EVE General Discussion

Should the PLEX changes be limited to a transferable nontangible ungankable currency like is ISK or a physical comity that has to be transported like everything else.

I like the idea of a bank being safe when I deal with those kinds of thing being a lowly alpha miner. If I was working towards a plex to go omega that would take 2-4 month to make, I would me nervous to transport too.

But I know that being a comity, being hauled means a lot of realism and risk and reward. It would change a lot of the risk and rewards aspect of the game.

If you want to play with that reasoning, all BPs should be non-inventory, a lot of the R&D stuff, tags, who knows what else. I *know* you've been around forever (I even used some of your terrible battleclinic loadouts when I was a rookie ;) ) You know not to apply any form of realism to game mechanics.

I have mixed feelings about the PLEX vault. CCP has been all over the map when it comes to PLEX safety from the beginning. Originally you couldn't undock a plex at all, then you could reverse redeem but not claim in a different station, then you could undock a plex, and now the vault will let you reverse redeem and claim anywhere. But the story of the plex has changed in regards to who's using them, what types of people spend $ on them, the sense of "cheating" or "lazy" they tended to carry in the beginning, how people understand them. Maybe the point of the vault is to nudge plex back to being more rookie friendly like ETCs seemed to cater to in the old days. Or maybe we've got EA stooges in charge and it's all about the dolla dolla bills, damn the consequences.

Imo if PLEX is going to be cut into 500 pieces, it should require transport.

Ofc the Plex magnates dont want that.
They want a vault to hold and transfer it all from.

FML.
This stinks so goddam bad.

PLEX is an INGAME ASSET.

It should be bought/sold/transferred the same as any other.

There is more money to be made with PLEXes if they can be destroyed in space without ever getting used. A PLEX going boom and not dropping is currently money directly in their pocket since they don't even have to provide a service no matter how small for it.

Actually, I like the PLEX vault.

It will **** the gankers off, and make them cry.

That's true.

Plus CCP is getting away from aur(thank god). I rather it more fluid that I can buy something out of the skins market without some 3rd form of currency

It's main use is the fact that you can lose it. Simple as that.

Looks more like a technical work around to me. They made it an item so it could be put on the market since everything on the market is an actual item. The fact you can move it around and by that also lose it is only the result of what they were stuck doing with it.
