Greetings fellow space traveler's i noticed alot of people have opinions on here about this and that, and everyone is entitled to there opinion but i want to explain to some people on the butterfly effect that is about to take place.

Lets take an example of a Pithum A type medium shiled booster, it costs around 1billion isk on contracts and it comes from a complex that requires standings of 7.0 with Kalaakiota.. correct me if im wrong on this info.

Now someone spent the time grinding the standings to obtain access to farm such an item to drop, on top of that they have put in much time and effort.

Lets say a module of similar stats is offered on the new micro transaction market with Aurum for a cheaper fee over the 1billion isk, or with slightly better stats for the same price.

This has now put the guys out of business who farmed them to sell on the market, these people will now resort to some other form of income, so they move to tech3 subsystems in wormholes. CCP introduce tech3 subsystems on the market for Aurum. Now you have the people who have setup in a wormhole, there pos and all there silo equipment going out of business, no problem, we will move to another source of income.

On and on it goes until everything on CCP's market is better value for money or better stats over the old method that nobody has anything left to do in eve only go out and pvp, while i for one love pvp first and foremost i do like to have options of doing some mining, the odd plex, indy.

If CCP go ahead and offer non vanity items into eve, it will be its destruction, there is no if's but's or and's... this is 100% a fact, they will ruin the sandbox that us the community have created, shaped and looked after since the start.

Some people do not grasp why non vanity items are such a big issue, they think a moncle costing $65 is more important, or that CQ is lagging there pc or burning there GPU, think outside the box for 2 minutes, these are silly issues that can be fixed over time, the butterfly effect however cannot once it starts, its a domino effect, it will destroy the game entirely..

If i want pure pvp action i will load up battlefield bad company, eve is more then just pvp, you pvp'er's in lowsec, you pvp'er's in 0.0 you, the orphanage in highsec, you all need these people who haul there expensive modules, who mine the ABC's, who create modules and have all the best stuff in jita. this is one big family, and with the butterfly effect you will have a game with less subscribers then age of conan, it will become a deadspace of old school vets who refuse to let go of what truly was an epic game, an epic life.

Do not allow this to happen CCP, i actually feel so emotional right now about the fact this might come because i love eve so much, for me eve is my only hobby and for me i cannot see anything good come from it.
