I guess now is the time to thank the OP and others like him, who buy my PLEX.
This way we both can play the game the way we want to.
This method of balancing the time/money availability between customers is ace. |

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.
Apart from all that, a MMO subscription is some of the cheapest entertainment - dollar for dollar - there is. It is much smarter to play a MMO than to spend every weekend out, etc. if you are on a shoe string budget.

I also used one to upgrade my alt's account from a trial cause I'm too cheap to pay the $5 upgrade fee. Sold PLEX, sent money to alt, bought PLEX back. Wait... What? Do you not speak English? I do speak English, that is why I don't understand why you would do something like that. Nothing makes any sense to me.
So, you bought a $15 dollar Plex and used it to upgrade account because you were too cheap to fork out $5? Then you went on to sell another Plex to send ISK to your alt, so he can buy another Plex? |

You're wrong my friend. Consider the alternative, there are NO plex at all and there are only subs. Now, players with an established high income source will have no incentive at all to continue their activities after a certain wallet size. They will stop looking at market opportunities f.i. Remote stations would not be supplied as much and there will be less supply in general. Result, (massive) deflation making player (aside the said super rich) more risk averse.
Players who convert PLEX to isk generally use the isk which is good. Consider a player who spends a plex or 2 on PVP activities, that's at least a few fights per account EVE will see less if this option wasn't available. Multiply this by the x number of PLEX buying accounts and you'll see that EVE will become a very dull place.
Then there are the options for people who can't affort the sub, they would be forced to leave simply because they can't pay. And the opposite, players with little RL free time who with the help of PLEX can still add something to the EVE universe.

Thread should be renamed, 'Who buys overpriced PLEX from CCP!?'
Everyone should know the best way to buy PLEX is through SOMER BLINK at shattered crystal
Not only does Shattered Crystal sell PLEX much cheaper than CCP does, you get a referal code to use at SOMER BLINK for free credit to gamble with and hopefully gain more isk. My homeboys tried to warn me But that butt you got makes me so horny |

This is perfectly great until that BLINK incentive lures me in and I'm suddenly in a situation where I need to buy more PLEX.
Long story short - it ends when I don't have a house or a machine with which to play EVE. Remembers, fly Frigates - Capsuleers are more tenacious than baseliner crews.-á |

Well, be 'smart' and use the free credit to try and win stuff to convert to isk
it may be upsetting for me that i 'only won' two helios with my 500M isk on SOMER, but that was 500M isk i was given for free, so its still a net gain.

You're welcome.
And thank you for supplying me with the ISK I need to buy ships to blow you up with. Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

Plex = -ú16.99 = 500 mill isk
Grinding L4's. what..10 mill isk per hour?
Incursions. 100 mill per hour? Don't know, those guys give me the creeps.
And like all PvE it requires a certain skillset/equipment that is no use to me in my preferred gameplay.
The Lobsters' meatspace avatar is on roughly -ú15 per hour.
Not hard, is it.
TBH, I use a bought few plex as market capital, then at least double them and spend it on explodey ships.
If I could be arrsed, I could probably plex from trading, but even that seem too much like hard work. |

8 a year roughly on top of Subs and for people like the OP. If I fluked and became rich next week I doubt I'd buy those Plex but I'd still pay sub. It's only money. |

LOL
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. |

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 |

You sir, are very welcome. Because you buy my PLEX, I don't have to spend my, very limited, RL time making ISK. "....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced." |

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. |

I also would like to thank those who sell their PLEXes on market :) Never publish your kills/losses, it's nothing more than a useful information for your enemies.
