Greetings
This will be a very simple suggestion, if CCP is a bit short on cash flow the 15$ monthly fee may not be enough especially when this fee was introduced years back and if we include general inflation the sub fee should have been increased.
The current proposition is to raise the 15$ fee up to 20$.
This will clean up most of the drama associated with NEX. Also this will bring way more resources then current micro-transactions. CCP will be still making fee expansions.

Absolutely not as a game gets older the sub goes down not up. What the hell is wrong with you?
From common sense point of view the 15$ today is not the same as 15$ 5-6 years ago. ( lets include 5% yearly inflation for the sake of argument )

When was the last time the US wage was adjusted due to inflation? Oh, right.... Give me a break...
Well CCP maybe made a mistake of not including expansion in their money making structure, still a 5$ increase in month will cover the regular expansion costs. Plus I am no suggesting anything too drastic.

Originally by: Tarinara To charge $30USD ( or $40 ) for an expansion, it actually needs to contain some actual usable content. Being bug free is also a normal requirement. I don't think CCP could have gotten away with this for just about any expansion I've been around for that they've put out.
As for your subscription price increase: that functional, bug free thing applies there too. Did I miss the memo that rockets had been fixed?...
Well EVE expansion is a bit different from other MMO worlds as this is a sandbox and you cant just add a new PVP instance or battle ground for example.

Are you ******ed?
Them messing up and starting up two projects they couldnt fund should not be put on our backs. I pay my money for eve. Not to fun WoD or Dust. They should have worked out how to fund them better. Its their fault and Im not going to pay extra cause they cant pay for it. Shut down WOD till dust is done and making a profit.
I was honestly surprised about those 2 projects when I heard about them, but the way they planned DUST market entry of console only may suggest that they received funding from somewhere else. Yes I agree they should not spend a dime on other projects especially when EVE requires quite some attention.

Originally by: haurun Why would I pay an extra 5$ a month so it can help cover any cash flow issues CCP *might* have when it will be used to primarily fund other projects other than what I am paying for?
If CCP over-extended themselves due to non-eve projects, that's their problem and not mine.
- 5$ across 5 subs / 300$ more a year for looking at a door. no thanks.
I understand the frustration, but I was only suggesting EVE related expenses, I say again that I DO NOT support any other projects.

But they can add Wormhole Space, Eve Farmville, Emo Sparkle Barbie Dress-up, etc. 'Content' is whatever new feature you're adding. And since the topic here has basically danced around Blizzard and WoW: When Blizzard puts out a $40 expansion to WoW, it's polished, QA'd and pretty much bug free. Unlike CCP's expansions which introduce more bugs, exacerbate existing ones and lead to repeated daily patches. What did we have after the Scanning system patch: 1 a day for a week or so after DT?
That's why CCP can't pull off a monthly fee increase. They have too many unfixed existing bugs that they haven't even BEGUN to address. Sadly I've been one of the people here on the forums asking if/when rockets of all things are getting fixed for probably a year now at least.
Agree there still a bunch of bugs I see when I started playing eve few years back amazing....
