Well someone, who shall remain unnamed has buying plex like they were going out of style, he decieded to make more ISK off them, so he buys and resells them, he does this to make a nice profit, despite what you hear these days, profit is not now or ever has it been a dirty word.

I do not plex, I like my games to be fun and working for isk to play sounds like, wait for it, wait for it, work!! I do support the people making the plex cost go up so high, and hope it soon tops a billion ISK. I cannot imagine the tears of the people who have to pay 1 billion!!

oh and btw, i agree with the free market. but plexs are bought with real money and sold for isk, So ccp should keep the price's more even, this isent like someone trying to scam buy a fighter.

Here's how i see it
1. CCP has royally ****** this game up to where the little guy gets ****** over

2. CCP needs to fix their **** up and help the new players not the ******* larger alliance who control the game and just cause they are the biggest alliances in the games doesnt mean they get the only voice in this game

3. Fix the god damn plex prices this is stupid just cause you want to earn a few bucks and forget about your player base wow CCP ******* WOW!!!

4 and final MAKE ALLIANCES HAVE A MAX NUMBER *snip*

ALSO I LOVE PANDAS *snip*



Limiting alliance numbers won't solve anything, we've been there done that in the old days

why should they? CCP puts a real dollar value on the plex, the players are left alone to put an ISK value to the plex, sounds to me like it is what should happen where the players control the economy.. Just saying, why do you need ccp to hold your hand? There is a very easy way to lower the price of plex, the question is, do you and other plexers want to make it drop by using this?

Ya I saw that this morning. Saw a few selling for 618 in jita and next thing only ones left are ones around 620.. Someone is controlling the plex market. Now is that CCP? or a player?

If you can't afford the PLEX ingame, just pay the 15 bucks, cheapskate. That's two hours mowing someone's lawn, delivering pizza or whatever... you'll handle it.

Or you know, earn the ISK ingame over the course of 20 hours grinding missions. Whatever floats your boat.

im guessing you dont have a life a family or anything other than eve. some of us do, we understand that the market is a free market but the fact is still the higher plexes go then the less people will play this game. in end enough players quite eve then eve will die even for all those on this forum that want to say suck it up and deal with it.

CCP could step in and make some changes if they wanted to. To all those that pay to play the game and buy plexes i will say thank you for that becuase they are the ones that are keeping the game going. but how long will they stay if the players they like to shoot at or as some call them easy kills leave. I have been in big alliances and know that there are alot of eve players that use plex to play the game, so what happens when people like goon or test loose alot of there players to the high prices of plex.

I have spent plenty of money on this game in the past and at one point paid for 6 accounts out of pocket. i also bought plex a couple times a month for rl money to have in game money becuase well i was lazy and didnt have the time to grind for the money.
but the economy around the world is bad people are out of jobs and spending your rl money on means to survive instead of a hobby is just plain smart. so to end this banter im not worried about myself as much as i am other players that i am friends with in game that may not have it as good as others in this game. they are still good people and well fun to have in pvp and other things in eve.

If you can't afford $15 a month for an account, you shouldn't be playing eve, you should be out getting a job. Simple as that. If money is really that tight for you and you're spending your time playing a video game, quit playing and get your life together.

I fail to see how not been able to afford $15 a month means that you dont have a job.

If it was me, they would be at a billion. Why **** around with 4% spikes? I'm not an oil company. Go 40% and watch the fur fly.

1. ok again i have a good job and a family amoung other things i have to pay for in rl. im not like all the people on here that keep trying to tell me to get a better job or that i should stop playing this game. i have my real life in check, im not some spoiled little kid that has no bills or a extreamly wealthy person. but telling people that the need to get better jobs cuz they cant afford rl money for a game is just plain wrong.

2. i can afford 15 dollors a month but if i can make the isk in game why would i want to pay for it. this is a concept that alot of games are going to. eve has its way to pay for it in game but i dont have the time to spend huge chuncks of a day grinding to make enough money to pay for my accounts. so for everyone in this channel that thinks i cant afford to pay for this game and 15 a month is not that much for you then just send me the money and pay for my game time and everyone in eves since you guys have so much rl money to waste on a game.

$15 is three coffees from Starbucks. It's the difference between buying name-brand and store-brand breakfast cereal. It's clipping coupons when you buy groceries. It's getting basic cable instead of expanded basic cable. (Or -- gasp! -- just not having cable TV at all.) It's one night out at the movies.

If you're finding it hard to swing that amount of cash a month, then maybe computer gaming shouldn't be your first priority right now. Especially if you're trying to maintain a family.

You do realize that in some countries around the world $15 is a huge amount of money and you being rude as s**t about it shows how incapable you probably are of thinking past your own fat rich leisurely lifestyle I would guess.

I am amazed how rude people can be about other people’s income!!! Go live in a country where the average wage is 200 – 500 dollars a mounth or less and have someone tell you you are a worthless piece of **** and should get a better job (at Burger King), just to get a feel for it!

The argument that if you can’t afford, you should not play, I can understand but the amount of big mouth BS around it is amazing. (not only directed at the quoted person above but all of you)

To the OP, CCP tries to regulate PLEX prices with PLEX sales but there is only so much they can do!

PLEX sales have been happening more and more regularly these days and still price rises. Basically for each PLEX you get for your toon someone has to pay real money and there is only so much that people can spend.

So probably EVE will lose some players as a consequence but there is no simple solution.

Anyway, I will end my rage post by saying I understand your concern but do agree that at the end of the day the monthly fee of $15 is the price you are expected to pay and if you are not doing this then you are hoping someone else is through PLEX and that is dangerous for your future in EVE when PLEX price rises.
