Disregarding all the serious economy talks here ....

I actually dont have a problem with plexes being so high, I have a monthly sub and Im not going to switch to plex anytime soon. Meanwhile, plexes offer a nice injection of ISK, more so now that they are quite expensive.

I wonder how this affects (if at all) people who have many alts which they plex instead of monthly sub...

Huh? Where does it say that?

OP is pretty vague

Perhaps the server should have imploded.

There just isn't anything that can be said!

Large numbers of alts (as opposed to essential alts like scouts/cynos/etc ) are generally ISK makers and logically will get unsubbed if they make less than they cost in PLEX. It will be interesting to see what effect PLEX cost has on the prices for ready made characters on the bazaar.

That said, ISK generally is not hard to make and many people PLEX or MCT simply because they may as well and have nothing better to do with the ISK .

Seriously, who cares? All this entitled whining just serves to amuse me.
I find it ridiculous how people whine about the amount of effort they have to put in to effectively play the game for free.

Plexes are like the ingame equivalent of houses in my opinion but at an even more basic level. Demand for Plexes will never run out as long as eve lives which means prices can continue to rise indefinitely. Not only that but plex supply is inherently limited by people trying to make the most isk from their purchased plex, supply will never be high enough to push prices down long term.

This post brought to you by CCP's alpha forum alt initiative. Playing the eve forums has never come cheaper.

Personally I have an OCD problem with plex.

I just started my account again.

Before it was reasonable to plex at 600 M. If I play weekends two night a week I can make 100 M + per night so I could pay for plex in 6 days of game play and still have time to make isk.

Now, it isn't really much of a point to grind for it since that is all you would be doing. I do not think I could make that much with only playing weekends anyways.

Which leads to an existential problem for me...

If I am not grinding for plex. What am I earning isk for?

I have all the ships I have ever wanted and could self destruct for fun.

I guess I could just keep doing it for billions and billions of isk.

But there is another problem. If I play to grind isk and pay to actually play anyways... I need to make at least 46 million a day every day for 30 days or the economist in me believes I should just buy plex and sell it or I am wasting my time.

Which bothers me for some reason.

But I doubt that bothers most people.

I suppose the side affect is that there are less alts now.

The belts are empty and ice fields last for hours now, not minutes. When I went to bed last night I couldn't mine all the ice before the server downtime.

So maybe the higher plex prices are good anyways regardless of my OCD about it.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Or maybe... you know... you could forget about the plex and do what you enjoy without caring about the subscription. All activities except pvp will give you money, in fact even fw pvp will give you ridiculous amounts of money.

Many people sub and THEN if they happen to build up excess ISK will get a Plex to either MCT train an alt on their account to a higher level or simply use the ISK to save themselves cash for a few months before subbing again.
