i really think eve is terribly broke, in a number of ways, but this is not the discussion

my question is - who pays for eve out of their real hard earned money?

i use to, 2 years ago, but not now, i just buy plex's, eve is not worth £30 p/m for my 3 accounts, eve is to broke and boring


once my isk has been deplited , good buy eve

If you could sub Eve with butthurt, OP would never have to worry about money/PLEX again.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Ummmm....I didn't really get the point of this thread.

But, as to the question I think was asked, I currently pay with real money. Haven't started L4ing hard enough to pay for my EvE with plex.


I blame my friends, so much LoL.

I pay for one account... fifty cents a day. Beyond that, well, If I don't have the isk I don't play.. and I used to run three accounts but Incarna changed my thinking and I have yet to think that I should go back to that 'job' that I called EVE. I now play EVE as a game.

That's about what I expect from an alliance called "Third to None".

i pay for all three of them with real money since i can't make 500++m isk in less than two hours, but i can make 15 euros in that time in a crappy paid college job

An even better question:

Who is paying CCP for plex that they then sell for isk. Because THANK YOU ~~ plex are getting more expensive, but hey, that's supply and demand for ya.

When I get bored with EVE I log out and go play something else. When I hit the cancel Sub they ask for feedback and I tell them it's boring.

Do I pay sub pr plex it?
None of your business.

See where I am going with this?

None of your *snip* business.

Seems like you sub, since people that plex don't cancel their sub, they just let it run out, so yeah I see what you're getting at.

EVE is Boring Online.

plexing.

but.. with the plex prices this high and perhaps getting over the 600m isk it will be definately harder to do.

I just realised that as a CCP employee I'm being terribly underpaid.

People same the fail to understand the game is as exciting as YOU make it.

YOU make Your your game in a SandBox type game... If it becomes boring it is due to your lack imagination and your secret desire that your really like to be spoon fed from point A to B like all those WOW players...

..and pansies.

Had to add that last part since most pansies require somebody dictating how their life should be.

20 quid a month for a couple of accounts is nothing to me.

That means I get to log in and do what I want to do -pvp- and not waste precious pew time ratting or w/e.

I bought 3 GTC's total for 4 accounts in 4 years.

I love funding nullbears with PLEX. It's like helping ******** kids or something do-goodish like that.

If you got loads of spare isk then yes, plex are a GOOD BUY ;)

But if you have to grind isks to pay for accounts it's a total waste of time.
Grind-to-Play is a terrible idea. Especially for 3 accounts. If you do that you're doin' it wrong!



And since nobody asked yet:
Can i have your stuff?
