OK So I dropped in at Dodixie, and had a look at the Noble Exchange.
An Eye patch (monocle, whatever you want to tall it) costs 12,000 Aurum. One PLEX gets you 3,500 Aurum.
At current market prices (390m isk PLEX), that means I'll have to spend over 1.3 Bill isk just to slap a piece of metal over my char's right eye.
I am assuming this might.. er.. settle down a bit at some point?
Because atm this is just a right noble rip-off :s

It's a mere 60 DOLLARS, what are you whining about?

This prediction is entirely accurate. There is literally no way this will not happen:
1. Players will login.
2. Players will generally be disappointed by the exceptionally poor quantity and quality of the material released in the expansion.
3. CCP will ignore valid criticism, chosing instead to joke at the expense of people who make ill-thought out rageposts.
4. Some people will unsubscribe, a lot of people will complain, not enough to make a serious impact on CCP.
5. Business as usual.
We are now at stage 3.

And to think ccp could have spent the time making interne spaceships better. Instead we get walking in closets and charged 60$ for half a days artist time.

These should be high-value items. Making them accessible to all just devalues them. If the spotty teenager working at McDonalds has a monocle, why would anyone else want one?
Given the amount of ISK in the game these days, 1 billion ISK makes sense, frankly.

Perhaps you have missed the significance of this the OPs post.
Micro transactions imply small amounts of money. Most games that use micro-transactions won't ask more than 5$ at most for things like these. And that's already cutting it close to being unacceptable. Valves MANN-CO is only as successful as it is because its based around TEAM FORTRESS 2 in which the main reason to look different is because you interact with other people that look exactly the same as you. And even there a different hat is no more than 3 $ at most. Pricing shirts, at around 20 dollars a piece is simply idiotic. Everyone that has a monocle right now will be the laughing stock of EVE because they were gullible and idiotic enough to spend 80 dollars to buy a piece of digital eyeware.
I'd rather pay 2 or 3 dollars more for my monthly subscription then having to see CCP act scrooge MC duck or worse... ACTIVISION!

given how much these items cost in RL money, maybe they're actually intended to be a minor PLEX sink?
People with too much ISK (the kind of people who don't care about a billion more or less) can buy PLEX, convert them to spacegold and buy a monocle/boots/whatever. It seems more likely than someone spending $50 on a virtual space monocle that nobody else can see.
Not that I'm sad about it - the less people actually using the store the better imo. (yes I'm bitter)

If the items had been much cheaper in AUR, a larger percentage of the playerbase would have bought and spent PLEXes. I'm pretty sure that five people cracking open one PLEX each is better for CCP than a single player cracking open four.

What's disturbing is that is where development resources are going instead of fixing problems and creating REAL content. That is why everyone should care about this fiasco.

So what you're saying is... you can either buy any faction battleship of your choosing or dreadnaught or carrier... or you can have a monocle. That sounds like a sweet deal to me!
Look, Just take the ****ING Aurum label off my wallet, I haven't been giving you money for 7 years so you can **** with my game. Put station spinny back to default with Captains Quarters as an optional extra (as you initially promised it)
To be honest I don't give a **** about the Noble Exchange, or the walking about in stations... All I want is the old functionality of MY game back. If you want to add all this fluff go ahead but make them optional.

I'm more annoyed with CCP's inability to take their community communication seriously, especially in situations like these when a vast portion of their customers are voicing legitimate concerns.

I'm not bothered either way about vanity stuff. Its vanity, you want it, pay for it, enjoy it. You dont want it, dont pay for it. Simples.
HOWEVER... What does concern me is that this will have impact on PLEX pricing. Its a market, supply demand.
If (as I expect) it drives plex pricing up (convert plex into Aurum means fewer plex, more demand, higher prices).
Higher plex prices mean people without real world cash/ability to pay for the game have to pay more isk for plex, eventually it becomes impossible for them to play enough to pay to play. So they just cant afford to play.
Which means my mates in corp/alliance even the enemy stop playing.
I hope it works out, but choosing plex to do this was a bad idea IMHO.

you guys have it all wrong, is not about MT is about roleplay
besides, if i get podded i loose my implants, y whouldn't i loose my clothes and/or eyepatches?i mean always considering it form a roleplay pov...

Nah, it doesn't. Making a billion isk, then buying your aurum isn't particularly difficult. It's just not 'ickle newbie' territory.
But surely, part of the point of vanity items is exclusivity? To show that you're so much of a badass, that not only do you pimp your ship, but you pimp your wardrobe too.

TBH this is typical of how CCP now see EVE as a way and means of now milking the playerbase while they sit in their ivory tower looking down on the space game the created while they stroke white fluffy cats.
its fairly obvious that the majority of devs have been told to focus on projects that will generate new sign ups, that vid of hillmar whooping as the sign up figure rises make perfect sense now.
the game i loved to play since day 1 has slowly changed its focus away from providing a fun challenge and worthwhile time sink to the goose that lays golden eggs for its investors and i cant help but feel we are getting the finger from ccp devs who plan future updates and wave the nerfbat, obviously they are now too busy attending confrences and doing important corperate meetings to even play the game they created the fun beership flying ccp staff have now been locked in a box in the basement less they say anything to upset the investors.
but no i will keep my stuffs and continue to play until a viable alternative comes to market, then i will emo quit post and you can ask for my assets.
regarding the MT store, its a joke of pythonesque proportions and atypical of how things are going, but remember its only a store and there is no need to spend your plex's on $60 eyewear, and if you do then your the kind of saps that ccp want in there spaceship game, until the $100 beanie hat that gives you a 10% bonus to tracking appears then i will avoid the MT store and its obvious bullcrap items.

They arent going to be able to lower the prices now - what would they tell the idiots who already bought their pointless eye piece which no 1 else can see. 'Oh yeah sorry about that but thanks for all the $$$$ anyway'
What a load of crap
on a side note - everybody i know in game has turned off CQ already with the exeption of 1 guy who sits in jita all day. Juat wait for the forum war when they take out the option to ignore this crappy patch, then CCP will realise they should have listened to players who have loyaly supported them for so long and shouldnt have pandered to WOW players who wont stay playing eve anyway as its too hard and cutthroat for them. well done CCP you dun flucked up this time duhh

No, not really. Because there's people who'd also choose to fire plex into the system, to capitalize on the higher price, where it's not usually 'worth it'.
And frankly, if you're too short of cash to pay your sub, perhaps you might want to consider your life priorities - playing games really _should_ be taking a lower priority than earning a living.

You're all fools for wanting to convert game time (useful) to vanity items (useless) in the first place whatever the price.
CCP are doing us a favour by pricing them that high - only complete idiots will waste game time now, and if CCP want to exploit those rare idiots - fine by me.

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.

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.

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

How dare CCP not try and make a quick buck out of us all. Haven't you been reading the forums lately? We all love microtransactions and can't wait to buy as many things as possible.
How dare you try and give vanity items some exclusiveness and limit the amount of profit you'll make from MT in the process.
Every single character in game must be able to afford a monocle right now!

I'm honestly not too sure what CCP is trying to achieve with these prices. At first I thought it was a glitch, but your comment makes it obvious that it isn't. CCP seems to have forgotten the lessons learnt from last summer's :18months: ragefest, because the bad PR is already there, along with a few threadnoughts and plenty of players unsubscribing.
I hope CCP make sure that the expansion of CQ to WiS comes quickly, but whatever the case, we'll see by the end of the year if this is CCP's NGE moment, given that the reception of Dust on non-Sony/CCP moderated sites has been lukewarm at best.
I'll leave you this possibly telling quote from the article on the NGE fiasco:
Quote:
At some point someone - your producer, probably, that being his job and all - should have sat everyone down and said "you. can't. do. that." Those 200,000 customers - customers - you blithely dismiss as "dregs" and "weirdos" - are paying your salary. You can't just blow them off for the mythical millions of people looking for a better game.

Well, there goes my subscription I guess. This situation is one of the biggest clusterfudges in CCP history and the community team is cracking jokes about it instead of finding answers or doing damage control. Great work guys.
Well Amaia has a point, this is just the beginning. Eve is turning into a f2p mmorpg with a p2p price tag. Once they start added ships,weapons and even ammo that can not be bought in less you shovel out billions or by buying plexes, you all will begin to wake up.
This is Bullsh!t in my book, you can not expect people to pay twice or even three times when we are already paying for a month sub. Yeah, Eve is one of the best space games running, but they are sinking fast. They need to figure out some way to make up the extra revenue for the decreasing player base.
Eve has around 500 million subscribers and on a good day you are lucky to see 43k online, most of the time Eve doesn't even break 30k. So the only way to make more more money is to pork the players that are left. This is a good way to finish off the 30k that do play regularly. I don't see Eve staying a flow for much longer, I would say Eve won't last till next year. This is a last attempt chance to stay above water and I don't see this working.

Try thinking out of the box, take a look at RL and accept that there are 2 types of EvE (or any game for that matter) player.
1) The younger gamer, student maybe ot between jobs that has lots of time on thier hands, Cash is in short supply do they feed their gaming by playing lots, grinding isk and buying plexes.
Those plexes do not appear out of thin air, they are created by :
2) Older gamer, has a good job that pays good cash. They have cash to spare and already have everything they need in RL. To have this level of comfort requires either a lottery win or work many hours.
I am Gamer 2. I think nothing of buying 12 plexes and selling them to pay for my PvP habit. I dont have the time to grind ISK, i get home from work often late, and just want to log on and blow up some internet spacehips in my very limited available time.
This enables me to play EvE, Play another FotM game/MMO, keep the Mrs happy, spend time with the kids, go out and eat steak every night if i choose and run a mercedes.
I do this because i work hard and deserve to have an easy grind free fun playtime.
I am Damned if some unemployed peasant dictates to me how my gametime is played. When station walking comes into play then so will EvE politics, Alliance discussion will be conducted around a table not IRC, As in RL image will be everything, In RL i wear designer suits to make the right impact, they more than pay for themselves thanks.
EvE will be the same, the more high value wealth you display the more credibility you will have when conducting business or declaring war/peace in the stations.
I think its clear where this game is going, and one other thing, there are not many premium MMO's out there that give you a chance to play without subscription.
I would think about that if i were you before they do decide to go deeply down the F2P route. If they do i dont care how many officer mods give you godmode in PvP, i will be able to afford to buy better.

Perhaps you have missed the significance of this the OPs post.
Micro transactions imply small amounts of money. Most games that use micro-transactions won't ask more than 5$ at most for things like these. And thats cutting it close. Valves MANN-CO is only as successful as it is because its based around TEAM FORTRESS 2 in which the main reason to look different is because you interact with other people that look exactly the same as you. And even there a different hat is no more than 3 $ at most. Pricing shirts, at around 20 dollars a piece is simply idiotic. Everyone that has a monocle right now will be the laughing stock of EVE because they were gullible and idiotic enough to spend 80 dollars to buy a piece of digital eyeware.
I'd rather pay 2 or 3 dollars more for my monthly subscription then having to see CCP act scrooge MC duck or worse... ACTIVISION!

Well this is a bit silly. After sort of just defending the whole Aurum concept in another thread (the one about CEO's banning people who buy stuff). I find myself here. 1 Billion ISK for a piece of eyeware?
Well this is pretty silly. While I'm fine with anyone who wants to spend that kind money on a vanity item.
Rifters go for about 280,000 right? I certainly not going to pay more than that for anything I can't fly. I figured maybe I'd spend 10,000-20,000 ISK on something if it really caught my fancy.
1 Million for a Monocle?

The price of these items sorta makes sense. Sure it isn't for everyone and cost a $hit load in isk. However, CCP has stated for a while they wanted to reign in some of the isk accumulation that occurs. Giving vanity items to the vain accomplishes this. Lets face it, those who play so much and accumulate trillions in isk will spend isk on this to pimp out their avatars thus accomplishing a small part of their goal.
I can see an entire alliance elite and leaders demanding their eye patches from their corps. The narcissistic leaders will raise corp taxes because they need to prove to other alliances they have the isk to just throw away on pointless novelties.

The isk is still in the system though, it's a plex sink not an isk sink.

CCP, I have almost always been a fanboy, always presuming the best of intentions out of you. Rarely have I said anything negative about you and always believed that any mistakes you made would eventually be corrected without needing your players to tell you anything.
But what in the world are you thinking!?!? Sure, I can understand the monocle if you want to make it an exclusive item, owned only be the richest players in EVE. But everything else? Each item costs at least half of a PLEX! A shirt in the noble exchange costs as much as a shirt in real life - except in real life the shirt has an actual tradeable value, whereas in EVE CCP claims all virtual property for themselves. This *MIGHT* be acceptable if once you purchased an item, it was purchased forever. But this is not the case - you lose the shirt you bought if you get podded.
Here are your choices, CCP:
1) Cut prices by an order of magnitude AT LEAST. That means divide it all by 10. This way players won't mind losing the shirt off their back when they get podded and would be willing to buy again.
2) Clothing purchased is permanently available for character recustimization.
3) Change the noble exchange from buying clothing, to buying BPOs for said clothing.
^ Pick one of those options, CCP. I myself would prefer it if you picked #1.

Something I think CCP should look again at, is the prices in ISK they are hoping to use for Dust stuff, in comparison to PLEX prices and then versus the number of AURum value per plex.
It doesn't take an economist with a degree to see a fewkin big imbalance between things.
Now, I do realise the numbers in that video were just plucked out of thin air, but they did seem to make a kind of sense. With the current conversion rate between AUR and PLEX, tho, I dont think many folks will want to shell out for the CESTUS command ship, given the dusties will likely lose 1 per battle if on the losing team.
I think out of all the figures, the exchange rate between PLEX and AURum will need to be looked at again.
ISK prices for DUST vehicles and equipment that we know about so far, which did made some kind of sense - source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxLJ20oYZGM
Infantry Assault Armor 'AEGIS' = 375,000 ISK
RDV Drone 'Bolas' (Dropship) = 4,400,000 ISK
Heavy Attack Vehicle 'GUNNLOGI' (Tank) = 1,400,000 ISK
Installation Component 'Phase-Synched Railgun' = 1,000,000 ISK
Mobile Command Centre 'CESTUS' (Battlefield Command Ship) = 120,000,000 ISK

Eve has around 500 million subscribers and on a good day you are lucky to see 43k online, most of the time Eve doesn't even break 30k.

I don't see Eve staying a flow for much longer, I would say Eve won't last till next year. This is a last attempt chance to stay above water and I don't see this working.
It is 500 thousand, not million. The term subscribers means active (paying) subscriptions, not registered accounts or something. That makes your whole argument pointless.

Had the discussion with a friend.
Basicly you have a very small group of players a max 100 that make 1 bil a day.
They could easily buy these luxury items.
So if the goal is to make endgame items I believe this has been achieved with a bil. isk clothing.
However as an overall business model I don't believe in it. There are far to few customers with this pricing that would participate.
Only time will tell however.

Honestly i think that CCP just made it again just trolled all the whiners and complainers and made them even cry harder.
Sooo everyone it's crying because MT it's gonna kill the game , that MT it's an absurd way to make money and CCP only care for money and moar moneyz and that's all.
then CCP listen to them and add a superb MT that no one in their right mind it's gonna use with an absurd price, and all the previous ppl now CRY HARDER because that price it's absurd and they can't afford it.
Brilliant CCP you sir made a Brilliant move
/Hat off
P.S: i think CCP screwed the Aur price and just added a 0 to all items

Try thinking out of the box, take a look at RL and accept that there are 2 types of EvE (or any game for that matter) player.
1) The younger gamer, student maybe ot between jobs that has lots of time on thier hands, Cash is in short supply do they feed their gaming by playing lots, grinding isk and buying plexes.
Those plexes do not appear out of thin air, they are created by :
2) Older gamer, has a good job that pays good cash. They have cash to spare and already have everything they need in RL. To have this level of comfort requires either a lottery win or work many hours.
I am Gamer 2. I think nothing of buying 12 plexes and selling them to pay for my PvP habit. I dont have the time to grind ISK, i get home from work often late, and just want to log on and blow up some internet spacehips in my very limited available time.
This enables me to play EvE, Play another FotM game/MMO, keep the Mrs happy, spend time with the kids, go out and eat steak every night if i choose and run a mercedes.
I do this because i work hard and deserve to have an easy grind free fun playtime.
I am Damned if some unemployed peasant dictates to me how my gametime is played. When station walking comes into play then so will EvE politics, Alliance discussion will be conducted around a table not IRC, As in RL image will be everything, In RL i wear designer suits to make the right impact, they more than pay for themselves thanks.
EvE will be the same, the more high value wealth you display the more credibility you will have when conducting business or declaring war/peace in the stations.
I think its clear where this game is going, and one other thing, there are not many premium MMO's out there that give you a chance to play without subscription.
I would think about that if i were you before they do decide to go deeply down the F2P route. If they do i dont care how many officer mods give you godmode in PvP, i will be able to afford to buy better.
3) Older gamer, has a reasonably paid job, doesn't buy plex because he enjoys the challenge of in-game trading and thinks "blowing up internet spaceships" is more fun with an element of risk, never bought a designer suit in his life, thinks you're a bit of a tit.

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?
Oh there's no real harm in it, but it is hilariously stupid in terms of its stated goals.
I personally dont care if they charge an octillion ISK for an e-sock, because I'm not buying any of it anyway. But it is still amusing to see people yelling I DONT WANT TO BUY ANY MT ITEMS, ALSO THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!
If you're not buying one anyway, why do you care how much they are? I assume everyone that's raging about the price was intending to buy MT items?

Someone...make that several someones have missed the idea behind microtransactions. They are supposed to be a pittance, small enough that players can just shrug and buy something 'because why not.' A capital ship is not in that category. Neither is sixty dollars. Sixty dollars is, in fact, enough to buy a completely different, brand new A-list game. A monocle for a single-player captain's quarters experience, or an entire other new-release game. A game that just might have a full range of character customization options without an attempted price gouge. A game made by developers who are slightly less blatant in their attempts to attach a suction pump to their players' wallets.

Isn't this having the desired effect? A monocle is going to be an item only the super rich have. It's not something a normal joe can buy.
Therefore anyone with a monocle (presumably this monacle will show on the forums too?) will be showing off, and some people will fawn and be envious.
Just like IRL with someone having a ú10,000 Rolex watch.
Some will care, most will just say "meh", but life will still go on.

Gawd where to start.
First, to Guard and CCP in general, wake up. Being flippant in the face of genuine anger isn't helpful. You might not have wanted to spit in our face but that was the effect. I am of the opinion you're just not getting how PO'ed everyone really is atm on multiple levels.
The thing that bothers me the most is the total lack intelligent thought that seems to have gone into this whole process. Incarna has been Years in the making and to so totally flub it from day one is just inexcusable. It alludes to an institutional wide break down in good judgement and consideration.
Can you genuinely tell me that not one CCP staffer brought up the point that a monocle cost's more than any faction BS, even the pirate one's ? If no one did then we the player base have to genuinely ask, do any of you play the game any more ? If you don't then we need to ask ourselves why we should consume a product that the makers don't use themselves ? If you do play they how can you begin to justify in an intelligent way the exchange rate you set ? This speaks to a total lack of good judgment and planning.
What is the use in expending years of time and resources to roll out a feature that few wanted and with these prices almost no one will bother to use.
I just can not begin to comprehend how you could have borked this any worse than what you did. Unless two zero's get added to the conversion rate in the next 24 hours then i'm resigned to believe that you set out to screw us from day one and all you're PR to the contrary the proof is there for all to see.
An expansion no one participates in is a failed effort and they way you rolled this out I'd be stunned to see anyone partake in this blatant rip off.

In very poor form, sir. I realize you must be upset at all the rage on the forums today, but this is not the proper venue for venting. And venting at the people who pay you your salary is NOT a good idea.

Charge whatever you want for the items, eventually you will learn to do proper price/volume optimization. I suspect the first step in this new process for CCP will involve realizing that at :50bux: you will not sell a lot of vanity items. I wonder how many CCP employees that play the game went for these...
That said, and out of respect for the very world you guys created, please remove all ties between Aurum and in game isk/plex/whatever since it is seriously immersion breaking and is not really the smart thing to do.

You people are looking at this the wrong way. One of my favorite things about EvE is that, in New Eden, idiots are a harvestable resource. Rich idiots are the best; I look at them like a miner looks at arkanor. The great thing about monocles is that they allow the over-funded to edit their portraits to display to all the world that they have more money than sense, which should make choosing a target that much easier.
CCP: I would greatly appreciate a wider selection of more affordable clothing, but please keep monocles stupidly expensive.

you guys have it all wrong, is not about MT is about roleplay
besides, if i get podded i loose my implants, y whouldn't i loose my clothes and/or eyepatches?i mean always considering it form a roleplay pov...
I may [may] buy the line about role play. But clothing goes onto my body, not into it. Not being an implant, I need to worry about quality of function much less. So tell me why fake articles of clothing [that are really records in the database that get rendered on your screen] cost as much as a real clothing IRL ??? Keep your role play, and I'll keep my cash.

I was searching the meaning of this new option in EVE and found out that there is more on the table than one or two description/tutorial 
Well, first I was very excited about newish interface. When I saw this "Noble Exchange" I thought that CCP came up with a fantastic idea: selling real Life shirts, dresses, boots etc. for "PLEX, ISK, AUR...". I will not lie, I wanted to buy those boots. They would look very nice on me at the beginning of a cool winter. But then came dissapointment Reading this post I have realized that those nice things are only affordable in game and only on your character. Too much for virtual suite or else. 100 million or similar amount would be OK, but billions  .... On the other hand, I agree with this:
Originally by: Nina Dakatt
...This enables me to play EvE, Play another FotM game/MMO, keep the Mrs happy, spend time with the kids, go out and eat steak every night if i choose and run a mercedes.
I do this because i work hard and deserve to have an easy grind free fun playtime.
...When station walking comes into play then so will EvE politics, Alliance discussion will be conducted around a table not IRC, As in RL image will be everything, In RL i wear designer suits to make the right impact, they more than pay for themselves thanks....
There are people who have money for throwing away and CCP saw this as opportunity for making money: "Sheeps are there for shearing". All of you friends know this or if you dont, you will learn it sooner or later. But Nina, I assume that a lot of people who play EVE, work as hard as you, but they are not paid as you to buy mercedes or eat steak every night. This way I understand "rage" or "disatisfaction" of the friends here on forum.
I appeal to CCP staff to reconsider this option to a Real Life buying option and I assure them that I will be the first who will buy those leather boots
Thanks and cheers

This doesn't even make sense from a role play perspective.
If you're stinking rich you own dreadnaughts, super carriers, titans... not monocles. A freaking monocle that costs as much as a capital freaking space ship? Role play your way through that one. Oh I know... this monocle is made of carriers that have been compressed by a black hole into space-diamonds.
This doesn't make sense as an ISK sink. Because they don't remove ISK from the game at any point. They remove PLEX.
Clothes should have been items purchasable with ISK, 100,000 ISK for the most expensive items. Or just added to the customization window free of charge. Because we pay a subscription to play this game. I really don't care about virtual clothes. I am not butt-hurt because I can not afford them. I just think if you're going to release an expansion, make it a fully featured one, not an absurd cash-grab. I used to really admire CCP as a company that has stood by its flagship product, constantly improving it. You seemed to be a company that really cared about its IP, something that seems more and more rare these days. Now I don't know what to think. As it is now, this just makes EVE and CCP kind of a joke. But if this is CCP's new direction and will work its way throughout the game, then I can't see myself sticking around.

You should be bloody ashamed - and I say that because making some joke or "pun" quite honestly at this point is adding insult to injury - and from a CCP representative I would have expected something a little more professional.

Yesterday I thought the same thing. 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. What's disturbing is that is where development resources are going instead of fixing problems and creating REAL content. That is why everyone should care about this fiasco. It's CCP giving a big FU to its own playerbase.
This. **** you CCP.

i would have started a riot if i thought it would have helped anything. my "patience" is me not doing anything because i know i won't have a positive effect on anything. I am a very impatient person.
thank me for not caring enough to unsub. thankfully you left the space part of this space MMO intact so i can ignore this part until you manage to do something.
and seriously, i don't like the witty comments you guys make when everyone is furious at you. "u mad bro?" is not what i want to hear from my devs.

Hopefully it doesn't bite you in the ass too hard, but seriously, next time, don't joke at least until a couple of pages in and you can see the OMGWTFNERDRAGE clearly (especially after a CCP announcement/expansion because that's when it happens). Thank you though for your second comment and I do look forward to hearing CCP's response to the issue, hopefully soon-ish.

24 hours into the rage and CCP's answer is...
(...)
With likely intent to add the further comment:
(...)
And just a few days ago I was asking people to give thanks to CCP employees surfing these forums. Feeling stoopid now. Specially since yesterday I entered game and about half an hour later I noticed I was on the verge of turning off CQ, as I am not using it for anything and it is distracting to have it blinking and moving amidst the interface windows I actually use for playing... I am feeling so stoopid and appalled...

There is a solution. It's only a few clicks away.
Do you -really- want to be associated with this game any longer?
As an aside, I thought the in the eye of the beholder quote was funny. It was a little... short-sighted. Perhaps a little blind.

Dude, I am not quitting. I am just dismissing about the CQ and the whole Incarna stuff as I wanted to play Space Barbies each now and then, but can't afford to spend three months of gameplay into a bloody skirt.
I am very disappointed as I had great expectations from Sisi testing, and reality has hit me hard. Also don't feel very comfy playing the utterly deranged game who created virtual items more expensive than their actual counterparts. I hope this doesn't makes into any general news network, would be embarrassing to enter the public eye this way...

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.
Your wordplay wasn't the issue, I found it amusing. I think the problem was that your post was nothing but that wordplay. When the forums are blazing this badly, no joke is going to be taken all that well. You'd have been better off just switching the order of your posts.

Confirming CCP are spending the monacle isk on people spinning. Didn't you know? Ship spinning was far more fun. Screw this "people spinning" and fix the game dammit!

it's a goddamn vanity item, really what are you whining about, show me a picture of some ccp with a gun to your head, forcing you to shell out the 60$ for it.
think of it this way, look at high end jewelry the stuff that costs millions, now look at a simple sports car, the car (eve ship) cost 100k, the jewelry costs 2.4 million, the jewelry does get you from A to B, it does allow you to transport your kids to school and home, yet those who can afford it, do so to flaunt their wealth, the eye piece is EXACTLY the same concept.

Jesus badgergargling Christ, people. If you can't grow your own sense of humour, then buy one off eBay.
Get over yourselves you pack of screaming pompous brats. I agree with the general point that NeX goods are far too expensive, but I'm going to have to spend days washing the reek of your collective sense of entitlement out of my clothes and hair.
********s the lot of you.

Economics isn't your strongest point, is it?
People at CCP get payed by our subscription money (indirectly) and either work on new features we desire and need, or they work on the monstrosity that is MT.
A lot of resources and thus player subscription money wend into expanding the game into an area there was no player demand for.
This leaves us with a choice of stop player *their* game, instead of *our game*, or suck it up and pay for stuff we do not really want.
Read this in the context of years of feedback by the community being mostly ignored and you can see where the rage comes from.
Your argument/logic is one of, its optional, you don't have to buy it.
Well, that is sadly untrue, we already paid for it in advance!
How does that translate to how you treat your customers.
What service is CCP actually providing we wanted?

I know you're trollin but I'm just going to point out that both sparkle-pony and derp-lion were/are cheaper than this monocle (I could buy both of them for less if I remember) AND actually did something in the game. You could ride them around like any other mount.
The monocle is more than sparkle-pony and does nothing.
