Originally by: Rodj Blake Or if they can't afford to hire some devs, they could always allow players to create clothing.
But there wouldn't be any profit in that.
Leaving aside the technical nightmare of content creation tools for the playerbase. And then the problem of advertising unique items available only at certain stations. Would need a new market window of some sort.
But that sounds like what they're doing ... There's the Eve player driven economy and now there's a parallel economy and currency that won't effect gameplay. But allowing players to create items necessarily merges the two. Trainwreck.

The OP is assuming the drift toward the AUR shop for gameplay impacting items ...
Not unreasonable assumption.

a) post with your main so we can settle this. Or we can continue to battle it out forum warrior style. I assume you will choose the latter.
What you see is what you get ...
Originally by: Karl Planck
b) it is an unreasonable ASSUMPTION considering that CCP has explicitly stated, over and over and over, that MT will not have an impact on gameplay. Even in the dev thread it sounds like he is not to excited about accessorizing.
Stop and think for a moment, ok? Noble and earnest promises to NEVER EVER sell game-changing items via the AUR shop aside, CCP is doing this for the cash, nothing more and nothing less. The lure for more cash will push that envelope. That is the ONLY reasonable assumption.

I don't think that selling game-changing items via AUR would bring in additional players and would in fact annoy existing subscribers. AUR game changing items would probably bring in some additional revenue from the existing player base, but I doubt CCP would risk upsetting the Eve cash cow for limited gains.
CCP risk upsetting the existing player base? LOL
Then you have a much higher opinion of CCP's risk calculus than I do. CCP makes a sport out of ****ing off its userbase. This is the sunset plan for Eve .. move into a nice MT-hybrid model while the new shiny MMO is getting ready in the stable.
