You were doing so well, then you hit this one! Plex do nothing to ISK other than move it.


Eh... by my calculations, plex account for about 20% of the total transaction and broker fees daily.

We're talking about 25 billion isk in transaction taxes and broker fees every day from just plex.


Think about what you are typing, because it is making you look ********.

Plex are not an isk sink in the slightest. If a plex is destroyed, no isk is lost. If a plex is created, no isk is lost. Plex are not purchased from an NPC, so no isk is lost. Plex are not sold to npcs, so no isk is created.

MARKET TRANSACTION TAX is the sink. Holy crap dude.


Edit, apparently returded, spelled properly, is a bad word, and we shouldn't be saying things that will make mentally handicapped people feel like they aren't special snowflakes.

Don't be returded. I never said it was an isk sink. I'm just explaining it's the single largest contributor to what is universally agreed upon being an isk sink.

Its better to have 1 hand on the PLEX then 2 in the pants, therefore the only logical solution to this theory is that PLEX is the biggest ISK sink because it exists.

How does one's hand get into a bird and how does an aquatic creature that can't traverse land end up in a bush ?

Both are rare and undesirable outcomes.

Alex's way of saying that though he lost big when plex crashed, he's still got a sleeve up his ace.

Any colour you like.

You will find that weird things start happening to and around you when you first start taking collaterol.

These anomalies are normal and should pass within 20 years.
