Because you have to have a subscription to play the game, and the forums are pvp too.


















Couldnt find the old picture to go with this :(

Really. Pay cold hard cash, you're a nobody. Pay in PLEX and the world is your EVEster...er, OYster.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Is $15 a month such a big deal? It's like 4 pints of beer.

It's got nothing to do with rights, but the service you're paying for. Not being allowed to use the forums or the game because your subscription has subscribed is no different from having your internet, phone or power cut off if you haven't paid the bills. EVE isn't a right, it's a service you pay for. Don't pay, don't get the service.

The joys of cities....Something like bud light would be around $5, something decent around $7-8.

It would be $25/day to park if I drove to work. Somehow $15/mo for a game doesn't bother me.

Why the hell would someone with a PLEX have more rights than a regular player...?

Pretty sure you've answered your own question there, that's 4 less pints of beer to be drank.

None of us have 'rights' here. We are not citizens, this is not some sort of government. We are customers.

So that's why the IRS started referring to taxpayers as customers. It all makes sense now.


I am trying to post how corporations control government functions anymore without this post being deleted for talking IRL politics.

Did I do it?

OP, don't think of it as $15 per month. Think of it as 1/2of one dollar per day. That comes to about 10 cents per hour, if you play 5 hours per day. Or 5 cents per hour if you play 10 hours per day. The more you play, the more of a bargain it is.

One the other hand-- If you spent all of that time getting ISK to buy one PLEX, you were working for only 5-10 cents per hour. That's below even what Oliver Twist got per hour in 1880 or so for washing bottles. So you're better off paying 5-10 cents per hour (which is a great bargain) than earning 5-10 cents per hour earning a PLEX (which would be really tragic). See what I mean? You have to do the economic analysis.

so, no would be the correct answer.

You are assuming the person doesn't enjoy making that ISK.

Also, you are assuming they are absolutely horrible at making ISK and can only make one PLEX-worth a month.
