Hi

Over the last two weeks PLEX prices have jumped to over 600 million ISK and of course in true EvE Online style, the Part time players who protest when anything gets expensive, run to the forums and ***** and moan about PLEX prices.

So here my advice to you and proof that if you can't make the money, go back to Hello kitty Online. I am married with 4 kids and work a full time job from home and often go out on site. So i do not sit here non stop.

I have 4 accounts and 3 OF THEM are paid for by PLEX. I do not spend a penny more on EvE Online than i have to, your question will be, why? Why do you need 4? the answer is simple

1. Ice Miner - This nets me anywhere from 50-80mil a day on my third screen mining from normally downtime till around 2am whilst i work from home, occasionally drops if i have to go out on site.
2. PvP Char - training non stop PvP skills
3. exploration tengu/mission pilot - lvl 4 whore in a tengu - easy 100mil a day in 4 hours
4. off grid booster training to be a capital pilot

My average income a week is about 2 bilion ISK give or take a few hundred (no i dont care who knows, its just me n rl mates who play as a team) No interest in moron corps run muppets

BUCK UP - The simple answer is i do not play in null, i do not run sleeper sites much and i do not pvp all that much.

if you want to have multiple accounts, learn how to utilize those accounts to make maximum ISK instead of wasting ISD time having to lock stupid pointless threads about PLEX prices. Learn, learn learn 2 play

its that simple, eve is player driven, if prices go up, adapt or die, its as simple as that

mmmmmkay?

L2moan peeps moan and fw is nerfed to stop plex prices
http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=73491

" At the same time we have begun to see the more significant effects of the newly wealthy FW players flexing their economic muscles. Although FW is not an isk faucet and does not generate any additional isk in the economy, the influx of cheap LP store items has caused a crash in the income of some mission runners and the concentration of wealth has contributed to the rising price of PLEX on the open market. Players stockpiling PLEX have simply been responding to the economic incentives at the time in good faith, but the price rise has affected the gameplay experience for those who rely on PLEX every month for their subscription. CCP is working via a variety of methods to bring the price of PLEX down, and FW has been identified as an area that can help the process along.

Faced with the dual problems of FW stagnation and PLEX inflation we saw an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Team Game of Drones is still in the process of completing the FW changes for Retribution, but the specific features we already have completed internally are ones we believe will have a significant positive impact on Factional Warfare right here and now."

I make 60-90M ISK/hr running incursions, depending on how many potheads we have in fleet at any time. Why would I waste the power required to run an ice miner all day?

I thought about it.

I believe that, when we all troll dumb threads together,
they get locked faster and we have less dumb threads to deal with.

The counter idea is that threads actually turn into dumb threads because we troll them,
but the outcome is, either way, all the same.

It leaves only the good threads, while we can have fun no matter what !


I'll have a smoke now.

(edit: dumb is the wrong word i guess ... but too often the same topics come up every few days -.-)

Continuing from the FW poster above, I think CCP should have stopped the FW isk printing machine the very day the printing machine began.

Isk has always been isk = reward but also it should be time and effort put in = reward.

Examples :

Making robotics from PI in a C3 with low static - I did this over 8 accounts in WSpace and it was long & hard work to make the billions I was making.

The time I took and risk awarded me that isk and I think that's fine.

However FW is too easy to make isk for such little risk. The same can be said of level 4 mission runners, running around in 10+ billion isk battleships.

level 4s shouldn't award people with tens of billions because the risk - uhm there is no risk in lvl4s :D

But they don't - the reward is on nowhere near the same scale as farming FW, and the effort required is much better and "alt-scalability" much less. Level 4 missions, are, frankly balanced. The only change it might be useful to introduce would be a reduction in mission isk payouts and increase in LP payouts to curb inflation.

That sounds a lot like you believe that noone ever had a multi-billion ISK mission boat exploded out from under them.
