asaide from a agency mission we need a couple months ago, all plex have to be bought with real cash inorder to be ingame. so I say keno is right on that. you buy the 1 day injector straight ccp/market after reading the dev blog, it doesn’t have to be extracted from an omega and than sold like other skill injectors. ---

This changes the SP injector market somewhat, but since its 20PLEX per pop, its just more strain on PLEX anyways. ---

As the dev blog explained their were technical issues related to actually unlocking the training queue, this was the easier way to code it, but the effect was basically the same. Yes, you can access a skill a few hours sooner than if it unlocked the training queue and it had to be trained. And yes, really, it is the intent. It still provides in 1 day less SP than 1 day of Omega training. ---

Normal skill injector will give toon with over 80 milions SP 150 000 free skill points. With current price it costs 260 mini-plexes. If that toon will wait 3 days with activating Omega, he can get same free skill points for 60 mini-plexes. Of cause he will get more skill points if he turns on Omega time for those 3 days, but let say it is not needed for him (no time to play, time only to log in shortly). That calculation makes me believe, that it will not be only low pointed alphas, who will buy those 1-day injectors… Demand will be large. I think mini-Plex price will get through 4 milions quite fast. Cause CCP does not learn from aurum / extractors / ship skin mistakes. They still seeking how to make more people buy PLEX with real money, but instead of that just drive PLEX prices up. Cause no new thing they introduced added any new volume of PLEX on the market. We see as many plexes sold as years before… ---

And since you can only inject one of these per day, you will have to login everyday inorder to activate it. Might as well sub for 100 PLEX less, and not having to login everyday to activate another injector. ---

Thats what it is for, per the CCP description in the dev blog. Nonetheless, my point was that this is not a substitute for a months PLEX sub. Costs 600plex for 30days of injecting this, whereas it only costs 500 PLEX for a months sub. ---
