This doens't feel right.. Those plexes should have 100% drop chance. This also gives CCP a bad name, as if it isn't bad enough  |

…so can the ship wreck. And your image caption is incorrect. It should read "If you're planning a large PLEX transport, you're an idiot — there is zero need to transport them. Ever." |

That is definate hair splitting of the highest order if you write off the car then it is unlikely that you are going to get much more than a lovely fine for driving without insurance, sure you can salvage it and part stripping would give some money but its something of a null point. quote=Cheap Dude]This doens't feel right..

Then we would have people whining because its funding gankers |

Consider that as a life insurance. You would lost everything you spared because you lost the paper who formalize the contract between you and the insurance company ?
Plex is exactly that. A Plex is a virtual paper who contain a non-nominative contract between a player and CCP where the last one has to provide a service to the owner : 1 month of Game Time. So the transaction is not completed, as Plex can be activated at any time, and wasn't at this time.
For one thing thats exactly how insurance companies work. Anyway all that CCP is contracted to do is to give the initial purchaser said PLEX if the purcahser sells them then the contract does not transfer, if however they were the original owner then the GTC/ PLEX contract is simply that you have the ability to redeem gametime you also have the ability to leave them in a can in the middle of a belt in the Drone Regions or wherever |

That's about $1110 just given to CCP for free. Its actually quite underhanded and gross of CCP--and why I always disagreed with this "change."
Yeah, its about making plex cards like any other item! It has nothing to do with all of the extra money that destruction of these items will actually earn us. Nothing to see here. Move along. |

So basically this is what just happened:
1) person(s) A purchase service from CCP (playtime) for real money. 2) this playtime is destroyed in game 3) CCP has thus earned 1200 bucks, and does not need to give service/playtime in return. 4) CCP makes 100% return on these 1200 bucks.
That reeks of fraud to me. |

No what happened was 1) Person(s) purchases a service from CCP (a GTC) that is fufilled and person(s) gets the GTC. 2) They change it to PLEX (an ingame item) 3) ? 4) Kessy Pilot loses their ingame items in Jita to a gank. 5) People whine (OP could even be said person) Which is why you are not a lawyer. (unless you are the kind who is so stupid they try to defend smoking gun people who have confessed already) |

I won't love living in your country if your companies work that way for this kind of product. About the Plex, the contract IS transfered. If it wasn't, everyone who buy it from the market wouldn't be able to use it to get the game time. It is a non-nominative contract, CCP don't care about who have it, they have to add the game time when activated. I will begin to think them as a standard ingame item, the day that CCP will provide a way to get them from the game, not from someone who bought it with real money (I mean : NPC loot, Storyline/LP reward, etc...). |

There is absolutely none reasons to move your PLEX's around, even if you are selling them. They can be activated from anywhere in TQ.. |

So basically you're rehashing the same crappy arguement people tried to make when the change was first announced only now it makes even less sense than before, good job on that. Heres a newsflash for you, THE GUY CHOSE TO PUT THE ASSETS AT RISK THE SECOND HE UNDOCKED!! ITS EXACTLY THE ****ING SAME AS IF HE HAD HAD THAT AMOUNT OF ISK WORTH OF ANY OTHER ITEM IN EVE. Short of me coming around to your house and shouting this at you 24 hours a day for the next month I dont see how this could be made any clearer. What someone choses to do with any in game item they own has precisely jack and **** to do with CCP. |

No. What happened is this. - Person(s) A purchase service from CCP (GTC) for real money.
- Person(s) A choose not to turn GTC into gametime, but into PLEX.
- Person(s) A choose not to torn PLEXes into gametime, but to place them in a situation where they can be destroyed.
- PLEXes get destroyed
At no point has CCP defaulted on their promise. Would you still think it was fraud if step #3 has said "Perso(s) A right-click→trash the PLEXes" instead? Originally by: DMF KingBob ccp just made that the payed playtime is gone
No. Aystra did. |

One can view this a bit differently. The only valid reason for undocking with a plex is to try to make a profit from reselling it at a different location - as such, it's fair that people who do this should expose themselves to some risk. Anyone who buys a PLEX from CCP, either to sell or redeem, never has to take any risks with it. They can be contracted privately to any other player and then redeemed, without either party having to travel anywhere or even undock. |

+1 if plex could be brought with ingame isk / LPs then this wouldn't be a problem. i'm more inclined to go for LPs reward along the same line of say a navy invul field as there close ish in value the last time i checked (ages ago) |

Edited by: ImmaSplodeYou on 07/08/2010 22:28:39 Wow.. 22bn or $1300 - Whichever means more to you, they're both pretty big numbers
You can't blame CCP in the slightest for this, all they've done is got rid of the special treatment of certain items. Sadly, they haven't got rid of Morons who don't realise there is NO reason to move plex around, as if it's not in Jita it will be in contracts. I can only hope the bloke in the Kessy has quit, as he probably can't afford to play anymore, poor sod
He still deserves it, and for that:
