As CCP are trying to get more paying clients, I’m surprised they haven’t decided to offer better offers to subscription paying players, not plex subscription that use ingame aquired plex. So any one the purchases subscription through the Steam store or CCP subscription web page which is how omega was only available before plexing became available. Ideally omega stays the same for plexing, but realworld purchased subscriptions should gain some benefit for purchasing solely subscription and not injecting plex into EVE, as CCP have been trying to encourage players to buy subscription, maybe give players a real reason to do so. Make the benefit match the amount of the subscription, thus a 12month purchased subscription gains a rare skin or item, and lesser subscriptions gain less value items or skins. Or maybe just a flat x3 or x4 skill point benefit while these subscriptions are active. That alone would encourage players to pay for subscriptions, as we all knew we have skills that we want, but can’t allocate training just for those long train time skills. Anyhow just an spitball of an idea. **remember as noted above this doesn’t effect current omega or plexing for omega** ---

But… CCP makes MORE profit off of Plexed subscriptions compared to direct subscriptions. This idea makes no sense. If anything, it should be the other way around. ---

In that case by your thought they should just remove subscription purchases and force players to plex subscription. ---

We already have 2 tiers of players, Alpha and Omega. Why do we want/need a third tier? Also as someone else said Omega paid for by PLEX is actually more expensive than if using real life money. ---

Same in with a good group, only reason suggested this was had a few asking why bother subing when they could just farm and plex. Which raised the question whats the benefit of subing realworld. ---

The benefit to subbing with real world cash, to me at least, is to not have a second job. I can login and do whatever I want with that feeling of having to earn enough isk to get my next fix of Omega. I am perfectly happy with the benefits that Omega currently gives. Do I want more stuff for the same price? Sure. Do I need that to continue paying for a sub? No, I do not. So my “idea” is to keep things exactly how they are. ---

This thread is giving me déjà vu > [@Nerfing Capitals vs Nerfing Plexed Capital Multiboxing: Capitals allowed on cash paid subs only](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/nerfing-capitals-vs-nerfing-plexed-capital-multiboxing-capitals-allowed-on-cash-paid-subs-only/236465/8): > > Absolutely not. Under no circumstances should there ever be a differentiated PLEX-Omega and a $$$-Omega. There will be only one Omega equally redeemable by either mechanism, end of story. As @Xeux already pointed out, PLEX is more profitable to CCP than actual subs. Also, PLEX helps regulate the economy by serving as an ISK sink. The fact that someone paid ISK for PLEX does not negate the fact that the PLEX was ultimately bought by someone else with $$$. Can you imagine what it would be like in real life if you bought a gift card (ignore the fact that few people use gift cards anymore) for a subscription to give to someone, but they had limited access to that subscription just because they weren’t the ones to buy the gift card? It’s the same BS with what you’re proposing. With all due respect, what you’re proposing is an impractical solution to a non-existent problem. Better formulate the actual problems that need to be solved, and then identify more direct and simpler solutions. ---

I cannot recall a single time that I crunched the numbers to find PLEX packages cheaper than their sub packages (in terms of PLEX-\>Omega), not even promotional packages (when PLEX/MCTs/other goods where bundled with subs, or PLEX packages had even more bonus PLEX than they usually do, etc) ---
