for a person that wants to buy a plex just for game time its £7 more than just buying it direct? WHY!!!!!?????? just tell me that for god sake.

Why don't you just buy your game time directly then, instead of using PLEX? For that purpose, the direct way is clearly superior.
Buying PLEX for real money still has a use case, since you can sell them ingame for Isk.

I really don't see an issue here xD

...pretty much everything. Have you never heard the expression "rip-off Britain"? It's really nothing new getting completely screwed on prices in this part of the world. Deal with it or emigrate - those are really our only two options.

No, your rights end in optimal+2*falloff

For the exact same reason that a greasy microwaved bacon bap on a train costs about £6, or a Pint costing twice as much as a normal pub when at an event. People pay for convenience (in this case, RM -> ISK) and there is nothing wrong with it. CCP is giving you a choice of ways to sub your account. They are a business after all.

If you could only use plex to renew your subscription, then I think your argument would have more substance, but as it stands, it seems like you are not realizing the simple truth, that you do not have to buy plex, so why get so angry about their prices?

I pay for everything I buy online in Euros.

It's usually more expensive than the US equivalent.

That's just how things are.

Stop whining.

PLEX is more than just game time, it's convertible to ISK, redeemable for Aurum, redeemable for character resculpt and multiple character training. There is also the convenience of redeeming it for game time at your leisure. It makes sense for it to be more expensive than a month of gameplay for the sheer versatility.

You're being belligerent, rude and spoiled.

I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

Look at my previous post.

If you don't like CCP's business model, then please, do us all a favour and quit.


The more expensive the plex, the better imo. Prefer the idea of people having to earn the ISK rather than buying it with real cash

again why is it so much more for plex in the UK than in US? either answer question or dont bother. seriously dont.

Its not the same at all as a bap for god sake lol. its a virtual item. there is no convienence its the exact same process to purchase a plex than it is to purchase a 30 day renewal. no quicker no easier an certainly no more benefit.

jesus you guys simply dont get it. i didnt realise it would be so difficult. but hey its eve players what more can i expect than a bunch of apes

Taxes. This has already been explained.

Why is it we know why it is the way it is and you don't, if we don't get it? You're confusing us with you. And no, it really shouldn't be so difficult for you to understand something everyone else understands with such ease.

If their is no convienience to you involed, then, why are you buying plex over direct subscription? And why are you getting so mad about it?

Who cares why stuff costs more or less in another country. If it bothers you that much, move to America. Or cancel your sub, or preferably both.

OP is of course correct.

UK players have always got the **** end of the stick & we always will. Just be thankful we're not getting ripped off by being forced to pay monthly subs in Euros (we were for several years, meant we paid 20% more than Euro peeps and 45% more than US) and don't buy PLEX. If CCP want to **** you over (as they do) then why give them more money than you have to?
