Heya peeps!
 
Those of you familiar with EVE online, the first game that I know of to really use a CREDD-like system (aka PLEX), you will be familiar with a system called "Hours for plex". Simply put, this is a way to get a few hours (3-4 iirc) of gametime for the express purpose of buying or activating a PLEX, giving you another month of gametime. If its found that you used these hours for any other reason (such as sending people stuff/swapping ships/etc), the feature is disabled for your account, forcing you to have to use $ to buy gametime if your account expires.
 
Would this be a feature that would be reasonable to add to W*? It would stop that horrible situation where you have gametime on your character but are unable to use it due to an expired account

Since you can activate CREDD without a sub, this part of your request does not apply. I also see no real reason to give someone a few free hours to log on and buy a CREDD.
 
 I personally believe all this would do is open a new window for people to abuse, this taking even more time away from fixing game/account problems for players so carbine could hunt down the players abusing the free CREDD time window. Remember how long it took to get any support when carbine was trying to fix those massive number of hacked accounts? Do we really want to deal with that again?

			Yeah, this isn't necessary since you can buy and use CREDD without ever logging into the game.

To be clear you can not buy CREDD for platinum without logging in, and buying it with cash just to use it as game time is incredibly incredibly foolish!

Wouldn't this be better served by installing a tool on the account manager to spend plat on CREDD without entering the game?

I suppose this would be the best option.  The OP's request is a valid one though despite some in this thread suggesting its not.
 
If you're coming back to the game and have the plat to buy a CREDD but not the cashola for a months sub this makes perfect sense.

I see what you mean.  Wouldn't that only take a tiny bit of foresight to avoid though?

Well, the simple way to avoid exploitation is to just lock out the system for anyone who doesnt buy/use a credd in that time and remove all items traded with other players/AH/etc in the duration they were on.
 
Then again, if theres a system to activate them out of game, it does seem a tad redundant. I did hear that they only last 3 months before expiring though so that could suck
