I'm just curious if this a good idea or not, so I figure I'll post this topic in general discussion to see what people think about it. My idea is to use plex to buy merchandise from the EVE store like the ISK guide, tactical star charts, and many other stuff (maybe a ship model  ).
How to make this work, is just convert your plex into store credit on whatever the RL money value its worth which CCP is selling a plex for on their website. Plus not lose the store credits as well after I made a purchase, so my left over credit can go to another purchase in the future. I'm only thinking about this since CCP allows you to pay for fanfest events with plex instead of using RL money. So I'm asking the EVE community on their input on this before I make it proposal. Just to see if its worthwhile or not.

Vertisce Soritenshi wrote:Yup. It is a very good idea. One I have proposed as well in the past but people don't seem too interested. To CCP, PLEX is just as good as cold hard cash. One way or another if PLEX is bought, sold or traded in any way at all, CCP still gets the money from it. Why they have not already given the option to purchase hard goods through the CCP Store is beyond me.
Come to think of it...there may be some legal issues involved. Possible tax evasion issues and whatnot. Once you buy the PLEX you are then using face game money for real life goods. At least it could be viewed that way by some courts...
Yeah, I didn't think about the tax issues. But I would assume it wouldn't be a problem if price of the item your purchasing has the tax already included. Thanks for your comment and input.

Yeah, there is a lot of ramifications if CCP did allow something like this to happen. I truly would like to see how it would affect the PLEX prices. Could only imagine it would go up, but by how much? It would be a show to see I suppose . On people taking advantage over something like this with RMT, last thing I want is farmers making a profit off something like this that's only meant to help players get items for the game they like so much. Regrettably that's something that can't be really stopped .
Thanks everyone for your comments, it was very insightful for me to see the responses from other players about this idea.
