EVE Information Portal

Please make an option to give all your alts access to the PLEX vault of your main, based on mutual agreement.

It's official now: I will hold all your PLEX, take care of me.

Why not just make Aurum the material of trade? Otherwise the name PLEX (Pilot Licence Extension) won't make sense when you need 500 of them to extend your licence...

Instead make Aurum's an in-game transportable and tradable object. You can make a PLEX with 500 Aurum, buy a re-sculpt with 400 Aurum or whatever etc. and you can buy Aurum on Amazon and other retailers along with the in-game market like you can PLEX at the moment.

Remove the line from the already EXTREMELY crowded inventory window. Its the only bit of this dev blog I have major issues with, because for anyone with either small monitors or too much stuff open in-client, the inventory list is already hanging down below the edge of the window requiring scrolling to get to hangars. This exacerbates the issue without adding any benefits to the vast majority of players.

Apart from that, I have no idea why you went with 1:500 conversion, but I can live with that, so pack the rest of it up and ship it.

I see these as good changes.
1/3500 was a lot of granularity and that level of granularity was not in use. You never see anything sold for 1 Aurum.

1/500 is very likely plenty of granularity.

1/500 is easier to remember and understand for calculating the cost of small items. It's less convenient for people who are just looking for 1 month of Omega time, but more convenient for everyone else.

The PLEX vault can move PLEX around New Eden is better for very new players who don't understand their risks. Those people aren't the ones pirates should be farming anyway. This way is better for EVE in the long term. Let a brand new player get established and informed of risks first.

As a side benefit to players with multiple accounts, your Aurum can now be combined on one character, essentially.

It requires guile and experience to know that you don't need to move PLEX. New players lack both.

Please mind the slope; it's slippery from here on.

Question: Will players be able to move PLEX into their Vault remotely, or do they have to be present at the inventory location of the PLEX to do so?

Why not make things simpler?

Like: 1. Get rid of Aurum. 2. Sell all the aurum stuff on market for isk. Sell isk via PLEX as usual.

No interface changes, no hassle, everything would be easier.

If you really want to split PLEX, then please, make it so that it represents game time, like 1 PLEX = 1 day

yes indeed, the entire concept of moving plex was completely stupid and only clueless people and RMTers would do that. Buying plex in jita and selling them in Dodixie wouldnt get you any reward compared to the risk.

im not sure if im looking forwardto this since im often buying plex and i cant really be bothered to spend more on them xD

CCP: Did you consider getting rid of the PLEX instead of the Arum? Just convert all PLEX to Aurum, add an Aurum market, and sell Omega status for 3500 AUR per month. It would be like cutting up the PLEX into 3500 smaller bits rather than 500.

Also, why 500? Nothing in the Aurum store sells for the equivalent of 7 AUR. Is there really a need for that small a unit? How about 35 new-PLEX (or new-AUR) per PLEX, and one new-AUR per 100 AUR?

I have a feeling you went through all these permutations. How did you end up with this particular new system?
