that has to be fake because you cant take plex out of stations.

They changed that a few weeks ago.

Yeah, seem to have. Didn't even realise it was a restriction tbh.

From: http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=776

What does that mean specifically
• We will remove the restriction on undocking from a station with a PLEX in your cargo hold
• We will remove the restriction that PLEX cannot be put into courier contracts
• We will remove the restriction that items (including PLEX) can only be redeemed into NPC stations
• We will remove the restriction that items (including PLEX) can only be reverse-redeemed from NPC stations
• We will remove the restriction that ETC can only be converted into PLEX while inside an NPC station

If you blow up a ship that happens to be carrying PLEX, it may drop the PLEX as loot or it may be destroyed in the conflagration (much like any other item in a ship's cargo hold). The refund policies for PLEX will not be any different from any other item.

I had a feeling it wouldn't be long before something like this happened after I read that post...

I feel that having PLEX as cargo is a little too dangerous and open to manipulation/harassment as seen here. Really it should be included in your wallet or something.

BrokenArrows

dam that was a stupid decision to allow transport of plex.

its like a money hole when they get destroyed.
they should atleast make them a non destroyable item so they can be collected in loot.

Ouch.

No really. Ouch.

TBH, whether it's PLEX or anything else in EVE it adds up to money - be it the value of the time mining, producing, looting it or the value of the Real World (TM) cash you paid to purchase it. It's just easier to put a price tag in Euros on PLEX.

EVE has long had the possibility of being a soul destroying game whenever you get ganked in PvP or scammed. It's happened to me and I'll be honest I've canceled my subscription for a few months to recover - but always went back. It's just part of the game.

They shouldn't have transported cargo of that value in one go, IMHO; at least not without traveling with an invasion fleet level escort. Personally, I wouldn't be canceling my subscription after that, I'd be in a church tower with a rifle...

In a fucking Kestrel no less. I wonder if it was from Chinese farmers. Some poor schmuck just got dragged into a Beijing alleyway and shot.

I agree I wouldnt have transported such valuable cargo unless I had a combat patrol group on alert status watching my flanks at battle speed.

Drakar

Presumably he didnt just buy $1300 of game time and decide to fly around with it anyway, I guess he collected it in a similar way from other people or something?

no he bought it in one go and lost it that same day

Cheeky monkey

Did he buy them with cash or isk?

Maj Malfunction

I'd say he bought them with cash through GTC's or something like that. Either way that's a ton of ISK to move in a crappy little frigate with a war dec running.
