And what about the peoples that grinded their arse out of the missions to get max standing?  Since you dont want to do it, lets just remove it then? Its a grind everybody agree on this, but if you want instant action gratification the game's not for you obviously.

   Its like saying:  ok remove kernel researching altogether. I dont like it and i dont want to do it. What? Some peoples/corp dedicated hundreds of hours into that? Nevermind, theyll just be happy i dont have to do it
Their time is less precious than mine its logical.....

Change of that kind (industry 2.0) that detrimentally affect older account to reduce the gap between them and new accounts, have 2 bad effects:

  -the vets feel scammed. They bought an extension level with a described effect, often very expensive, but now the described effect doesnt apply anymore. Saying "but your an industrial anyway, so no need for refund" totally exclude the fact that this game permit you to cross train whatever you want. The 30k EP spent in expert mass prod efficiency, that will give you at best 0,5% less material need for prod, would be very more useful to make a basinc prototyper or RE toon. Dont forget we are coming to the 800k EP mark for the oldest accounts, and this amount is the limit were cross training is better cause speccing is almost at max....

  -player wont trust anymore the "invariability" of said extension described effects. Why would i trust that my adv ballistic will forever add me 3% more dmg? This imo weakens the confidence players have in their build and therefor in the game continuity, reducing dedication of said players. And dedication is the beating heart of a sandbox.

All in all the signals i receive from those changes are: 

  -you paid from the beginning one or multiple accounts (seniority aspect), knowing very well that this would give you an advantage over newer players, more than actual online time (more than in fixed skillcap games or lvl character style games), but now we will reduce this advantage to something marginal because we feel like its frightening the new players.  New players retention come with fun, not with less gap between them and vets. WoW didnt improved players retention by letting lvl 30 characters beat lv 50 (its a complete different gameplay i know, its just for the rethoric)

  -game rules are subject to changes, like the game would be in beta. You take decisions about your character(s) that could be very well discarded by gamedesign changes. Without a way to change your decisions afterward.

Now for the ridiculous metaphor:

"Dont be sad you bought a ferrari FF 360k dollars man, because of the new engine limitation laws. You still go 5 kmph faster than a fiat wagon, and i know how you like speed!"

oh ok if the destruction ratio on explosion stay the same, then it looks like a good improvement for sure

Now with the Perp/eve comparison:  someone can tell me what was the number of active players when plex were introduced in Eve?  Certainly not around 100....  That kind of game mechanics must be supported by a good amount of players imo so no one feels too much the inequity between the irl "rich" and "poors"...

Introducing that would have a negative effect on the long term.  Peoples that simply think plex= more players... need to think more. And really, if that happens, and i have to play surrounded by chinese (or whatever nationality btw) farmers and full of bots...  farewell then.

And dont forget the tuner result get rounded each time. With 5/6 tuners it can modify the result quite a bit.

Mining liquizit needs many different operations, that are WAY more complex than just buying plex. Your example is pay to play to earn NIC, not pay to earn NIC

Show me how you mine liquizit with ten account, without macroing and almost unattended. Impossible imo

Double edit sorry.

Anyway, even with 10 afk sequers with one T4 miner mod:  you are talking about INGAME NIC creation. You will have to seel your tremendous amount of ore to get rich no?  You will have to find the ore spot, change each time its empty, geoscan each time with next mining patch....

Guys be honest with yourself. With 10 accounts, you can get rich, but with actually INTERACTING with the game. RMT can make you rich even without interacting. Its the death of a sandbox

Ville im surprised you got a such shortsighted vision of what plex actually does to a game. If you want real money=power, you dont need a fùcking sandbox mmo. IRL is full of it. Or at least go play a multi million players korean F2P P2W grind pseudo mmo...

Hum no Celebro. For the surplus of NIC to be evacuated in plex, one has to buy the subscription time first....  What it would do is in fact a temporary increase of incomes for AC. It would correspond to the real currency value of the sub time "inserted" into the game market.

  But, for one player to have a sub time, the real currency value must be paid beforehand. So there is not any problem of income for AC with Plex.  The true problem with it is that you can now have real currency=NIC, wich imo is very bad for the game world balance, the "pay to win" parameter, that many of us dislike.

  Imo any way of "buying" any ingame money, items, ect with real money must be avoided. The plex system in its essence is good for everyone. The problem is the guy that has 10K dollars that dunno what to do with them, buy many many game time items, then sell them at lower prices, *** the market etc...   It makes the ingame world economy vulnerable of real money.  So for me its a big no.

Nevermind its a post from another sandbox game forum that is quite similar to yours

I dont know if its because english is not my native language, but for me your post looks like made by a schyzophrenic high on amphetamins. Someone explain me plz.
