PLEX is very expensive right now thread

2- It is, because you (fallaciously) assume that there would be that volume of sites to complete in a 24hr period. Also, 30k people running content of this type would entail everyone dropping what they are doing what they are doing, head to HS, and only run this content.

There are 1,090 HS systems. That means that over the course of an hour there would need to be 1,250 spawns. That is not crazy.

@Salvos_Rhoska

3- I specifically said that the 30k figure, regardless of how you apply it, is a spurious and contrived figure not of my introduction

Just because you say something does not make it true. I could say you are a hippopotamus…but that does not make you hippopotamus.

@Salvos_Rhoska

There will not be 30k accounts/individuals running this content, nor will there be enough spawns to result in 30k completions per day.

So it is even more worthless.

Look…just drop it.

@Salvos_Rhoska

A) Havens dont reward PLEX.

Oh FFS…

@Salvos_Rhoska

5- In other words, they wont reduce CCPs income from PLEX purchases, as was your premise.

Yes, they will. Every PLEX drop is revenue out of CCP’s wallet. Even if it is just 1. Now 1 is minimal and CCP would be fine. But you aren’t talking about 1 are you? No. You want to lower the PLEX price, but not have a substantial impact on CCP’s revenues. You have set your self two goals that work against each other.

@Salvos_Rhoska

7- It wont reduce CCPS income as:

A) PLEX price is not significantly decreased.

Every PLEX that drops in game is a PLEX somebody did not have to buy from CCP. Ergo, CCP’s income drops.

You are literally contradicting yourself. You are assuming that a small amount at one level will not aggregate up into a much larger value.

How much do you pay for electricity/kWh? I bet it is probably something like $0.10-$0.15/kWh. Why your electrical bill must be tiny, right? Well if you use 400 kWh your electric bill is no $40-$60…suddenly not so small. And if you use 4,000 it is $400 to $600. You are suffering from a severe blindness to the fallacy of composition.

@Salvos_Rhoska

I specifically stated that there will not be enough spawns in HS, to allow for 30k completions per day.

Back tracking noted.

So you’ll make it even less effective. Noted.

Why should we waste Dev time doing something pointless and that will likely get one of those Devs fired in the end?

@Salvos_Rhoska

Inorder for 30k completions to occur per day, as was YOUR premise, there would have to be a ludicrously large spawn pool that would average out as 27 spawns of this site in a day in EACH AND EVERY HS SYSTEM, so +1 per hour in AND EVERY HS SYSTEM.

Yes, an you said that they’d be run in 10 minutes and then instantly respawn somewhere else. Could there be enough people looking for and doing these so that they are largely always being done? If so how many would that be?

Let’s say we have 1 system. And it takes 10 minutes to do a spawn. And when done a new one spawns. That would imply there would be 6/hour. Lets say 5 because hey…people might have to find them. So if this were true for all 1,090 HS systems then we’d have 5 * 1,090 * 24 = 130,800 spawns. Yes?

Now you say, “NO! I won’t allow that many (as if you were a Dev).” Fine. So lets say it is 1 spawn/HS system/hour. Again how many is that? 1,090/hour no? That is now 26,160 Spawns. Again still too high? Maybe we’ll only allow 1 spawn/10 HS systems…now we are down to just no effect on the in game price. And since each PLEX dropped is a PLEX not bought from CCP it is money out of CCP’s wallet.

You have literally shot yourself out of the saddle here.
