Like graphics cards for isk?


The graphics cards weren't an ingame item, however plex can be purchased with real money. It was really graphics cards for money.



Unless I misunderstood, all you had to do was buy Plex with ISK you had earned in-game then 'redeem' them back to your account to place the order. Which means they could be bought with ISK alone.

It's that same argument again, isn't it? Here we go again, I guess the message doesn't get through each time it's repeated.

I'm seriously considering writing up a userscript that allows me to pop open a context menu when posting on these forums and entering a canned reply every time somebody thinks that in-game PLEX are seeded by NPCs

in fact the guy who buys PLEX in-game to pay for his account is almost always paying more for his account than the guy paying a subscription in US dollars, even moreso if the PLEX was originally purchased for GBP/Euros

If you are making 50 or 100B ISK a month then it dosn't matter that you are paying a little extra for your game time, you will never use real money to pay for the game. Newer players buy the PLEX with real money so they can fly shineys. They either have more real-money than time or just can't be bothered with the grind. Either way there will always be players willing to throw real money to get items/ships in EvE.

I personally use isk for everything. Like the offer CCP sent out a couple of months back. Two x PLEX for a new account with six months subscription. Pretty damn good deal.
