EVE General Discussion

I think you're a teenage boy, you still live at home with mum and dad and you think you know how the world works which you haven't even experienced yet.

Ok cool, CCP should just leave things as they are and accept the loss of valued customers who want to plex with isk for game time.

I think you have no evidence, reasoning, or argumentation to support your case, which is why you so adamantly refuse to provide any and instead rely on fallacies to pick up the insurmountable amount of slack.

You have no idea about anything. This is the only thing you've managed to prove beyond any reasonable doubt.

Do you have any facts, data, evidence, logic, argumentation, models, or other proof to present in support of your stance?
Or do you only have fallacies?

Do you have any facts, data, evidence, logic, argumentation, models, or other proof to present in support of your stance?
Or do you only have an ever increasing pile of fallacies that further prove me right?

You should stop this thing you are doing. It's not on topic, not defending your position, not contributing to the conversation, and not actually making anyone but yourself look bad.

Sorry, I had to get a few digs in before the ISD comes with his virtual and righteous scissors.

Too bad that you failed at that as badly as you did at providing any kind of support for your stance.

To hopefully break up Aaron and Tippi's spat (They do converse just like a married couple) It is interesting how plex prices work. It is pretty fantastic economics. Commodity trading. Isk to plex, and plex back to isk or consumed for a use. People buy plex with the commodity they receive from real world work to get plex. Said isk then has a value to real world work. I just find it fastinating. Person works, they mentally value their time to isk, compare it with said tokens they get for work and thus convert it to plex. People then invest same work directly into eve for isk to get plex. They now have put value on their time.

Result is a proportional trade of real world man hours. Kind of interesting the comparison. Plex seller is willing to give up some of the working time in exhange for more recreational time. Buyers place a value on their rec time compared to their working time. Would be interesting to calculate current exchange of working time to recreational time of buyers to sellers and the value they place on their time.

Yup. That's the neat thing about PLEX — even with all the options of what you can buy with it, at its heart, it's still just time. If you want to make it even more fun, include the character bazaar in that chain and look what it is you're trading there.


It's a neat idea, but it rather falls afoul of how many different ways there are of making ISK in the game, and how quickly you actually earn ISK with each of them. You'll also raise all kinds of hell in trying to establish how you'll count, not just AFK earnings, but offline earnings — do you only count the set-up time, or the entire transaction, or some curious mix? You can probably establish some loose relationship, but it'll be a pretty wide span…

…but then again, that holds true on the seller end as well, since work time value is hardly a uniform measure. Would you match upper bound to upper bound (and what is the upper bound?!) and lower to lower?
