Can we discuss this in voice? Im away for the next 5 days on military training, but Im available after that to argue this in voice. ---

OK, so u don’t understand big companies sometimes pay commission to people who find them business. This is a common practice you should investigate. Also CCP pay the commission in the hope that your alt sub’s for longer than 1 payment. Also if you look carefully you will see that if you buy a 3 month, 6 month, or a years sub you save money. ---

Show me a company that pays you a bigger commission than the value of the service you directed a new client to? Show me how you or I paid for the cash value of the additional PLEX you got, when I merely subbed for my own use? I PAID CCP cash for my sub. You PAID CCP 0 cash for that PLEX. ---

You don’t understand commission or incentive based sales. This is on you. ---

> [@Aaron](#): > > You don’t understand commission or incentive based sales. This is on you. You dont understand, as I specifically said, that your “commission” is worth more in cash than my sub. You dont understand, that nobody, not you or I, paid CCP for the PLEX you got. **The only cash CCP received, was my sub money. Period.** The PLEX you got, earned them zero cash. Infact it cost them a sub/PLEX purchase, because you now have that PLEX without having paid CCP a single cent. How you do not understand such a simple concept. Mindboggling. ---

Right so u already know that all buddy program sales only last a month and never longer? You believe commission is never paid out before a few months of sub is paid? ---

TLDR: This thread, and other PLEX threads, are camped/trolled by people that dont want their PLEX business ingame to depreciate, no matter what the cost to CCP or the game. ---

> [@Aaron](#): > > You believe commission is never paid out before a few months of sub is paid? This is patently stupid and false. It doesnt matter if they sub for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. You still only get 1 PLEX, for free, that you never paid a cent for. If they sub with 500 PLEX, its just exchanging 1 PLEX for another, and CCP earns no new income on a new sub. ---
