Let me start by saying that I don't usually use the forums.
There are many things currently wrong, IMHO, with this particular expansion. Truth be told I could have lived with the current state of CQ, if it wasn't for a sad story of CCP not finishing what they start. Right now, I'm afraid we will end up with a stunted version of CQ that doesn't really deliver on any satisfying level. I don't mind being a guinea pig for WoD. I played Vampire: the Masquerade 12 years ago and enjoyed it. I would give WoD a try.
The problem is there should be no gameplay advantages for sale on EVE. EVER. I can accept vanity items (mind you most of the things aren't worth Ç0.01 - sorry) but the prices should be carefully thought out. Right now I can IRL buy clothes for less than that - maybe, just maybe, the people working on this should have come down to real world before screwing this up that badly.
Secondly, I'm sorry to disappoint you but contents wise, I haven't seen anything in eve that has amazed me in a long time. Heading in the current direction will take away the wonders of the game. I remember going OMG at some of the stuff I saw when I first started. Now new expansion are received with the "what will they break this time". Maybe you haven't been listening to the people who play, maybe you are full of good intentions but lack on the delivering department. Either way, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. After reading all this and watching CCP's attitude towards this whole affair, including the bans, I must say that I doubt the good intentions part.
Maybe it's time for CCP to sober up and start working with basic issues, instead of ignoring people. MMOs are based on the shared vision of players and creators. You want to force a vision on your target audience, you are in the wrong business.
the TLDR of this is:
No gameplay advantages for RL Money;
Stop making excuses, start avoiding them;
Deliver a fixed product and address valid player concerns about many of the mechanics, there are many, and there are people around who've experienced them better than I have.
