Othran Route One 456	Posted - 2013.03.11 11:42:00 - [31] - Quote James Amril-Kesh wrote: Othran wrote: I really don't understand why people don't reverse redeem a PLEX from game to account management before going AFG. Because most people seem to have actually understood the proper use of Hours for PLEX. Makes no sense to me - you have the in-game resources to buy a PLEX then you may as well buy it ingame/reverse redeem it to account management before going AFG. Makes no odds whether you return or not as its imaginary icelandic internet spaceship money. Anyway there's a simple solution for the OP who now has "damaged" accounts.

I don't see how that makes any difference. I've used Hours for PLEX several times. I still have the option because I've always used it the way it's supposed to be used. Malcanis for CSM 8 Module activation timers are buggy - CCP please fix

Now I don't believe this is actual support: made 2 petitions in 3 years (both about buddy program) - damages caused or not prevented in both cases. Police works like that. Thanks for advices! Injecting PLEXes into redeeming system do the trick.
Frostys Virpio Lame Corp Name 345	Posted - 2013.03.14 14:14:00 - [34] - Quote Let's see if I understand correctly. 1- Activated hours for PLEX 2- Invite buddy with the hours for PLEX activated account 3- Buddy program gave you a free PLEX for activating 4- Used that PLEX to fulfill the hours for PLEX requirement? GÇóTo receive your reward of an additional 30 daysGÇÖ game time, you will need to have an active, paying EVE Online account after your friend purchases the EVE Online Buddy subscription. CCP may offer the reward to you in the form of 30 daysGÇÖ additional game time, delivery of one PLEX to your account (which may be redeemed for 30 daysGÇÖ game time), or any similar method. I think thats were it went down...

Bad Messenger Nasranite Watch 507	Posted - 2013.06.01 10:38:00 - [36] - Quote This whole feature is good example how CCP developers have not done their job well and players are victims of bad planning. Why it is even allowed to claim game time or plex from buddy system if account is activated with hours for plex, if is not allowed by rules. Functionality is so different from buddy program rules that no wonder people accidentally abuse system. Also CCP changed buddy programm without informing players. Before you got automatically plex to redeem system or one month game time added, now you have to visit account management to claim it, Why they even made it so and why they did not inform players. Bad planning, bad feature, and now players are abusing something accidentally. GOOD JOB CCP, keep going good work.
Ramona McCandless Standards and Practices Petition Blizzard 44	Posted - 2013.06.01 10:47:00 - [37] - Quote Why would anyone want the 30 Days Game Time from a Buddy offer and not the Plex? That makes no sense. "You designed these rules to trick me and it's not fair! I don't have anything left and might as well quit now..."-á-á-Authorized Pixel Distributor Tell The Others
TigerXtrm Black Thorne Corporation Black Thorne Alliance 77	Posted - 2013.06.01 11:15:00 - [38] - Quote But... why would you even use the Hours for Plex if you can just apply the 30 days of game time from account management. Two two are completely unrelated... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoavH8xbrPE

Because plex-for-plex is not possible anymore.

Seriously don't post if you have no idea what you are posting When you have not played for year you may easily forget if you have or don't have plex on your account. If you realise that you don't have pelx and you don't have enough isk, you will buy gametime with euros.. Easy as that Also if you happen to have 30 day gametime as reward in buddy program and if you run out of game time accidentally you CAN'T claim your buddy reward if your account is marked as "inactive". Only way to reactivate your account if you don't happen to have plex in redeem is to a) buy gametime with euros b) activate account with "plex for hours" and after that claim your buddy reward (gametime). However option B is seen as exploit which people don't understand at all Previously gametime from buddy reward was added automatically to your account which is not the case anymore thus many people run out of gametime unintentionally and when people look for the gametime they get brilliant idea that "hey, I can use hours for plex to activate my account and then I can claim my gametime" and CCP states this is abuse and no one is aware of this Basically whole system is broken and now ccp is denying "hours for plex" for people who have been playing for years saying "you have abused hours for plex, pay with euros thxbye" which is simply pure madness (and blackmailing)
