Answer is in the last patch notes:
I can understand level 5 missions, but Level 4 Missions ? really ?
Also PLEX is so high that people who can not afford gametime with real money just quit the game.
Plex prices are controlled by players.
Why should alphas have access to higher game content without paying?
Why do we have alpha state then ?
Remove alpha state so only people who buy the game can play it.
What kind of logic is that? You can do A LOT in this game as an alpha clone. It gives you access to far more content than most trial accounts in other games do.
Eve used to have a 2 week trial. You were restricted on that. They extended it to allow players to play longer to decide if they want to sub or not. Great for students in college.
You don’t have to plex for Omega to play the game. You also don’t have to be Omega to play the game.
This gives me a nice answer to your question: Suggesting that plexing your account is a viable way of playing will make less people play EVE.
A lot of people would burn out on the game if they had to a boring grind for hours in order to be able to do a boring grind for hours the next month.
The alpha account is a trial at the end of the day. If you want more, then subscribe.
Oh no… They took away my free stuff!
Also… if you can’t afford $15 a month on a hobby, maybe it’s time not to spend time on games in general and fix your IRL situation.
PLEX price is directly controlled by CCP. Look last year. CCP had a multiple months long sale going and PLEX price went down as far as 2.6M ISK per unit. Since last summer, CCP has not had a PLEX sale at all (don’t make a fool of yourself and call that Valentine’s day a sale) and PLEX prices keep rising. CCP can influence the price very much and very directly with how they do sales.
What an interesting twist.
Also, da ■■■■ is this complaint about anyway? Alphas playing this game to run lvl4s? Wow, what a great way to have fun! How braindead do you have to be to find it fun running missions all day long?
Boo
■■■■■■■
hoo
Paying with PLEX is not a right, it’s a privilege.
Good riddance.
You can still play! FOR FREE!
Why did you like the initial post when you oppose it?
That Like confuses me.
I liked it
If all we lose are alpha players, good riddance. ■■■■■■■ freeloaders. Support a game that you enjoy, devs don’t work for free and servers don’t run on happy thoughts.
Obviously one of the lvl 4/lvl5 botter the normal alphas can thank for this.
Those restrictions go live because of the misuse and abuse of a small number of alphas that are targetted by that.
Go and thank those,ccp had no other choice than preventig the botting this way.
And this will not be the last restriction alphas will have to face.
Others will follow,but as i said.thanks to you and your alpha colleagues.
That’s easy. Stay the course.
