EVE General Discussion

Dear CCP,
you are doing it wrong,

We have TWO currency systems in game now, and we dont know situation is intended or not.

First - ISK - used to interact with NPC and official market place

Second - PLEX - used to interact with CCP, other players, non official marketplace (trading, contracts) - The new currency in game.


We are observing that PLEX displaces ISK in game, that means much more ISK is exchanged to PLEX immediately because PLEX have better rate of return than all other things in game.
You should examine situation better, maybe rollback PLEX changes and do research about better iteration.
Maybe you should remove ISK or PLEX, or return to old P.L.EX.

Small summary:
Primary currency-> PLEX > ISK because:

Inflation
Rate of return
SKIN's -> PLEX >>> ISK (interaction with CCP)
P2P -> PLEX >>> ISK (interaction with CCP)
Extractors/Injectors/Skills -> PLEX >>> ISK (interaction with CCP and other players)
CHARACTER TRADING -> PLEX > ISK (interaction with CCP and other players)
Trading ships - subcaps -> ISK > PLEX
Trading ships caps -> PLEX > ISK
Official marketplace -> ISK
Manufacturing -> ISK
Bills (corp, alliance) -> ISK
PI -> ISK
and many more...


We are so sad because E.V.E. is our "second life", and we hate view in our mind that we can see how all this is dying.

We want speak about this issue, we want participate in repair program.
We know that balancing game is fast method to check situation, but without negotiations with players that will not work.



i love EVE as you do, so make it our better world

Move along, nothing to see here - if you are not interested.

So should we go back to three currencies? Aurum Plex and Isk? Isk only? What would you like to see done?

I want my darn Aurum brought over from DUST514 since ccp screwed everyone that actually played and gave hope for that failure.

I like how in the posts how "we" and "you" is used.
There were 3 currencies, now there are 2. That's better than it was before.

Bolded the crucial bit.
The real joke is that you thought progression in a computer game had meaning.
This -probably fictional- friend you mentioned cannot buy the knowledge or connections you should have accumulated during ten years of play, cannot be given them.
For such an ostensibly hyper-capitalistic game, EvE sure shows how social connections are more important than (and the best way to get to) money and power.

Listen up you peasants, all of you....

Implement real money system. Screw isk, let's make this for real. Get your credit cards now, all you do in-game has now REAL LIFE VALUE, yes real life value, I am not talking about the misinterpretation of real life value that most of you that failed statistics and economics class have, I am talking about EVERYTHING YOU DO IN-GAME, you need to do using real life money.

So, that would be the simplest solution.

But yeah I forgot, most of you won't do it because you are afraid to lose money, yes, real money, not the unreal money (that you all believe is real money) each time some idiot loses a titan.

I've been playing this game off and on since 2003 I've seen some stuff let me tell you.
Back in the day you could be banned for selling isk, it was a huge deal. Then CCP started selling isk itself in the form of plex and that was then totally fine somehow. PLEX should not be sold for real world currency, it allows the weak and lazy to use real world currency to exploit the game mechanic of having to earn what you have in this wonderful sandbox.
I look with great disdain on anyone who uses real world currency to further their position in the EVE universe, always have, always will. If you buy plex to sell on the market for isk you are weak and in no way have earned what you have in the game, I for one am not impressed by your shiny.
Skill injectors, skill extractors, multiple pilot training certificates (which should be standard), the list goes on it seems without limit or compunction for squeezing every last cent out of the loyal subscribers....SMGDH

Carry On.
