Bah, humbug!

There are so many players, myself included, with billions on ISK stockpiled. This makes price fluctuations of a few hundred mill irrelevant. The ones that can afford them will buy them. Period.

I just find it fascinating that there are so many sellers...

I already sub for both my accounts. RL money comes faster than ISK right now, especially this time of year. The overtime I got yesterday is a 3-month sub, and lunch for a month on top of that.

Really? God damn that's sad.


After 6-7+ years of playing Eve and after pretty much doing everything, I can't seem to get into it anymore. At times I want to but that quickly fades.

Also being US and usually my play time is 6am-11am EST doesn't help either.


Was more about trolling a game forum for a game you dont really play anymore... More like "Why?" Play a few games for a few years dont "troll" the forums. (If it doesnt make you happy or doesn't make you money why burn calories?) But then again who the hell am I to judge?

I'm sure most Battleship captains are used to paying that much frequently. So they don't mind paying the extra ISK if they can pay more.

But to be honest, I think getting a few extra hours at work is better than spending much more time grinding for ISK in game.

What ever the price will be for PLEX, you all are paying for mine so......*shrug*...

Once you think you have it all, you have actually become ignorant towards everything else.

If youre grinding ISK to pay for your game instead of finding a real decent work, youre doing it wrong IRL.

I always thought PLEX is there mainly for people trying to buy victory and have more pew in bigger hulls, I only met a few children nerds who are too useless to make money to pay with.

When people make over $175/hour, grinding in-game for ISK is silly when you can just work for an hour and buy billions. I'd rather work for an hour and spend $30 for my five minutes of work or whatever for my two accounts. Which I've canceled anyway.

I always paid cash for my subs. Had four when I was playing. Tomorrow I will have none. Always wondered why it's supposed to be so cool to plex your subscriptions with isk. Somebody has to put some cash into the game or there won't be a game. Not that I'm all that bothered by the thought, but I might want to come back one day.

This game is cluttered with people who want to convince themselves that they're better than other players for reasons x or y. Just like most other games and real life. I've gone back to playing solo pc games and have much more peace of mind now. Plus lots more time to live real life. MMOs are not for me.

I would probably start buying PLEXes instead of paying sub if they dropped below 50-100M or so. I would start buying PLEXes with cash and converting to ISK if they rise to about 1b.

(Translation: $10 is a trivial amount for me to pay for a subscription, but $17 is still not trivial enough to buy virtual money with at the current rate.)

Unfortunately, my ex-wife and mortgage company both refuse ISK as payment, so my RL earnings are required elsewhere...

This is exactly correct. Grinding in RL for RL money nets me more ISK than grinding internet spaceships for ISK, with the side effect that I get to also buy cool RL things like food and hookers.

Also I am really bad at Eve and can't even begin to cover what I blow through on misguided purchases.
