Was there a sentence in the dev blog i missed where plex's will only activate after you have taken them for a tour of low sec in a hauler?
Eve has one simple rule if you dont want to loose it dont undock with it and seeing as the purpose of these items can be accomplished without them ever having to leave a station, i dont really see the problem here.

I find it completely amazing that any one of you would actually want this scenario to befall you or others. The entire point of why this is a different case in point is the simple fact a PLEX does not share the same dynamic of every other item in eve.
Being able to transport themà No problem
Having them pop out of your cargoàNo problem
Selling an exclusive game item you have complete control over for real money and setting up the rules in a way where it is inevitable it will be destroyedàThatÆs a problem, thatÆs unethical.
Certain factio/pirate gear can be worth one single plex if traded so the value for both is mutual, they are also an exclusive item, therefore it is unethical for such gear to be destroyed!

unlike everything else, which can be manufactured if you grind for long enough
/fail on the fact that in order to grind, you need gametime, thus invest $.
That's not the point. The point is, PLEX cannot be generated by in-game means, therefore destruction of PLEX DIRECTLY costs the playerbase RL cash. As opposed to losing something you had to grind for INDIRECTLY costing you RL cash (you pay $15, you get 30 days, you can make more, or less isk in those 30 days, it's entirely variable, you can nullify your loss by grinding some more, unlike if you lose a PLEX you (or someone else) HAVE to pay RL cash).
The other point is I probably described you in the last sentence of my previous post. Ah well.

It' not inevitable. If you don't undock with it in your cargo, it will never be destroyed. Nobody is making you undock with it. It's your own greed and your own responsibility if you do undock with it, just like if you undock with an expensive ship (except that you stand to lose far more if you undock an officer-fit CNR or Rattlesnake - the PLEX pales in comparison). It's all in your head, too. Once you sell the PLEX you get ISK for it, which you can use to buy other stuff. So why should the PLEX be special? Surely those ISK I got for selling the PLEX are special, too, and should never be deducted from my account! I used IRL cash to get them!
No, neither the PLEX, nor the ISK you get for it, nor anything you buy with those ISK, is special in any way, shape or form. Cut out the whole entitlement attitude please, it's quite sickening. CCP made only one big mistake, and that is making PLEX special to begin with. They should have done it this new way from the start. Then we would never have to listen to this whining.

I don't think you see CCP selling any sort of capital ships directly to consumers.
CCP don't sell PLEX either. They sell GTCs, which you then exchange for PLEX.

Are you guys really this oblivious? If the whole reason CCP is making these changes, as they say, because they don't want PLEX to be treated as a special item, then what makes ANY of you think they'd honor a request to make it indestructible, and thus, a special item? Do you guys think?

PLEX can be undestructable: Don't fly with one in your hold.

Only a freaking moron would think a PLEX has any real life monetary value.
You choose to spend money on an item in an internet spaceship game well known for having you lose your shit easily then too bad stupid.
