If rats drop PLEX's, then they will have special status. Right now, they have as little special status as is possible for an item you redeem for gametime.
No.

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?
Why can't tech 2 BPCs drop from rats too? Why can't ships from from rats? Why can't PI goods drop from rats? Why can't datacores drop from rats? Why can't moon goo drop from rats?

While I don't think plex should be something that drops easily why not make it a possibility for some of the tougher NPCs. Some drop loot worth months of game time in isk value so whats the difference if you get plex.
My favorite part is that CCP can be bothered to change the mechanic and take your money in the hopes that they will not have to provide any service in return but they cannot be bothered to truthfully describe how plex works on their official support kb article.
Linkage
This link is provided on the account section if you were to click buy plex and then wanted an explanation of what it is and how to use it while on the same page you fill in you're CC info. The wiki article is also provided but is contradictory and the recent changes have been simply tacked on to the very bottom of the page.
CCP doesn't take your money. If you're a big enough ****** to undock with plex, and don't accept the risks, then you deserve it. I don't understand your problem with that support article.

PLEX are issued to capsuleers, all those NPC rats are just regular scrub pilots who are not eligible for capsuleer licenses so it's unrealistic for them to drop them.
Also derp to u OP.
Good point. I changed my mind they should not be able to NPC drop. How often does that happen in forums. LOL
Now I think they should ALWAYS drop when the ship carrying them pops so ccp will have to provide the service to someone at some point and also to promote the carnage that will follow as people kill people simply to directly steal gametime.
But then plex will be special items! But why? Once the GTC is converted to plex, you accept the risk that it could be destroyed and CCP won't have to give you gametime.

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.
Actually, I am in favor of this. I wanna say...... .01% chance of drop from officers/highest-end complex overseers?
Add 0s as necessary to make the drop rate 1 every day or two.
There- no special status for any items, and it costs CCP less than they probably spend on paper ;)
I mean, they'd need to have it go on for like 4 months for them to break even on how much they made from that idiot in jita ;)
HOW IS THIS NO SPECIAL STATUS?!

IMO, in an ideal world where CCP doesn't have to care about money, CCP has unlimited developer time and everybody is happy...
(Well, such a world is impossible, but this is just for the sake of argument)
CCP should have PLEX drop from NPCs in a quantity equal (or less than) the amount destroyed by player actions.
In that world, no one would have to pay for subscriptions anyway.
