In a lot of the F2P game forums I haunt, you find self important little dweebs that feel their opinion is too grand just to post in an existing thread so they start their own.

It pains me to see that becoming more common here.

Mr Epeen

I thought about posting in the thread TITLED Do not make collectors edition plexable (or something similar to that)
but felt like posting in that thread would inadherently make it seem like I supported that notion by increasing that threads popularity.

SO in summary I made this thread, because posting in that thread was misleading with the title it has

confirming threads only contain one side of a story and nothing else.

I do just love, when people are so butthurt and upset about the topic of a thread, and the idea that it is putting forward, that they make some attempt to dismiss the threads validity, by saying that the OP should have posted elsewhere.

It makes me truly happy, to see people like Mr. Epeen stooping to such levels.

Old Fellow, pay him no mind. While you might post a rebuttal in the 'don't make it available for plex' thread, it doesn't make much sense for you to hide your support for allowing it to happen, within that thread, where your support will be seen as a postcount against it. This is the right place for it. I do hope they go through with allowing you to exchange plex for it. Afterall, they're still getting paid the same.

Are you kidding?!

This would literally be RMT. People could cash out PLEX, and resell the collectors edition for $100 on ebay.

It's imperative that real life dollars can only flow in to Eve, and not out, because it's when people can make real world profit from the game that nasty side effects start to happen (bots, hacking, etc in order to accumulate black market PLEX to cash out for real dollars).

PLEX for collectors edition would set a very dangerous precedent, and it would undermine years of work from the security team to stop all forms of "cashing out".

Spend ISK, get PLEX
Spend PLEX, get CE
Sell CE items, get ISK > original ISK
Repeat.

And there's a good reason NOT to have CE for PLEX

There is about 6 months till the CE ships how about for that 6 months you save $25 a month and when it ships you'll have the $150 for the CE. You don't have to buy it now because there isn't a limit to how many they're making like some games do. So even if you buy it 8 months down the road they'll still have them. I'm a college student I don't have the money for one atm but I'm going to try and save some here and there and maybe in 8 months I can buy one.

But why not CE for PLEX? There was EON for plex, only real explaination would be risk of PLEX spike. But didn't we have it before? Month and everything will be in order again.

Are you sure that is correct? Have they confirmed when they are going to stop taking pre orders? Would be nice to have a date as like you say can spread the payments across multiple months that way.

It doesnt make financial sense for CCP to do this. People would sell them on ebay for a low price and therefore CCP wouldn't get money for them. Basic economics tells you this is not going to happen enless CCP are feeling really generous.

. Basic economics

"Basic economics" can go frack itself when you don't know when PLEX come form.

I would like to purchase the collectors edition for plex please, ccp and here are my reasons why.


1. I would like to do RMT without the banhammer risk. See, I have a surplus of ISK, I actually use ISK for toilet paper. But with CCPs strict code of RMT, I'd like to sell off alot of this ISK. So, I'd like it if CCP allows IRL merchandise to be purchased with an ingame currency. Just to I can sell it in IRL, thus circumventing any "wrongdoing and bannable" offense against me nor my accts!


Thank you

Plain wrong, (nearly) every PLEX exists because someone paid CCP for it to exist. If the CE costs 12 PLEX, CCP get to despawn 12 PLEX (and thus despawn the obligation to accept it as payment for 12x 30 days of game time). Even if someone is bad enough to eBay the CE for 10$, CCP would have been still paid in full for every CE in existence.

But still don't think they would do is because of the RMT issues.
