There are indications that CCP would like to break free of the vanity items model for microtransactions prevalent in the MMO industry. CCP prides itself on being a trendsetter.
I think everyone agrees that microtransactions must fit seamlessly into the EVE economy, that they must not compete with the EVE market.
How to do this?
Implement Aurum in a manner similar to Loyalty Points. I feel this would be a perfectly acceptable solution, that serves both the purposes of CCP and the playerbase.
How would it work? Like Loyalty Point purchases, you trade some amount of in-game item, plus Loyalty Points and receive a slightly better item in return. In the case of the microtransaction, replace Loyalty Points with Aurum.
Vote YES if you support this extension of microtransactions in the game.
Vote NO if you do support this extension of microtransactions.

if the items available through micro-transactions do eventually become character enhancing or stuff like noble ammo etc. (which will be a bad bad day), this would somewhat limit the abuse of the system (abuse by taking advantage of the size of a player's own personal real-life wallet) (one would thing at first) as they would still have to do some in-game grinding. i.e. players simply don't use their credit card to get an advantage over other players.
However, the fact that we have PLEX's and a player can simply buy isk with their credit card and then use that isk combined with their credit card again to get aurum... it wouldn't work.
perhaps i've mis-understood something? I'm not sure.
But either way, I don't like the idea of having any items available by micro-transactions other than vanity items and PLEXs for isk.
In the case that CCP sticks with vanity/cosmetic items (and plexes for isk) ONLY; this proposal would perhaps make said vanity items like the infamous monocle more affordable?
I imagine people like the fact that having a monocle as somewhat a rarity is good thing. Kind of like titans when there were only a few on the server.. (and now everyone has them  )
