Buying nex item for your cramped closet barbie doll is akin to buying hats in TF2.
The only people lame enough to do these are carebears, who play with dolls when they think they're alone.
This video is proof that liking such things are for carebears.

I dunno.
Most carebears seem thrifty. They're afraid to lose their ships, and afraid to lose their real world money.
I know a few PVPers who sell plex and really just don't care how much the game costs them. Seems more likely they'd buy NEX items. Incarna from 2009. 3 Years later and what we have doesn't look half as good as this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n41s1Iox18A |

On the contrary I believe the nex store is something that should not have happened in the first place.

Oh is that just regular carebears or does it include nullbears as well? Any Spelling, gramatical and literary errors made by me are included free of charge.

The plague that terrorizes the modern gaming world is companies who dictate design by demographics charts and sell cheap thrills over real experiences because they know the former is more accessible.
Selling character customization is none of this. |

I am a carebear and I don't buy things from Nex. I love playing dress up with barbies (yes had them all my life, now I play with them with my daughters) and with The Sims (fun stuff). But buying stuff on Nex seems as pointless to me as this thread. |

But it is, Microtransactions is a system used by Companies like EA games and Nexon to nickel and dime players for things that they should be able to get in the first place by paying subscription.
You can argue that you can get the items by buying a plex with isk and redeeming it for AURUM, making it accessible to people who do not want to pay real money.
But, have you ever wondered by CCP simply doesn't allow you to directly buy aurum with isk in order to get the clothes?
PLEXes can only be obtained using real money in the first place, therefore Aurum can only be obtained with the use of real money, whether it'd be from your pocket or the pocket of someone elses. |

The only thing I see are the shoulders, nothing impressive.
Your behavior is what allows companies to get away with things like this.
Yield an inch and they will take a mile.
They will be encouraged and start turning other things into money grumbing schemes.
Clothes? How about spaceships, ammo, skills, how far will they go before making the game fall into a blackhole. |

The NEX store is far, FAR from the worst of this. Not nearly enough to be part of the "poster boy" for the nickel and diming of the industry.
As far as microtransactions go, I actually like how it is just a cosmetic thing and not, you know, selling power or other things interfering with gameplay. If you don't think that paying real money for virtual clothes is reasonable, nobody is forcing you to pay and you're not missing much.
Now, you could (and did) argue that this should have come with the game and shouldn't be charging for this in a subscription title. Well, I'm a fan and anything harmless that CCP can do to help keep this game alive is fine by me. |

You must people the kind of people that wear $1000 pants like CCP Zulu and justify pricing monocles at $70 for Data that took
less than a week to make and cost absolutely nothing to copy, its all just computer data. |

Selling power. Using microtransaction models to cut out industries. Selling features (You can't travel to nullsec without buying this pass). Just to name a few.
And, if I remember right, the Incarna fiasco was more about where the game was going than where it was at. |

Quick reality check here:
You can buy NEX items with ISK You can buy regular eve items with ISK
You can buy ISK for RL Cash (Selling Plex, Selling NEX items)
=> You can buy anything in eve, including NEX items with ISK or with RL cash
What exactly is your big deal with the NEX store, it does not even bring them any advantage.
I understand that there is a long cultivated plex are okay, nex is not attitude in the game community but seriously, are people really that ... shallow that they arent realizing that there is really no significant difference once the item can be sold for ISK?
Just for the sake of making this really inflammatory, if they indeed added "golden ammunition" like planned, what would have happened?
People who currently convert Plex to ISK would have converted these items to ISK by selling them on the market, effectively making it the same way it is right now. It is still very bad and evil and gives a bad feeling but .. really, this stuff is here since the PLEX, you are just used to it and "new stuff / different stuff / foreign stuff" is "evil / wrong / bad / not like us".
