The 30-day GTC was what convinced me to upgrade my trial account to a full one when I started playing more than a year ago. Financially I would find it less easy to buy a more expensive 60-day card.

Wrong in so many different ways, especially the statement that this is to be in line with some "industry" standard that it seems only World of Warcraft and two other MMOs adhere to. All others seem to give one of the following choices: 30 and 90 30, 60 and 90 15, 30 and 60
Its a bit shocking that the current response has been limited to a repeated quotation of the original news post and the fact its not changing the other payment options. I think we understood that which is why a 14 or so page thread is in General Discussion as people understand and are unhappy with CCP's approach in this matter. |

There are better things than choice - streamlining systems to make them more efficient and better for all. Sometimes less is more!
To give you an exmaple, there are only x amount of potential codes left under the current system and they're spread against types which may or may not sell very well. Has anyone even seen many of the 50/100 codes for sale? People had their choice and the majority ignored 50% of them. Why waste a large proportion of your potential codes on something that won't shift? By unifying the structure 100% of the codes have 100% potential to be sold.
Then there are the in-game Economic factors. At the moment a 30 day code sells for approx 150m and 90 days for approx 350m. Sellers of 90 day codes get a raw deal for their higher purchase cost whilst buyers save a good 100m opting to buy a 90 day code instead of paying 450m for 3x 30 days. This is plainly out of balance and unfair to 30 day buyers and 90 day sellers.
By limiting codes to 60 days only balance is restored - the buyer can pay a flat rate for their time and the seller won't get ripped off buying a higher code and selling it for less than it's equivalent value. Everybody wins... in theory...
The only problem I personally have with the 60 day codes is the price. $35 seems a bit steep for a 60 day GTC when you can get a 90 day ETC for $39? |

Maybe they're too afraid to say anything knowing how angry we are at them. |

I have characters I only need for 1/2 weeks at a time, and I don't want to sub them for a full two months.
You can pay per month on Visa, why are you discriminating against those who want to pay per month on GTC? |

/signed I like 30 days, 60days and 90 days cards because it gives users more options in choosing how long they'll play. It also gives an ISK buyer who exchanges the gtc card for isk greater control of how much isks he/she is going to "buy". For example now the player could securely exchange a 30 day gtc card for approx 160-170m isk .. but now that option will be unavailable to the player and he/she will have to "buy" more isks for a 60 days gtc even if the player doesn't need that much.. I suggest we keep the current gtc system.  |
