This is nonsense. Context matters, first of all. There is a gulf of difference between “hey you have the option to buy plex and sell in game if you want” and contextualizing monetary purchases around someone’s first loss as a brand new player.
Your statement about how people acquire battleships/caps etc is equally as nonsensical because PLEXing is absolutely not how most players acquire those ships. A knowledgeable player with minimal skills can daytrip a wormhole and come out with enough to buy a capital. You don’t need a plex/omega to afford them. It’s a ridiculous position to take and frankly if the game were structured that way, it truly should be dead because we’re clearly beyond the pale.
