Did you consider that how theyre on about launching it at present there's only going to be a certain clientele that are whole heartedly going to exp ... embrace it with all there wealth.

You mean like - if you buy game time from the Alliance website we will supply you with TSP at a discount - Monetizing the game from both sides....

A.Doesn't effect it any differently than TSP way,except CCP controlling it everyone has equal access at the same price.
B. The loyalty part being its more expensive to skill this way than the real time method of existing capsuleers.
C. Who gives a flying **** about MT's, theyre here and here to stay - The in games ones now are purely vanity obviously more objectionable.
D. MT's are there for that purpose are they not, surely the depreciation scale makes it obvious that its only useful up to a point.
E. What effort is there going to be to buy a TSP - oh wait we really don't know that yet !!!
F. ???? have no clue what that even means !!
G. So you prefer a way for something that is going to be very exploitable in game, As opposed to a fair , price regulated , non exploitable item. Hmmmm .

You see the irony here, The people who want this to happen with all its unknown outcomes are suddenly averse to it when it could be sold with zero impact on the game by CCP.
I'd much prefer it to draw new people in than to create blob domains in null. Ive gone past the point of caring about MT's in games anymore and if CCP offered this by them selling it i view it no different than blizzard offering there 90 Boost for $65/40 euro's.
EDIT:
All Time based items should be protected from exploitation like characters and GTC were so you've just said you want to exploit it, Your a sterling example of why this is such a bad idea.

Thats why CCP should do it.

So these so called RL rich players are fine buying plex - isk to buy them in game, but somehow can't find $6 to buy them from CCP ????
Or are you referring to the fact again that buy CCP selling them there is no exploitable market to be had. All the in game rich people can't abuse it .

A few things:
Reverse redeemed plex for character transfer payment cannot be traded or scammed.
PLEX in game, which is time in game item form, can be scammed.
Characters are traded via in game currency, which per you is also time.

In game transfer of time is the current precedent. Scamming time is a precedent with a single exception, characters, for reasons related to actual theft of characters, which is not allowed.

At no point was this reasoning ever stated or implied. I have no idea where you got this from.

If by "abuse" you mean use then yes. You haven't actually justified excluding them yet save stating that scamming is possible, which is a supported mechanic of the game. Since we already know time (PLEX) is scammable and that doing so is allowed and supported, and you have such a big issue with it, are you sue you're playing the right game?

"CCP, nerf friends"

Or more specifically: "In game entities shouldn't be able to offer advantages for their members, cooperation shouldn't be able to reap rewards for being successful, and leveraging their success should never become a benefit to their new recruits (which is ironic as that's likely the place with the highest retention)"

---

So basically, as I understand you both, the market that functions perfectly fine for everything else in game (including time in PLEX form) is too broken for this specifically because old players can buy things and may chose to do so for some new players.

Worse, since scamming is possible, all new players, those with the least attachment to the game and the most to gain from the feature, should reasonably be expected to be ready and willing to pay even more real cash.

And this is more fair because simply being excluded on every level due to RL finance constraints ensures equality.

Glad you got this all figured out so well.

If CCP offered:
An item that allowed a toon to be packaged for sale ISK for SP on the market.
An item to remap a toons SP
An item to add SP or Boosters to increase SP gain (diminishing returns on higher skilled Toons)

When the above list is compared with the functions of the proposed TSP system its the SAME outcome apart from ONE thing

Something is missing - can you spot it.....

This is true - if you a willing to spend RL cash over and above the subscription for PLEX@store you will probably be able to do it for SP@Store

OF course if its SP@market it then follows that in game ISK rich players as well as RL rich players can do something a poor subs only player cannot - Does that not disadvantage & discourage players on a lower budget. newbies and the like?

Well try reading back up your intellectually challenged answers and you will find the corresponding part. You cant give me one solid reason why CCP shouldn't sell them, apart from to witter on about how to exploit something is fine and within the rules. The mechanic involved in creating this don't forget is a thin air product from the NEX store, so still needs a MT. If it could benefit everyone in game by purchasing from CCP why do you find it would be better applied so that only big corps/alliances are going to be making the most use of it.
The new average joe bloggs will not get a look in on these items player controlled, thats a fact and as you pointed out to me when i used the term "unknown outcome" referring to exploit, If you were honest you would also say the same about who is going to be controlling the purchasing of all these items.

So after all this, nothing is being done to either draw new players in or help them in anyway, player driven is purely self serving.
