I'll say this one final time: **** off with your microtransactions. Everything should be producable by players for ingame resources.

Damn, I thought and hoped the NEX store was going to be quietly removed and CCP actually instate proper sandbox methods to get the clothing (loot drops they are doing, but really, they should be earnable through LP or made by players).

I see they're also still completely invulnerable and even survive pod death, the only type of items to do so

Shame really, as I still feel rl-money-for-items is completely at odds with the entire concept of the EVE universe and should never ever have made it in game, especially after the CCP promises they weren't adding it and even mocking games that had MT.

Good to hear all the suggestions coming in. For those in doubt, the clothes shown in the blog are those you can get in the Factional Warfare Loyalty Point store for LPs+ISK. As mentioned in the blog, we will also be introducing clothing as loot drops in the near future.

So, people will be able to get some interesting clothing items without having to spend anything over and above their subscription.

Those who want to, will be able to spend to buy some other items from the Nex store. It's all about choice which isn't something we did in the past but we are doing now. You can choose to be involved or not. Each to their own. Live and let live

This isn't happening. The items are of a type that has had absolutely no history of player manufacture and in no way is diminishing gameplay. Furthermore they have no effect or influence on other mechanics of the game.

Of course they can, if CCP decides that is the way they want to go (and certain technical issues are resolved). Many items that were formerly only available from NPC's have been made player products, and with good results. There is no reason why it could not be done with many, if not all, Nex items in the future.
