This. I pay EVE with cash exactly for this reason. Also I'm not a poor student sod IRL so why spend time on making EVE money whilst I can make a lot more money in real life 10 times faster and just pay?

Time = Money

1 hour rl works equals atleast one month of EVE sub. I find it hard to make 500mil (1 plex) in the same time


Or , why spend rl money while you are making more then enough ingame money to pay for it.Now if you need to 'grind' then i can see the point but if you enjoy an activity wich allready creates more then enough to cover ingame expenses(shiplosses etc) and still have isk left i'd go with plex everyday.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Um, yeah, CCP makes a ton of money off PLEXs. In the event that CCP went bonkers (well, more bonkers) and decided that they didn't like having money, I would probably not be running so many accounts. I'd dump the less-useful alts and consolidate down to one account, possibly two.

Never bought, sold, used, looted or owned PLEX... so wouldn't matter to me at all if it was removed.

I just pay for my 3 accounts. It's very little money per month when it comes down to it and I'd rather spend the ISK I get on PVP-ships.
