How Much It Costs to PLEX Your Account

CCP has done this quite a lot over the time since SP farms became a thing to drive players into “using” the accounts and playing on them to increase player counts and metrics, as well as prey for hunters. The drive for longer subs, through PLEX and game time deals, has also been a way to eat up excess PLEX and to ensure longer turn around times on SP farms. More time cost and bigger outlays needed which means the likelihood of more actual “playing” the accounts is generated.

IMO it forces bigger investments, larger sunk cost and account usage versus just plain jane “log in once a month” to have accounts issue it was before. So players need to plan on what to do with the accounts more and might need to fund them more so in the future as PLEX and sub costs rise and fall. Even a strategy of moving between cash and PLEX can be used as well for some players at least and to a larger extent rotating “crop fields” can net a good and valuable return for those savvy enough to see the gains over the long term.

PS- thanx for the break down.
