My brother once told me you could buy Plex in game with ISK and then sell it for real money. Is this possible and is it legal? If both yes, can some one give me a brief description on how to do this, or a link.

Thanks.

It's not illegal. It's just a breach of the EULA.

No one ever went to gaol for selling PLEX.

There are sites selling you GTC for real money,
but they buy GTC directly from CCP, in higher quantities.

Anyway ... YOU are NOT allowed to do it, say the EULA !

I'm sorry, but I am compelled to ask...

What exactly are you doing down there?


And don't look me in the eye...

Selling PLEX for real money constitutes RMT, whether you are the buyer or the seller.


Don't do it. In fact do not buy any in-game items with real money.

There is no CCP-approved way of converting ISK into real life money.

You could theoretically find a bunch of EVE addicts, put them in a room and force them to answer phones for ISK. You get money from the call center you are renting them out to.
