Personally i am very much against micro-transactions in a subscription based game as it does feel like we are being double charged, so i am against the whole idea of Aurum and micro-transactions.
Although I think a greater customisation/personalisation to our avatars is a great idea and should be continued.
Okay so i'm a bit demanding, so sue me... (please dont).
I realise it would be very difficult financially for CCP to do both atm so.....
If CCP cant afford to remove Aurum and simply give players this content ( or be able to buy it straight off through isk/LP etc without any involvement of MC) on a continual basis, one idea may be to hold off on creating any more clothing until Dust and/or WoD have been released and are bringing in some revenue.
(just an idea)
Anyway...
That said, i've loved a lot of the new updates and will def keep playing if things continue this way.
The idea of buying unique clothing from FW using isk/LP is inspired, maybe you could expand on this and make it possible for the bigger player corps/alliances to put their logos on their clothing as well. |

**** MT.
Not that there's anything Micro about paying $15 for something that is nothing more than a few 1's and 0's. If you don't want to use MT no one is forcing you. You are not entitled to clothing or ship paints or "god knows what else". They are optional extras that don't affect your flying in space abilities.
An issue which i believe may be at the heart of many players concerns is that it is our subscriptions that have funded the development of these avatar items already.
So in effect we have already paid for said items, but cannot actually have them unless we destroy gametime (plex) or pay extra RL money directly to CCP.
At least thats my take on the situation. |

All in all, while I'm really glad that CCP at least made it so that you can get this content entirely within the realm of the game, the fact that you can also get it from outside of the game is incredible (and not the good kind of incredible, either.)[/quote]
QFT
I think we can probably draw a line under this statement and call it a day. |
