Lolz. This is going to be a fun Friday CCP bash thread. So to avoid jumping on the wagon I’ll comment on something else.
The plex pricing is a little screwy. It’s cheaper (admittedly by a few cents) to buy plex in 50 increments all the way up until you start the “bulk’ discount. That seems a bit weird
Congratulations CCP! You have once again proven to us where your priorities lie, and shown us it is not the players you care about most, but instead your bottom line. I will be unsubbing all of my accounts at the end of their Omega time.
Interesting. You’re right, there is no bulk discount for the smaller packages. I guess they wanted to give players more granular plex purchase options between 50 and 500 PLEX. From 1000 and beyond you get bulk discount.
I guess they didn’t want to use the ‘discount for larger packages’ all the way to the small packs - the new small package pricing allows players to make very small purchases to get just as much PLEX as they need, without feeling like they’re missing bulk discount that they would get with a package one size bigger. So players can buy 2x 50 packs for the same price as buying 1x 100, which I guess encourages more small purchases at that level.
I personally believe 20$ a month isn’t that horrible if the content we get is worth 20$ a month.
I am hopeful that CCP will use this to step in the right direction
So, yay from me. Although I believe a lot of people in my corp who have alts will unsubscribe some of them just because it now is too expensive for them to run 5-6 alts just for fun using real money.
