Buy it with RL money. Few people in this game will agree, but if you ask me, thatā€™s the best way. Personally, i get enough grinding in RL and prefer to do fun stuff when i play videogames. Shrug, to each his own. To me, grinding ISK is no fun. If you enjoy it, then welcome! The carebears in this game grind the ISK that the rest of us feed on, so thank you. ---

It depends _entirely_ on how much you are spending. Iā€™ve bought PLEX tooā€¦but stopped recently as I had more ISK than I knew what to do with, and ships galoreā€¦some of which I have not even had time or skills to fit yet. Also, there is a huge amount of all the ISK accumulated over the months that is tied up in ships that just sit there and will probably never be used. Do I really _need_ 10 Gnosis ?

Me too, but the net result is I have a huge collection of ships and have not brought in PLEX for months because ( other than the small ganking ships ) I rarely lose them.

> [@Altara\_Zemara](#): > > Me too, but the net result is I have a huge collection of ships and have not brought in PLEX for months because ( other than the small ganking ships ) I rarely lose them. So it all reaches a sort of equilibrium. Plex is a great way to make isk. Especially when youā€™re me and get bored easily with grindy stuff. And, sadly, EvE has been, uninteresting the last month or so, and the one thing that piqued my interest I couldnā€™t attend due to a RL conflict. (I had my bi-annual visitation right. Mom came to visit me in prison. She tried to slip me a shiv, but got caught ā˜¹ ). So, Iā€™ve been taking a break from it. Been trying to beat Civ VI on deity. I hate how the other civs can just gank me. Praxis really needs to remove domination victory.
