Too bad the last expansion didn't include a "feature" where you can make silly billions of isk by orbiting buttons with day-old alts. Otherwise, paying for plexes would be a serious pain.


P.S.: 'plex' can refer to:
- A deadspace complex
- Faction war button-spinning
- Pilot's License Extension item.

Get a freaking thesaurus, CCP.

Since we don't know if Sparky will return, until we find out one way or the other It is Schrodinger's dog.

I was wondering, is it considered RMT if a Euro has an American get his PLEX for him to take advantage of the favorable exchange rate?

Why get an american do do it?

Buy a GTC from a US site that accepts payment in USD?

If that is RMT that I'm guilty and has been for years.


Since it isn't RMT if you let a bank do it for You, I can hardly see a difference if you are helped by a friend. Easiest is getting an US CC though.

As usual on the internet buying a commodity is cheaper if you exchange EUR into USD and buy it using the USD price. Sadly, this hads become a tradition in the last 20 years.

Just another highly successful PVE expansion to follow the last 3.

It's not a faucet, but it is pretty darned good at pumping ISK into a few people's wallets.

There is a new banner ad when logging into the game.

It is worded to sound like it might link to a Dev Blog about the situation.....but just leads straight to the PLEX Purchase page in Account Management. What?

It's quite clearly a middle finger to the player-base at this point.

Hardly the player base, its players making isk out of the situation. I think you mean those players who run accounts with plex and are poor enough to care, which can't be many.

I realise high price plexes isn't good thing to fight vs inflation, in fact, people who sell plexes become more rich, also more rich people -more inflation we got, no item or isk sink, because after seling plex people apply it to account or spent money for other goods, so nothing is waste.

If it bleed we can kill it.

.....which you technically really can have absolutely no idea about. You simply state a 'theory'.

Rich people tend to save a higher proportion of their additional income.

This is a withdrawal from the money supply.

It causes deflationary pressure.

Besides I think plex prices have started to level out, judging by today alone, tommorrow may be different :)

Why do you think that? Because there are 2 plex at 620 now? The ones after that are still at 630

From what I saw, buy orders are moving upward closing the gap.

Weekends are typically crazier as well. I have a feeling there's still a lot of game left to play.
