Give them a couple of days to get stuff sorted - the devs are at Fanfest still and it will take a few days to get everything back into order...

I think Goonswarm already has IN GAME contracts where you can exchange 20 PLEX for a card |

Meh, the 560ti is a much better card. I might have cared if it was better spec than a crappy base 560 |

"much better" is now 3 -8 fps improvement.
i'l definatly be wanting the 560. in a few years i could sell it or use it as a physx card if needed, heck it would make a good budget gaming card in a few years easy. i had 5 plex lying around, so i'l grind and hopefully get enough to pick one up. |

Doing a little armchair math here (in USD) 20 plex at $17.99 = $359.8
I got my MSI (ridiculous part name) 560ti for ~$230 or 12.78 plex
I guess if you can grind out the 20 plex its a good deal |

well a gtx 560 is worth about 170 EUR. a GTX 680 costs more than 500. so if they would offer a gtx 680 you could expect a price of 60 plex (fyi that would equal 1000 EUR). Same with the GTX 560, if you would buy plex with money and buy a gtx 560 with that you would pay 340 EUR, twice as much as the gtx 560 is actual worth atm
although plex for a graphics card is nice i think the pricing is way too high and not really fair. Ofc every eve player would only pay ISK to get the plex but still the price is way to high for what you actually get |

Plex for video card is an obvious plex sink designed to remove large stores of plex from the game. If you can't afford a 560 but can afford to grind out enough isk to buy 20 plex you might want to rethnk your whole life. |

Since there's no real way to translate ISK into real life money GTX 560 for plex basically just means a free graphics card
I wouldn't usually have any reason to buy a new GPU, but since I'm not doing anything else with my ISK I'll be trying to grab one of these when they put the promotion up. Which I suppose was their intent.
Touch+¬, CCP marketing department, you sly bastads. Suckering me into buying a GTX 560 I don't need. -áhttp://i.imgur.com/aWNfM.jpg |

Its a good deal for the RL scrubs that cannot afford a cheap graphics but are willing to grind ISK in game. |

Of course the price is fair. The intention is not for a player to buy PLEX with RL$ to buy this. They are offering people who cannot afford it IRL the opportunity to purchase it with in-game ISK to PLEX conversions. In that context it is a fair price because the comparison to RL cost is meaningless. |

Well, of course its not cheap = 300Gé¼ for a 150Gé¼ card (don't mix it up with the 560ti...its not the same).
BUT....many here play in countries where 150Gé¼ is alot of money, and so why not. If more ppl can play EvE because of this, then do it. It also helps getting isk out of the game. |

This. Want to make sure the program is all nice and in order for the 100 we've got for it. Glad everyone is interested though, I think it's kinda cool.

I feel the need to point out that while this got overshadowed by a lot of really good stuff from fanfest*, this whole plan to sell RL stuff for PLEX is way over the line IMHO
Even running this in a 'limited trial' sense, what you've done is created a system for legalized and legitimized RMT. People with 10b isk to blow could easily walk away with a graphics card worth $180 on ebay, and i would not be surprised if organized RMT groups try to buy up a whole bunch of them for resale. It's pretty much a risk-free and CCP endorsed way to turn internet spacebucks into RL cash.
You guys should seriously step back and rethink this, as there's no way this is good for the game. Everyone i knew was basically incredulous the second it was announced.
*props where props are due ofc, i think a lot of things revealed at FF have been good. This thing, though, it's awful. Don't do it. |
