If you are tying to PLEX your account with ISK playing 14 hours a day, EVE is no longer a game. It’s your job. Just pay a sub fee and enjoy the game…

If it goes up that much i will mine mate, your mining skills are worth nothing.  
And i will still PvP in wttfil 🙂

Like we did years ago just fine… but without you little whiney s\*\*\*s asking for more afk profits and safety.

I mean safety, in a game… YOUR SAT IN A CHAIR IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN BLOODY HOME!

PLEXing your account is a OPTION for you if you have the ISK for it and do not need it. Only reason you can PLEX is because someone bought the PLEX for real money to trade for ISK.

Nobody cares if you can or can not PLEX your account. Its a GAME, have FUN and stop doing calculations on how many hours you need to play to PLEX.

Understood there…but I am in a wormhole… I am about to re-scan a few moons to see if these changes have taken place. No hi-sec here. This is why I am wondering if this will make it worth it or not for what I am doing in the hole.

So, since this change literally took place in between my scanning of the moons that had ore and the time it took me to go get an Athanor and start anchoring it, I see now the ores are gone from scans.

My next question is, what to do with this cheap garbage from the moon I won’t be using? Do I mine it? How does this all work now with the standup drill and those of us who mine?

My timing in getting into this moon mining thing was exactly the worst time it seems. I live in a little class 1 wormhole… It would seem that the belts are the in-between of low and null…yet they make the moons hi-sec quality? Just doesn’t seem to make any sense to me…and a massive waste of time for anyone except nullsec corps.

Still waiting on this timer to anchor…then have to turn around and unanchor. SMH… Scratch one thing off the list of things to do.

I agree that if “someone” is doing that then it would begin to feel like a job.

I’m positing an idea, not taking a position mate.

You’re exactly right.  
The truth is that if CCP was my company I certainly wouldn’t want you plexing your account but I know a lot of people who do.  
you_emphasized text_ might choose to spend real currency but not everyone does.

Actually, it benefits CCP if someone PLEX’s their account. Someone had to buy the PLEX from CCP in the first place, and it costs more for 500 PLEX than it does for a subscription.

I’ve been paying for 2 accounts for around 8 years now. I took on a third that I thought I’d plex, or leave alpha when not in use. The way the changes are going, I’ve unsubbed all my accounts, and only plan on plexing the main account here and there when I’ve farmed up the isk for it.

It just strikes me as pointless to pay for a sub, with all of the options available to alphas. Even if plex doubles in price, casual play should be enough to plex the main account with a few gaps here and there. So what though, I really don’t even see the point in plexing at all, to be quite honest.

That seems like a very sad game state, when I’m considering play for free on a long term basis, instead of paying for a sub. It doesn’t seem like a good business model for CCP. They’re a business, they’re in it to make money and feed their families, or entice share holders. Not provide a free gaming service.

I’ll be interested to see how everything plays out. It doesn’t seem sustainable to me. But, we’ll see.

You have a lot of salt over a change that we were warned is coming…

Heck Level 4 missions with loot + salvage in High Sec are doing well to make 30M isk per hour at BEST. I have never been able to diplicate any isk per hour that anyone has ever shared on this forum. So either everyone is blowing smoke or the loot RNG is screwed.

It is you who is the problem. I don’t know how much dps you get or how you run missions but I get 60M w/o trying… when I want isk I can get to 200M/h. The key is in knowing which missions to do, which to blitz and which to reject. And I don’t know how you can get only 30M… that is basically reward + salvage from a single mission… and you can do at least two of them per hour. Are you skilled properly?

I am not surprised… but it won’t be tornado - it will be maller that hits you in 0.8s.

SOE arc systems are not newbie zone - protection there is only towards pilots with less than 30 days of age that are running SOE mission.

Why do you want to make ships? There are hundreds of thousands of them in hangars… this is why shortage is needed and takes so long - because it takes a while to eat through them all.

out a third upgrade there and add drones + boost… skiff mines at about 2x the rate of orca.

I am at over 30m3/s with skiff without perfect skills and no implants… secret sauce is mine 🙂

I live in 0.5 and see at most 5 orcas in the system.

Won’t lie, i’m salty af.  
I had been asking for a month for more information so I could decide if I wanted to put up the stations I farmed 2 months to pay for. Gambled that CCP wouldn’t remove ALL trit from ubiquitous moon ore, lost. Now i’m dealing with the aftermath of my choices, based on deliberately withheld information from CCP that could have otherwise stopped me from making those choices.

So yeah, I’m absolutely salty.

That is what you get for gambling. If you speculate you are running the risk of doing wrong prediction. On the bright side they may increase consumption of R4 so it may still be profitable.
