I am not sure if this thread exists or not, but would it be a viable option to have remaps available for the price of a plex or XXXX dollars?

CCP will probably do it, they love adding more things you can do with PLEX. I am not a huge fan, but I can't say it isn't a logical idea.

Its something many of us would rather they didn't as its effectively buying SP. That said it probably will happen at some point and life will carry on.

No thank you. Eve already has enough "pay to win" from being able to buy plex and sell them for ISK. We don't need this.

Not the worst idea ever, but I hate what it will do to PLEX prices.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Better make new interesting epic arks, where the final prize could be a remap.

If they limit it to once a month and it uses PLEX only I think it would actually be good for the game.

Posting in a thread where people are crying about "pay to win" even though they clearly have no idea what "pay to win" actually means.

That being said, -0.5 for this idea. You already get one remap per year and CCP likes to hand out bonus remaps at christmas from time to time. PLEX is already quite expensive enough and I for one don't feel like a person should be able to buy their way out of a bad decision.

I figure that ISK is the life blood of eve, and that people are allowed to make mistakes, but they need to pay for them.

Having an option to pay for a remap may make the game a bit more interesting :)

I wonder who would be able to afford to dump tons of ISK on piles of Plex for remaps more easily, old players or new ones?

Also removing choices and their consequences is bad ok?

No.

Remaps are there so that you cant use them to train for a ship quicker. That would enable you to remap for every modules and long train you have for the modules, a year is to much to be able to do that, and thats the point of not giving more then one a year.

Now consider this, it would turn it in a pay for entertainment, want to play? pay us and will train you faster! its like world of tanks where you get it easy useless you don't pay them. So no, its a bad idea, i hate the idea of any more micro transaction.

If you put the time into the game to get the ISK to be able to get the remap through the purchase of a plex, which in reality is not too difficult, I believe it will encourage people to stick with the game and work harder towards their goals.

You know very well that most people won't do that. They'll pay real money to get that PLEX instead, because immediate gratification is just how people are.
