CCP Zulu has said:
Well, really, we don't like items having "special status" in the game.
Fine.
Please let NCP's drop PLEX's
Let players construct them.
Otherwise they have special status.

except they dont, they now use the same code as any other item for being transported or stored in a hanger.
Stop trying to weasel around the fact you want something you arent willing to pay for.
Stop trolling.

I'm not, I'm 100% serious
I've never owned a PLEX; use one; bought one. I'm not trying to get around anything.
But .. CCP says they aren't special. Fine, why can't players obtain them due to lucky NPC drops? Some pretty expensive things drop all the time?

If you don't like eve, you know you can stop paying ;) and GTFO.
I'll go ahead and answer that for the OP...
He's already cancelled all 5 of his accounts but since they were prepaid 1-year subscriptions he's just waiting for time to run out. It's the new FOTM excuse  .
No op is still here, and unconvinced PLEX's shouldn't be dropped by NPCs.
So they drop items worth 1 month play time? Let them drop plex's then? The issues isn't that CCP reserves the right for NPC's NOT to drop some things, for that completely misses the point.
A T2 BPO does not represent game time directly.
A PLEX does.
When a plex is destroyed, CCP has received money for a service they don't provide. If a PLEX drops from an NCP (say one assigned to be a courier) CCP still provides the service.

One of these reduces CCP's revenue. The other scenario doesn't. I'll let you figure out which does what.
Yes and having a player buy a PLEX only to lose it in a ship does what? It results in an increase in CCP's revenue without having to provide service; which is what all the controversy is really all about.
I'm trying to pose a fair and even solution. I do agree with CCP that plex's ought to be movable. I don't agree however that CCP should simply be able to increase their revenue without providing a service.
If NCP rats dropping plex's results in a drop of income, it only does so based on the revenue gained by PLEX's being destroyed.
There is no net loss here. At most it is a 0 sum gain.
