Would it be pay to win if, CCP sold drones for AUR that lets you look through gates and see what's on the other side? Doing this exists in the form of paying RL currency for a second account, why not scale price/functionality down and give us these camera spy drones thingies that look like this.

Yes, it's pay to win because not everyone would be willign to spend real life money on something like that. Besides, you can get this nfo on the map already if you know what to look for.

I don't know about AUR necessarily, but those drones would be awesome.
Although it's doubtful CCP will do it because it's one of the reasons people get alts. "The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive." ~Kenneth Williams |

Do you have a better way to curb Gold or isk farming? Plex is fine. What's next? Spending Aurum for T3 Weapons...We've been down this path before. They damn near burned Jita to the ground.
No Aurum for any type of strategic advantage.
Aurum is fine for cosmetic. I'd love to see Aurum to have custom paint jobs or Corp Logos or Pirate eye patches. "The American Government indoctrination system known as public education has been relentlessly churning out socialists for over 20 years". - TravisWB |

Using AUR as I proposed would make life alot easier for everyone using trial accounts as scouts.
Also rejecting Aur and accepting PLEX is pure hypocrisy. [PROPOSAL] INGAME ADVERTS FOR PLAYERS |

It's possible that CCP thinks the act of scouting should require a character and not a drone, aur/plex/cash or whatever else not really mattering.
Multiple accounts being pay to win is another issue though. Cooperative play using 2 accounts is just that. 2 characters cooperating. The game doesn't really care if the same person is controlling both or 2 separate persons. Is this game breaking? No more than giving someone plex in exchange for scouting you really. |

Sounds like you're still worried that your second account will get shot.
You'll break a plex to buy a drone to send through a gate, and ***** that people already do that by using second accounts? You'll break a plex. A plex. Plex.
Why wouldn't you just use the plex for a second account? We both know you'd use isk to buy the plex to get the Aur. If you actually had a brain.

It should be LP, not Aurum. The Empyrean Age described how the Gallente and Caldari send very expensive cloaked drones through gates to track enemy ship movements on the other side (i.e. to look for a military build-up.)
-1 for Aurum/Pay to Win +1 for having Peeping Tom spy drones -1 for even proposing such an idea when CCP can't even let us look outside a station window to see who's on grid before undocking.

Glad you could come to the logical conclusion. The same that many people who box with scouts do. In addition if you finally make it big and decide to break the bank and buy a capital ship that scout account is good for making two additional cyno alts so that you can jump quickly to other locations. |

Considering that all items in game as of now can be resold for ISK to other players, and considering there's more PLEX in curculation than needed for accounts subscription purposes, this means these so-called "pay to win" drones (and any other item that will ever be NEX-sold for AUR) will end up sold for ISK on the open market in enough quantities eventually to reach a stable price and heavy market presence, thus rendering their "pay to win" moniker irrelevant, as they would become "just another item".
So you can drop the whole "pay to win" angle and consider JUST THE ITEM ITSELF as good or bad, on its own merits (use/function). Where the item comes from (and how much it costs) is of a very distant secondary importance. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/User:Akita_T T2 BPO poll: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=114789 Buying this: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=147098 |
