I have to say that you are all forgetting what and who the new currency is for, Dust 514 players. We're only getting so CCP can play it fair for their current fanbase and I imagine they how we might use it to buy dust players services. Besides you cannot expect any company to standby and watch rivals make huge profits off micro payments and not want in on it. The biggest thing is this though, if you don't like it don't use it. For if you do this its only a matter of time till the drop it, no ne forks out time, money and other resources to maintain and manage a redundent feature. Espically one made redundent by its own player base. Untimately though if the items confer no ingame benifits for those that buy them, then the game is still kept intact. we should only kivk up a fuss it this system begins to give players an unfair advantage.
For me personally I want to fools to buy a pixel shirt for a months subcription fee that way (I hope) we, the sensible Eve player base, will reap the rewards of new useful additions. Like better AI, more ships and fittings along with bigger and better expantions overall and hopefull the inclusion of more variety for the character creator. Paid for with this new currancy. It will also allow people out there a second consumer group to sell their PLEX's too. I for one thought the PLEX system enriched the game, overall and for me(personally running 2/4 of my acounts with PLEX). So anything that keeps that market healthy is a good thing in my eyes.
I also hope you remeber that at the moment there too few money sinks in the economy at large. This is a huge sink potentially and if it works may help to balance the books on that matter and thus aid in new players progressing more easily without, potientailly, in future needing to grind for that next ship and fittings. Which I had to do and it made me quit afterwards for three months before I felt the urge to make the next push.
This change I believe will bring in, with a bit of time, more players than CCP stand to loose from this change of attitude towards the game as a whole. I welcome it, the game feels more dynamic for it and it lets me know that CCP plan to keep growing so it can be around today, tommorow and another 10 years from now. Thats what I want. Thats what I look for. So I shall support this for it is is. Change. For witout it no one can survive for long.
