A little late to the party but w/e...
Just read the devblog and, wow, any player without any inside knowledge or decision-making competency could probably have written a better one.
None of the concerns are addressed adequately.
(a) Seriously, how out of touch can you be to start rambling about 1,000$ designer jeans? Is that the audience you are aiming at?
3,000$/year golf players with Japanese designer jeans?
I thought Zinfandels "you wouldn't want to put cheap stuff into your eyes" comments were just lolRP but it seems the company in general has lost the ability to distinguish between RL and in-game values.
(b) There was one yellow question we wanted an answer for.
We want some certainty on the strategic future of EVE, we want an answer that we can rely on at least for the next 24 months.
CCP Pann ignored our questions, CCP Zulu evades our questions - when will Hilmar stand up and give us insight on the strategic direction CCP is headed towards?
.... because we are not just some summer***s, we are planning for years and investing a lot of time, love and money into this game.
You have created a wonderful game that heavily rewards and depends on long-term planning from the side of the players - I don't think I have a character with an EVEMon plan <1 year at the moment - but in return for investing years to do what in other games can be done within 1-2 weeks of grinding we need some planning dependability. How hard is that to understand?
Explain to us your reasoning and plans or you leave us no choice but to assume the worst.

I wonder if the thing you learn about community management by watching Jurassic Park is to just ignore the raptors...

Im a bit pussled at what ppl are complaining about ....
Is it that he monockle is too expensive ?
Is it that you can buy it with real money ?
Is it that someone spent valueable devtime making it and not doing something more worthy ?
I see some arguements about not liking ppl that buy items with Real life cash, but to be honest, you can perfectly well do that today.
Some Killboards are actually putting the $, ú and Ç prices below the ISK value of the loss.
You can get a fully fitted Titan for less than 200 plex, A BS for 1 plex, Faction / deadspace fitted Marauder for like 6 Plex, and a Monockle for 4 ...
Whats the problem ?
player-driven economy vs MT store
CCP spent the last few years reducing the impact of NPC buy and sell orders on the economy - now they're rolling this back.
And the ability to buy a Titan for 200 PLEX is different from CCP reducing the number of ship fittings I can store in the client to 50 only to sell me an upgrade for AUR later on...

"golden ammo", "improved Raven Mk II"
that's still a long time down the line
If I were CCP my first unique ship BPC sold in the NeX would be the Tornado, possibly even in limited quantity.
That's much less controversial than a direct upgrade to an existing ship and they know that some of their customers have been waiting for that ship a long time now.

That says 'Don't have plans to', not 'Will never happen'.
Plans change, especially over the course of a year.
tbh in one of the later replies in that thread he got pushed into saying that CCP "will not" change its business model.
