Throwing in my 0.02 Plex

"74?" The blogging world is alive with this conversation... and hell, why not, at the directors meeting yesterday Horrible Inc. Directors stood stoopified staring at the kill mail.. and spent some time talking about "deserve" "stupid" "WTF?" and so forth.

So here is my two isk on the subject.

Alot of people are currently talking about the CCP Morality of the issue of plex and its now destructibility. The who's the why's and the WTF's of it all are enough to make some one rage quit... bye Aystra, i would ask for all your stuff.. but ... well ... lol :)

Buying/trading plex for isk/dollars RL. hell yes i support it, i think that it was not only a fantastic financial decision on CCP's part that has made the game a better place to be, all around (despite a wee bit of broken economy/skill ratio with 3month old accounts with CNR for example) but also a brilliant way to eliminate the stereotypical situation of (i have time and you don't cause you have a job so you suffer..) which has been broken in all games, the best gear, items , skills and so forth always going to the 14 year old who doesn't go to school anymore cause wow is too fun. while the hard working, community building, power behind the subscription base was left to suffer for lack of time to commit to "the grind" .. i love CCP and their move to RL equity in isk.

Making it destructible.. had to, sorry, the reality is that if they could take my money in RL for some in game isk, and let my purchased ship explode... then they had to make the plex in game be able to explode.. to keep the plex indestructible the way it had been... would have cheapened the entire transaction, resulting in a breakdown of the in game equity.
I was waiting for them to do it since the day they introduced it, and i was excited to see the day come.

What i'm left wondering.. what are the odds that of 74 items in a stack, not a single one would survive? Has a PLEX ever survived an explosion? can PLEX survive an explosion? If you want to question the morality of PLEX selling and destructability... it would be wrong if plex doesn't drop.. I will hope that is not the case, but I am keeping my eye open, looking for the killmail that drops one.. if you have seen one, feel free to leave me a link and i will sleep better at night, knowing that.
