PLEX could easily hit $2-billion ISK by year's end.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

There is a special circle of Hell reserved for people who use dollar signs to describe ISK amounts.



e: There is an even deeper circle reserved for those who use hyphens inappropriately.

PLEX is not a "commodity," it's a series of bits in memory somewhere on a server bought into the game universe with algorithms.

Actually, since we're going to be obnoxiously literal and obtuse to idiom, PLEX is just a bunch of vibrating sub-atomic matter.


You just face-planted.
Hard.

Its clear you have been hurt either on this account or another, and desperately want to strike back anyway you can.
But in this instance, you really should re-evaluate what you just said, pick up your teeth and be on your way.

plexing your account is a privilege not a right. If you want various accounts, pay for them with irl cash and suddenly the price of plex is not at all important


PLEX is not a "privilege". Its a commodity that is bought into the universal game world with RLM.
Ingame, it is acquired from them with ingame money earned rightfully from the game environment.

There is nothing "privileged" about any of that.


You misunderstood completely what Tam was saying. PLEX is a privilege, not a right. No one owes these complainers a plex, unless they loaned someone a plex and never got paid back lol. Like any luxury commodity , its very easy to live without it, in this case, 50 cents USD a day easy.

2 billion ISK then. Fairly certain I'm in good company, so no worries. Twisted

I did not misunderstand.

PLEX is neither a privilege, nor a right.

THAT is exactly why nobody owes these complainers a PLEX.

It is a purchased commodity.
Either you buy it for RLM, or you buy it ingame with isk from those who have done so.

It is a commodity.
Not a privilege, nor a right.

If it was a right, everyone would have it.
If it was a privilege, only some could have it.
It is a commodity, because it is something anyone and everyone can buy, to have.

You're assuming a mutual exclusivity that simply isn't there. PLEX is very much a privilege, same as many other commodities. The two terms are not in opposition.

I am assuming nothing, except the established definitions of these terms in leading dictionaries.

If you have enough money, IRL, to buy PLEX, you can be perceived to be privileged in ways that some other individual with less money is not. If you have enough ISK to purchase it ingame, you can be perceived to be privileged in ways that some other individuals with less are not.

Neither of these make PLEX itself a privilege.
It merely means you are privileged in your wealth.

PLEX itself is just a commodity which anyone and anyone can buy.
It is neither a privilege nor a right.
Just a commodity, which if you can afford it, it can be yours.

Owning a Ferrari IRL is not a privilege.
A Ferrari itself, is not a privilege. Its just a car.
The privilege is vested in the wealth and position of those who can purchase such a car.
The luxury items themselves, however, remain merely expensive commodities.

Some commodities can be related to privilege.
For example all the unmarked swans in the UK belong to the Crown.
The swan itself is not a privilege. The privilege is vested in the Crown, in that only it can own these swans.

In EVE, anyone can buy and own PLEX. You merely have to pay for it. There is no privilege involved there.
Merely a transaction of currency or service for a commodity, like any other.
