TBH if CCP is going to donate to Haiti they should do it with their money. Not create an artificial income stream so that they can appear to be donating but it's really not them.
I've already donated to Haiti, directly.

I hope you realize how wrong that statement is. CCP is using their money for the donation.

"lol"
No, they're using the money from whomever bought the GTC that is split into a pair of PLEX for this.
Kudos to CCP for being unconventional with this niche little service converting ISK back to Dollars (ah, the irony) but if I'm going to donate to Haiti then I'll use a more established method - and keep my in-game ISK where it belongs, growing my wallet fatter.

Even though I sent cash through a relief program away from CCP, I think this is a good thing. Though I wish it had been something like (for every plex you send, we'll match it) or something along those lines. Regardless, I've sent 1 plex. My bond might only be a billion, but this is something that goes beyond a game that we play at home in our warm houses.
If I could donate more, I would. (well in game that is lmao)

The second you purchase a GTC card it becomes ccp money.

When you liquidate a plex without adding time you are reducing the number of available plexes in-game and forcing another person to pay for that time with real money. That's oversimplified, but you'll get the point.

What point?
Plexes are paid with cash. Cash belongs to ccp.

Plexes are paid with cash. Cash belongs to ccp. Destroying plexes increases demand. More plexes are bought to maintain the accounts. More plexes are paid with more cash. Cash belongs to ccp. It is not that difficult.

To a certain extent this is true. However at the end of the day, they are donating money to a good cause. If it solves an in-game issue at the same time then so much the better.

Breaker77, I happen to think the very same thing. For a VERY long time now, CCP have had a very narrow story to tell about PLEXes, they for some reason want people to burn up their ISK on PLEXs, and use them to pay for the time. Each PLEX represents something "BAD" to them and in a massive amount of numbers they are scared. So they started the push to advertise PLEXs = Game time etc.
If people don't believe it, just look at what's happening here.
People are donating ====>>> NOTHING <<<==== No real world value what so ever! In fact the plexes I have on hand I paid ISK for, if I donated them CCP got NOTHING from me, but they did get money somewhere. CCP hey are going to donate it's real world value to Heiti... CCP could have said - "When you buy a PLEX from our store, there will be a check box that says "Donate"." but they didn't, they wanted to take directly impact something else. Last time I mentioned this people laughed and said it's stupid but now the evidence is undeniable. CCP view PLEXs as a liability, each PLEX represents x amount of dollars to them. The over abundant amount of PLEXs in games has CCP SCARED at the real world value they hold and probably account for as a liability.
This latest thing is just proof that they view PLEXs as some form of liability, either as potential lost income as the amount of PLEXs in game could fund so many people for months it represents a threat to lost income, or (And this is probably more accurate) unfinalized sales are unrealized gains. Meaning that CCP want those sales on their books, and they can't until the PLEX is used.
Props to them for donating their sales income, but that's all the props they get..

Some1 had to buy the plex with RL money!!!!!! Dont forget that. If theres a oversuply of plex ppl would stop buying them for real money and just grind lvl 4s instead. It would cause shortage on the market until the price raises and ppl start buying them again with RL cash. Basic market principles. Plex dont bring anything into the game!!! Ppl who buy plex have grined that isk in game and decided to spend it on game time.
I buy a plex for RL money -> Sell it to you ingame -> You donate it to CCPs char -> CCP donates the RL money value equivalent of plexs value to Haiiti help fund or whatever. I hope this helped clear things up a bit

I think you and a few others way over think things. CCP sells a plex for say 15.00 to customer (a). Meaning CCP got there money. Customer (a) then sells the plex to cusomter (b) for isk. Customer (b) sends plex back to ccp, CCP then destroys the plex that they were paid for and sends the money to relief funds. CCP get nothing out of this deal that I can really see other than maybe a tax break for donations, while people who are good at making isk ingame can use it for a good cause.

Every little helps. Truly awful event, it's bad taste to engage in CCP bashing on this thread.
