EVE General Discussion

Kek, ignore me.

F2P entitlement: because making people do stupid silly task for hours and hours for a a crumb makes them feel like they've earned it.

This thread is an example of how hysteria happens.

Someone reads or hears something, takes it in an out of context way based on a flaw in their personal definition of something (in this case the flawed idea that plexing and subscribing are different), and then blows it up into some horror that it never was.


It's kind of funny in the context of a video game forum, till you realize that real life wars have been started from such misunderstandings...

You must be new here lol.

I have a friend who drinks wine from a thermos while at work, does that count?

Stop it Jen, they're enjoying themselves.

You know you are discussing something else than the discussion you are commenting on, right?


This is just a stupid technical thing. Well so CCP apparently first notes PLEX as revenue when they have been used, yes. but the guy creating the revenue did not necesarrily give out the money. CCP wanted to reward loyal supporters according to their piece, which would be the guy giving the money IMO.


This was never part of the discussion. The discussion is about that he cannot accept that people who gives money directly to CCP gets more than those who do not. Where I say, if it is the case that plexers don't get the reward(I highly doubt this) and if he wants to reward someone, then reward the one who bought the PLEX with real money instead of the guy who uses it. I hope you can see how this is different from the differences in prizes you were posting?

If you had read anything in this thread, instead of just barging in the end of the thread commenting on something you don't understand the context of, you would know that this is not completely clear. Hence this panic thread about how the OP thinks it is unfair, that those using real money to subscribe with get something he does not when using no money(Again I think plexers will be included as well, but OP does clearly not). Due to the ambiguous wording on the subscription page it is open to interpretation. If plexers are not included I have argued for, I think this is okay if CCP only wants to reward those who have subscriptions, it is their choice.

It really annoys me you reply to something, having not understood a minimum of what is being discussed.

Not one for cutting it close, are yah?

I see a plex economics understanding fail in some of the peeps here.

Ill say it one last time.

people who subscribe and people who plex their account both generate income for ccp.

if no one plexed their account, then the plex would be worthless (isk value) in game, and no one would buy the damn things to sell on market.

therefore, both parties are generating revenue for ccp. both parties should, and seem to, be getting the rewards for their company loyalty.

the reward for those who buy plex to sell, is instant cash in eve without having to grind for it.

sure, I get to play the game without paying for it, but my actions drive a demand for a product only obtainable with real money.


But I digress. the whole point of this topic, is to ask ccp to be more clear on what subscription methods qualify for the rewards to be given out on the November update.

As long as you renew before your account switches to inactive, you'll be fine.

CCP haven't suddenly changed how they do these things. There's just some weird form of groupthink happening.
