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.
Good business sense from CCP.
The plex system is an exchange of real world currency for real world services. It is appalling that CCP is pretending that it's a game item just because they have given it an in-game representation.
EACH PLEX REPRESENTS CCP's OBLIGATION TO DELIVER 30 DAYS OF GAME TIME.
Failure to honor that obligation by any means or mechanic CCP controls can only be classified as THEFT or GAMBLING. CCP should go back and look at what happened to Linden Labs when the US government found out that in-game currency was being used in secondlife to gamble for things with real-world value. (for those who dont want to go look it up, gambling in game was banned in order for the game to stay available online in america)
Its like this,
By undocking you agree to non-consensual pvp.
By undocking with a plex you agree to non-consensual pvp, and agree that the plex is no longer considered game time to you but it is instead considered isk by you, or you would have used it either by
A. Before you undocked
B. Remotely
Since it is considered isk, and not game time to you, its free game. If you still consider it game time, then you should use it and shutup, there is no good reason to move a plex around that you want to use for game time, just apply it and be done with it.
Now you might say you redeemed a plex and wanted to sell it somewhere else, well guess what, you have to take that risk or use the completely risk free method of moving yourself to the location you want to sell it before you redeem it.
Nothing has changed here, except, people can now choose to buy PLEX's off the market and move them to sell them in different regions for a higher margin.
How does that effect you as the original plex owner? It doesn't, And for the traders its the same risk they take every day with any other high value goods.
Don't fly (or transport) what you cant afford to lose and HTFU or STFU and GTFO
