...aaand yet again - Every legit PLEX in the game was bought from CCP by someone, putting real money into CCP. CCP gets real money from players PLEXing their EvE accounts same as players paying a subscription. Players who PLEX their accounts are contributing to the game financially the same as subscribers, the real money going to CCP is simply separated by another step or so.

Really... Roll...it's not a difficult concept.


What I am wondering about however is what exactly is a non legit PLEX?

EDIT: Obviously Vortexo VonBrenner is perPLEXed by my question, does anyone else have any ideas on what would be a non-legit PLEX, because without it I really don't get what point he was trying to make and was just going to define that as a worthless rant...



Well..."non-legit"...Have you heard of RMT?...there ya go.

"perPLEXED", eh? ok... You really wanted to use that gem after you thought it up dintcha? Glad to provide an opportunity for you.



Yes I have heard of RMT, but what exactly is non legit PLEX? You need to define it as your post was so open in terms of definition it was worthless. As far as I know RMT uses in game bots to produce ISK to buy legit PLEX, now is that your only definition of non legit plex. I need to understand what you define as non legit to understand your post.

PS I enjoyed adding the perplexed comment in as I thought it was funny, but no need to use that to escape the question...

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

Oh, brother. No, I do not feel the need to explain basics until you decide you will understand...or admit understanding, sorry.

Every PLEX in game was purchased with IRL money given to CCP.

You can't make PLEX from thin air. Trading IG PLEX for ISK is the only form of legit RMT (well, skill injectors, SKINS, etc but you get it). Therefore, every PLEX is a 'legit PLEX'.

Trading IRL money to a 3rd party in exchange for isk they've made, whether through botting or not, is illicit RMT. Some people use the IRL money they make from RMT to buy PLEX. That is still legit PLEX but it was bought with tainted money. (honestly, if every RMT'er did this, CCP wouldn't need to care any more about RMT, since it's basically just a more complex way of buying PLEX, haha)
