EVE General Discussion

Grr markets. How dare people other than me use them. It's probably just one evil rich guy....

It's getting pretty ridiculous... Can't even plex my main account, CTA's, hostiles in local, fleets etc. take lots of game time and doing this+ grinding 1b+ isk is too much.

My CONTROLLER for RC plane = two years of eve sub. I don't even want to think the cost per hour of usage comparison. Toss in vintage motorcycles into the mix.... insanity. If these people who think 15 bucks a month is too much, try insuring a large displacement sport bike.....



And that is the issue. Farming etc has resulted in an expectation for rate of earning. It isn't fun because people expect too much simply because some broken forms of income result in high yields. Drives up operational costs, more time spent less fun or lack of time is lack of funds to match the meta.

This game needs more lazy wealthy people.

But how a lazy person can be welthy? Isn't that oxymoron?

Not really. It is feeding off the greed of others, or having others do the work for you and taking a cut.

In eve, it is things that get you stuff you can get for isk with minimal effort. Is an issue, high earning is because it is consistent and predictable, aka broken.

I think that Eve has become a capitalist society, CCP want too much for plex lets face it, in the UK a plex is £16.99 which is £7.00 more than the monthly sub which has prompted the plex sellers to sell at a high price.

Plex prices do not affect me because I sub my 2 accounts. All I have done is read what most of the plex buyers are saying and I have come to the conclusion that we will see numbers drop yet again. CCP should listen to the people who plex their account, it does seem as if they are being ignored.

We will see lots of people cancel their 2nd and 3rd accounts because they are no longer able to generate much profit for the player, I get that people can diversify and go into other areas of the game like FW, WH etc.

Has CCP made any statement about revising the real life cost of plex?

I ask this because I can see this game being ruined, Level with me here, why is the RL plex price an extra 70% on top of the sub price?

Seems reasonable.

Indeed, as I've said in a previous post, plex was only designed to stop people creating RL businesses with a warehouse full people grinding/selling isk for real life cash. It seems CCP missed the opportunity to sell isk for many years while these isk for cash businesses made bank. The bonus was that people with a limited RL budget could use in-game currency to sub their game.

I think there were many mmo games that suffered from isk for cash businesses. Is CCP trying to recoup lost isk sales for all the years they didn't sell plex? If they are then this is a bad practice which will make the people with a limited RL budget stop playing, the knock-on effect would be the plex for isk sellers will have no customers and maybe their game will become limited because they use plex to pvp and they may not be bothered to grind.

I would suggest a petition thread is started and all the people who want the RL cost of plex reduced should sign it. I think lots of people would sign the petition if they have their eyes open and can see where the game is headed. Not signing this suggested petition will mean the game could sail into treacherous waters.

I'm telling you man I love Eve with a passion and I want to see it run for another 20 years, I'll always be here paying my sub and I know there are many like me. CCP please don't ruin my game by bad business practices.

Yours Faithfully.

Who is going to give you those dank kill mails cause they were too **** to dock up when you entered local?
Lazy kids are the content for the PVPers.

Its funny no one sees this. If you ONLY have plex sellers and let the in game buyers rot, who are you going to catch in anoms?
Who will you catch in a WH farming for their plex?

Come on people.

3b isk is a reasonable price for plex... if 80% of the population are chinese bot farmers.
