EVE General Discussion

"PLEX was a stroke of genius"....so the subject line is a fraud.

Postulating the form of the time-space continuum was genius. PLEX may (or may not) be a good innovation for EVE, but it's certainly not CCP's original idea. Casinos do it with poker chips all the time.

'Cause your first sentence annoyed me, OP, I'm gonna take the contrary position and say being able to buy in-game currency instead of having to earn it throws the game entirely out of balance. You wind up dealing with a player base that has suspect capabilities. It's bad enough what you don't know. There's no need to add things like this.

PLEX? Beddy bad idea.

Oh, I want to add. It's neither the best, nor the worst. The BEST was - EVE came online.
The WORST? EVE goes offline now and then, and sometimes not scheduled.

Yeah I'm afraid of CODE. and this is a high sec carebear miner's killboard - and this isn't even my main pvp toon .

No if you don't get it maybe I'm not good at expressing my ideas.

Apparently according to some everything is fine and its just summer...

There is no judgement here. *hugs*

God I would kill for a banner that says '10 year vet' I'd even pay money for that.. (yes ccp that was a stealth take my money comment)

Anyway, 10 year vet here, well.. nearly 10.5 year.. **** I been here a long time.

I don't plex my accounts and I have 4, I pay money for them, so there goes that theory.

In addition I get ganked ALL the time, and I have 126m sp (ye I know low for 10 years, this is what happens when you don't use implants, implants are your friends, too bad I die to much) So there again goes that theory.

PLEX came about as a way to combat isk buying, and it seems to have worked rather well. These arguments are always stupid, because they boil down to esentually three points.

1) Plex is player controlled. If you want the price to drop, pull out your Credit Card, but a bunch, and undercut the market.

2) No one forces anyone w play with isk. If the price is too high, then pay with real money like I do. If you can't do that... then maybe you need to check yoru finances and find a cheaper hobby.

3) If you can not make the isk for a plex in a week, with very little effort, you are doing it WRONG.

Plex was a good idea, the issue is it created a bunch of entitled babies who are too damn lazy to do things for there money.

CCP also added other services that use plex which drove prices up.

/thread

P.S. CCP I will pay 1 plex for a damn tag that says 10 year vet. (once verified ofc)

What if PLEX is cancelled?

Play-for-free players: Let's move to other free games.

Miners: Isk cannot pay for my account. Why should I mine? Mining is not fun anyway. Let's go to join my friend's ganker group for fun.

Manufacturers: Not much ores can be bought from the market. Prices are so high too. Difficult to find cheap source of ores. I don't want to mine myself! I cannot produce as much as before. Anyway, no need to produce for isk. Since ores are difficult to obtain, I could only produce enough for myself and my friends. I shall attach high price tag even if I can produce some for sale. Good news is that I can reduce the transporation cost paid to haulers.

Sov owners: Isk farmers that used to rent my space are gone. Moon goos are not selling well too. I cannot afford to fund the fleet. Not enough economic incentive for sovereignty war. Difficult to motivate people to go for the corporation goal. Kingdoms are falling apart.

Alliance memebers: I don't need to kill rat for isk. What? No ship replacement? No, I am not gonna join that tower bashing epic battle. Too slow. I shall have more fun in low sec roaming fleet.

Gankers: Juicy carebears are rare now. All I can find in space is other gankers. Life is even more difficult than before. There are so little numbers and kinds of ships and modules I could buy from the market. I have isk to spend. I just want to blow up more ships. What did I done wrong?

Actually in reality Eve died long ago. What you are experiencing as real is in fact merely a computer-generated construct known as the Matrix designed to keep you from waking up to the truth.
