It was not in my intention to get involved in this debate but ....
I really cannot see the problem with the aurum. Did someone forced you to buy the damn monocle ? Of course, if CCP will go down the dangerous path of selling ships, better equipment for real money, that would suck and then, they will loose more ppl than now. But the damn clothes and glasses are optional, if you want to buy them, go ahead, otherwise, dont.
It is in a way hilarious that you try to force a company that in the end has to run a business (make money), not to make money, or try to convince them to make money as some players want. It is quite insane.
You do not like the direction of EVE, cancel your subscription. I think it is a mature way of dealing with the problem, not blobbing Jita or as i have heard today, some alliances refuse access to players that already bought the stupid monocle.
Seriously, you have to pay for WOW patches, here you dont, the rest is optional.
Quoting a faceless CCP alt. PS: I find your lack of face disturbing. I'll bet you bought some of those monocles and don't want us to see it.
It isn't about the vanity items, even if they are ridiculously overpriced. I also couldn't care less if you want to spend $68 or $25 or $1000 to look like a tranny online. Have at it. If you want a Scorpion of a different color, go for it. Personally, I don't value my online personality so much that I want to spend real money on make believe pixels. I gladly pay my sub fee so that I can play eve in all its glory.
It's about the loss of trust between the devs and the community, and the degradation of my gaming experience and the game environment that in-game advantages would enable. Having Scorps for nothing but RL cash is bad for the game environment. Thankfully, CCP at least got that part right. But with the recent leaks and broken promise to not introduce MT, I begin to wonder how much more they have in the works, despite what has been said.
I have until July 20th when my current sub expires. I'll keep my eyes and ears open and see where things go. If at that point I'm not satisfied, it'll be another -1 subscription. Straight up and without exception, I don't play p2w games. I did it once. When I quit, it suddenly occurred to me that I had spent hundreds of dollars and had nothing to show for it.

You dont have a supercapital? buy PLEX trade it for ISK, buy supers. Just like any other mmo you can use your RL to pimp your character out (or tank for that matter).
