No it wasn't because PLEX wasn't introduced until like, what, 2008?

OP does PVE to make ISK to buy PLEX, LOL.
Unless you make 1.8 billion in an hour you're doing PVE for less than wage.
I wish my time was completely worthless.

A century has 36,500 or so days in it, nobody is time rich.
Eagerly awaiting OP's snappy self-serving troll of a come-back.

My standard is not paying people for doing a ****** job and CCP does a ****** job on this game. I still like playing it but I don't pay them money. So if you do pay them money then you are paying for them to do a ****** job and therefore and proliferating the terribleness and hence bad at EVE.


Do you withhold paying your city, state, local, and federal taxes?

I enjoy my work. I get paid money for working. But I'm doing what I enjoy greatly. And the money I get paid from work is paying for all my bills. I'm living RL for free! XD

OP doesn't realize he/she is working for free for CCP and the EVE community! LolLolLol


OP does some boring PVE activity --> end result is ISK (bounties) and/or resources (e.g. modules, minerals, whatever) are produced for all the EVE community to enjoy

OP buys PLEX --> end result is that someone (PLEX seller) gets ISK that he/she can't be bothered to generate (because too boring/too much effort, whatever)

CCP gets money from selling the PLEX in the first place --> they can continue being paid for making a 'bad game' (OP's words, I love EVE personally)


The funniest part is that OP doesn't realize this, but instead is convinced he/she is a genius carebear that got everyone fooled with his/her elite crabbing skills.

Thanks OP, you made my day!

LolLolLol

It actually means "Can't be arsed/assed". If you're wrong about that, what are the odds that you're mistaken (quite seriously) in this thread?

2007.
We were able to trade GTCs for ISK right from the start in 2003, though. PLEX only made it more formal and easier, it didn't introduce anything completely new.

And also guys, good job feeding an illiterate troll.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.
