Oh an OT.
The real world finaciel crises hit's EvE.
People think twice before they spend real money for GTC just to buy ISK ;).
Less supley => higher price. |

They wanted to get more people paying them directly instead of using GTCs, which is exactly what you are planning on doing.
Just fyi, they DO get paid directly when you use a GTC, and this is the dumbest, tiredest, most ******ed statement ever.
Do you think the GTC's just pop up randomly for free?
No
SOMEBODY buys them, so CCP is paid for 60 days of game time by SOMEBODY, they simply allow players to turn that into ingame money.
SO, since this is hard to understand, I'll lay it out for you simply.
You have 2 accounts. You pay with GTCs bought from the forums or ingame market.
I have 2 accounts. I buy 4 GTC's every 60 days, 2 go to my accounts, 2 are sold on the forums (or ingame, w/e).
Just taking our four accounts into consideration, CCP is paid for 4 accounts every 60 days, only, I'm actually paying them for your account, and your paying me with ingame money for doing it.
In short, if you can't understand this, basic math skills may need attention. |

Just a little higher and it would be worth selling a GTC for imaginary monies. |

What's funny is that in most regions I've seen 30 day PLEXs on sale for less than 400m. But sure, go right on ahead and get overcharged by the people still using the forum. |

Indeed, much less than the ridiculous 700m figure quoted in the OP, no? Easier to pay in smaller installments. |

Good. The closer we get to 1 player = 1 account the better off we will be.

Eh? How is 360 (to say nothing of 400) for 30 days "much less" than 700 for 60 days? And if 700mil for two months is ridiculous and counts as being "overcharged", what does that make 800mil for the same time period? |

Thats a 30 day plex card that was converted from a 60 day is what you see in the market. What the op is talking about is the price of the 60 day gtc on sale in the timecode bazarr. Whats funny though is the op is hinting that his expired 3rd account will hurt eve when the fact is that ccp has already been paid for the gtc he can't afford to buy.  |

your getting confused, the op is talking about 60 days for 700mil, when u convert into an imgame plex it splits into two 30 day cards.
so 360 x 2 is 720mil for the 60 day period in the op |

I was about to lay into him for that as well, but, look what he says - people paying them DIRECTLY instead of using GTCs
GTC costs similar to regular sub - therefore, direct payment means more cash for CCP.

Man, for those of us who have jobs, it's time to buy buy buy!
Let's see, if I can get a nyx for what, 14B? That's only $600 worth of time cards!!!
.. or maybe i'll wait till they're 1.5B per $35usd. |

Is this the plan CCP saw when they implemented 60 day GTC's?
Money talks.
Probably more credit crunch in RL effecting those previously willing to blow a ton of cash on GTC to sell for in game ISK now things are tight they're after more bang for their buck.
