I am a seller of plex
My Job has me working 80+ hours a week.

I am lucky if I have 2 hours a week to play.
I am a casual Player
I pay for subscription every 3 Months for 3 account
I buy upto additional 9 plex to buy stuff so I can die in a horrid blaze of Glory as I am a Sucky Pilot.
I play the game to to have fun.
I am the worlds worst Industrialist.

With the money I spend, even though I am not active, I fund CCP development equal to 6 Subscriptions

Eve needs money to run its game, and people like me I provide the income so progression of fixes and expansions will continue with out me Eve would turn into You can Play Earth and Beyond a game that is trying to be rebuilt by volunteers

If there was not plex, RMT would be rampant. As If I had not been banned by then I would have been buying RMT Isk to fund my activities. Resulting in Bots taking up CPU and CCP getting none of my money.

You say that When I loose a ship it does not Hurt.
I have had to endure Extra long work hours, My wage sucks, to earn the cash.
When I buy something new, sure I may buy expensive stuff, unlike WOW, the Having the best gear does not mean I will win,

So it does hurt.





Someday I will have the time to play. For now it is mining afk in High sec. In Cheap ships

What is the point of all these in game professions if all players need to do is swipe the credit card and buy plex out of game then sell it in game for 500 million isk? It really takes away the edge of losing a ship and allows players to be more careless and unrealistic in pvp since they know that their isk "grows on trees". There is no pride in your profession, whether its salvaging, mining, or pirating/looting since all you have to do is just buy more isk when you run out. I believe that the selling of PLEX should be removed from the game.

NO, now go crawl back under your bridge little troll.

And I am fine with purchasing PLEX with in game isk. Just not selling it in game to other players. It should be purchased directly from CCP with in game money. It should have NO in game resell value.


CCP have buttons that make isk grow on trees. Hence no value there.

But rl moniez... that doesnt grow on trees.

0/10

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

It's too late now, the damage is done by PLEX. Love it or hate it, if CCP took away PLEX now, the game would die. That simple, it's here to stay.

What damage exactly?

Oh and this would mean that whatever damage you are referring too, has been happening since 2004. All the plex did, was simplify ETC/GTC sales.

I think he must mean damage to RMTers right? That's the only valid thing I can think of. Only an idiot would think PLEX is bad.

noone in these forums are idiots are they?

If you've never tried PvP in EvE it's quite possible you've missed out on one of the greatest rushes available in modern gaming.

plex makes eve a mix of sub based and F2P. Thats very unique in the industry and you could argue that it works perfectly in eve and its economy.

not to mention that i don't think that plex changes anything on the perceived value of ISK, on the contrary, i think if somebody loses a t3 bought via plex could rage quit faster than somebody who did some trading or pve to get the ISK for the ship.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

I honestly wouldn't worry if I were you. CCP management aren't utter idiots.

But that's just it - it's not a crime.

My newb 2 cents -

Was looking to buy ISK and found this thread instead and am now going to buy PLEX to sell.

Why buy ISK :

I was going to buy ISK because the whole benefit of EVE Online for me is I can level while busy at work and such, don't have the time to grind it out. I wanted to get enough to buy some implants so that I'm utilizing all that downtime appropriatly so I can catch up and just jump right in.

I understand OP's view, but ISK buying will happen because people like myself have money not time. This makes me feel less like a criminal and more like I'm furthering the game as a whole, one by paying CCP and two by giving the real dedicated players free play for their hard work.

Besides the fact that CCP probably are the singly best MMO company at catching RMT transactions and hitting your account with a ban and/or suddenly withdrawing all your purchased isk leaving you with a negative wallet. Buying ISK from 3rd party vendors with PLEX as a viable and legal alternative would be a special brand of stupid.

I am unemployed and can not afford PLEX. Due to not having a job, I sit and grind isk all day. I believe that the selling of PLEX should be removed from the game. If people want lots of isk they should quit wasting time in their rl jobs and become unemployed like me. Only the unemployed/welfare recipients should be successful in eve as the employed get to be successful in real life. Plex selling means these arseholes who contribute to society via taxes and hard work can have as much isk as my unemployed lazy arse. This doesn't seem fair. WHAHAHAHA

I think its pretty clear, plex=good

CCP is out to make money, its a business, not a charity.
Considering that in a business the single driving force is . . .MONEY
F2P games just use a different tactic to make their money, usually by saying their f2p but are really p2w.
What CCP has done with EVE is by far the best balance between making money for ccp, and keeping a balance for the players.
Sure you can sell plex you bought, but like people have said, shiny ships arent the end-all be-all advantage that most p2w players want.
First theres leveling, just because you can afford it doesnt mean you can use it.
Second there is module balance, yes the dead space module reps more, but it uses proportionately more cap.
Third there is ship balance (roughly) meaing, oh your in a 3bil battleship, well that means jack $**** when i point you and orbit under your guns.
Fourth, and my favorite, the longer you think there is a way to buy a button, that you push to win, the longer youll have your credit card out continuously flooding the market with cheap plex to replace your blingy waaah mobile that once again got popped by veteran pirates who just bought your cheap plex so they can keep playing indirectly off your money. Thats not only balance, thats the godd@mn circle of life! Its beautiful, absolutely brilliant.

Dont cry about people selling plex, they are the building blocks at the bottom of the food chain that feed the world that is EVE


disclaimers; i have sold a plex or two to buy my blingy ships, i dont pvp, and i pay a subscription. Sorry if i stepped on someones toes (the said vets)
