I just hope straining my eyes at the looking at the pixelated image as I stutter about frame by frame inside my roach motel doesn't actually cause me to need glasses... cos for **** sake if that's the price of a monocle they better open up a branch of specsavers in jita quick!

And you think it's strange with these kind of comments that some of your paying customers go on a personal tour?

Well, in my opinion eve is such a great game and with the PLEX-System players can play for free. If that helps that they get more money out of eve online im happy. Like i said its such a great game and it deserves money to improve it :D Yeah, im a bit disappointed that the cloths are so overpriced but if it generates more money than cheap ones, why not?

Why not ? Because it's not even generating the money it could. I may have bought a PLEX if one allowed me to afford a hundred pieces of clothing, but here I'm just blocked: I have to buy several ones to get the things I may be interested in. It doesn't generate money, and it shows us how poor we are IRL and ingame :D

They still get the same amount of money from PLEX if you pay for it with isk. It's just someone else fronting up the RL cash.
The only way a PLEX can be seeded onto the market is when someone buys a 60 Game time code from CCP or one of their licensed partners for real money and then splits it up into 2 x 30 day PLEX. So if they have 500,000 accounts it doesn't matter if half of them are paying with plex, because the other half are buying the PLEX with real money and selling it in game... so the same number of accounts are being paid for at full price.
This Aurum is a way for them to remove plex from the game one at a time. as you dissolve your PLEX into vanity items they get more money. because a Monocle is worth a quarter of a whole year in game.

Then I slept on it and decided that we should care because in its current state MT EXCLUDES a vast majority of players even if they WANTED to do it.
These items are status symbols. A status symbol that is accessible to all is an oxymoron. By definition, they must not be available to the vast majority of players.
These items are only status symbols because they cost so fcking much, duh
cool circular logic bro - they are status symbols because they are so expensive, and they are so expensive because they are status symbols

I mean is trolling a bunch of your ****ed off customers a good idea? I don't really care since I am never in stations but between this and the other bizdev talking about how we should pay a lot because a monocle "is going in your head" it seems like you guys have dropped a level professionally.

Seriously guys, lay off the personal attacks and make do with constructive criticism of policy and mechanics. We'll listen to that. Not to this.
What's constructive about your earlier post then Guard? I'd call it inciting at least.

I have to say Im flabbergasted at the cost.
How a cosmetic add on can cost more than a spaceship you have to admit is a massive error on CCP's part.
If you are going to have things like this in game at least make them priced realistically.

Isn't it more fair to say that the high price discourages RMT, since anyone foolish enough to spend real money on these items is their own tool?
Seems to me that these are for the in-game wealthy, as a bit of a trophy for how much isk they have. Stops the regular joe from wasting his RL paycheck, unless he's just a tard.
1.3bil for a completely indestructable, USELESS vanity item? Yeah, where's the harm in that?

Well we all helped them develop this by paying our subscription (or buying a plex whatever) and now they tell us we should not benefit from the new changes unless we pay more. If the prices had been declared BEFORE the patch, maybe it would have been accepted, but I feel a bit cheated. It won't prevent me to play, but it's still a bit strange to see how our money is spent :D

Lol at prices of vanity items. When they come up to sell a concord-god-mode frigate, you will have to sell your car (and not an old one) and maybe your house for.
That is the right way to introduce MICROtransactions.

Look up "vanity items" and "pointless" in a book somewhere, compare.

Chill out people, no one is forcing you to buy them.
Just give it a few months and they will cost $0.60 and then you can buy them.
I'm more concerned with my graphic card overheating from running CQ than a few hilariously-overpriced pixels.

"It's all in the eye of the beholder."
after seeing this attitude time and time again i cancelled both my accounts and have been running them on the isk i had in my wallet at the time of cancellation. when that runs out i'm gone
and after logging in finally yesterday and seeing the crap fest that is this expansion, i've never been happier with that decision.

Guys, I didn't mean to offend with my little wordplay there. Sorry if I did. A more serious reply to your concerns and questions regarding pricing of virtual goods is coming. The workday started not long ago over here and most of us were up late monitoring initial reactions and spinning our dudes in CQ. We are piecing together the different opinions and we'll do our best to address all of them.
Thank you all for your patience.
