People that say the micro transactions have to be removed completely are not going to get their way.. The system is in the game, CCP is making money off of it, now its here its not going to be removed.
HOWEVER!
The biggest concern of the EVE community has always been that Microtransactions would influence gameplay with ship and item sales for AUR. THAT worry is now (unlike before) adressed by a dev. By telling us NO GOLDEN AMMO WILL EVER BE SOLD, CCP has made that promise. Further details of course are still pending.
And be honest
Selling fluff items or custom ship paints should be fine as long as the prices are reasonable. (And not as generally expensive as it is right now.)
Now... ("knacks knuckles") about those optional captains quarters and hangar views --------------------------------------------- Somewhere beyond happyness and sadness, I need to calculate what creates my own madness o/

There is no merger between CCP and Sony, this has been confirmed. CCP will not Sell NON-Vanity items, Read the latest blog AGAIN.
Overall made up speculative bull**** all round.
Wait till the CSM summit is done and listen to what they have to say. --------------------------------------------- Somewhere beyond happyness and sadness, I need to calculate what creates my own madness o/

On a more specific note regarding the AUR pricing,
CCP tried to establish a anchor item. Its something normal stores also do. Provide an expensive item along with the launch of a new chain of products. When then later that product go's into say a 50% off sale, people will think its cheap, because its only half its initial price. (psychology).
CCP made 2 mistakes howevers.
1. They tried to made EVERY item in the NeX store an anchor item. 2. Because (apart from the monocle) all the other items in the NeX store are things we recognize from our every day lives stores, and the virtual goods are actually more expensive than their real world counterparts, they can never become proper anchor items.
In effect, the trick didn't work, and it had the exact opposite effect.
Had CCP made the T-shirts and Pants more reasonably priced say (3 or 4 dollars) they might have gotten away with their monocle. --------------------------------------------- Somewhere beyond happyness and sadness, I need to calculate what creates my own madness o/
