EVE Information Portal

I like the idea of unifying PLEX and Aurum, and the concept of making PLEX more granular in how it is bought and sold. These two things really simplify the mental gymnastics of how PLEX can be used. Good stuff there.

But I absolutely DO NOT like the concept of the PLEX Vault. This completely eliminates the risk/reward aspect of moving PLEX throughout the cluster, which will cause all PLEX prices to be completely stable across New Eden.

The PLEX Vault treats PLEX as a unique item which is always safe unless the player is exceptionally stupid. And that's not how EVE works. Destruction is vital to the sandbox, and the PLEX Vault reduces the chance of PLEX being destroyed to nearly zero.

The PLEX Vault feels like a hand-holding feature created specifically for newbros and Alphas who couldn't be bothered to do the bare minimum of research before purchasing PLEX. I get that CCP wants to invite and retain new players, but don't do it by babying them. It's insulting to their intelligence, and it will only serve to give them the wrong impression. EVE is not a place where you or your assets should feel 100% safe, EVE is not 100% fair, and that's exactly what makes the game worth playing.

CCP, you are the reason I alwas hated those horrible pineapple and banana bushel word problems in elementary school. I think you need to have your heads checked, and maybe get some of those learning skills added back into the game since you clearly need them to understand your playerbase. But hey... I play ark now instead, and there's plenty of better made space mmo's now that don't require a quarter of the bullshittery that this is becoming.

There's no indication you'll be able to buy game time in chunks smaller than 30 days. I mean, this change opens up the possibility of doing so, but the idea that a single DPLEX can be converted into 1.44 hrs of game time is an invalid assumption.

Granularity good, vault bad.

Can we add and remove plex from our plex bank? Can it go straight onto the market from the plex bank or do we have to pull it out?

More importantly, are there anymore boundry edges, like the 3500 aurum boundry to convert to a plex? Like have to pull it out in 500 plex increments?

First, let's get rid of remote skill injector activation.

I think this is a great idea. No more punishing newbies for moving Plex around because they don't realize they can be killed in high sec. Smaller units means you only need to buy as much as you need sub for if you didn't meet your monthly quota of isk.

Win win in my opinion. I can't really see any drawbacks. The interface clutter to me is a non-issue and getting rid of Aurum is a bonus to boot.

Look at the plex prices .. already 120mil inflated.

Not sure if Classic CCP (=while trying to simplify some things you add unnecessary complexity to other things) or shady plan to actually convert plex to Aurum and just call it plex instead.

Why not convert 1:720 as others already asked? Afraid of players not buying ship skins when they can think "well there goes 50 hours of my game time"?

This is why we can't have nice things.
