While you are busy addressing "special status" to in-game items, how about making it so I can scoop abandoned POS's. Is it truly fair that I cannot un-anchor a POS that some other corp left without fuel and undefended?
It's a mobile structure after all! I'd be 600 million wealthier or at least have 2 additional towers, but noooooo. It was launched for THIS corp and you CAN'T just come along and steal it! That'd be like- piracy. Shucks CCP I kind of wonder what you were thinking.

but again please make it nondestructable and ill support this idea.. PLEX is and will always be "a special item" from all other items.. no matter what you do to it.. it will always and have been giving you game time which no other item in game does so already there its diffrent from everyother item in the game
im sure this cant be legal.. every popped PLEX is a free 15euro down CCP's pocket not sure if thats legal anyway.. i dont support this idea and i think that PLEX should NOT!! be able to be destroyed its fine it can be dropped so pirates or whatever can have fun with it.. if a pilot is dumb enough to undock with it..

lmao... PLEXAGEDDON
why bother to move a plex to a specific region when you can just install/redeem it there in the first place??
its the same amount of travel either way...
...of course... there are several born each minute...
however... i must disagree with those arguing that a plex is just another 'ingame item'. it actually has the equivalent monetary value of 30 days of gametime, which IS worth $15.00.
and i don't see ccp letting 'em drop from any kind of mission... maybe from the occasional sleeper site...
but that's just my 1/20 of a cent...

I'm gonna give this a try as well:
1 Plex = 30 days of game time = about 300 mil isk (can vary, but let's pretend it's 300 atm).
Everything you do in Eve takes time, you can mine/rat/trade for a ship, which all takes time, which you pay for through subscription or whatever payment method you prefer. Now if you don't want to spend time on getting a ship, you can pay RL money for some plex's, which is essentially just buying game time as you would normally do through subscription or whatever. Now however you can trade this game time to someone else, so he gets game-time to use for making isk, and you get his isk to buy the ship immediately.
Now if the ship you bought with the isk gets blown up, you'll have to get new isk, so you either have to get new game-time to use yourself for generating isk, or you can buy game-time again with RL money, which then get's converted into game-time again and can be further converted to isk.
Now we take it one step further again, and your ship is again blown up, and you get yourself again some game-time in the form of a plex and in the process of getting it sold you get the plex blown up. Now you'd have to get a new one again, so someone (you or the plex-buyer) can make up for the lost isk.
If a ship not bought by ways of plex, but with isk made from mining/trade/ratting, is lost, you can consider the time spend on getting/grinding that isk lost as well, as it would be when a PLEX is destroyed.
So in short: as soon as your RL money is converted to game time (in plex form in this case), it can be destroyed, whether it be by destroying the plex, or the items bought for the isk you got by selling it, that's just part of the game.

Every PLEX that doesn't drop i.e gets destroyed gives CCP a profit of $17.49 as they no longer owe somebody game time. The more PLEX's that get gank and destroyed then the happier (and more profitable) CCP will be.
If 1000 PLEX get destroyed a year then thats $17495 in gametime that CCP wont need to hand out, should cover a few CCP company nights out me thinks, shiney!
I just hope that the drop/destruction ratio is a fair one and not tilted in favour of destruction, afterall the less that drop the more CCP profits. |

Sounds like CCP is just trying to increase revenue. Too funny, seriously. Sell skill points, you'll make way more frosty green backs or whatever color they are in Iceland.

I agree - every PLEX destroyed = another $15 for CCP. I can't believe this will generate serious revenue streams though.

I think the PlEX will bring alot of trade too eve thats needed and the chance too either put PLEX into contract/exchange for minerals or move it to another station is a very good idea.

...F*ing way. ALL in game items need to be treated equally. What you are suggesting will go against the very nature of this change.
Plex - Pilot LICENSE extension! (as I recall) is NOT an item. As the names says it is a LICENSE! In terms of eve the "RIGHT" to extend my playtime for example.

To avoid the "free money for CCP" arguments, why not balance the number of destroyed PLEX with dropped lowsec/nullsec mission PLEX?

As long as we are making changes to the PLEX system, can we PLEASE have a way to move them to and use on inactive accounts so we don't have to bother GMs for 1 day activations and wait for responses through the petition system.

We already can that but it do require planning level 1.
Before the account expire, get a PLEX, do reverse redeem on it and it will be available to reactivate an expired account with at any time.

Make alt. Send alt to Jita. Buy PLEX. Use it. Entire account gets the time with no undocking required.
You would have to be a special kind of stupid to undock with a PLEX in your cargo...

Why did you guys placed the "boundaries" in the first place? Because PLEX come from real money. Why turning off those boundaries? Because it will turn into real money benefit for CCP.

I'm quietly sitting here just outside Jita 4-4 in a Reaper with a single PLEX in my cargo hold.
God this is exciting.

Well thats super!
Now u might also wanna change the PLEX info as it still reads :
"It cannot leave stations but may be traded on the market and through contracts, except courier."

Well Perfect if you don't like placing restrictions on items in game then allow isk to be withdrawn as CASH(item) and transported around.

I have 1 prob with these changes, I dont believe a plex should die in a wreck, its like ccp just stole 15.00 from everyone involved. Sure they say it has a chance to drop, but how do we know?
The only way for this not to cause trouble is to make plexes always drop from the wrecks 100%.

Why would a moron with a wardec on his alliance, transporting 74 PLEX' in a ship that is not up to that task, change that ?

Yeh i agree he was so so stupid to do it but whichever way you look at it that plex cost a lot of real money that cant now be recovered. Im sure someone can work it out easily but CCP just earned a lot of money from one stupid mistake.....
