Then I buy 2 plex with real world money and never have to worry about ISK again.

Edit: Not sure about this part as never tried it, but if the can use PLEX from anywhere to extend your game time without having to be at the station, then the whole Goons and PLEX argument is irrelevant as far as I can see.


Yes, it's quite simple to add a PLEX to your game time from your assets whereever you are, you could be in a wormhole and the PLEX could be anywhere in the universe and still redeemable, they don't have to move to be used.

This is very very easy my friend...

1. Find stupid people.
2. Talk to them and ask them intelligent questions and for same in comment.
3. Do this until their mind is racing, and the tell tail sign "the deer cought in the headlights look"
4. Tell them if they give you something you will go away and stop asking them things.
5. They give you something, you take it and go, they are happier and so are you.. win-win.

I typed Froof into the forum search and I ended up here. Why are we talking about PLEX?

The point of this thread was to warn players of more goon treachery. One way or another the player base needs to stand up to these bullies and put an end yto their mob rule mentality.

that 15tn isk figure you're quoting was the total amount of ISK taken from key PL characters

Word from where? Assuming this isn't complete bullshit that's actually good news. You should hoard plex until next month if you think your source is reliable.

Make a contract labeled as a deimos with a thorax in it. You can also label a contract as 100,000 tritanium for 4isk each, but it's actually 4 tritanium for 100,000 isk each. You'd be surprised how many people don't pay attention when they buy stuff. Not sure if either of those still work, but they used to be popular. I just came back. Haven't happened across any scams yet. I haven't tried either one myself. I prefer stealing with violence.

This is a sandbox. Deal with it.

Your ability to purchase PLEX directly from CCP is not hindered. You have no other guarantees.

What is the end result of stamping out events like this? It will be a boring ass game where nothing unexpected ever happens and QQ forum PvP rules the day.

We will see I guess. I still say that the prospect of Goons actually impacting Jita in some significant way are slim.

Privateers laying siege to Jita for weeks was impressive. I don't think the goons will be able to top that.

It's goon smoke and mirrors. Trickery and talk. End of April may be more fizzle than pop.

You have 27 days to buy up a PLEX. Or two. Come on man, you are so convinced this is the truth - you will double your ISK! Let's put 2 PLEX on it. I say the median price of PLEX in EVE Online will not exceed 1 billion on the 28th of April 2012, in any timezone. You disagree - you said it will be between 1 and 2 billion on the 28th of April, 2012.

Now - let's see how confident you are of this. Do you accept the wager and can we organise Chribba?


I you put a Lemonade Stand in front of your house, and work there for 10 days, making 2 a day, you can buy Plex, fix your froof and get some honer. As you say, be smart and sell it for 2 bill/plex after Goons do their Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious scheme. Or you could sell cookies.

Done, signature edited with perfection!...

Ok guys, I admit it, we're not really going to invade Jita we're just threatening to do so in order to drive up plex prices in order to help out our CCP allies to generate a profit so they will turn a blind eye to our secret hacking of people's accounts through acquiring their api keys....

And we would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for the OP! Our plans.... foiled again!

Lets hope PLEX prices go up that would be a nice change of pace. The price has been dropping for weeks. I sold one a month ago for 550,000,000 and now they are around 500,000,000 if you look for them but most seem to be around 470,000,000.

I have a few PLEX I have been sitting on waiting for the price to go up, hope the goonies are successful.

Perhaps it's been asked previously and I missed it, if so my apologies.

Riddle me this:

If the Goons bought up all the available PLEX, why would they need to blow them up?

The act of buying them up would have the desired effect of driving up prices, and then they would have them on hand to profit off of once the price reached a high enough level.

You haven't really thought this troll through very well have you?
