Let say that CCP decided that PLEX was a hassle for them to deal with since owing unused game time made the vulture investors unhappy.
Let say all PLEX was wiped out and the owners would be given game time in replace.
In order to play again, you will like everyone else pay a subscription fee, just like WOW.
Would you still be playing? Would you have as many accounts as you currently have? "Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth."

Gone in a flash. Hell, I'd be paying thousands of pounds a year with the amount of PLEX I go through. |

I would rejoice.
PLEX is a blight that brought many detrimental changes to EvE, its removal would be the first step to returning EvE to its former glory.

I would not pay by subscription, PLEX only for me. CCP are still paid with PLEX so there is no good reason to abolish it. They would lose ALOT of revenue from stopping it so yeah not happening. |

I sub via PLEX, I have done so since I was made redundant, I have more essential things to pay for with real cash like food and a roof over my head. CCP can't patch stupid. |

Op forgot you can still buy GTC's. Maybe with PLEX removed they'll go back to their old price level.

Yeah I'd still play, it would make risking an expensive ship more exciting if you had to earn all the ISKies that went into it the hard way. *rage quit would be a real possibility* |

I would drop down to 1 character.
And I would play the game for the games sake instead of playing the game to pay my subscription to play the game.

Yeah those investors would get real mad about being paid up front for a service they might never have to provide. |

Haven't plexed in years----I'm already working to meet bills and rent IRL why make my hobbies that way too? Also, if you can't afford the equivalent to two big mac meals a month you've got seriously financial problems and should be taking care of them instead of playing a video game (feed your kids goddamnit!). |

I pay, purely because I can mess around and do what I like without having the worry of making sure there's enough isk in my wallet each month.

I actually make more per hour in EVE than I could by working IRL and buying PLEX... EVE would be my biggest yearly expense if I paid with real cash - more than running my car |

I wouldn't mind. If you can't afford $15 a month then there are more important things you should be worrying about then a game. Multi accounts would suffer, but then again alts do have a negative impact as well. |

I would quit EVE for sure. Not because there are no more PLEX, but because there are no more people playing the game. Get rid of PLEX and watch at least half the players go with it. |

Considering that I don't really actively play, I'd be wondering why bother.
Once in a while I might subscribe for a month to take care of my investments. Nyan |

I would not quit, but would drop one account. Id also start looking around more for other recreational activities, and if I found one, then I would quit.
Lets also look at the other side:
If CCP dropped the PLEX, would you add accounts? Do you know anyone who would get a sub, or re-sub, if the PLEX was dropped? http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

Same here for my two accounts.

Same here, but I buy PLEX every once in a while with ISK if I'm in the mood.
If PLEX were removed I would still subscribe. |

I'm no economics expert but I suspect Pilot License Extensions (PLEX) play some kind of role within the game's overall economy, player memberships aside I wonder what the absense of PLEX would do to the in game market and people's ability to afford shiny expensive stuff by cashing in PLEX for isk.
With that said I like to play games the old fashioned way where you actually make your income in game instead of just buying in so the end of PLEX wouldn't really affect my choice to continue playing.
