EVE General Discussion

Anyone else think its time to take the fee back to 1 plex due to plex being in the 920 million range now?

Ya, but considering that if you sell a toon for say 3 billion on the forums, your only making 1 bill due to plex being almost 1 bill each. Wouldnt the smart thing to do be reduce the price of a character transfer considering there was no reason to make it 2 plex from 1 to begin with. Its greed is what it is. The forums for selling toons was so much more of an active area before the increase in cost.
On a side not I bought 10 plex on the market about 3 months ago, and If I sold them now I would make 4 billion just in the (interest) they have gained.

I stopped playing for a year, what was the justification for doubling the fee to begin with tho....

I don't think that CCP will let that go. Not saying that they are grubby, but that it does cost daylight to resolve player vs player issues with the system and so the PLEX covers the support/investigation time which can be considerable. The actual cost of a PLEX is still the same.

When i have 81 billion isk why would i pay with real money, thats the job of ppl that wont learn to make isk ingame...

On a serious note tho... 20 USD to transfer a toon is crazy... What happened to CCP saying that If you put the time into the game you shouldnt have to spend your real life currency.

2 Billion Iskies is a lot of Isk to spend to transfer a toon. People like me could make a nice amount of isk by creating toons and reselling them. There is no reason it should have been changed to 2 plex in the first place. If plex is a bill each, shouldnt they at the least have left it at 1 plex not doubled it?

lol what part of it is sweet?

I think Im gonna buy like 60 Plex and let them gain in value and cash out at 1.3bill per plex.....

You don't have to pay PLEX at all.

You can always use $20 instead, which is essentially the same as 1 PLEX.

But if you want to use ingame derived PLEX only, then sure, 2 PLEX is fine in my book.

lol2 plex might be ok for you, but your missing the point. Why the pricce of one plex RL currency, but 2 plex IG currency? And more over why was it doubled?

Not missing the point at all.

I have the option to pay with cash, or pay effectively with game time.

If you don't want the convenience of paying with cash, then it should cost more with in game time because you are asking CCP to provide a service that you don't want to directly compensate them for, so paying double in time to utilise someone other player's money instead seems perfectly fine.

The first character I bought was in 2012, sold one one week later. So it was about 3 years ago roughly as I took a 1 year break it could have been anywhere in that time frame.
