I'll reiterate my request that VGs be obtainable through ISK, and never degrade. This has been a pet peeve of mine in most free-to-play online games even though I understand why their business model would get a person to pay a premium to get a permanent version of these items. I do not think EVE needs that seeing as there's already a subscription fee associated to it (no, Oblivion's horse patch is not a good example.)
*snip*
MTs is when RLmoniez changes into virtual goods.
CCP wants the RLmoniez on top of the subscription, which is fine, but naturally excludes "vanity items for isk".
If there ever will be an option to get vanity items with isk it must take the same route as subscription for isk >>> PLEX.
And as has been discussed they will need smaller PLEX for this to not to reinvent the wheel again.
Ergo, see my Sig:

It is really alarming what is going on with Incarna. Everyone can see tons and tons of RED FLAGS - if the development of PI was full of red flags (yeah, players on the forums pointed out the problems of PI very early), then I don't know what Incarna should be called.
This is really odd. And the CSM reports are also not encouraging, not at all. Maybe someone should shake up the whole Incarna teams and stuff.
What is the Incrana-Team anyway?
What do they do?
Are they responsible for the Character Creator or what?
In the Minutes it was stated that a part of the core group is responsible for the servers behind it.. movement nodes, right?
So how many people and what kind of job are we talking about here?
And who is responsible for the communication with the CSM in that/those teams?
Is this something personal (team leader has problems with CSM/xyz) or are all in that/those teams so tight-lipped?
Also, on the matter of expectation managing.. CCP you did a poor job with PI.
You know INTERNALLY that you had got problems in the team for PI but you didn't communicate this with us (population control, planetary trade, pollution). And if you hadn't showed us the CC on Sisi 3 months ago with us commenting on what you already got this would had been another disaster on the list.
So what's the problem?
If you answer on that I don't want to read what you envision for Incarna or what you want to come back to in another cycle.. I want to read what works and what we realistically can expect from it. And then I want a warning if you run into trouble and have to scrap features from that realistic list.

But, nothing stops us from fooling around with the system. The vanity currency does not necessarily need to be PLEX. In other words, we could very well have something like "Buy this awesome shirt for 100 million ISK or 1$ US."
ISK can be created ingame by player activity.
The point of MT is to get more RLmoniez for CCP, not people playing the game longer.
PLEX is just a name for a coupon/voucher/miles.. it's worth ### RLmoniez and can be traded ingame.
As the RLmoniez value of that voucher is considered to be to big for stuff like a haircut or a custom color on a spaceship it needs to be broken down.
If that coucher later on is called ŠPLEX or KSI or Eve-Miles doesn't matter.
The important point is that you can not introduce the additional features to be able to be purchased for isk if you want them to be MTs.
Naturally there is no need to stop people trading those vouchers for isk and then go with the voucher shopping those items.
That mechanic is already ingame in the form of PLEX.
And now to the juicy part.. as PLEX and the new voucher are practically the same thing, just the voucher is worth less RLmoniez than a PLEX we might as well get rid of PLEX and replace it with something smaller.
