Some great quotes:

[ 2011.06.22 00:00:44 ] CCP Zinfandel > The Looking Glass Ocular Implant (right/gold) is fairly expensive. It's also a machine being installed into your eye and one would not want to buy a cheap version of something to go in your face. But you can also buy them on the...

One word responses are lame, but this one is well deserved:
ÇÇP
Psst; microtransactions; guess what that actually means...

Another priceless remark by a CCP employee (seriously, what's the secret to this brainwashing?):
Quote:
[00:30:40] CCP Zinfandel > Benilopax - A glass eye would be less expensive by far. This complex machinery and nano tech is not only expensive, but Noble Appliances is trying to tap into the lucrative capsuleer market with the latest bling.

Hey CCP, now that we've got clothes that people have to pay for, can you please make all free clothes and hairstyles available on all races?
For a price, sure.
Let's say... 6 PLEX?

Not the point.

Plan B.
1. Drive to Toys R Us (the one that's 20 minutes away) in my SUV.
2. Buy a barbie doll, err... buy an action figure and some doll action figure clothing and maybe some paint.
3. Dress and/or paint my doll action figure.
4. Hold my action f err... doll, no err... action figure in front of my monitor and pretend to walk around in my CQ.
P.S. It's wise to close the door so your spouse doesn't see what you're doing when you're docked.
Hell get some boxes and ducktape and you'd probably do a better job than this little sideshow.

Blame WoW for the prices.
They've been selling virtual teddy bears and ponies for 10-30 bucks now for months (a year even??).
CCP would be insane to not charge an arm and a leg for permanent cosmetic gear, because the market has shown that there are people out there who are willing to pay it.
The market has also shown that compared to 2 people buying it for $80, there might be about a thousand buying it for $2. The very definition of micro transactions, really. And even WOW isn't this poorly priced.

Awesome pricing CCP. Grab all the money these dummies that want to play space barbies have....then use it to figure out a way to give me ship shinning back. thanks
That's like two morons, while a few thousand of us would be glad to fork $1 for some decent gear.
But yeah, ship spinning is priceless.

This thread cracks me up so much....
Now, 18 months later, we've got this. A framework for ÇÇP to display their corporate douchebaggery. Because right now, it's featureless. Hell, it's a fourth of what it should've have been in the first place (four featureless rooms). It's embarrassing, more so for the player base. Embarrassing your customers like this, most of them clearly not interested in walking about, it's moronic. Now I'm left with barely any fun in the last few months due to ever-growing balancing issues, and memories of yet another game that got ran into the ground because of moneygrabbing douchebags.
I did read that devblog, here's what it said:
Quote:
We want to balance the creation and production of such variations and customizability against the actual demand for it.
Hey, guess what. Now there's no demand at all.

u can buy a few games for the cost of a vanity item.
18 months and all we got were some turrets and a room. Listen, I payed some good subscription fees, and CCP made an embarrassing store and rap video. Corporate douchebags.

You seem to be annoyed that CCP isn't charging what you want them to charge for pixels. Sadly no business works that way.
Just annoyed by paying a subscription fee for a game that doesn't really change for 18 months, doesn't get the fixes it actually needs, then ends up being set up as framework for cash grabbing. You're right, it doesn't work that way.

If I could pay $5 for the Caldari Navy's entire 'Spring Collection', I'd actually consider it - and I'm not just talking 'one shirt, one jacket, etc...'.
Maybe. I did actually buy a PLEX for this one, but more for to get whatever they come out with this year. As in, one PLEX should've been enough to buy several complete sets or whatever. But we need not get into the details on how a microtransaction strategy works, CCP obviously doens't get it.

There's like this one metric that CCP is really attuned to. What was it again?

Are we there yet? Or CCP is still hoping the angry mob with pitchforks and torches jus will go away sometime? 
Just wait until Icelandic natives report an unusual amount of job ads showing up.
