Its really easy. Dont buy it. No one is forcing you to spend 70 bucks on a VANITY ITEM with NO game function whatsoever. lol. The stupidity here is simply astonishing.
Besides you will be back and resbubbing in a matter of weeks, buying clothes to RP your huge bewbs with in game.
Instead of jumping on the band wagon because you are simply that bored, or just because you think its cool, why dont you go outside for a while or go sleep it off to clear your head.

Originally by: Wacktopia I think it is fair to compare it to DLC. The $25 mounts from WoW are somewhat more significant than the monocle because they a) actually do something b) are a lot more 'significant' than a piece of eyewear.
Tbh even I, with my massive scepticism of MT in EVE, would probably spend $2.50 for a monocle for lols. And that's saying a lot.
Aion prices:
Pet: $6.00 Weapon skin: $7.00 (compare ship paintjob) Whole clothes set: $5.00 Sunglasses pack: $3.50 Full character remake: $7.00 (compare bloodline change)
These feel more like "normal" prices. Not just one skirt for $15.00; a whole clothes set (shirt, pants, shoes, jacket) would be like $60.00, which is slightly .. "overpriced".

Yeah you say that now... but how about CCP bring in T4 ships and say "hey you can buy them in the shop and btw that's the only place you can buy them".
Yeah they said "vanity only" but nothing is binding them to that. They could easily change. This $70 monocle farce has proved their standing to the player base tbh.
Don't lose sight of that fact... this 'do no evil' speech is nothing new.

> theyÆre probably better classed as 'macro-transactions'.
True - nothing "micro" in 60 bucks monocle price. Hilarious news headers all around - bravo, CCP!
I think prices will be lowered later with or without compensations for early adopters in form of ISK.

Well, as far as conspiracy theories go, it's a good way to make sure that only a few people buy the items so you can make sure they're working as intended :P

The great thing about these reports is that game companies tend not give a crap about what players say on the forums, its when well known and respected gaming review and news sites start taking the ****, you know you are in trouble.

How many can see the writing on the wall?
Remember how many SOE had in their pocket, but even then they couldn't save them with NGE. They read the storm clouds and told them heck, yer screwed and wrote what mattered.

It wasn't hard to predict. I was stunned with some disbelieve in those faithful few minutes of bliss when walking around in my room. First thing I did was seeing if I could walk around naked (which you should be able to in your private chambers, and my CC says my mind should be able to handle it), then I had a look at the store. I quickly hit the forums, saw the help channel referred to, and after seeing some ridiculous RP make believe from CCP employees themselves, and no answers on whether these prices are intended, I knew. Then I tipped Kotaku, RPS, Massivly and the Escapist.

Originally by: Ioci These guys are all bought and paid for with Adverts. It just tells me CCP haven't advertised with them.
Back when Evony first came on the scene, they had cash stores that would make you puke but they also had an Advertisement campaign that ran deep and nobody said **** about thier over priced very disposeable items store.
When EVE C-Store sells 15 minute SP speed ups for $5.00 they will be on Evony level. When CCO throw the Advert money around Evony did, we won't hear about it.
wait a minutue are you kidding me?
eve was PC game of the year, and was on the front cover
rock paper shotgun had a exclusive rights to stream fanfest content 3 years ago before ccp itself streamed it
kotaku has been one of the driving forces behind dust and at once point had a full screen eve background
eurogamer had 1st access to walking in stations, with screenshots never even released on the eve-o site
Also it's not about the prces. It the fact they never told us WHY. and more so that they lied to the CSM just a month before it went live.
SO ON

Just as stupid as not realizing that this 'Item Shop' is going to some day offer 'gold ammunition' and ships which players can buy with RL cash. Anyone who doesn't realize the damage this will do to Eve is completely and utterly ******ed.
Going along with this stupid money grubbing change implemented, like some stupid herp derp lamb without a brain is totally hilarious. Good work people. Maybe next time CCP takes a crap in the next patch too the mindless followers will thank CCP for giving them precious gems and gold to play with. ----------------------------------------------- One stupid item in a 'pay to play' game shouldn't cost 5 months worth of playtime to buy in an item shop! |
