to bad it was what, only 1000 for sale atm?

i wopuld hope they do more events like this, so that eventually players who are too poor in real life to get graphics cards to keep playing eve, can at elast find a way to upgrade their computers so that eve can continue upgrading their engine and whatnot without fear of alienatinga lot fo players (besides those that have cheap omputers AND are caual, they woudl be out of luck, but seriously, casual people log on so rarely woudl anyone even miss them? especially with all the plex everyoen else is buying to sell on market so that others can get graphics cards).

All it does is increase demand in Plexes.

The deal is bad if you account for $$ -> Plex -> Videocard.
But if you have a lot of isk/bot why not RMT it into a videocard.

point 1) this would be terribelf ro RMT, resale on videocards is never very good.
point 2) the second PLEX starts spiking out fo control, you know wahts going to happen? MORE PEOPLE WILL BUY PLEX which will even out the supply/demand and lower the price somewhat.
point 3) i wanted three points but coudlnt for the life of me come up with a third point

It's an offer.

Take it or leave it.

And since from what I heard there are only 100 for offer, if you are going to take it you'd best have the plex in your acct already. As well as be really fast when it goes live. They will go within minutes, I'm guessing.

Mr Epeen Cool


They will start with 100. They aren't going to do the work needed to get that program working just to do 100 cards. They will want to make it atleast a regular thing.

There is a limit on how much can be spent in RL to buy PLEX.

well, there is apparently a surplus right now anyways, as there are still always some on the market, and the higehr the isk you get the mroe desirable they seem, so the more will eb bought adn put on the amrket.

anyone who cant shell out 20 bucks a month for a PLEX to sell on amrket (not sayingt ehy SHOULD, just whether or not they ahev the ability) si obviosuly in financial trouble and should consider letting their accounts go ianctive until they egt a job that makes more then 4-digits a year.

It has to be a rate of less than 20$ per billion ISK because otherwise people could just create a noob account, buy ISK from illegal sources and use it to buy the graphic card. You could buy a graphic card which is worth 150$ for 100$ if ccp would offer it for 10 PLEX. This would be a massive problem. Even people who don’t play EVE would be interested in abusing that system.

Also you should not expect to actually get one of those graphic cards. There are probably thousands of players interested in buying it for 20 PLEX. It will be sold out in seconds. Maybe ccp should make it possible to apply for a graphic card and then randomly choose 100 winners.

Graphic Card for PLEX thing and thought wow, this is awesome, finally i will be able to use all the isk laying around in my wallet to do something useful for me

do way more fair prices on this deal


You get to pay in-game ISK for something that you cannot afford with real $$$ and complain that it is not sold at the same value?

I understand you lose the opportunity to use the ISK for a PLEX sub; but fuckit. You get something you can't afford in real life for it. And if you have the ISK to blow on this, you will be able to make that back easily enough again.

So honestly, I don't get what you're unhappy about. You cannot afford the graphics card as things stand now except by using a video game currency.

Personally, I can't wait until one of my guys suicide ganks a ship full of PLEX again. It'll be like finding a video card in the loot can.
