The harder it is to afford a PLEX the likelier it is that subs will be paid with money or the players (rage)quit. Kids today have big problems with pay to play games. Do you think that more expensive PLEX prices will be good for the community? Good in the sense of "adult" community? Or good in a totaly different manner? If not, why not?

High plex prices = Better for casuals that just want to blow **** up
High plex prices = Bad for people w/o jobs (EVE shouldnt be their priority if this is the case) and people who cant have jobs, students etc

I don't want to disscuss the high price, but the change on the suscriber base it may have. If it was discussed already, please point me to the thread and I will request locking of this thread.

High PLEX prices are bad for PvP (unless you're selling PLEXes) because people have to grind more for their subscription and thus have less ISK to blow up in ships. Also if you need to spend a lot of your time on grinding ISK, you will have less time to PvP and you will be more reluctant to risk ships as it could endanger your monthly PLEX purchase.

Yes.







*cough*

I'm worried about those who can not find or get a job for whatever reasons,
although they want one. These people would pay, but can't.

I'd be happy to see all the lowlifes ...
... who say that EVE isn't worth the money ... (but keep playing anyway)
... leave.

Good riddance!

It depends on what is causing the PLEX prices to rise.

Oh god.

I think more expensive plex prices is great for the community.

If you're attempting to bemoan "kids these days can't afford it", then you won't find a ton of traction here.

Because that's a good thing too.

If plex prices go up, i transfer my highest SP char from my third account to my second, and discontinue that third account. The reason i started that third account was that i could afford it with plex.

So i think more expensive plex prices are not that great for the community at all.

What if they keep going up?

Driving PLEX price up will force a lot of people out of the game, most that i know are playing it
because they can plex the accounts, and the bad game content delivered in the last couple of years does
not justify paying the subscription anymore even if we can afford it.
This is a good thing since will force the company to actually put efforts into making the game worth the fee.

Can we discuss the negative impact on subscriber base because mining vessels don't have double digit Warp Core Strength bonuses and insta-align capabilities? I feel like this is as relevant as PLEX price whining.

Students generally don't have the time to grind for ISK. If they don't have to grind for ISK they'd be buying PLEX anyway and these prices wouldn't be much different to them from the ~300M many of us remember seeing.

What? Damn, it must be Saturday again. Man last week really flew by. What?

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.
