No doubt we need another PLEX sink. The supplies are up while consumption is down. I do buy PLEXes from CCP for ISK but the current exchange rate is very disturbing. Would you be willing to play 1 PLEX for an attribute respec?
Any other ideas?

There was a huge glut of PLEX on the market following the PLEX-for-Tickets promotion and accompanying pump-and-dump manipulation. At this point in time, I'd suggest either holding off selling PLEX for ISK, or invest some ISK into raising the price of PLEX.
You could invest ISK to procure a number of PLEX today, then simply relist them on the market at a marginally inflated price. You'd only have to cover broker fees and taxes, just keep the prices rolling upwards. But I'm not sure that they'd sell particularly quickly due to the number of PLEX listed at low prices within 1% of each other.

I don't know whether we need another PLEX sink, I remember "the old days" and quite like low PLEX prices and I would be more than happy to see them go even lower.
That being said, I was recently contemplating the idea that a PLEX could be used to bribe CONCORD officers to raise your security status if it had become quite woeful.
"Indulgences", anyone?

Plex sinks eh? Hmmm...
Oh! Let's do this!

That way, nobody would have a reason to whine about being so many SP behind, and if they are still a pinnacle of Suck, it would be purely their own fault.

90 days used to be cheaper in real life money... Hence the GTC's have gone up after CCP upped the price of the time in eve.
Also, if plexes are cheap it means demand is lower than the supply. Up the demand by advertising to your friends just how cool it is to play for free!
Or, actually please don't. I enjoy my cheap PLEXes...
My opinions belong to me, you can't have them!

What you really say is "Let us buy attribute respecs with money"
I am against anything that lets you buy a headstart with real money. Thats not the intention of a game.
So yes to ISK sinks and NO to money/plex sinks.

Another use for the PLEX could be allowing you to change the sex of your character. A straight portrait swap is $10 USD, a sex swap and portrait change could cost 1/2 a 60 day GTC.
They could call it "PLEX for SEX".

I like the idea of being able to buy sinks with PLEXes. Would this just be kitchen sinks or would bathroom ones be included too? Of course the best idea would be to be able to outfit your whole house using PLEXes. I am sure that would take a lot of them off the market. And when your loved one complains about the time you are spending on the computer you have a perfect excuse.
I would also be in favour of allowing shoes to be be bought using PLEXes too. A nice pair of Jimmy Choo's with a discreet Eve logo would be good and would allow our pirating friends to show off in the real world the spoils of their trade.

Already exists via the ability to sell PLEX(s) and buy, say, a titan pilot character and a titan. EVE already chose the road to legal and integrated RMT, and skill points are already on the market. Selling respecs would be a good way to open up a new revenue stream for CCP.

Said it once say it again. Supply and demand. Too much supply not enough demand. Want the price to go up? Stop buying GTC from ccp. With less supply plex prices will go up. If you don't feel you are getting your real monies worth in game money, then stop buying your way to awesomeness and play it. Or better yet go play another MMO that gives you better rate of return on your real money/game money.
As a plex buyer since day one, I feel prices should be LOWER not HIGHER. As another poster said... Plex prices are 250-300m for 30d, I was paying that for 90d.

Why?

So don't supply so many then…

Sure. That's why it's such a bad idea. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

I don't know whether you are just an idiot, or that you simply can't communicate properly (downes?) BUT you do not buy Plex's "from ccpee for isk" You buy a plex from another player for isk.
You buy a timecard with Real money, This Time Card can be applied to anyones account, you simply sell the timecard either whole (Timecard bazaar) or in halves (plex) for CCP.
CCP do not sell isk, no isk is magically produced via plex, it is a trade of commodities.
Simple concept, unfortunately even SIMPLER playerbase at times.
P.s the downes comment was (in game)
Love you xx

Personally, I'd like to be able to use a PLEX to purchase a month of training on my (same account) alt. I'm willing to pay double for my account for sporadic training.

Edited by: Sig Sour on 23/02/2010 18:47:41 PLEX for remap... meh.
PLEX for security status reset, HELL YEAH!
PLEX for alt on same account training, HELL YEAH!
I have enough accounts that I just can't bring myself to open another account and move a character ($20) and train for 2.5 months ($35) and then move them back ($20). I may never get around to training up the T3 invention/mfg skills for this reason.

I'd rather see us being able to change our sometimes ,like the OP, **** names to something better than to be able to improve attributes that have a direct consequence ingame.
But since attribute respecs is already in the name one can't be far behind...

Pay for character transfer and portrait change with PLEX.
About 2 years ago we used to pay 150 million for 30 day code and 90 day codes went for 350-400 mil ISK so current prices is nothing to complain about yet

Yes they are, but not in the way you think. Not too long ago it was 160m for 30d of gametime, So dont cry too hard, you've got it really good as it is. Prices are simply coming back down to where they should be.
