Just a thought about something that may have been mentioned 250+ posts ago but:
is it any surprise PLEX goes up and CCP release new ways of mining more minerals (ergo to push prices of ships down thanks to glut in supply)? They want whales to afford even more ships? I remember the days when a scorpion cost 44mil and a plex was 380. Now PLEX is like 1.5bil (so roughly 4x as expensive) and a scorpion is 169 (so roughly 4x as expensive). By driving the price of ships down they actually make it easier to afford ships relative to shelling out $ which in theory would be good for the game.
Not worth playing anymore, consider the fact people have lives, jobs, education, etc. And donât have the time to become a slave labor, And not rich like most of these people who has nothing better to do with their lives than troll games, crash markets, destroying the games reputation with malicious intent solely for fun of it because they can harass and do whatever they like in this game. call it tears, laugh about it. you are the that very person whoâs behind it all. you know who you are. there are limits and those with deep pockets are the worst, many of you have defied those limits to what makes a game great, relaxing, affordable, fun, social. so yes. i am definitely done with this game, all my friends has already left the game, so CCP, you seem to enjoy losing money.
Example of one of those people who just reply, and most likely a lot more to show their disrespect for this game and itâs future. just because i never voice my concerns on forums is that i am a happy person. but even that has reached itâs limit. now that i do voice an opinion it will get trashed by the trolls that i mentioned.
I am curious if we can make a âPLEX is getting cheaper againâ or a âPLEX is stagnating nowâ thread soon or if the latest dent in the graph was just a temporary event.
Iâm not enjoying it at all. I buy plex for game time, the rising price makes it harder for me to do that, and at some point I might have to resort to paying cash for 1 of them, or eventually for all 3 I currently maintain. Thatâs 45 bucks a month.
And I can afford 45 bucks a month, or I wouldnât have come to be used to playing 3 accounts in EVE online, unlike the poor complainers who started playing multiple accounts they could not afford to pay real life cash for because plex was so cheap in the past.
What it comes down to is that people got used to a thing that they shouldnât have, and when the inevitable happened (everyone with any sense knows that something that everyone wants and uses will eventually go up in price, itâs a fact of life), they freak out in irrational ways instead of learning the proper lesson, which is DONT PLAY GAMES YOU CANT AFFORD IN THE FIRST PLACE.
No I donât like rising plex prices, but I knew I was using a luxury items that was way to cheap to be good, so I limited myself to no more accounts than I could pay cash for in anticipation of the day when plex prices caught up with reality.
Plex price complaining that we see every month is imo an example of how some people canât really take any responsibility for their mistakes.
For just 50 cents per day you can feed a starving child in a 3rd world countryâŚor if that starving child has a computer and internet access you can save that 50 cents each day for 30 days and pay for his eve account and heâll be too busy complaining about CCPâs development decisions to remember that heâs starving!
Yellow parasol
No for CCP the more people buy PLEXs - the better. PLEX is bought for real world currency initially in any case. If the demand will start dropping that will effectively mean less players buying those items from shop, less people buying Omega accounts and as a result less income for CCP.
