll reconsider how many accs i want to keep subbed IF one at all.
Mostly depends on how fast or slow you make isk in the game and the amount of grind you need for each to decide paying plex or cash. |

My threshold was in the 350mil isk range before I stopped buying them. Somewhere in there it stopped being a game and became a job. Now I just pay my 50 cents a day to play and just enjoy what I can earn. I know I left a battleship in this station. Wait, you can put ships in Station Containers? ****! I just trashed them. |

I normally pay in 6-month subscriptions, so its really about $12.50/month.
For awhile, I had a monthly subscription in Second Life that was $300-$350 (moderate land holdings, partially paid by others). The average land 'subscription' in SL is $25/month (also GameTap, which was the second hoster for Uru / Myst Online).
At those rates, paying for one or two Eve accounts do not sound so bad.
I may have come here from Myst Online, but that does not make me any less bloodthirsty than the average Eve player.
Just more subtle.

I don't pay with ISK (yet) but I assume the point is when people start spending the entire month grinding cash, just so they can spend the next month grinding cash.
This is why you pay in advance people. |

I'll pay using ISK as long as I will be able to. I consider it is a goal by itself.
