It would only tell us how much of the player base is either poor or too young to have a credit card.

Or ya know anyone that just thinks £15 a month is more than they want to spend (over the requisite grind/play time they could expend instead).

I'm a 30+ yr old gamer...that plays eve. £30 each month (2 accounts) adds upto a lot of fun I could be having in other titles that might exceed the time it used to take me to 'grind' (/play) for Plexes. And tbh...I have one month left on my subs with a Plex ready on each to resub should I feel like it later but the amount of time I'd have to spend running anoms/incursions, which I find enjoyable at certain doses, has been exceeded...

Too poor to play, nope. Too young to have a credit card, nope. Better things to spend it on (gaming-wise), yep.


It's nice of you to keep an account subbed for posting on the forums in between playing all these other awesome games.

One's already lapsed this one dies on the 23rd. Debating whether to liquidise a gila and tengu or some of my gecko stack for Xmas goodies on each account or not... That's if I make it to my gaming PC from my current placement before then anyways... Till then a few weeks of forums online shouldn't matter unless every player that decides not to pay makes you butthurt xD

but what would I know, I'm just a salvager

If the game isn't worth paying for, then it isn't worth playing either.

The problem with Plex is it allows people to play a game they don't care enough about to pay for.

CCP Quant: Of all those who logon in Eve, 1.5% do Incursions, 13.8% PVP and 19.2% run Missions while 22.4% mine.

40.7% Join a fleet. The idea that Eve is a PVP game is false, the social fabric is in Missions and Mining.

This is patently false. Will you gamble 20s on a **** game for free? (Assuming negligible loading and learning times)

If you don't lie and say no then we're into the realms of speculation and personal preference. Fin.

E: also for the rest of your post just lol. I provided content for many of my plexed hours for newbros, hunters and huntees (aka victims). Far more than the subs that only log in when their Titan is needed in to roflstomp another fleet (probably having to leave their (f2p) wot or wow game to do so)

But ey let's condescend to all those freeloaders that populate our player driven mmo and see where that gets us...
