Originally by: Polo Ex I just read the blog, good idea but the only problem is that you didnt mention if we can still activate it anywhere. If thats the case then no one will bother to move it unless they were stupid and created it in a system no where near a market hub.
ditto. i'd like to know if PLEX will be usable at the distance. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon." |

Originally by: Quetazal I am so against this move its unreal.
A destroyed plex is bad for the players - but to CCP it is a free 15$
I can see the business logic here (greed); playerA gets a plex destroyed, playerA replaces it and uses too; so they have (indirectly) paid CCP 30$ instead of the 15$ for one month Sub.
If Plexes could not get destroyed upon drop I would be all for this btw.
Greedy and a needless change from our overseers imo.
your point? PLEX is 300 mil. it's 2-3 fitted battleships. less than T3 cruiser. less than faction BS. fraction of capitals. people are losing these all the time. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon." |

Originally by: Kimsemus ... Right click the PLEX from your assets tab, while you are 17 jumps away from it. Hit Redeem. Congratulations on your additional 30 days of game time. Your argument is invalid.
Incorrect. I don't redeem my PLEX. I'm a subscriber and buy PLEX to sell for ISK (saves on the monotony of mining/missioning). I don't, however, sell the full 60 days, sell 30 days first and 30 days later (there is logic to this I can't be bothered to explain). Ergo, my argument remains.
then just check prices and redeem in wherever it's best to sell. whoever wants to buy cares only for price, as distance is irrelevant. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon." |

Originally by: Larkonis Trassler Destroying a PLEX through a gank is no different from destroying 300 mil's worth of goods in a similar fashion. Really it's not. You may have paid for the PLEX with RL monies but once it's in game it's just the same as any other item.
Also, nobody is forcing you to undock with PLEXs in your hold.
This is where people go wrong. No-one paid CCP for lossed titan. No-one paid CCP for lossed Jump Freighter. No-one paid CCP for lossed faction BS. Someone paid CCP for that lossed PLEX (15euros).
and that someone can already get value. add to game time OR redeem and sell at best possible location. guaranteed to succeed. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon." |

It's fun how CCP thinks their subscribers are all morons who don't see the real logic behind this change. This is just plain greedy from CCP and that's the bottom line reason why I don't like the change. I can totally understand the change from CCP's point of view, I would like the free money too without having to provide anything (game content) in return.
Greed it is. But could it be illegal this time :) /me grabs popcorn 
considering PLEX scam is perfectly legitimate within game, nothing changes. some people regulary lose more than PLEX worth a kill. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon." |

Originally by: 0oO0oOoOo0o Edited by: 0oO0oOoOo0o on 09/07/2010 18:10:17... CCP, can you make a change that really matters ? Can you give us the option to buy an attribute remap timer reset for 1 plex, so that we don't have to wait a whole year ? I bet this way you'd "remove" much more plexes from the game than in potential destructions while being in the cargo of a ganked ship.
actually, i'd support that. alternate use for PLEX would most certainly make a difference. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon." |

Originally by: Astria Tiphareth ...
Originally by: Max Hardcase People have been blown up with serious ****loads of valuable crap in their cargo hold before. Sometimes items worth considerably more than 300M isk, so really, who cares?
Those items never ever in any of their digital virtual lifetimes ever had any real money value attached. Like it or not, there is a perceptive difference. There is equally a difference between effective value (I spent X time in game, costing this much, thus items produced are worth Y) which is meaningless because currency trade doesn't work like that, and real traded value (this item is genuinely worth X in real currency).
note that PLEX neither has real money value attached. you can't legally sell PLEX for money, same way you can't legally sell non-PLEX items for money. same way, their ISK value is what players are willing to pay. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon." |
