You're welcome

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.

A few plex enter the market from people that know how to play but don't have old toons. They buy implants, meta 4's, and get a bank roll.

I bought a few to get myself going again when I came back to the game. Gotta pay for skills and implants somehow, right? 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.

How do you earn your ISK?

You're welcome. If you are a taxpaying American the thanks is mutual because you pay for my salary.

What he said

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.

Wait... What?

This is the main reason mining sucks as a profession. Or any ISK generating profession short of Incursions, for that matter.

Why play the game as intended when you can buy a half billion ISK for $15.00 (or whatever they cost now).

PLEX selling on the open market for ISK is ruining the game, period. Get rid of it or make it tradable for gametime only to the original buyer. Same for GTCs as well.

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.


But anyway there is quite an air of negativity around here now. Lets get this post back onto topic, just bought another PLEX for my second account so whoever I bought it from thanks a lot but you could lower your price a bit :P greedy badger

What? Negativity? ..never. I'm quite a happy individual. Insane maybe, but happy.

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.

Do you not speak English?

Yeh you're right, it would be totally reasonable to ask me to pay $1,440 per year for a VIDEO GAME

Mr Epeen

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.

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.

Snip.

I don't think you quite understand gambling addiction.

Or sarcasm.

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.

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.

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.

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

Grinding L4's. what.10 mill isk per hour?
