It has happened at China server.

http://eve.tiancity.com/homepage/article/2012/08/09/37046.html

I think CCP know this and allow it happen.

Step by step accomplish "Pay to Win".

$3000 in China, that's like 10 years of work. They deserve it for spending that much.

I see, so you purchase plex from ccp, it appears in your station, and its a "nothing"? Ok Lol

And Lenovo would surely have a deal with these "Chinese CCP" guys, no such thing as a free lunch.

PLEX are an IG representation of your Sub and are freely convertible into subscription. They can in no way be redeemed to CCP for a Titan.

So, with regards to your OP, about a Titan, CCP isn't giving you a damn thing.

If I buy GTC's and sell them, I don't see where the isk goes, it's instant. All I know is that the price of these things are going up... so, as a person who doesn't care that the isk is coming from other players, I can go buy isk, legally.

The only difference, and it's what CCP has you believing is that because the market is player ran that we're not buying said titan from CCP. Where in fact, I gave CCP $30 for each GTC I purchased and in return, I got isk. Provided there is a character for sale in the Bazaar and a titan, I can in fact, pay to win in EVE. The only way EVE no longer becomes pay to win is if nobody ever bought PLEX's off the market and we no longer received ISK for our $30.

It's just disguised well, and you all fall for it.

You don't buy the Titan nor the Character from CCP. You don't sell the GTC/PLEX to CCP. Besides being the provider for the service you are trading (gametime), CCP is uninvolved.

Just because you don't meet the players face to face doesn't mean they aren't there. Just like the Stock market.

Buying a PLEX from CCP is buying a future's contract from CCP for 1 month Gametime with an undetermined maturity.
Selling a PLEX to another player is selling that future's contract for money in a different currency than you bought it with.
What amount of Currency2 you sell the loan for, and what you do with that currency has nothing to do with CCP.

If you call it Pay to Win, that's fine. It flies in the face of what normal people call Pay to Win (items purchased from the game company bypassing the normal mechanics to acquire said items), but that's your call.

Also, to properly be called RMT, the system would have to allow players to "Cash Out." Since you can never receive OOG Currency through the PLEX system, you can't "Cash Out," so it's not properly RMT.

Its silly to compare what happens on the chinese server with our server. Businesses operating in China have to have a Chinese partner and have to conduct business in line with their practices.

How the heck is a $3000 vangel a "win"? Bad troll bad... 0/10 for lack of effort.

I heard the same rumor. But I think the exploit that gave them free Cambions had a few more steps.

Like, I think they only got a BPC, so they had to manufacture it.
