Can someone please link me to the post/news feed having to deal with the new PLEX changes? I saw the update when starting up the client but I cannot find it anywhere on the main page or forums. --------- <center></center> --------- [SKYGM] Sky Guard Mercenaries |

Which is what they deserve for being dumb as a brick by moving them in-game instead of redeeming them at location and thus avoiding any and all chances of being a victim of space piracy.

The first time someone gets ganked with a plex in the cargohold I want to see the killmail, and the impending forum thread of RRRRAAAAGGE and QQ.

If you buy one to sell and lose it it's more a loss of real life money. I lose my ship, that's a loss of ISK, but if I paid 5 bucks for it irl there'd be more tears I think.
I'm wondering too why on earth they bother. Is it really that vital to have the ability to transport them considering the risks? Not just in losing the plex, but also the chance for it to be destroyed completely.

No, it will a complete debacle on the end of CCP.
"Hello, XYZ Bank. How may I help you?" "Hi. I noticed I have a suspicious charge on my account." "Which one would that be?" "The one marked CCP. Its over seas." "Did you iniate that transaction?" "No. I would like that charged stopped." "Yes, we will look into it."
Making PLEXs destroyable and transportable is beyond stupid on the part of CCP. If I pay close to $40 USD after tax to the company, I expect to get the value of those PLEX and not loose it to some gank, **** off to any stupid concept of "Its a harsh universe." just because I grabbed it by mistake while loading junk with a ****ty UI interface provided by CCP. If by this statement; "If you blow up a ship that happens to be carrying PLEX, it may drop the PLEX as loot or it may be destroyed in the conflagration" there are currently to many PLEX and CCP wants to remove them, Then stop selling them for a time and change the PLEX offer to a three month subscription link for $10 USD more which has more value then pixelated decimal points. Watching real life cash get vaporized in a game is simply stupid, there will be subscriptions canceled by players and CCP will be eating sour words of "Yeah, we f***** up. Big Time."

Nobody is forcing you to undock with PLEXs in your hold.

I too think this is going a little too far. Yes, Eve is supposed to be dark and evil but it is a game after all. Tbh, I think the horrors started with the introduction of PLEXs. They should get rid of them any return to good old 2 months GTCs.

Just a heads up to those of you unable to comprehend this part....You are not *required* to transport a plex anywhere. If you don't want to risk it then go to the station you want to sell it at, and redeem it there. Vice versa, if you want to buy a plex for an alt....move the alt to the station, just like you always have. Nothing changes unless you want it to, the prices perhaps, but not your level of risk unless you CHOOSE to increase it.

Originally by: Aqriue You fail.
That is beyond fail actually. If you have a bilion ISK in game, then it costed you time you could've spent making money IRL, any 300 milion ISK lost in game is just as valuable as losing a PLEX. Beside this you can't simply buy a PLEX, it's just a way of gaining ingame currency legaly out of a GTC. So if you lose a PLEX it's exactly the same as if you've lost 2 Ishtars. It's just annother form of ingame currency.

Is there any good reason to do so though? To actually move it as opposed to just redeem it in the station you want to sell in?
I'm not sure why they would change it. It's not like any other item, CCP: no other item lets you pay your monthly sub fees with it.

Until CCP reports you for fraud, your account is perma banned and the local police force investigates and finds one stupid player who didn't read the terms and conditions.

i dont get it. People lose ships worth 300m very often.
Why do people not QQ over those losses as much? I mean, sure, 'first' t3 loss or similar, but honestly, when you all the sudden assume a real life money value on an item, it becomes worth crying over?
my pilgrim, worth about 6 usd died last night. I then spent another 5 or 6usd on a replacement. I regularly undock in my abaddon, currently worth about 10 usd in faction fittings to run missions. I often station camp in my archon, and current prices place that at around 40 dollars. 50 DOLLARS. SRSLY.
Remind me again why people rage over plex?
(note, all numbers pulled more or less out of my ass, assuming about 100m isk = 5 dollars. )

Ships cannot be used for actual play time. PLEXes can. And that's the difference.

This is wrong IMHO, This allows another player to directly STEAL my CASH PAID FOR item if i should chose to purchase a plex with cash. I'm sorry but CCP has absolutely no right to allow another gamer to directly affect/steal my RL money that I spent on a PLEX. I would even propose that IF a plex is dropped, To take it or destroy it might possibly a violation of the EULA. Specifically the subject of THEFT, even though it happens in game, As it affects an item purchased with Real Life cash, it may be subject to the terms in
http://www.eveonline.com/pnp/terms.asp
Specifically rule #7
Quote: You may not violate any local, state, national or international laws or regulations.
Destruction/theft of property in most states and most of the civilized world is considered a violation of law. In most states, I do believe there is a legal distinction between virtual and physical item possession, however the same laws apply concerning the destruction/theft of items virtual or physical.
Since cash was paid for said item, any sort of claims that "it is just a game" do not apply
Since a PLEX is purchased in a lot of cases with CASH, the allowance of CCP games to allow the theft and/or destruction of property paid for with CASH opens them to litigation in most western countries that follow similar legal structures.
In Short, CCP allows a game mechanic that can financially damage me in the case of destroyed/stolen items that were purchased with cash.
This rule definitely conflicts with the rest of the game because the destruction of other property in the game is NOT PURCHASED with RL money. I pay $15 a month but I don't lose my game time if someone blows up my ship and it drops a bunch of modules. With the new change in rules I would lose that $15 with the destruction/theft of the plex.
This is UNACCEPTABLE
I can see this change of rules being allowed with PLEX being purchased with ingame isk but not PLEX being purchased with CASH

...except that you buy the code FOR the PLEX with cash, not the PLEX itself.
It still is a pretty stupid idea of CCP (never thought I'd say that)

Edited by: Siigari Kitawa on 09/07/2010 17:50:48 You guys are a bunch of short-sighted whiners.
Check it out. You have a PLEX you want to sell. You want to sell it in X station. Instead of putting it in your cargo, LEAVE IT IN YOUR REDEEM ITEMS BOX (or convert it there or whatever) and then once you arrive to the destination get it out. Easy peasy.

The same reason to move anything. Sell Order value in Station X is < Buy Order value in Station Y. Buy Low, Sell High.
Other than that, can't imagine any reasonable reason.
