Ok... Why not skip the whole PLEX stage and allow us to directly convert set amounts of our ISK into Aurums per month? Dont remove it, because some people Will want to take that shortcut, but this way the plex market wont get blown out of proportion because you wont have to Buy Plex in order to get a poster of the Avatar you blew up last month on your captains quarters wall. Or Spandex to hug your perfectly sculpted toned and tanned calf muscles. A lot of new players will want this customizability but PLEX are #@%#ing expencive for a newbie.
Make the conversion skill based, idk Training Currency Conversion Level 1, Rank 1 under Trade, not trainable on trial accounts, allows you to get a 1% yield of Isk to Aurums conversion, Total of 5% at level 5. So when you convert 10 million isk you get 500,000 Aurums at level 5. Enough to have your corp logo sewn on your breast pocket or ironed onto your bare skin because you dont have enough Aurums to buy a uniform perhaps.
Then add a skill that bumps up the total amount of isk you can convert per month. Bulk Currency Conversion level 1, Rank 2, under Currency Conversion. Level 1 allows 50 million isk per month to be converted into Aurums, up to a total of 250million isk per month at level 5 (25 million Aurums). Enough to add that Discoball and mood lighting, A picture of your favorite goat and Cowboy boots with chrome spurs, and a Pirate flag yo ho ho and a bottle o' rum.
ALSO: PLEX = [PILOT LICENSE EXTENSION], NOT PLEXAITAC, [PILOT LICENSE EXTENSION AND ISK TO AURUM CONVERTER] Make them purchasable out of game but as a seperate item with a seperate purpose. Remember how you once threw POS into the sovereignty mechanic even though that was not what they were designed for, and it became an eyesore upon the face of the galaxy for years to come?
Edit: You may also find that if the PLEX market becomes inflated, then you may be in danger of loosing those pilots who rely on purchasing PLEX with isk for their game time, due to real world inflation.
Edit: OR perhaps you want to get paid for your labor to create these 'unique' items. Allow us to buy standard items with our isk, such as corp logo iron-ons, and use the new currency purely for the unique items. Do Not Use PLEX for this. Just create the ability to directly purchase the Aurums with real money in varying quantities. For inspiration, look to the way World Of Tanks runs its Premium account mechanic. That is hugely successful. You pay cold hard cash for a second ingame currency called GOLD, and you can choose what amounts you want to buy. That gold is then used to purchase special ingame items that you cannot buy with the regular SILVER currency.
This.
