Dear CCP,

When PLEX hits 750m per, I'm done. You may as well just remove it from the game and make subscription the only model.

Nothing can be accomplished in-game on a casual schedule to PLEX anymore. Incursions, ratting, mining, missions. Feels like it is becoming a full-time job just to break even without really progressing.

If 750 happens I will skill out my remaining time and will not return until PLEX has returned to normalcy... reasonable levels.

It might drop to 670 in a week or 3, when the tycoon who bought everything up gradually starts to unload gradually.

I posted about this like a week ago by the way.

Just going to point this out:

At 1 billion per PLEX, you're looking at 33 million a day to play EVE.

I can make around 500K ISK per hour manufacturing a single tech 1 module. I have 10 lines running things with similar or greater rates of return. No, seriously, Isk Per Hour is showing me an average return of 670K per line.

That's 6.7M an hour.

That's 160.8M a day.

That's significantly more than 33M a day. I only need to run 3 lines to make more than 33 million ISK a day.

If you can't take the effort to make a single freighter run- not even far, just two or three jumps- and make 5 billion ISK a month- I'm not entirely sure if you deserve the luxury of playing off your ISK in the first place.

Making 33 million a day is not hard. PLEX aren't even 1 billion ISK yet. At 750M you only need 25M per day. That's nothing. That's a single tick of ratting in null, which requires less setup money than a freighter run.

You can literally buy your PLEX for 20-30 minutes a day.

If that's not casual play, 20-30 minutes a day at most, I have no idea what is. You don't even need to do it daily, spend three hours on the weekend or something, whatever. ISK is not hard to get.

At 400m i thought well it's reasonable i suppose, at 500m I was a bit annoyed at 600m I thought alright this is a bit much but now at 700m+ it's starting to get ridiculous. Not even gonna get into when it was 200m (those were the days). Bottom line CCP Needs to stop adding functionality and stupid **** to the subscription card that a large portion of the player base pays for the game with. As soon as more ship skins start getting added to the AUR store I could see plex hitting the 1b+ mark easily which is too high considering that these skinned ships are going to be getting blown up a lot.

CCP is not responsible for PLEX prices on the market.

CCP is not obligated to provide you with the possibility to play "for free" on a casual schedule. If everyone could do it, no one would buy plex for real money and then PLEX prices would rise wait what.

This is typical. Offer a service that almost no one else offers and that you're not obligated to offer and when that gets altered in some way everyone whines that it's bullshit that their toy that they got for free is not the same anymore.
