Someone on the CSM (etc.) leaked this infrmation. PLEX pices didn't just arbitrarily spike 200m ISK overnight "because". Even if the leak wasn't expressly stated it was certainly implied. No tinfoil or conspiracy, but you'd have to be an idiot not to recognize the extreme coincidence with the timing.
I mean, that's fine. This won't be the first or last time certain alliances have benefited from advance knowledge on the CSM (etc.) so why should the vast majority of players expect anything differrent this time? This will be the last time I vote in the CSM and I hope it's finally abolished. .....
Insofar as the proposed PLEX changes are concerned, I'm fine with all of them except one: CCP's initial decision to not reimburse anyone below 1000 Aurum. I think the reasons stated are quite frankly ridiculous, and this is nothing more than a blatant attempt to squeeze in more Aurum sales for CCP and drive-up Aurum demand for resellers prior to the switch. |

PLEX doesn't work for the New Eden store in its current form, Aurum is a third currency and you need a conversion for ship SKINs and (future) microtransactions. It's not really going to be that confusing. ISK will continue to be the in-game currency and the new PLEX will be the out-of-game currency that's safe, secure (new vault) and can be used to renew your subscription, resculpt your character, etc. You'll just need more of it - meaning the new PLEX will likely be sold in smaller increments going forward.
We can expect to finally see the New Eden store overhauled, revamped and expanded with many new features and service offerings. I for one welcome our new Microtransaction Overlords. |

There was a thread on Reddit discussing the fact that the company that runs Serenity is approaching the end of their contract. How this impacts the new PLEX or what this potentially means for Tranquility is anyone's guess. In any event I'm not privy to enough information to be even able to speculate at this point. |

Imho, it would be better to actually keep aurum (or call it differently), let players buy plexes using aurum as a common item, and add various type of plexes, allowing for more clone states
for example.. OMEGA plex will be as is.. BETA plex, costs less than a plex, let's you fly whatever you're trained for but cannot train new skills SPECIFIC CARRER PLEXES, let's you fly and train only specific type of ships depending on your career of choice.. etc..
in this sense, plexes becomes a family of items. if you convert plexes in currency, ofc you can do the same, but it won't be less confusing.. Please re-read your suggestion and tell me how this is supposed to be less confusing? We can get rid of old PLEX and Aurum and replace it with 3 or more different type of PLEX - all of which will have unique values depending on how they are perceived by the market.
In short, no. H*ll no. Burn this idea with fire no. There are ideas and then there are just horrible bad, ill-conceived ones... |

I can't wait for the Q&A sessions at FanFest in several weeks. This will be priceless. |
