Why is it we pay £9.99 for 30 days game time BUT you are charging £16.99 for a 30 day PLEX.

What is with this?
And why are all the game time card suppliers no longer selling 60 day gtc?

PLEX Cost more so the only reason to buy it is to sell it.

They can make extra money off of ISK buyers.

To sell it for isk, yea.
But at that price no way.. 60 day GTC can be selled for isk and only cost about £21, but no supplier has 60 day GTC anymore...
CCP you are getting greedy!

Probably an attempt to throttle the number of PLEX added into the game and prevent it being swamped somehow. Okay yeah that was a complete guess and I really have no idea as to why things are priced the way they are. What?

I'm also curious as to why they stopped the 60 day GTCs though, I can't find an official reason for it.

edit: I forgot to mention, this seemed to have been implemented when the whole Incarna/NeX store debacle began so maybe it's linked to CCP preparing for huge profits from potential clothing sales?

You said you were quitting, you dont need to worry about plex prices.
This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.  Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless

I don't think it is a typo or that they ran out of stock on 60 days...

Guess this is your last post then?

I am serious as well. But you won't stop posting.

And again, companies are driven by profit. Try to connect the dots.

Why should the price of plex matter if the only reason for it is to sell for isk? You're not supposed to buy it to use.

And why would anyone think you were doing anything but trolling when you say that you are quitting but you wanted to buy some plex to sell first? WTF would you be worried about selling plex for isk if you're quitting? Is your avatar really a reflection of yourself?

Ok attack me, i was hoping to buy a 60 day gtc for £21 to sell for 950 mill isk.
I discover CCP no longer does 60 day GTC but sells 2 plexs = 60 days for £30.

I say no to that, there is a line and CCP has crossed it with me on this one.
£30 for 60 day worth of plexes!! you could buy a game for that!

The reason wanted to buy a GTC for isk is because i don't have time to carebear to make isk, i want to logon pvp and that is that. I buy a 60 day GTC like evvery 1-2 months

Not an attack. Complete and utter confusion over why you give a **** about plex or isk when you maintaned that you are quitting.

Why the hell do you care what it cost, let alone why would you be bothered with selling it for isk, if your ******* quitting? The shear lack of sense or rationality in the act is mind boggling!

This would lead one to come to the conclusion, you're just looking for somthing to troll before your sub runs out.
Or you haven't actually cancelled.
