1. Indestructible vanity items will initially raise their perceived value, but eventually they will suffer serious deflation. In other words, buy one if you intend to use it now.
2. Temporarily non-transferable aurum means you can only acquire it in 3500 chunks. If the vanity items you want to acquire are much less, you might be tempted to buy them on the market for isk, thus jump starting the secondary market for vanity items.
3. Non-transferable aurum in the future could create serious problems with the whole Eve-Dust economic interface and would lead to people jumping over hurdles to convert one currency into another to buy the stuff they want. It cannot last long. Seriously, I doubt SCC is concerned very much about scams.
As for the effect on PLEX, I have always said the effect will be minimal so I guess I have to stick to that position. But when PLEX prices crash in the next couple of weeks I suppose some people will find some way to blame it on these changes, thus proving themselves right in their own minds. ;-)

I don't have time to find the thread now, but there was one on MD about the Dust economy and we looked at everything that had been said to date and pretty much concluded that both games would have the same isk and aurum, but that transferability of aurum (between players and between games) was not talked about. Isk is clearly transferable through corp wallets and probably other ways.

Slightly off-topic but does anyone think that the 1 PLEX = 3500 AURUM exchange rate indicates that CCP desire a PLEX price in the region of 350mil?
Probably more to do with the $35 for a GTC and 1750 Aurum per PLEX would be too odd. It just makes it easy to remember that 200 aurum cost $1.

Anyone notice I am still faceless? Mwahaha!
[Actually, it sucks to have DSL on days like these.]

I happen to be wearing very expensive boots that no one can see but me. That's just how we roll in MD.

My theory is that some jerkoff accidentally an extra 0 a the end of all the Aurum goods, much like a cube we all know and love has done in the past with market goods.
That might explain what happened to the Icelandic economy.

"So the PLEX-AURUM exchange rate is going to be thirty-five hundred?"
"That's right, three thousand five hundred AURUM per PLEX."
"Wait, didn't you just say thirty five hundred?"
"It's the same thing"
"OK, because for a minute there I thought you said three thousand five hundred."
"I did"
"OK, I got it."
"So we're clear?"
"Yup, no problem."
