You're equating 1 hour of work to X hours of play.

IE, if I don't work, my family will not eat.

If I don't play...

I have to pay $15 to play.

But I'm not playing anyway.

So no real problem here.

If I could get paid to play at minimum wage I would do that instead.

The problem with trying to equate working on a job with making isk to buy plex to play EVE is that I can't work my job from home, butt naked while drinking beer and chatting with my buds over teamspeak.
"The problem is", "that i" ...

You make no sense.
You go from "general" right to "specific".

What's wrong ? That doesn't happen to you normally.


Besides that, you *could* have such an awesome job,
but they aren't that easy to find ... or create.

Or, well, actually, nowadays they are.

I can make far more than I need to plex my account with two minutes of clicking at least once per month (some times up to a dozen times). I just can't do it repeatedly without limit.

Therefore, you are still a scrub.

Oh and ...

I pay my sub with cash.
I have no reason not to.

No matter how i think about it,
it makes no sense to me wasting even only ten minutes
to make ISK to pay for gametime.

That's a waste of my time and a waste of my ISK.

I have nothing better to do today than to read inane GD threads. Also, I too pay for my sub because its cheaper than grinding isk, which I absolutely hate doing.

We're all dying. It's just a question of time. Doesn't mean we have to quit now.

Right on, do what fits for you.

That's why fun is subjective. I like doing the things i do which also make me isk.

And at the rate I make isk doing PVE stuff, it takes me 28-30 minutes per day to make enough isk to plex 4 accounts per month, everything I make after than 1st 28-30 minutes of shooting npc with my buddies while butt naked and drunk is pure space-profit which I can use to buy throw away pvp ships if I'm in that mood or to gamble with on the market or buy more pve ships to experiment with etc etc.

My R/L job is super stressful revolving around dealing with society's most unsavory individuals and the money I make goes to real life needs, the idea of working even one minute of overtime in a uniform to fund a pass time that allows me the alternative of paying for it through fun butt naked drunk activity is insane to me.

The nice thing about PLEX is that they let some people grind for game time by letting other people buy isk. Each side makes the other possible so why would you try to say that one is better than the other?

Confirming that this is the best and most informative post on GD right now, and bonus points for also having the best conclusion to a post of this nature I have seen.

The OP also forgot to mention the following:

2 - 15 minute breaks = 2.5 hours a week getting paid to do nothing. This means 10 hours / month of pay for non productive time.

Using the 7.50 minimum wage, this means the minimum wage earner can easily pay for an account just sitting around on their break.

Yep, some people play to earn isk. While others are willing to pay CCP for an in game item to exchange to the other person for their isk.
