Explain how exactly one player paying another player for an item is a sink? The isk doesn't disappear. My god people throw around the term isk sink and isk faucet but they have no clue. You sir have no clue.
If you buy game time / second account learning or ships that get blown up ITS A SINK, it removes ISK from the game world.

Umm.... Plex is a sink.....
ISK is generated in game constantly
People use REAL MONEY to buy a PLEX
People trade Plex for ISK
people use ISK to buy services with REAL MONEY value, ie account sub / dual training
That ISK is removed from game.
The ISK is not just moved around, it disappears because PLEX was used as REAL MONEY out side of game to provide dual training or alt accounts. Not all PLEX end up sunk as ISK, buying ships and modules is not a sink, but buying game time and dual training are.
The arum thing is the CCP Incarna clusterfrack writ large, a sneeky way for micro transaction introduction buffered from the game environment.

The arum thing is the CCP Incarna clusterfrack writ large, a sneeky way for micro transaction introduction buffered from the game environment. Only the transaction tax is a sink (and a rather small one at that) because all PLEX on the market are listed by players. The ISK never get deleted because it goes to the other player's wallet. The PLEX is getting "destroyed" by purchasing game time/dual training but the ISK is still in the seller's wallet so it was never "sunk".
you`re right, the ISK still exists its just like buying a module for real cash on e-bay and selling it in game for ISK.
But whether its a sink or not is irrelevant, its role is to kill real money trading for ISK/items, it was not designed to act as any thing else when all is said and done.

I mind that there is a direct way to lose real life money by the actions of others in the game, be it gank, scam or market manipulation. All other items in game are filtered through in game isk, so there is a slight disconnect. But Plex is bought straight up and can be lost without in game isk ever being part of the equation. For that reason alone I would love to see it moved off market and into the NES only. There should never be a way for a player in the game to virtually put their hand in my wallet.
A PLEX is not real life money in any sense, when activated in game its real cash value actually disappears and it becomes just an item you bought like an afterburner and CCP at their whim can remove or delete it or turn it into a Fredo, or us players can say its only worth 0.01 ISK.
Also its the only item that u can use in a different region from where you are ( so shop around people) so there is NO reason ever to carry one in a ship, so if it can get lost its down to user stupidity not CCP design.

It wont change the Fact That I will remain And the Plex System will be no more.
You think Eve is going to be the same in 30 years from now or even exist ?
All i can say My Role In Eve Either in Real Life or Role Playing I am a Disrupt or and a Agent of Change so all i can say Live With It!
Honestly, when that bus hits you in 3 years time the gene pool will be improved... well that is as likely as your statement when all is said and done
My point is, you do not know the future, any thing can happen but until you can understand that PLEX was bought in to stop real money transactions that undermine the company that is CCP and its product eve, you fail.
All i get from this is your account(-¦s) are probably flagged as is you IP address(-¦s) and probally those you interact with as you are promoting real money transfer for virtual objects that are the property of CCP. In words you can understand you are basically saying that someone can come round to your house and just remove your goods and sell them to your neighbor and it will be all fine and dandy with you.
Honestly i bet you think Fox is news, Ayn Rand was a visionary and anyone not you is detritus, there is nothing to debate
