which is why you would be an idiot to buy plex (with RL monies) in order to get the card . Now explain why you would be an idiot to dump spacebux on a card and leave those 199 euro (or whatever) for doing something else?

1 plex = 19.95 euro , 20 plex = 399 euro, for a 199 euro card . Nope :)

Because you spent a year of mining to get the ISK! (If something more profitable, less time - but still, large time commitment.)

I made 1bil isk in the past 2 weeks and I'm not even in the "super rich" for Eve. I have a few friends who periodically make over 1bil in one day of Incursions when on a roll. When you start getting to the high end, 10bil is pocket change.

So? You buy the 20 plex and wait till the offer goes live.

I though EVE market is more clever than any other random mmo market where you can create panic and make people to buy crap way to easy. But I suppose the human nature stay the same even in virtual space.

So... 10 days for 200 Euros is good for you? 20 weeks?

So for some people it isn't a "crappy deal" and that was my original point.

Just the same as in real life where for some people spending a million pounds on a car is ridiculous extravagance but for others it's a minor luxury that can be purchased at a whim.

When I had old useless schoolbooks (they were stupidly bad in my country) I could trash them or sell them for 1/3 of their value. Guess what did I do?

once again, for the hard of thinking.

IT'S ONLY A BAD DEAL IF YOU SPEND RL MONIES TO BUY THE PLEX TO GET THE ITEM.







idiots.

Selling anything for 1/3 of it's value sounds like proper trading

Time is money. If you're turning game time into real life value it's a job, and it pays really poorly.

Yeah because when the alternative is to burn them, you really have choices.

Let's say you sold those books for 100 bucks and there was no way to get more out of it, then their value was simply 100 bucks, not 300 bucks if nobody will pay that for them....

Sold out after 1 minute.

I think we can say that was popular.

where was it even offered on the account page? i did not see any links leading to it and i still dont

It pays really poorly? Ok let me break down my long term personal ISK making plan, and we'll see how it stacks u

Time to play Eve per day for the next 1years: 2hrs/d

ISK Profit per day: Once things are rolling- Approx. 9.16Bil a d

Profit per month: 278.6B

278.6/10Bil ISK (per RL good worth ~200 dollars)=27.86 hypothetical nvidia car

27.86*$200= $5,572 of RL money a month for 60 Hours of play ti

Real Life Currency Gained per Year: $66,8
Gross Real Life Wage per Hour worked: $91.59 (66,684/730hrs per yea

This is just a hypothetical scenario, but honestly if CCP goes big time with this, and you figure out how I'm making 9bil a day then this pays EXTREMELY well.

If we assume that 10% of the EVE population knows how to make 10bil isk/day, and they could conceivably cash-in for $6000/month RL money.

I'd settle for 0.1% of the EVE population being able to convert isk at a truely horrific exchange rate for -ú1000/month in RL money.

Limited offers of -ú100 for 10b may be both unsustainable and inaccesible, but there must exist a ratio that could work if CCP were willing.

Obviously the exact numbers are debatable, but the basis of my point is still the same.
If people are able to turn ISK into RL money, people WILL figure-out how to make "OMG, WTF, PWN, L33T" amounts of ISK/hour. You and Jayden claim to be making these HUGE amounts of ISK in relatively short amounts of time. Let's assume that you are being honest about making 10bil in a day, do you really think the majority of the EVE player-base can't do the same thing as you do? It's some perfectly-guarded secret that will go with you to the grave, and others will never be able to figure it out? Get real. If RL money is on the line, people will make raking-in huge amounts of ISK their priority in the game. Consequently, with all these people making lots of ISK, there will be massive inflation of ISK. Your "0.1%" figure is completely ridiculous.

I'm sorry, but other gamers aren't going to pay anyone (except CCP) thousands of $ per month. Not gonna happen.

Nice pipe-dream though.

I may sound stupid here but aren't we all missing the key point in this argument that only 1 card is allowed per account? Even if you did start creating accounts just to buy the vid. cards I would imagine that CCP would institute some kind of minimum account age to buy them.
