Came here to post the same thread, 4 plex for a glass eye? Are you insane?!?
Vanity items should be in the 100s range if that!
Bad move CCP, and I've stood up for you in the past. ----------------------------------- New Eden Chronicles: Prime, Coming soon. |

Originally by: Ishnadriel I mean who is gonna buy a vanity item for 12.000 Aurum - 4 plex - 45$ dollars in real life money ? Seriously... How bad is CCP for money ? This NEX prices are ridiculous...
Hmm... 4 * 17.5 $ = 45 $ ??? Are you sure that's not just a decimal point ? As in, "twelve point zero zero zero AUR", or 0.06 USD ? If not, what the bloody hell costs the equivalent of over 1 bil ISK at current ISK-to-PLEX prices ?
For that kind of money I want my glass eye to shoot out my guns and kill multiple targets before coming back...
Wait... scratch that...
I'm not falling for it.
Lower the damn price! ----------------------------------- New Eden Chronicles: Prime, Coming soon. |

Originally by: The Doctorz After just seeing what all the fuss is about, perhaps this is an issue of wrong wording/definitions. I would surmise that these are of course not micro-transactions in any form and majority of the anger is the usage of this term alone. The price is evidence of that as many before me have pointed out that a micro payment is a few dollars at best. These are premium status symbols of the affluent part of eve players, optional extras == extravagance that adds nothing more than pure vanity to those people who have large wads of disposable real income and want the chance to display that wealth in the eve society. Ofc they can be traded in for ISK so those who care for a monocle can pay the iskies for it.
However luxury items will naturally be about quality and lower "boutique style" sales over bulk micro sales therefore naturally not appealing to the majority of us as demonstrated here (many of us will naturally not care for vanity at whatever price point is set) and that is the philosophy behind vanity items, they have no function other than psychological status symbols. So the rage might actually be a sign they got exactly the price point they wanted, imagine seeing a monocle on a character in local and podding him heh, who wont be calling them primary or pirating them knowing their iskies are probably plex funded.
I wont be buying a monocle ever or a nice frock for my alt but I would kinda smile if did have tonnes of $$$ (i dont ) and i saw people spitting feathers as I strolled through a station in future expansions wearing a gentleman's attire and monocle having paid for several NPC bots to follow me around, two lovely hunnies in each arm and an announcer who will announce my entry to any bar with a trumpet fanfaire. Being able to make people rage just by doing that would be funny to me at least.
(someone buy me a monocle!)
/2cents.
I will not be impressed or intimidated by anyone who spent 4 months worth of game time in isk or rl cash, if anything I will laugh at how pathetic they are and try to kill them all the same. The only thing that intimidates me is their piloting skill. ----------------------------------- New Eden Chronicles: Prime, Coming soon. |

Originally by: Aderata Nonkin So much idiocy and ignorance in this thread I don't know where to look anymore.
Did any of you actually stop and think that the pricing might NOT be deliberate but perhaps will change once the expansion is out and the dust settles?
I suppose to stop and actually think takes too much work from the lonely brain cell most of you idiots have occupying that sticky membrane inside your skulls.
Wait and see what happens. Wait for a representative from CCP to clarify the situation. Right now you're worse than the WoW crowd and that is disgusting behaviour indeed. I'm really ashamed of this so-called community at present.
We did think that, then CCP stated that the price was intentional in the in-game help channel last night. Read around page 10 for CCP's comments on the prices. ----------------------------------- New Eden Chronicles: Prime, Coming soon. |
