another one of these BS, threads again. THIS IS NOT PAY TO WIN. admittedly, using the boosters do let you unlock things sooner then others, but someone who doesn't use them will always be able to catch up eventually. Does it seem unfair? maybe, but anyone who wants to seriously play the game can easily get a 30 day booster with another potential 35 days from the 40k aur you can also get.
but id like to emphasize that PAY TO WIN = being able to buy something with real money that gives you an unfair advantage over someone else, and "unfair" in this case means = something you could only obtain through purchasing with real money.
I also want to emphasize that when the free market starts up eventually everyone could have the ability to BUY BOOSTERS WITH ISK! thus making it so that you wouldn't have to worry about RL money at all if you get good enough at the game. |

Yea, I think you might be disappointed with the price.....
not at all, a PLEX on eve online costs 600,000,000 isk right now, many people can make twice that in a day. ONE plex = 30 day subscription. so lets do a little math.
PLEX = 30 days at 600,000,000 isk
Booster = 7 days. 600,000,000 / 30 = 20 million per day X 7 = 140 million for one week,
however, thats what it would be for EVE online, not dust. If you consider the rediculous inflation on eve, one would think that isk on dust is worth FAR MORE PER ISK then it is on eve right now. So considering that, its possible to think that the price for a 7 day booster can range anywheres between 10 million and 100 million. The exact price will be decided whenever they let us sell AUR on the market, once we find out how many isk per Aur we get, will be able to see how much a booster will cost in isk.
anyway the point im trying to make is that, it'll be expensive to newer players, but those who put enough time into it will be able to make more then enough to pay for it. |
