Someone has to be doing it, who are you? I want to give a big thank you to you. Because you buy PLEX I don't have to spend my, very limited, RL money on my sub so once again Thank You. |

Incursions in a full shiny fleet, officer/deadspace and Tech 2 fit Machs, Nightmares with Widow jammers. With TVP we generally clear 3-4 HQs in an hour for 90-120mil ISK/hr |

Serene Repose wrote:Once again, if the sub for EVE is a small fortune to you, maybe you need to get some sense of the value of money. If it were 30USD a month, it'd be a bargain. If you can't afford that, maybe you need to be in some sort of job training, education advancement, or learning simple social skills so you can get into the economy. Living on sofa change must be depressing.
I don't really see why this post was needed nor did I say it was a small fortune (hyperbole is fun isn't it?) but I guess I'll respond in kind
I wouldn't expect you to know this but not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their hand. I had, or rather was made to get, my first "job" at 15 doing concrete work for a close friend, off and on maybe working 2 days a week. Got a "real" job working at Best Buy at age 17, which is pretty extraordinary but they had to hire me since they had no minors working for them and they could be sued for discrimination (this fact was made very clear to me at my time of hiring). At age 18 I was told I had 6 months to save up find a roommate and find an apartment. I found both and I was living on a pretty good wage making about 13$ an hour. But keep in mind this was still only part time about 30 hours a week and after taxes I take home about 15k a year
But then comes the hard part, health insurance is about 100 a month, car insurance is only 50 since I'm still on my parents policy to save us all money. Rent is about 500 a month car payment is about 200 a month now thats about 10,200 a year. I don't pay my food bill, thankfully, my parents do pay that. But after all my expenses I take home extra about 100$ a month half of which immediately goes into a savings account for emergencies. Oh and also going to a Junior College is sort of expensive, good thing I get half of that paid for through scholarship and financial aid
But anyway before you make a comment and offhandedly insult someone try to think deeper of their financial situation. No I'm not living on sofa change but 15$ a month can be spent on something more important. Though I still don't know why you felt you needed to post that in a thread thanking people but based on your posting history I guess you're just that kind of person. |

Somebody needs to teach you how to make a point
You'd make your "no silver spoons here" argument so much more valid if you omitted scholarship and "my parents pay for that" bits.
Sorry I thought the fact that I was told "its time for you to leave" at age 18 was good enough, apparently it isn't. They pay my food bill, big deal, its not like they're giving me a full ride. I also believe in honesty and deceit by omission is still lying. Though I don't think lying is much worse than disregarding an entire paragraph because of one sentence.
Also last time I looked they didn't just hand out scholarships you actually had to work for those, I could be wrong though. |

Tear Miner wrote:OP posts smug troll about how he doesn't use RL cash to play Eve.
OP gets trolled.
OP gets offended and posts sob story about his RL trials and tribulations.
This thread is going places.
Again, what is the point of a post like this in a thread thanking people? |

OP is mad because he spent all of his time in EVE instead of getting a decent job and now he can't afford a PLEX.
I think I'll go buy a PLEX or 30 just because I can.
I don't even understand where I said I was mad nor do I recall ever stating that I couldn't afford PLEX but whatever. You obviously lack the most basic of reading comprehension and I am sorry for you. |

MotherMoon wrote:I have bought plex before I gave away a lot of money to new players a while back though lol.
I think of it like i could.
A.pay for 2 accounts at once for 30$ a month to make extra money by putting in a ton of work. OR i could pay 15$ for 350 million isk. And not run a 2nd account.
I only do this once a year usually when I'm starting back up in eve. Right now though I got last fanfest years shirt so we'll see how that market is doing. :P
What I do is I pay for accounts A and B with PLEX and account C I pay monthly for. Looking at starting up an account D for quad-boxing incursions. |
