Darn, that's funny, your industry Goonies in the feedback thread have been harping on what a waste of time it was to over-research BPO's and calling everybody who did it stupid and scamming on poor noob's.

I've always wondered if people read our posts & take it verbatim. I guess I have my answer.

I've been considering installing wind turbines on the heads of some of the more egregious grrgoons types.

The speed at which things woosh right over their heads could power a small town, I think.

I'd like to clear a few things up regarding industry for you :)

The bpo's with high ME were there as a "selling point" for copies, anything beyond me10 was just for show (me100 for ammo).

Minerals are never free, but i know you're just trolling with that one. ;)

The ones you will be competing with on the market, in the hubs are the "wall-street"'ers, buy low, sell high, sometimes below mineral cost of items.

Asfaik, you don't need need another account now, since the only skills you need to compete are pretty much industry lvl1. And that is my point - I know several other professions have been screwed skill-wise, but industry is prettyy much just gone as a specialization.

What i *think* this is gonna do is screw up the market badly. A horde of "omg minerals are free, since i mined them and refined them myself" will rush in, and enjoy not having to know what profit is or spreadsheets and tools for making sure you're actually getting a little profit.

If you think prices in ships are high because of greed, think again, most ships are 5% profit. Ammo and drones are 25% mostly, but for that extra profit I have to fly around and they lock up production slots for ages.

Yes, "the tears are delicious" and things "are going according to plan" - Time will tell, I have already seen stuff on market that reeks of "my minerals are free, and i will undercut errbody and be rich!" - Good for the consumer in the short run.

It's good to learn it all meant so much to you. It's good to know you put so much time, attention and consideration in your "accounts" that you counted them as keepsakes. That being said:
It's tragic to learn you just HAD to part with them to prove some point.

Nice to see that instead of staying on topic you decided to go all Joe Dirt and just attack the OP. You and your poison are part of why this game (and its forums) have such a crappy reputation.

Your post isn't witty or special... it makes you appear to be just silly and ignorant. But by all means... keep doing whatever makes you feel special sweetheart.

As previously pointed out it really doesn't matter if people who pay for accounts with PLEX close the accounts, the lights and salaries are paid by the people who have paid subs and the people who buy PLEX with RL money.

Accounts paid for by PLEX are basically Free to Play accounts.

I should cross post this in the unpopular opinions thread Roll

lol .. yeah i must admit the hisec part of Crius has sort of reminded me a bit of one of those early 20th century banana republic revolutions where they kick out all the "foreigners" and hand the factories over to be run by illiterate farm laborers :D

Yeah, i play for free but thanks to a random player that buys plex with real money, and then i give him fake money because for whatever reason i don't know he likes fake money more than real money.
In the end, the result is the same and my account is paid with real money, but not with my real money.

I feel like Grover trying to explain this to a kid but it was obviously necessary.

All very true.

But all you do is create an increased demand for PLEX which puts the price up which encourages more people to buy PLEX with real money.

Now it seems probable at this point in time PLEXing accounts is the main thing that drives PLEX sales in-game hence encouraging other people to spend real money on PLEX. This I agree with.

HOWEVER if long term OTHER demands for PLEX (like kinky underwear for your avatar or reskinning your Thorax to look like Homer Simpson's nose) begin to outweigh the price pressure from PLEXing accounts that may eventually change.

Over the last year I've dropped from 16 accounts to 6 and I'm looking to drop another 2 in the near future.

The accounts I've already dropped were primarily used for making isk, but with CCP threatening to nuke T2 BPOs there isn't really anything for me to spend the isk on, so rather than grinding isk for the sake of it I've decided to retire from industry until things improve.

The accounts I'm about to drop were used for supporting my PvP, but after some terrible customer service experiences with CCP I've decided to drop those too.

I'll be left with my 4 oldest accounts, which I primarily use for PvP.

Definately mined alot in a former life and that actually went into my thought process in the decision to stay with 3 accounts.

Good call.
