I went through different stages of disbelief after the expansion came out.
First I thought :" Greedy sobs. How dare you ask 20 Bucks for a virtual piece of cloth?"
Then I tried to come up with some explanation. Main difference to most other item stores in other games is, that the wares in it can be purchased via the ingame market and currency.
So actually nothing changes. You purchase your plex, exchange it for aurum and then for isk.
Nothing changes for the isk for plex buyer.
Now the items in the noble store can be purchased. Since you have a currency transition inbetween, there is no need for a single player to invest 4 Plexes into one monocle. Actually few will.
You can buy the Noble items on aurum based of plexes of ten or more players, thus creating necessary rarity as the number of incoming plexes and with it aurum is limited.
Having said that I still think prices are too steep and ccp ought have put out an explanation beforehand.
The above is all fine for me. Where it stops is the notion of game changing items in the store.
Wben these come and price relation stays high, then a normal grunt would have to grind too long to get the items. So here one would expect lower rates as the items should not be kept in artificial rarity.
Just one more thing to address, the miner and producers. Well this is fairly easy. Just put bpc in the noble store. Everybody gets their share.
Just think of it as one more Intermediate step for your plex to take. Nothing really changes.
my two cents

And the Blueprints in the NEX store will be 1 RUN REMAINING COPIES, like the LP store and cost you 200 bucks.
You just want to rage don't you. You did not even try to comprehend what I wrote. This might be why ccp does not respond. Anything they say will beturned against them.
Anyhow. There will be way lower rates on consumables. There is no need for artificial rarity here. I could imagine 1000 run per 10 aur. It is just a way to decrease plexes that's all. They are now stockpiled and need to go. And you won't feel a thing. Because they will be traded for isk as ever before. Just consumed more regularly

Until the PLEX start to run dry as people keep breaking them up and use their PLEX for 30 days game time (their true purpose), what if that happens? Your ISK wouldnt buy any AUR, as PLEX is the source.
It may not happen for a while until everybody mass dump's their PLEXs and either it is wasted on AUR OR used as game time OR some EXTERNAL item / event.
Once the SINK for PLEX starts to drain them, and the FAUCET starts to fill SLOWER than the SINK drains, there is a problem, and Eve will start to BLEED dry.
Let's use an a ss anology here, if your a sshole is larger than your food hole, then you got a problem.
And thar is the point where ccp can stabilize on their whim by adjustment of the plex to aur exchange rate. So steady cash flow and plex drain. plus new items. this could be the most painless implementation of an ingane store
