Stupid stupid idea. Players who join after this rule change will not know the history and will blithely take off with plex in hold to get the best price. Cheating CCP in the aftermath of a plex loss will be relatively easy Credit card companies will reverse charges in many cases since the amount is small if customer is convincing. Fraud investigation? Not likely given the amount. What's the point of this change? Not enough tears in the game now? Not driving away the new players fast enough?
I'm not stupid enough to undock with plex in hold and don't need this change anyway.
Argue with this any way you want, trot out the dark universe excuse again. Doesn't matter. Sure, nobody has to undock with a plex but that's not the point. CCP has just announced open season on player cash. When you announce to people that you plan to take their money and give them nothing for it, you are being about as stupid as a company can be.
Fine distinctions between time code and plex won't help in this case. Perception is everything. People will not accept this no matter how much sense it makes from the perspective of the game.

You guys who are defending this idea are out of your mind. You want to beat people to a pulp because theyI think this is dumb? I'm failing Eve by not lining up to say how great CCP is? CCP asked for feedback. Giving it to them is not whining.
Destroying an item that has been bought for cash so that the purchased service is never rendered is fraud. CCP could easily be sued over at least part of this change. You think that's unlikely? Companies get sued for stupid reasons every day.

Also, kudos to CCP for their brilliant timing, introducing this change in the middle of Hulkageddon when gankers are out in force all over high sec.

[They give them the item and they give them the option to use the item 100% securely. They cannot be successfully sued over this.
And then they create a gameplay system that detroys this item so that it can't be used, or that transfers the value of the item to someone who did not buy it. This is not just fraud but conspiracy to defraud.
Doesn't matter whether the company can be successfully sued - you don't have to prove the case before it goes to trial. Do you think CCP will want to defend a lawsuit over this issue?

Just canceled the last of my 3 accounts. I feel pounds lighter knowing that I am getting this game out of my life. I might have stayed longer if I hadn't started reading the forums. Maybe the bullying in the game is not "real" but the bullying on the forums certainly is. Good luck to all the carebears.
