EVE General Discussion

The day they honor 365 days for the yearly subscription instead of the 5 days they steal. I am going to let my account lapse if they do not honor my 5 days. I am sure my money will be welcome by another company.

if you pay for 12 months you only get 360 days.

I had a GM honor the 5 extra days once.

So I pay for a yearly subscription last week but they actually REFUNDED My credit card when I open a petition to get my 5 days credited.

The GM said screw you. I posted my old petition where a GM game the 5 days and they still said screw you we are not honoring it.

Every 73 accounts that pay with real money add up to 365 days in "lost"/stolen game time.

The New GM are very bad with customer service.

Here is the proof:

Plex is not an isk sink. The isk goes from the purchaser to the seller, from the seller back into the economy.

As for the rest of your statements, I was not aware of fanfest's influence since I don't really pay attention to that news. It would make sense though and probably a significant contributor. Current pricing is most likely due to speculation due to a number of factors including fanfest.

About 400 million because the hours to make 400 million cost far more than 15 bucks. Unless you are cheating or something. but 400 million is not too hard and is by and far by product but if people are grinding to pay for plex...

But if I didn't have 15 bucks to spend on a game then plex is cool. One of the best things I ever seen any game. People who want isk get it and people who want to play get too. Better than gold sink Ebay sellers. The isk is not fake so it is all good.

I would rather not spend 4 hours grinding (working?) for the 450mil ISK it takes for a PLEX when I can spend 4 hours working (grinding?) for real life cash equivalent to 3 and a bit PLEX (or subsequent gametime). I don't consider PLEX free account time because the amount of time I spend getting ISK for it lowers the amount of time I spend getting real life cash at a greater rate than the money i save per hour by grinding enough to have a "free" account.

As for the OP's question ummm.... I stopped buying PLEX for gametime the instant I figured I could acquire gametime + real life cash for the same amount of effort that getting enough ISK to acquire a PLEX takes. At my current in game income/hour compared to my out of game income/hour, I would only pay for PLEX with ISK if it was priced at around 150mil ISK. anything more than that just wastes real life money by grinding, unfortunately :/

Well since I have a grown up real people job, if I work at my job I can make %15 waaaaaaaay faster than I can grind in eve to get a PLEX.

Although I live in null and don't farm incursions.........

This.

I can easily afford PLEX for all my accounts year in and year out. The problem is that a PLEX for each account really takes a chunk out of my disposable income ingame at current prices, thus preventing me from enjoying EVE as I have to grind isk to be able to lose stuff.

So its easier to just pay with $. Ends up multiplying my ingame profit by a significant amount plus the infaltion on PLEX doesn't effect me.

I rather pay isk for a sub then cash , so allthough i got a job i'll stick to paying in PLEX till the 1B a plex for sure.Maybe if it goes above 1 B i'll reconsider how many accs i want to keep subbed IF one at all.

Mostly depends on how fast or slow you make isk in the game and the amount of grind you need for each to decide paying plex or cash.

I normally pay in 6-month subscriptions, so its really about $12.50/month.

For awhile, I had a monthly subscription in Second Life that was $300-$350 (moderate land holdings, partially paid by others). The average land 'subscription' in SL is $25/month (also GameTap, which was the second hoster for Uru / Myst Online).

At those rates, paying for one or two Eve accounts do not sound so bad.
