Hey "CCP" can you take the time to hear me out,what I would like to present is an idea of plex able to get bought through "Dust 514" and given to an "EVE" player,it may sound a bit weird but hear me out.

[Reason 1]It would work almost as a gift card,lets say after the purchase is made you type the name of the person you want to give it to,also lets say its someones birthday or an occasion and you want to give them a nice little gift,this would be great for that also its convenient.

[Reason 2]Some people don,t have credit cards or something of the sort,so instead of a credit card or something they can buy it from "Dust 514"

[Reason 3]Many "EVE" players come from "Dust 514" like me and are used to using "aur" to purchase these type of items,also like me some people might not want to pay with a credit card.

[Reason 4]It would give "Dust 514" a connection with "EVE" because you can gift it to players and support your corporation with these by giving the player more time to play!

[Reason 5]Now I am not asking for something major because from what I have seen with "CCP" this should not be hard to do.

[Reason 6]Lets say a kid wants to buy "Plex" So his parents let him use their credit card and he ends up buying a 50$ item,yes "CCP" can fix it but honestly its going to be a bit of trouble right,by using "Dust 514" to buy "Plex" it grants more security and safety.

[Reason 7]Think of "Dust 514" as a phone and think of "EVE" as a restaurant Its more convenient to call than to have to go up order and wait right?

[Reason 8]Buy putting "Plex" in "Dust 514" it almost works as an ad,because I came into "Dust 514" having no idea "EVE" existed but by adding "Plex" it lets more people know what "EVE" is.

[Reason 9]Now lets say a teen wants to play but his father/mother/guardian says they have to pay for it them self,many teens do not have credit cards but some have counsels so it makes it easy for them to buy!

[Reason 10]I gave up on "EVE" because I do not have a credit card and my dad wont pay for it so I am stuck with no option but to quit until I can get a credit card at age 16 so for now I cant do much.

Thanks for reading this if you did!Thanks for all the people that will support this and good luck with future Forums!

If you mean, to use Dust currency earned in-game to purchase Plex to be used as gametime in Eve. Then no. You just bankrupted CCP.
CCP don't tend to give away gametime.

If you mean, to purchase Plex through the Playstation Store (whatever thats called) then its no different to buying it from any other reseller. So ask CCP to put the Playstation Store onto their list.

Archibald Thistlewaite III yes Im asking it to be purchased from the "psn store" so it could be easy for people who want to try directly from "Dust 514"

Then the best bet would be to contact CCP I highly doubt CCP's marketing department loiters on the forums to much.

Its a good idea though, the more resellers there are the more likely we are to get them price cutting each other.

Well it shoudnt be a problem price cutting each other because they sell items over 20$ and I sent them an email

I've never played Dust but if they use aurum can't they buy stuff with aurum and sell it on the market for isk then buy a PLEX with the isk?
