I'm HOPING that this means that CCP listened. Of course, you are possibly right. They could decide to push ahead, even though they know that the CSM is opposed to it (and I would hope, by extension, the majority of the EVE population).
I read all of those "objections" to plex for remap and frankly, I don't get it. It looks like the objection is basically that rich gamers would get a leg up over poor gamers if it was implemented, but I don't see it being any more of a leg up than they have already. If you've got a credit card and you just lost your faction BS, screw it, buy another one. Everyone is fine with that, but not fine with plex for remap?
I see plex for remap (and plex for anything else, for that matter) as CCP trying to convert some of the trillions of isk that are sitting in vets wallets right now into cash that they can use. I think the hidden agenda concern isn't that Johnny Ferrari is going to get a leg up in the game, it's that it's going to devalue isk as a real-world currency so it'll get harder for Johhny Alliance Leader to pay for his 37 accounts and all of his buddies accounts with isk.

A character transfer is $20 and 2 plex is $34.95. What a ****ing deal.
Nah, 2 plex is 700m isk. If you gots isk, and you gots no cash, it is a deal. You sell your isk to someone who gots cash, and yeah, the, um... exchange rate looks like it's in for an adjustment. Which is the OPs point, I think.

to be honest, if all these changes push plex >1B.. wouldn't that make it easier for new people to try out the game? Buy account, buy 1 plex, stocked w/ ISK for a while....
Yes, it would be a boon for anyone who buys game time and isk with cash. It will put the squeeze on those who pay for game time, and potentially these new services, with isk.
