"micro-transactions for vanity items are fine"
No they're not, for anything in Eve. RL is a big enough battle already between the have and have nots. Please don't degrade Eve to that disgusting level.
I don't think we're playing the same game.

Paying 10M isk for picture of Mittani in leopard coat.
Or...how about one of those lion skins, with the head still attached and on his head...
Or...how about one of those giraffe costumes like in the Lion King...

Frankly I find the entire micro transaction thing discussing. This is EVE it is an evil universe where it is player skill and determination that decides who wins. I play EVE because it is complex, because it is complicated, and because it is DIFFERENT than other MMOs.
I do not care or believe that micro transaction will be limited to only vanity item, we know this is the stop gap measure to keep pressure low so they can implement the system and then start micro transactions for everything else. As if the CSM has any control over the issue anyway, CCP wants money and the CSM will fold like a punk.
What microtransactions do we currently have, really only PLEX for time which is bad enough. Where will it end?
PLEX for LP
PLEX for SP
PLEX for Special mission content
PLEX for whatever the heck they want.
We already have PLEX for payment which I think is bad enough, but to open up for micro transaction is just bad. I can only speak with my wallet but I have no place in a micro transaction EVE and will happily close my account. And yes you can have my stuff when I leave because Micro transactions in EVE will mean EVE is not a game I want anymore.
This sounds reasonable. But right now they're just saying that skill, experience and determination will still determine the better pilot. But wallet size will separate the hot, red leather pants-wearing players from the Old Navy cargo pants-wearing players.
I can live with that.
When PLEX for any of the things you mention (which...you just made up out of thin air) is presented, I'll be out the door right in front of you. But I'm not packing my bags.

also vile rat, keep in mind that first impression means a lot to vile vets.
So because of CSM 1-3 especially. with the 4-5% voter turn out and lack of anything happening. you're fighting an uphill battle. But I say, you can do it!
Just an FYI- Voter turnout for each CSM (as a percent of all eligible accounts):
CSM1 - 11.1%
CSM2 - 8.6%
CSM3 - 9.7%
CSM4 - 7.4%
CSM5 - 12.7%
CSM6 - 14.2%
