id just say this...

500m too much ? no1 forcing you to pay that
15$/months goes against your principle? no1 is forcing you to pay that


who gives a crap isk/hour and **** everyone will have their own perception and ideas etc...



no1 is forcing you to do anything you don't want, you even said, you dont like the idea of spending 15$/month for being so bored!!

maybe its time to look into another game?


to make it absolutely clear...

no1 is forcing you


speed edit: for newbies and new characters etc... no1 is forcing them

Wait, are you really so stupid as to not know that High Sec Incursions make 100 milion an hour?


Oh ya I was born full of all the knowlage i will ever need in life and in all matters eve related you stupid boy. So you are suggesting that I commit 1 hour a day to doing incursions to make 100 mill isk and repeat that for 5 days to obtain a plex. HOLY COW why oh why are the other 49,999 players logged on to eve not doing this. OMG it s so simple. no wait al of us must be morons for not doing it.

Truly what is making me laugh here is your ability to make your self look like a compleat fool all by your self with out any help from any one.

Shall I repeat my self.

Your talking out of your ass dude and you know it.

Are you suggesting that only 1 person IN THE ENTIRE GAME runs Incursions?
Because I actually do run Incursions and i can tell you there are a probobly 500 on BTL Pub and 300 or so on The Ditanian Fleet plus more who just show up to the Incursions without being on those channels.

I suggest you get a job, or not because even unemployment benefits will allow you to spend $15 on a game. Oh but wait, you find the game boring but you insist on playing it to complain about PLEX prices

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

If $15 is too much for you maybe you should quit gaming and focus on the real world money game. Buying PLEX makes me play when I don't feel like it, to farm isk, so I pay for a sub and don't worry about it.

Funny whine post though.

I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs.

i'm one of the plex prices is too low 16'666'666.67 a day ,thats rounded up to the full isk, is not hard to make sanctum would provide 2 days worth of game time.

As i have said else where i think 40m aday is ok to pay (1.2b for a plex) thats a sanctum and a bit a day about 40 minutes at most

if we can keep driving the price of plexes up i'm a happy player

eve is about sin

And why should we spend our RL cash for next to nothing imaginary iskies.
Screw that!
If the prices keep rising i may think its worth it to buy a plex to sell for isk.

Ok I have done some reserch into Incursions. The magic word being over looked here is COULD.

In you COULD earn 100 mill isk an hour doing incursions, so ya you could end us extreamly isk rich or you could end up with nothing or worst lost a lot of isk in lost ships.

Setting up an incursion crew takes a lot of organising and could result in a loss.

So yes it is true to say you could earn 100 mill isk an hour doing incursions, the same can be said you could earn a $1,000,000 on the stock market.

So lers stop all this blowing smoke up each others arse shall we.

I'd rather see my real-life wallet go down by £11 than my EVE wallet go down by 0.5 Billion ISK Cool

One is infinitely more tedious to fill than the other! That coming from a low-sec player who gave up on grinding L4s a long time ago and as a result enjoys the game far more, has more time to spend PVPing even if it's in smaller/cheaper ships (err, Navy Mega mostly atm).


OP can go play a F2P game, if his thinks EVE is grind wait 'til he sees one of those non-premium grind-tastic MMOs :D WoT/Navyfield I'm looking at you!

As usualt ther point of the threat is lost in a lot of flaming by morons who avoid the popint being made and simply resort to name caling.

No $15 a month wont break the bank
No running missions untill my eyes bleed is not a lot to ask
No being forced to now commit a lot more time to a game that is all ready so boring I actualy have been know to fall asleep while playing it

All of that is a well know fact to all of you but your all so far up your own asseas about the game you refuse to see any thing bad about it

Give it enough time and even you total eve junkies will get bored with the game. Come speak to me in a few years, if not seek help as your not a normal humanbeing.

If eve is such a brilliant game why arnt there 5 million players on 23/7

facts are the game is not that brilliant it is at best a distraction when there is nothing on the TV.

Playing for free is not the evil thing here being forced to commit more and more of your time to a game is.

people who genuinly feel playing for 18 hours a day is a healthy thing are in need of some serious counciling.

if you have flamed in this thread then you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and judge your self on what you have said as it is not the way any normal person would speak about what is at the end of the day just a game.

Explain to me how CCP is going to step in and bring the price of plex down? If CCP starts to manipulate the market they have ruined their sandbox. There should be no intervention from CCP.

I am one of the few that is driving the price of plex up. I saw that the prices were rising dropped about 12 bil into plex at 340mil and have been slowly selling them off as the price goes up. I figure by the time I am done I will be up between 6-8 bil on top of my initial investment.



ok this should be a give but if it really needs to be said.

CCP makes real money from selling plax to those weak willed individuals dumb enough to buy them.

Plex becomes so isk expensive less are willing to buy them from the in game market, some like me feel it is no longer worth the effort and quit the game.

CCP are now faced with two things player loss and falling plex sales, both things having an effect on CCP's proffits.

Will CCP step in and do some thing about it you can bet your ass they will.

Ok I hope this makes your life a happier one.

You really don't get it, do you?


Plex prices are climbing BECAUSE more and more players are making 500M in 5-10 hours. When they have tons of isks, why should they pay $ for their sub? More demand, prices increase.

To blame sellers for it is utter nonsense.

And I'd be interested to know why you think CCP must involve itself on it.


Really, these threads about PLEX are my favorites, just after those about T2 BPOs and exhumer suicide-gankings.

Don't project unto others your own failures to set your own objectives by yourself.

You seem more suited to theme-park MMOs, so why are you staying? Unless you're a masochist and like being bored?

You must have never run incursions. In my experience it takes all of 10min to find a fleet and even a crappy fleet will net 50+ mil/hr. Honestly, you COULD do us a favor and leave the game since it is so boring for you or you COULD stop pretending you know everything about the game while claiming doom and gloom for CCP selling the evil PLEX to poor innocent people.

But props for so far getting a 5 page troll thread.

if your bored why are you playing anyway

surely the stress of buying plex at any price has ruined the game for you (i find this with a lot of people who buy plex to keep going)
soon as they stop "playing to play" (in other words just playing so you can play some more) it becomes less of a job and more fun

try PvP a little if you smart and get lucky you can make 1bil in a week

Dude you can make $15 in an hour in real life the point is how you chose to use it

The point of this thread keeps getting high jacked by the eve junkies.

to make isk = personal commitment in time

the point here is I don't wish to commit more time to a game I allready find boring but still find usfull as a distraction when these is nothing on TV

LOL why am I bothering really it is the same old same old any post that could have CCP sitting up and taking note gets whittled down to name calling and emoisam

OK i give up you have brow beaten me into submission I'll let this thread drift off into the land of ignorance and bewilderment.

in conclution all I can say is there seems to be a lot of weak willed people playing eve, I am very glad I do not count my self in with them. I literaly feel that in doing and saying the things that I have I have proven my self not to be a compleat eve junkie as to those who have blindly defended their eve habbit I say this I truly feel sorry for you.
