Ms Freak,
You get my support for a well written and well constructed thread that outlines most, if not all, of the concerns I have seen raised.
+1 This thread needs sticky!
I do like the Walking in Stations and the interaction of CQ. I don't mind the Avatar, as you can customise them to your hearts content. I do draw the line at Consumerism. I wear those $5 jeans, that $10 hoodie... do I care what the world thinks of me? Not one hoot! I find anything to do with fashion abhorrent. It is a market based on exaggerating people's fears and insecurities. So would I buy something from the NeX? Probably not. Though I might think about a custom ship skin... :o)
In reply to the odd post in here about non cosmetic items available from NeX. NO! I am presuming that items available will have bonuses/ability/performance beyond that of items in the game. As such it will produce an imbalance in the game play.
If those items were of the same level of bonus/ability/performance to the items in the game, I can't see a problem, as they would in effect be cosmetic.
In terms of the Dreadnought flying 2 day old player, yes, in effect you can use the existing game mechanisms to buy your way through to being 1337, but that doesn't make you a good pilot, and so your expensive new shiny toy will soon be vapour. If you use a non-game mechanism to purchase the char and his ships, then you are in violation of the EULA, and the full force of CCP should fall down on you, and does when ever they detect it.
I won't emoragequit. I'm quietly watching the events unfold. Yes, the leaked internal documents are a bit harsh, but then we as customers, were not the recipients. It is truth, and I've seen this in plenty of other threads, that companies in rl presume their customer base to be little more advanced than an amoeba on the intelligence scale, but turn a smiley obsequious face to customer whenever they have to face them. Read between the lines of the documents, though, and glean the conveyed content, not how that content was conveyed.
Watch my feet CCP. The moment I feel this game no longer supplies my entertainment needs, I will un-subscribe my rl money subscriptions (sic. plural), and it's pretty close to me walking. Again, CCP, how you handle this, and what you choose to fix will play a big part in my decision.
