I too am feeling disillusioned. I so wanted to believe that the people at CCP were proud of what they had built, and that that pride would translate into a focus on making their game even better. By better, I mean focusing on the many, many little and not so little areas of the game that are broken or otherwise not working as they should.
I've been puzzled at how little progress has been done in this area. Now it all becomes clear.
CCP has been investing the vast majority of its dev resources into WIS so that they can introduce micro-transactions as an income stream. It also explains why the CQ was (is?) going to be mandatory: quite simply, to support this new income stream. After all, if you don't use CQ you can't be tempted to use the store. So the answer is simple. Make it mandatory.
Why does CCP want/need this new income stream? Simply put, they are overextended in trying to develop and launch 2 other games. Sad, but predicable in hindsight.
Micro-transactions in free to play games works. That's been demonstrated. Micro-transactions in a pay to play game that is a sandbox environment like EVE.... I don't know, and because CCP seems dedicated to moving forward with selling anything and everything in this new store, I guess only time will tell.

Edited by: RaShaad Wraith on 02/07/2011 08:05:33 If CCP keeps the microtransactions to character clothing etc then there is no problems, how ever if ccp makes it possable for people to purchase ships, guns, ammo, and other such items then EvE is going to die. The real question here is - Would CCP actually do that? After 4 years of playing this game, I (for now) will give CCP the benefit of the doubt. |

Now I do not mind if CCP needs to find more funds for developing the clothing vanity items and I have no issue with it except one.
When looking at other games free to play or other wise you can purchase quite a few items (special ones at that) for about 15 - 20 Euros. But CCP expects us to pay for 1 bit of clothing for 1 plex (19.99 Euro) or the Eye Implant at 4 Plex 79.96 Euros ?
Guys come on think with your heads screwed on please. I know a premium rate item can be worth 1 Plex but not 4, its like trying to rob us. I would happly pay for 1 Plex and use 3-4 bits of clothing would be worth it.
But I do agree with players, selling special ammo or ship equipment that give an upper edge is wrong. We pay a monthly subscription damn it, its not a free to play game!
Leave it out if you cannot get it right. The other way is have the clothing manufactured by players in EVE using planets and stuff but make sure they are expensive and hard to make. People will then happliy pay for Plex in order to sell to get the ISK to buy the clothes like they do with ships and other items.
enough said.

Thing is you already could pay ships for moeny.... in this way. Buy a Pelx with money -> sell the PLEX for ISK -> buy a ship for ISK. I'm fine with this, but some peeps seem to forget that little fact.
PS: Peeps please read the new announcement from CCP

you might be able to sell a plex and buy a ship. But someone had to put that ship on the market. Someone had to gather the resources, construct it, and list it.

I still keep hearing this in response.
IT DOES NOT MATTER! Someone is able to buy an advantage in the game with real money. Period. It does not matter how else that plays out in the game. THAT person is getting an advantage.
