A few interesting observations stolen from another thread:
"People don't need to buy ISK from RMTers anymore - they can just run incursions.
People don't need to run multiple bots to generate decent income - they can just run incursions.
People with real life money to spend, can just buy isk from CCP, 500 mil for 15 bucks is much better than 350, and there is no risk."
Do we really want CCP to force Krissada's views on the community or keep things sand boxy and leave incursions alone. My personal opinion is that Krissada should do her own dirty work and leave CCP out of it.

her line looked like CCP was seling strait ISK.
PLEX for ISK is not isk selling or buying is paying for gameplay that you will not pay in another way.
I take the idot part even that am not so shore to who this need to aply in this case. Father O'Malley about Darius III begging for whelp: GÇ£Hows that working out for ya ?

I take the idot part even that am not so shore to who this need to aply in this case. If you only want to add game time, you would not buy PLEX. You'd buy extra game time.
The maths:
12-month game time subscription = $131.40
12 x PLEX = $209.94
The only reason a sane person would buy PLEX from CCP would be to sell PLEX in-game for ISK.
Buying PLEX is, almost by definition, buying ISK! Never make eye contact with someone while eating a banana. |

if you want to belive that CCP invented PLEX for ISK then belive so.
You cant help someone understend something if he not rdy for it = don't argue whith idiot.
Ask youre self what will hapen if tomorow CCP removes PLEX (GTC) and add simple purchase of ISK wia the market (for example you go to web page and but 500ISK for 15$).
Well the next few months there will be 25k players on line.
There is thousends of ppl that will not pay one cent to play EvE if the GTC did not existe we will simply not play.
CCP made plex to get more ppl to play EvE and not to sell ISK, is sad that you blured brains see it as CCP selling ISK.

I underlined the part of your own point that you seem to be missing.
Those "thousends" of people will pay for their gametime in ISK, thus completing the conversion of real money to ISK.
You can argue the fine points that it really is a third party selling PLEX for ISK all you want. The plain fact is CCP sells PLEX to one player who then sells the PLEX to another player for ISK. Real money becomes ISK for player 1 through the purchase and sale of an item CCP created.
Your argument is like saying drug lords don't sell drugs to kids because there is a dealer intermediary.
This is my signature.-á There are many others like it, but this one is mine. |

am always happy to see mature ppl in EvE ty for devloping youre point of wiev, i agree particulary whith the drug dealer part.
But my first shok was when i seen the OP claimed that you can buy "500 for 15$" that is entiredly differant that buying PLEX then do what ever you want to do whith plex.
I give you example from crimecraft i played time ago.
I looted rare weapon that i put on market at realy high price (it turns out that it was realy realy rare gun and becose i put realy realy high price on it no one could afort it) one day some guy convo me and offers to pay the gun in time codes (after chat to see how this will work we agree on deal).
Now this is important part in the PLEX (you can do what ever whith the PLEX you like) add it to youre own account put it on market sell on forum mayby buy titan whith it using chriba as 3rd partie
basicly you are not stuck whith only one option to sell it for ISK, CCP offer you item you can buy from them but they dont tell you to sell it for ISK is youre desision to do what you want whith it (you can even give it as gift to friend).
This is definetly not same as to say you can log in and buy 500 mill wia paypal whith youre credit card.
all i was saying that when the OP say you can buy ISK from CCP this is wrong.
i fully understend the pont you are making about the midle man. Father O'Malley about Darius III begging for whelp: GÇ£Hows that working out for ya ? I make it 02:21 and all I see is you begging Riverini to get numbers and trying to recruit from the incursion public channel.GÇ¥ |

I do not think the OP understand why people RMT.
The main reason why people Sell ISK directly to people/entities for IRL cash is because it is a source of income and an easy way to make undocumented income.
It is also cheaper to do than the legitimate way of converting isk to money by selling GTCs to people through a distributor.
What I have always failed to comprehend about CCP is why they refuse to let their economy grow into it's own legitimate currency.
Look at second life.
They make MILLIONS. Even AFTER the second life population got **** all over by philip linden they STILL kept putting real life cash into the second life economy. They had to have the latest clothes or styles.. Just like people in eve must have the latest ship or the most high end mods.
Second life saw a MASSIVE spike in population when they streamlined the process of turning lindens into USD and visa versa.
The only reason I can think of why this would not work for eve is because isk can be generated out of thin air. So at first CCP would LOSE ALOT OF CASH from payouts to people selling back isk and plex.
That is of course if CCP decides not to let other people accept plex and isk for cash.
If isk and plex is being sold to people other then CCP for cash then CCP loses no money. If anything they gain money provided they make a rule that plex/isk can only be baught with money from CCP.
Wait that sounds confusing.
Let me explain.
Somebody wants to SELL their plex/isk for CASH. A player with CASH Buys the Plex/Isk off the player and CCP gets a cut of it. Somebody wants to BUY plex/isk they do so by giving CASH to CCP.
make sense? Xenuria for CSM |

im guessing you think youre clever with your logic, but its flawed.
that argument has already been debunked many times, in fact, it has been dismissed as many times as this thread has been created.
"buying isk" can ONLY happen if i pay an x amnt of real currency for an Y amnt of Isk. that NEVER happened. what you buy with money is game time that ppl decide to pay for with their gameplay. the isk you get by selling what you bought with RL currency is ISK from bounties or mission rewards. so all youre paying for is the item ppl are willing to pay for. whats more important, Plex in no way grants any advantage so you cant really call it an "item", its "gametime".
literally thousands of other players like you voiced your same argument. eventually they all saw that making the jump from "buying plex" to "buying ISK" has no logic. once that became clear they went back to gate camping and stroking their e-peens. from what i read youre quite adamant on your argument, i hope you see the difference. if you dont, you'll be just slamming your head against a wall. plex wont go away, because it makes sence.
nothing on eve can be created out of nowhere... now AUR could potentially change that, but thats another discussion. |
