If PLEX reaches 1bil per unit, will you still pay?

Just out of curiosity. I personally don't pay with PLEX (don't have the time to grind all the cash) however I know a good chunk of the community does. I want to get an idea of what would happen if PLEX ever reached 1bil per unit.

I'd probably cut back to just one account if PLEX cost 1b. If it stays at 500 or lower, i might consider a 3rd account, but im debating that still

500 is pretty obscene though. I started plexing when 30d gametime only cost 160mil... and that wasnt too long ago...

I might start buying plex with cash if they got up that high and selling them.

being a full time highsec incursion runner i make my plex inside 20 minutes and i spend all day laughing at people that dont do what i do.


I can pay anything asked for a plex and the reason they are so high is that me and all the other incursion runners are raising the price of PLEX just for the lols.

Problem?

Its not obscene given you get to play the game for free.

Given how easy it is to grind 1B, what is the problem? High sec incursions give out 120-150m ISK per hour. You can make 1B ISK in station trading with a few hours input over a day if you know what you're doing.

but then the price would drop

then I'd buy.

For many people, shooting at NPCs with crappy AI for 6 hours isn't worth 1 bil.

Just putting another perspective up, not saying that I feel that way.

Never bought a PLEX (either with ISK or with cash). However, if they got up to 1B and were selling, I would buy them with cash.

20 minutes to make 500 milliom?
You are doing it wrong.

Th crew I fly with does 50 sites every 10 minutes for our 500 million.
You must be flying with the guys in the T1 fitted Vexors.

In fact, I have seen a squad of 4 day old chars in frigs and no logi's make a billion an hour.

*scrolls way down the Sell Orders looking for 500mil+ PLEX* Ah, way down there...so you are still buying them now, then, I take it?

Assuming even if everyone is interceptors, you cannot initiate and land from warp 50 times + 50 gates (100 total warps) within the span of 10 minutes. Much less complete even a single site in less that 2 minutes due to the spawning mechanics.


I call shenanigans.

I think if PLEX hit 1 bil ISK I would buy more PLEX with RL money.

HEY CCP, IF PLEX HITS 1 BIL I WILL GIVE YOU MORE MONEY. MAKE IT HAPPEN, STAT!


... Seriously, I don't see the point of this thread. The way the market works it is incredibly unlikely to hit 1 bil ever.

It will just mean having to find one more person to scam a month. God bless the Recruitment channel.

Exactly.

I buy a GTC that costs $35.00 that is essentially free money for me by carrying a pager. So for 45 minutes of income I can sell GTC for 900 Million ISK. It's all I need and hard to beat time vs reward...

That is the choice on how much your time is worth. If it GTC's were still 350m, no one would be stupid enough to pay for EVE...well some would have to because the plex/GTC market wouldn't work.

Well then the only response to that is...then they should get a job. 15 USD really is nothing.

"Yes."

And I'll do it without grinding, because I'm ~space rich~
