For some people, having spare money to transfer characters around isn't realistic.
So, seeing as we can activate, and maintain our accounts using ISK by way of PLEX's, should we be able to transfer characters to other accounts using ISK too?

It won't happen because it has a direct impact on CCP's profits.

Maybe by using Plex or quivalent. But NOT by using ISK

Not going to happen. The best you could hope for, and what has been suggested before, is a token system like the plex. Basicly people could buy a character transfer token with real money and sell them on the in game market for ISK.

The functionality of paying with PLEXes for out-of-game stuff is implemented and can currently be seen on SiSi.
The question is: will CCP use this only for fanfest passes, or for other things (portrait swap, character transfer, ...) as well?
IMO paying with PLEX for portrait swaps is fine, but in case of character transfers CCP should implement a character owner history first (or any other of the suggested mechanisms that address the issues surrounding character transfers). |

The reason why character transfer is only done with RL money, and specifically only with CC, is because that means the RL owner can be traced and logged. Also meaning that it can be verified against the initial account info.
REmoving that requirement means that there's no control whatsoever over who owns (and trades) who's account. Because of that it's never going to change nor should it. ----------- ADM-I |

if said RL owner has always paid for the account in PLEX anyway, what is the logs being compared to? OHGODS BELOW THIS LINE IS MY SIG !!!! SRSLY! Blane Xero > Lance is at -0.9 sec status with a 1 million bounty. Lance is also amarrian. Thats 3 evil points |

wouldnt this make it easier for account theives? they hack the account, sell off everything and to make things easier for them and convinient they use the ISK to transfer the player accross.
its adouble edged sword as it also has bad side effect.

I think Marko was referring to the character transfers being paid for by CC. It makes sense. If someone other than the account holder transfers the character without the right to do so (say for instance someone hacks someone else, and logs into their account management page, then steals a character), then CCP will have credit card details they can pass on to the relevant authorities, who will then be able to go to whatever credit card company, and aquire the credit card holders details, and do whatever it is they do from that point.
It's a way for CCP to cover themselves, and cover the account holder of the character in question.
