Torfi said that we would be able ourself to produce vanity items and furniture and stuff for our bars. WE not THEM. Now i come and ask......

Will the bars the rent for upkeep, the furniture the liquor and dancers etc be sold via aurum as well? Because if you do this will go more and more in to the Second Life sphere of gamplay.

This is OUR sandbox and the Sand has been paid for. Dont Shιt in it pls, I am sceptical.

They said in the question thread answers we will get the ability to manufacture AURUM items in future.

If the EVE community was given the tools to create items all that would be created would be skimpy outfits for females and giant *****es.

I guarantee all that read this: this will be the first "development" in years that CCP will actually spend time on with a constant influx of "improvements". They won't leave this bad boy alone, I assure you.

I have had 2 accounts since September of 2009 and three since June of 2010; At ~$14 / month, that's $406 I've paid to CCP (plus the map books and the two novels, which I sincerely enjoyed) - And I'm just a small time player - Some of your customers have had three or more accounts for years longer.

Though frankly, clothing for Aurum is stupid. It's a common-sense manufacturable item that players should be able to make, which you're breaking the immersion by only allowing the magical space fairies to supply to the market..

Let me use an example. CCP released a new ship BPO not that long ago: the Noctis. You needed in game money to participate. You could get that in game money from either buying a PLEX or earning money in game. It would be unfair to describe this as releasing new content behind a pay wall.

If CCP releases pair of leather boots, and you need in game money to participate, you could get that in game money from either buying a PLEX or earning money in game. I believe it is likewise unfair to describe this as releasing new content behind a pay wall.

We aren't just starting this whole thing today. Rather, there are large piles of PLEX and ISK already in the game. The "pay real cash" part you are describing happened long ago.

We would like to offer some items for sale to tempt some of those sitting on piles of cash to spend them.

Come on, do you really think CCP has the integrity to come out and tell us that they are spending all their money on developing WoD? The second Whitewolf got involved Eve online began to die. CCP easily spends more resources on marketing than they do on maintaining their product. They are charlatans and have been as much for near 3 years now. Notice how they never actually use logic in their replies, but instead side step every major issue ever brought up?

The thought of having micro-transactions in a subscription-based game is just horrible. -_-

The future of this can be foreseen by analising SL history. People create content, they are paid in SL currency. There is no IRL involved, there is no formal liability unless to the "game" developers. So they are entitled to the work legally.

First thing is, you can use your work outside EVE, which can lead to a problem sometimes, but not an issue most of the time.

Second thing, and that is something SL users and developers know well. Content can be created, no problem at this point. Initially deemed worth and legal. Then some time later, when there are copies of that all around, it happens to have some legal issue. The circus is formed.

If they hire or otherwise contract art designers to do so, they get rid of most of the problems by paying and registering content. An inconvenience is the cost, which is the main reason they need to be primarely bought with real money.

Very disappointing. So we already pay you a fee per month for this game and its features, and now you want us to pay you again on top of that.

Not to mention that clothes will cost more than a whole ship. If an article of clothing costs more isk than even an executioner it will be laughable at best.

And for those who think that it will give more $ to develop the things in eve we have been wanting think again. The $ will only fund devs to make more of this utter crap instead of fixing / adding core features to the game. Why should they update and add things for "free" when they can **** you for more cash by making clothes with their time. This is already evident with the last updates. Nerf this, screw that, bunch of updates with little thought or effort put into them, while their devs are spending time proudly making clothes to sell.

If they really wanted to make clothes a great system, they would make a way to manufacture them with patterns, PI textiles, dyes, etc. The same with painting your ship - paints could be manufactured, industrialists could paint ships, etc. Instead were left with disappointment.
