I'm quite surprised that so many people were raging before about the ridiculous prices and yet after the CSM meeting, everybody calmed down even though nothing changed. The monocle is still ridiculously priced! No, I don't want any vanity item but it shows how greedy a company is. You would have thought that they would have learned from their mistake and actually brought the price down but they haven't! To me that shows how greedy they are (all evidence is proof to that as well, please refer to the leaked newsletter).
They are apologising for the leaked content but yet they are not doing anything about it... So what good is the apology then? |

Edited by: Templar Knightsbane on 15/07/2011 16:08:55 Edited by: Templar Knightsbane on 15/07/2011 16:08:29 Get with the program, the raging wasnt merely because the NEX store was overpriced, more to do with the fact a leaked internal memo from CCP stating that future plans for the Aurum currency could include things like purchasing Ships and Faction standings,
along with a leaked email the CEO of CCP declaring that this is a time when CCP look more at what customers do, than what they are saying, the outcome was
CCP have no plans to sell Faction standings or ships for Aurum, or any game changing items (non vanity), and they also said that the future Nex releases would be at a more reasonable pricing range, so
the monocle wont change price for the people who already have bought one,
CCP wont do any game changing ****
CCP CEO just looks stupid again
what is the point at shooting at the statue anymore???
you tell me, to get cheaper vanity items you wont purchase anyway???
Ps- the leaked content was all "ideas", not definite future plans, it was a discussion, that CCP have to have had, as it is their business, yeah, sweet

Well as far as I'm concerned, with the current pricing, I just concider it not even there. The clothing customization could have been a nice additional feature to the game, but oh well back to my ship.

I am fine with WHATEVER the price is for non game effecting VANITY "only" items. These are leisure/status items that I have ZERO use for and do not effect my EVE gameplay in ANY way.
People will pay whatever for whatever and this social experiment is WAI.

Having high priced items isn't in itself a problem. The problem comes from only having high priced items.
I still think they need a tier below their affordable range for new players to be able to participate.

Edited by: Darth Khasei on 15/07/2011 16:27:45 LOL, check out the price of this item in the RL EVE store vs all the others. http://store.eveonline.com/EVE-Marmot-Softshell-Jacket-P233.aspx
They are responding to what people do vs what they say.
That items is head above heels higher than anything else in the EVE store and they sell plenty.
Price points are in the eye of the individual buyer.

i feel no need to participate in the buying of nex items. plex's are for gametime imo. if they added a store where players could invent and or design vanity items and they could be exchanged for isk. id rejoice at ccp's inovation. as it stands its just a money grab to support WOD. so even if they priced nex crap at 0.01 aux for an item i will not be participating in it. aside from teh fact i wanna blow ships up and not look at my man barbie

CCP can charge as much as they want to, I will not be buying any at any price and even at free, I would have Zero-Interest in the NeX. So, have at it, soak the fools for every penny and then hire some decent Dev's to make the real part of the game work for the sake of some imaginary deity!!!

Prices isn't the problem - problem is "quality" of items. They are too pale. Where are those glass helmets which forced me to choose Gallente?
(actually I'm afraid they will cost $500-1000 - so I'll have to freeze alt accounts for a year to save for one set of decent clothing for my main)

I'd really love if they actually looked at items like that, that used to be in the old character creator. Would be nice to see some of them reintroduced. As for the cost they'll appear on the market in due course so if you some ISK to burn just buy them from there, in fact selling goggles on the market for profit paid for my set.
I think we may have seen the immediate extreme of price for the moment with the monocle and hope we'll see some of the more affordable priced items.

Well that's fine, some people don't want to mine just as some don't want to go play in 0.0 or low sec.
Personally I'd have thought those who use PLEX for game time would be happy at the high prices, certainly as the NEX store is effectively the first PLEX sink (aside from blowing them up).
The fact that CCP have gone in with high prices to make sure it doesn't inflate the PLEX price too much I would have thought would be something that those who use ISK to buy PLEX would be grateful for (though I understand not introducing a PLEX sink at all would please some people more).
As for it being a money grab to support their business, well that's what businesses do - make money! And just as EVE will fund WoD and DUST these will in turn fund other games, or even future development of EVE. Also in this case they're not forcing anyone to take part in buying virtual items, they've even offered and in game way of accumulating the items, it's simply their for those that want to make use of it.
Personally I've played this game for a few years and tried most everything with varying levels of success, I even like to role play a little and play in character from time to time and NEX offers one more way for me to help develop my character in the game if I choose to use it.
Now that we know there's going to be no game changing items my biggest concern is making sure CCP deliver content affordable to newer players so they can take part. Other than those that have no interest in it can already choose not to use it.

surely the first plex sink is actual game time. no im not so happy about aur **** being linked to plex's. i pay my accounts with plex so now i have to pay more. if i was some poor grunt that actually had to hard grind isk it would be an issue. and id bet thats why less accounts are online now. **** affordible man barbie junk. we pay a sub in plex or in cash, that should be enough for them.

The players who aren't okay with it have unsubbed - like me.
We're no longer going to bleat our cause to the uncaring ears of :CCP: seeing as according to thou lord and overseer Adolf Hilmar, our words are not as truthful as our actions.
And, in a year, if EVE is still around and if the NeX store has had more content developed for it than any other part of Incarna, I'll use the five day reactivation to laugh at people.
If the above does not happen, I'll simply go back to trolling people for a few days. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

I unsubbed due to CCPs incompetence for the last couple of years. The NeX shop and Incarna just confirmed my suspicion that this game will never go anywhere, or reach a state beyond early beta quality.
It's a damn shame because the original framework is one of the best ideas ever, but CCP is not the company able to give it the treatment it deserves.

They don't give anything positive, which is all I care about. And I'm not buying any, useful or not. People need to stop complaining about it. They should be complaining about what it might become, or actually important things. Not "oh I can't afford a stupid eyepiece"

Prices are far, far too low. Anyone who can afford to shell out $15.00 USD/month for a damn computer game should be able to pay 4, 5 or 6 times that amount ( more even I say ) for a junky looking piece of digital crap that does nothing and can be destroyed when they get podded. Anyone who understands wearing $1000 designer jeans understands this.
Just think of how happy you'll feel when your friends ask you: "You paid how much for that and then it got blown up?!"...

It calmed down because CCP stated, officially, that it didn't plan on p2w and that lower-priced items would be introduced into the NEX. As for the monocle prices... who cares? I never wanted one even on SiSi, as I thought they were rather cheesy looking. On TQ, they've become what monocles were: A tacky display of (virtual) wealth.
All the above-mentioned issues were discussed, addressed, discussed, and repeatedly discussed (to varying degrees). I recommend reading the join CCP-CSM statements in regards to Incarna, and the corresponding threads.

Again ccp is more concerned about what players do, rather than what players say. It's brilliant stance. Ccp knows most players are p***ies who will continue to pay their subscription and complain, than quit.

I never had a problem with the pricing. Still don't. But if some people want to rage at the right people for the wrong reason, I can't say I'm terribly bothered by that. It does contribute somewhat to the problem of the protest not having a coherent message, though.

Look dude this s**t isn't f***ing rocket science, either you like a product enough to buy it or not. No product is perfect, eve is no different. By paying your subscription you are telling ccp that their product is worthy of your money. That is the message you are sending. Complaining does not change a product, lack of sales does. This is how it is, so grab a tissue, stop posting, and go play world of Warcraft, best thing you can possible do to get ccp to change things.
Btw, I said stop complaining, just because I say stop doing something, that does not mean that you "can't" do it.

I dislike 2 things about the current nex shop:
- isk prices for items are immersion beaking. Even the poorest among us are supposed to be rich compared to planet bound people. Common items as expensive as a dread? It's like Calvin Klein underware priced as a boeing 747. For 1.2B isk you should get a luxurious yacht or opulent quarters in a station or a exceptional piece of jewelry or a one off a kind exceptional piece of cloathing, not something common.
- the stuff is not destructible (probably because of technical issues as well as the insane price levels).

I used ISK for mine. You know thats an option right?
Ive spent $0.00 for two accounts and goggles and ships by running missions and salvaging and selling salvage. Guess what? Holy frak its fun.
CCP isnt going to disable the store. We can either adapt or find another game. Pick one. I raged, i got my answers, i adapted. Should the prices be more in line with other titles? Yep. Is EVE reals? No. Marketing is high and if the playerbase average age was 11 and not 31, this campaign may work on us. When it runs its course and has failed, they can try again.

I think simply, the prices in the NEX store do not matter. If no one buys them, prices will go down to a reasonable level, or they will have sales. It's still a line of business, and they have to run it like one.
The rage was about a lot of other things really, the clothing prices were just an easy rallying cry to get the masses involved, as the economic and community-corporate trust issues raised by the leaked materials are obscure and difficult to communicate to the non-forum-reading EVE public.
I for one was mostly angry that I could no longer run my two accounts on a desktop which is well above the listed requirements. There was simply no warning about the strain that Incarna would put on average machines, and I wonder if CCP just figured, "Well if they really love EVE they will buy new computers to play it. If not, screw 'em, we don't cater to the poor".
Funny, I guess they would rather I buy a $70 monocle than continue to pay them an extra $180 a year?

To answer the question in the title:
Prices in the Noble Exchange are ludicrous. There isn't a single item there for which I'd be willing to pay even 1/4 of what CCP is asking.
Examples of things for which I'd be willing to pay: A ship skin that I could apply to any/all ships of that type I might ever own, even if actually applying it to a ship cost me some isk; the ability to create a custom tattoo or scar for myself, the ability to apply my corp's logo to my ships (at a very small price per ship).
I would also pay (more than a few cents to a couple of dollars) for the ability to create my own customizations/vanity items/skins that I could then sell, as long as I could sell enough items to make it worth my while. (I suspect that this will never happen, as it would lead to significant asset inflation for the EVE client. But I'd like the ability.)

Awww you cant afford anything from the nex market, here is a tissue... Seriously who gives a ****... The items dont effect game play.
I think I'm going to buy the most expensive clothing and a monocle just to irk the cry babies...
Btw, I would never spend money to buy plex, that is stupid, however I will use isk to buy plex to outfit my toon with the latest and greatest.
Awww - fail at reading? It wasn't a question of affording the item. It was a statement of what would be a cool item ( which has absolutely nothing to do with an Interwebz Spaceship game ), and what I'm guessing CCMonocle would charge for said item.
In the mean time: you go right ahead and spend your real money/virtual money on every item in that NeX store Mr. 'Look how rich I am and what a big shot it makes me'. I'm sure it'll make your ePee-Pee much bigger. Play dress up in your captains closet to your hearts content...
Why don't you go take your WoW mentality and head back there to troll the forums...

Pricing doesn't matter if it's stuff people want. If everything in the store wasn't so bland and generic they'd sell tons. I guess their 'real fashion designers' were told to "imagine a future where everything is devoid of colour, fun, or flair" and just ran wild. If CCP had 1/2 a ****ing clue they would add a pirate hat to the store.

Originally by: Katil Khashour I'm quite surprised that so many people were raging before about the ridiculous prices and yet after the CSM meeting, everybody calmed down even though nothing changed. The monocle is still ridiculously priced! No, I don't want any vanity item but it shows how greedy a company is. You would have thought that they would have learned from their mistake and actually brought the price down but they haven't! To me that shows how greedy they are (all evidence is proof to that as well, please refer to the leaked newsletter).
They are apologising for the leaked content but yet they are not doing anything about it... So what good is the apology then?
Nah people realised they were ****ing into the wind, CCP board have decided and wonŠt change direction, they have VC on board that is also involved in Big Fish games, lobby for tie in if you really want to brown nose.

Originally by: clamslayer When did I say you can't complain?
Originally by: clamslayer Stop complaining, if you don't like what ccp is doing then go play world of Warcraft.
That's when.
Originally by: clamslayer Again ccp is more concerned about what players do, rather than what players say. It's brilliant stance. Ccp knows most players are p***ies who will continue to pay their subscription and complain, than quit.
So, they players that are DOING by voicing concern don't count as much of the handful buying crap? And why does it have to be LOVE IT or QUIT? Why no middle ground? I'm not to the point of quitting, but I'm concerned it will get to that point. Obviously, I won't spend money on something that is that terrible.
I mean, surely you can understand something like that.
Look dude this s**t isn't f***ing rocket science, either you like a product enough to buy it or not. No product is perfect, eve is no different. By paying your subscription you are telling ccp that their product is worthy of your money. That is the message you are sending. Complaining does not change a product, lack of sales does. This is how it is, so grab a tissue, stop posting, and go play world of Warcraft, best thing you can possible do to get ccp to change things.
Btw, I said stop complaining, just because I say stop doing something, that does not mean that you "can't" do it.
Lol, what a joke! What are you twelve? Dude go join another forum, this here is for adults and mature people. Go troll somewhere else

Personally, I like the prices. I don't want to see every other scrub in the game with a cool designer shirt like mine :)

Most people weren't raging about the prices and most people raging have taken any number of actions from quitting, to just training skills, to managing their operations(business, corporation) until their sub or isk/plex reserves run out, are happy to believe the blatantly vague lie told by CCP and carried to us by the CSM, or are still voicing their disapproval on the forums etc.
All the reactions make sense when the message was basically 'we sorry' but 'nothing is changing' cause 'we be awesome'.
Changing the prices is pretty meaningless as the stuff is really craptastically unimaginative as well as even more limited than the free clothing options we had when the CC dropped on us. Who honestly thought that was possible? NEX prices are specifically designed as a stupid tax on the rich.

The rage was not about the prices for the overwhelming majority of angry players. The prices were (and still are) hilarious, but that did not drive the anger. Fears of pay to win items drove the anger.
