There are 10,00's of PLEX's out there now and CCP has been allowing people to buy real world items with them like collectors Editions Tickets and so on but how many of you Rich I mean Rich players would be willing to hand over a few plex for some new hardware like Graphics cards headphones or even for say 1000 plex a mid range gaming PC it sounds like some kind of scam but think about it we all benefit from the reduction of PLEX's on the market less plex the more they cost so for the seller they make a few more isk and for the less well off in real life that are ISK rich they can in turn get something back.
I don't think it would be that hard for a company like CCP to do something like this as they will reduce the amount of PLEX's on the market and in turn sell more increasing there take.
I just listed the big ass items as a what if but it would be great to be able pick up real life cap's T-shirt mug and so on for a PLEX maybe exchange them in to some kind of PLEX point's say 1000 per PLEX and each item cost X amount of PLEX point's.
this may have already been suggested but I couldn't find anything similar.
list a few items you would like to see and please no silly real life ships as 200 billion PLEX's is a bit much for any one lol. |

Diapers for PLEX for example. Diapers are expensive and most people use them, although not completely necessary. A huge financial hole.
Children's clothes for PLEX. Lots of poor families out there and children constantly need new clothes.
Canned food for PLEX. Food that just stays okay, for those who barely can afford living.
Cat-, Dogfoid for PLEX. That never gets broken anyway.
Basically everything poor people, who struggle, could need.
There are people out there who need financial help ... ... and this would be huge for them.
Because, seriously, no one can eat a gfx card and it screams decadence. People out there struggle with living and people want crap they throw away eventually, for PLEX.
That's disgusting...

So would actually giving them the money, or killing them
I suggest proactively doing one or the other.

People who want to help other in need should just do so without asking for a 3rd party to get involved in their donation. They should just take their own money and go donate it, not ask CCP to create another accounting systems so player can transfer PLEX back into currency for donation.
Your idea isn't bad per se but it's a nightmare to deal with and you should see it.

Then dont you think he'd like the money more than the money -X% transfer fee and exchange rates?

My point is that -ú15 is worth more than -ú15 minus -ú1.50.
Thats not an argument. Its a fact. Stop getting upset because you know you arent always right for once.

More like it should just not be done in any case unless it's official CCP merchandise like their own collector boxes and other service they offer so they don't have to deal with any more external money transfer than they already do.
It's not that one idea is better or more valuable than the other, it's just that it's a logistical nightmare to deal with and they should put their effort elsewhere instead in my opinion.
When I want to help people in need, I don't ask a service provider to give me a way to donate thru them, I just go out there and find a place where they take donation for the cause I want to support and donate there. |

ISD LackOfFaith wrote:Okay, wow. That was a lot of cleaned up stuff. Quote:Forum rules2. Be respectful toward others at all times.The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others. 3. Ranting is prohibited.A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents. 4. Personal attacks are prohibited.Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not conductive to the community spirit that CCP promotes. As such, this kind of behavior will not be tolerated. 5. Trolling is prohibited.Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote. 7. Discussion of real life religion and politics is prohibited.Discussion of real life religion and politics is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums. Discussions of this nature often creates animosity between forum users due to real life political or military conflicts. CCP promotes the growth of a gaming community where equality is at the forefront. Nationalist, religious or political afiliations are not part of EVE Online, and should not be part of discussion on the EVE Online forums. 13. Spamming is prohibited.Spam is defined as the repetitive posting of the same topic or nonsensical post that has no substance and is often designed to annoy other forum users. This can include the words GÇ£firstGÇ¥, GÇ£go back to [insert other game name]GÇ¥ and other such posts that contribute no value to forum discussion. Spamming also includes the posting of ASCII art within a forum post, or the practice of GÇ£thread necromancyGÇ¥ which involved bumping of old threads for no justifiable reason. 23. Post constructively.Negative feedback can be very useful to further improve EVE Online provided that it is presented in a civil and factual manner. All users are encouraged to honestly express their feelings regarding EVE Online and how it can be improved. Posts that are non-constructive, insulting or in breach of the rules will be deleted regardless of how valid the ideas behind them may be. Users are also reminded that posting with a lack of content also constitutes non-constructive posting. 27. Off-topic posting is prohibited.Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued to the off-topic poster. 34. Posting of inappopriate content is prohibited.The posting of pornography, discriminatory remarks which are sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive as well as excessive obscene or vulgar language, posts which discuss or illustrate illegal activity, or an instance of providing links to sites that contain any of the aforementioned is strictly prohibited on the EVE Online forums.

No one in there right mind is going to buy 1000 or 100 PLEX just to buy something from a shop when they can pay less for cash. The point in a shop where you can use PLEX to buy items is because you can earn the isk in game and buy the PLEX you need not go and buy the PLEX for cash that would just be silly.
I think it won't happen other than for short term promo mostly because of the burden it would put on them for dealing with the work it would generate with inventory, shipping and other related stuff which can be somewhat limited if you only do it for limited time/qty promotion. When they do limited offers like the collector box for example, they can easyly say there will be 2k of them and after that, it's over. If they open a real shop, stuff would somewhat have to be available all the time and you could not just make a blitz of shipping not affecting the operation as much over time. |

Firstly sorry was a bit long.
second I agree with you a lot of people play eve that are low on real life cash that's why being able to buy a plex to play is such a great help.
I understand by removing plex from the game would raise the price of them but not to a point where people wouldn't be able to earn the isk for them there not going to quadruple in price if that's your worry most likely there hang around the 1 billion mark when things settle down.
the down side to the early PLEX shop would most likely be with the big corps buying them up cheap before it opens but that sort of thing happens all the time not 2 months ago plex went over a billion now there down to 800mil again.

I see a few ways around this but all will mean some extra work yes.
1) have a contract with a 3rd party or parties where you would place your order for the item and when you order it is sent to them to ship.
this save on inventory space.
downside is invoicing for the items and CCP paying the 3rdparty but I'm sure the size of CCP now they can work that out a lot easier than we can as they know there business better than we do.
2) they could limit the larger items as already suggested above in promos this would reduce the need for large amounts of stock I don't expect nor do I think CCP would go out and stock up on 10000 units of any given item let alone the big ones. |

Children's clothes for PLEX. Lots of poor families out there and children constantly need new clothes.

Cat-, Dogfoid for PLEX. That never gets broken anyway.
Basically everything poor people, who struggle, could need.

I like the idea. But this risks crashing and destroying the PLEX market if implemented and on the back end for CCP it would probably require a lot of work to fulfill the orders etc.
PLEX should fulfill its primary purpose first and foremost. To trade ISK for Game time and vice versa. Allowing people with more time and less income to play and those with less time and more money to have ingame assets. |

If you want to kill eve this is a great idea as it will pretty much remove anyone who doesn't pay with irl and doesn't have a stash from the game because plex prices will shoot up so much.

as for charity I think having it as an option is a really good idea and im not a fan of charity tbh
an effective mark up will counter any issues with plex freefall
Risk- it may go to far and plex will dry up completely cutting of the players who work hard for their plex
Risk- their may be a legal crapfest as to how to go about this multiply by the numbers of countries with a eve population |

anyone who use's plex full time has the isk for a price rise, there not going to go up to 10's of billions the wont even reach 2 bil or are the rich in isk too lazy now to earn a bit of isk. |

to stop the stop plex running out they can limit the large items, also with a price increase more plex will be brought and sold for isk in return helping to stabilize the price.
the plex prices have gone from below 400 million isk when they first came out to over 1 billion isk and they will continue to rise and fall but what people for get is the PLEX has become the EVE gold standard every time there's a large increase in the price of plex there's a large increase in other items prices.
most of the people that don't pay for game time with real money these days are not the ones who can't afford it they are the ones that just have too much isk and i mean 100's of trillions on accounts.
there are a lot more people that work there ass off in real life that don't have the isk for a plex as there time is spent earning money to pay real life bill's than there are people that can pay with Real Life Cash that don't as they have isk coming out of there wazoo. |

The only people that really know how many plex there are out there is CCP and as for them drying up I think there is little chance of that as if they start to be come rarer CCP will begin to sell more due to the value going up.
As I have suggested the best way would be to partner with a 3rd party when it comes to selling them which should cover any legal problems as they would already be covered by them when it comes to selling to different countries.
the prices may very but there little to nothing you can do as prices difference's in each country making matching them impossible.
I was being a bit extreme when I said 1000 plex fora mid range PC but 200-300 seem a lot but not really as they could be classed as free to the buyer depending how they come by the plex.
even at them prices that give CCP a very nice profit and helps promote the sales of more plex.
once again the PC and such are the top end Items they could simply do T-shirts sweat shirts caps key rings box sets and so on there are more than enough people out there that have been asking for these items for years. |

ISK and account have been sold on ebay. They've also been knee-jerk banned because you know, not allowed.
Easiest way to not enable this is to now start a scheme allowing it to happen in the first place. |

I am sorry, but this is truly a call to be able to RMT in a CCP supported manner.
Buy Goods with plex, RMT on Ebay with Purchased goods at 80cents on the dollar. Spend cash, Rinse and repeat until EvE economy is dysfunctional.
Whilst I do not accuse the OP of deliberately trying to slip one over, others would be rejoicing.
The Graphics card idea was marginally insane, and probably only possible as the product would have been a promotion by the manufacturer.
So not supported.

I maybe wrong but every single negative comment seems to be more of a fact they might have to pay a bit more Isk for a plex which is a good thing too many super rich out there taking the pee with the value of a plex I know of people that have got enough isk on more than 1 account to buy enough plex to sub the accounts they have for over 10 years |

PLEX price would skyrocket. It would totally destroy the market and maybe even EVE itself.
- Many players, not able to PLEX their accounts, will leave the game - There will be bots EVERYWHERE, now, that they have a legal way of RMT - Money Laundering could become a serious problem
Quote:we all benefit from the reduction of PLEX's on the market less plex the more they cost so for the seller they make a few more isk That's just your own opinion. What about all the players plexing their accounts? Do they benefit from increased PLEX price, too?
It is an interesting idea. But the only scenario, where i could see this work, is, if it's limited to occasional offers and there is only a small amount of items available. Like the example of PLEX for graphics card. They sold 100 units for 20 PLEX each. That's a total of 2.000 PLEX, not even a single day of total Jita trade volume. So the impact on the market is very small, if there is any at all.
But a permanent PLEX shop... Very bad idea.

with eBay though since not authorized they have control. Mention eBay in petition while you will be slammed for EULA violation yourself you get the satisfaction of taking the other guy down too. And his buyer if he flipped the item/char in question.
With plex to real items that are sold independent of game, there is not control from ccp. Its me selling a card in this case. Buyer doesn't have to know where it came from. best an e-bay buyer can do is write you and ask for serials of the item sold to see if hot. Only the truly anal bother to get this info, and on my cards I have seen good luck figuring out what actually is the right serial number and not a part number lol. I fight with my disposal people all the time turning in gear. Ever work with big cisco gear? They have several serial numbers fro x cards and such in them. One that wins is the one you can actually get a TAC case submitted for the whole thing.
Quantity is an issue, ccp can't go all socialist communist and go who has more than say 3 computers. While 20 would be overt potential issue....smart RMT'ers would go for say 4-5 and be less suspect. Make this a $200 card, 5 cards is still $1000 cash on the barrel head. I ain't greedy, $1000 would do me fine.
I in my tech overload days had 4 boxes. I could justify in these days a few more (space in room was limiting factor). 1 for IT work as it were, 1 for testing/IT extreme tinkering (never get freaky with a box needed up full-time, somehing I know ccp would not even argue....test bed systems are damn near a commandment in the IT realm) , 1 for daily use/gaming, and the wife's.
Now I have scaled down and love me virtual technology off a beefed up system and the wife uses an iPad and is happy with that. If asked by CCP though, yes mr auditor I am an IT admin who works on stuff at home who is learning to code as well and have several physicals running. Now give me my 5 $200 cards so I can make me $1000....err, upgrade 5 boxes.
CCP did it before we can say....maybe they learned from this. CCP is not perfect. One day somer was their buddy, then another day on the ban lists when the rtm was just way to obvious. We all make mistakes. Key to mistakes is to accept they will happen but also to ensure to not make the same ones twice. |
