Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Truly I think it is an awesome idea for official CCP merch

as for charity I think having it as an option is a really good idea and im not a fan of charity tbh

an effective mark up will counter any issues with plex freefall

Risk- it may go to far and plex will dry up completely cutting of the players who work hard for their plex

Risk- their may be a legal crapfest as to how to go about this multiply by the numbers of countries with a eve population

to stop the stop plex running out they can limit the large items, also with a price increase more plex will be brought and sold for isk in return helping to stabilize the price.

the plex prices have gone from below 400 million isk when they first came out to over 1 billion isk and they will continue to rise and fall but what people for get is the PLEX has become the EVE gold standard every time there's a large increase in the price of plex there's a large increase in other items prices.

most of the people that don't pay for game time with real money these days are not the ones who can't afford it they are the ones that just have too much isk and i mean 100's of trillions on accounts.

there are a lot more people that work there ass off in real life that don't have the isk for a plex as there time is spent earning money to pay real life bill's than there are people that can pay with Real Life Cash that don't as they have isk coming out of there wazoo.

so the collectors Edition's are never put on eBay?

Isk is never sold on eBay?

Accounts have never been sold on eBay?

knee jerk attitude isn't the best way to go just because 1 person robs a bank doesn't mean all banks should be closed down

Selling in game item account and isk will get you banned but they can't stop someone selling something physical + the cost to buy the items for an RMT wouldn't be worth it they would need to farm the isk buy the plex buy the item then place the item on eBay hoping it sells for more or at least the same as they would have got from selling the Isk in the first place and believe me RMT's don't like to work hard for there cash if they can't bot it they don't want to know.

lastly how many of the same ITEM do you think they could buy before CCP flagged there account?

ISK and account have been sold on ebay. They've also been knee-jerk banned because you know, not allowed.

Easiest way to not enable this is to now start a scheme allowing it to happen in the first place.

I maybe wrong but every single negative comment seems to be more of a fact they might have to pay a bit more Isk for a plex which is a good thing too many super rich out there taking the pee with the value of a plex I know of people that have got enough isk on more than 1 account to buy enough plex to sub the accounts they have for over 10 years

with eBay though since not authorized they have control. Mention eBay in petition while you will be slammed for EULA violation yourself you get the satisfaction of taking the other guy down too. And his buyer if he flipped the item/char in question.

With plex to real items that are sold independent of game, there is not control from ccp. Its me selling a card in this case. Buyer doesn't have to know where it came from. best an e-bay buyer can do is write you and ask for serials of the item sold to see if hot. Only the truly anal bother to get this info, and on my cards I have seen good luck figuring out what actually is the right serial number and not a part number lol. I fight with my disposal people all the time turning in gear. Ever work with big cisco gear? They have several serial numbers fro x cards and such in them. One that wins is the one you can actually get a TAC case submitted for the whole thing.



Quantity is an issue, ccp can't go all socialist communist and go who has more than say 3 computers. While 20 would be overt potential issue....smart RMT'ers would go for say 4-5 and be less suspect. Make this a $200 card, 5 cards is still $1000 cash on the barrel head. I ain't greedy, $1000 would do me fine.

I in my tech overload days had 4 boxes. I could justify in these days a few more (space in room was limiting factor). 1 for IT work as it were, 1 for testing/IT extreme tinkering (never get freaky with a box needed up full-time, somehing I know ccp would not even argue....test bed systems are damn near a commandment in the IT realm) , 1 for daily use/gaming, and the wife's.

Now I have scaled down and love me virtual technology off a beefed up system and the wife uses an iPad and is happy with that. If asked by CCP though, yes mr auditor I am an IT admin who works on stuff at home who is learning to code as well and have several physicals running. Now give me my 5 $200 cards so I can make me $1000....err, upgrade 5 boxes.


CCP did it before we can say....maybe they learned from this. CCP is not perfect. One day somer was their buddy, then another day on the ban lists when the rtm was just way to obvious. We all make mistakes. Key to mistakes is to accept they will happen but also to ensure to not make the same ones twice.
