You can't blame CCP for wanting to make more money than they do now. You can only MAYBE blame them for doing it in a way that feels "wrong" to you. So you guys hate the idea of "pay to win", or in other words, any items that could potentially give an advantage. Even if it's NOT a big deal as long as handled carefully. Fine. Be that way. Why not. It's afterall what we were used to from the start of this game. If somehow miraculously, the playerbase would have spoken and CCP listened carefully... NOW WHAT ? CCP still needs to make those PLEX vanish, and if they also get some extra cash along the way, hooray them.
Let's say that CCP ends up "agreeing" with you that advantage-granting items and services should never be released. So, no "+5% stats" items, no AUR cerebral boosters, no AUR for remaps, no AUR for SP reallocation, no AUR for standings corrections, and so on and so forth a big no to a lot of items or services. In other words, none of the stuff quite a few people would be itching to buy - but would hate it if their opponents would do the same - would ever be for sale for AUR.
That leaves us with a problem. Low sales.
As a couple of people over in MD point out (Linkage1, Linkage2), at least at this point in time the NEX offers are mainly targeted at the ISK-rich people (who are supposed to want to buy PLEX and smash them into AUR - which would take at least partial care of CCP's "excess PLEX stockpiles" problem), but the real problem is, there's not much in there that an ISK-rich person would WANT to bother to get... not in any significant amounts anyway. Yes, RL-cash-rich people will also buy stuff from the NEX, but it doesn't help CCP's target of reducing existing PLEX counts.
Sure, you can always introduce a wide variety of cheap-ass clothing and other character customization options (they're going to be doing that anyway), you could introduce different-textured vanity ships (they are supposed to redo all textures anyway, so adding a bit of variation won't be that much extra work compared to what they'll do anyway) even if I personally would much rather see "paint" items inserted in ship "paint" slots (with even the possibility of players designing their own mix-and-mach combos eventually), but there's only so much of this kind of stuff people will tolerate buying before going "eh, to hell with it".
SO WE NEED IDEAS FOR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ITEMS OR SERVICES TO BE SOLD FOR AUR. NOT JUST VANITY STUFF (clothes, paintjobs), BUT STUFF THAT IS USEFUL // FUN // DESIRABLE. YET IT CAN'T GIVE YOU A DIRECT GAMEPLAY ADVANTAGE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL RAGE ABOUT IT.
...
I have come up with just two different sets of rough ideas, but I am curious if you guys can come up with even more than this.
I will go into more detail in the following post, explaining each is as much detail as possible, but for now, the uber-short descriptions: * holo battle recorder * Incarna digital EVE CCG.
...
MEANWHILE, FEEL FREE TO POST OTHER IDEAS. No matter how outlandish. As long as they are something you'd like to get but does NOT give you an ingame advantage and is not already on CCP's plan for the future. Obviously.

On a serious note they simply could have risen the sub fee say 20-25%, simple, straight forward, still free expansions.. I would simply do that.

I look like ****. I want plastic surgery.
Also remaps.
BUT NOOOOOO
Modules for those will enforce an artificial price floor for their substitutes.
And no SP because I will not be able to control myself and I will have 5 max skilled Nyx pilots camping lowsec poses. Really, I'd like it but I can see where it can potentially go wrong.
PS: Blowup doll replicas of my characters will be nice too. I'd like one of you too Akita. <3!

This is a really good idea for a thread, cheers Akita T.
Personally, I'd pay several freakin' billion ISK on PLEX to get my hands on a ratty red sofa from clear skies. Hell, you could probably price that thing at ten monocles worth and I'd buy the **** out of it.

Serious response:
A BPC that allows you to create a paint scheme for a particular ship. You could then sell whatever run the BPC was for of these paint schemes for ISK, at whatever price you choose, inside your store.
Vanity:Yes. Pay-to-win:No.

Seems obvious but...
Design a little ingame applet that gives you a selections of animated backgrounds and graphics, text (including your corporation and alliance name), and lets you create a script with them for a 10 second ad to be played on CQ screens, promenade screens, and in game billboards. Charge $1 a day for them to be broadcast in the region, $5 a day for them to be broadcast randomly universe-wide.

Clothing Jewelry Cybernetic limbs.
Paint Jobs Alternate skins for ships. Alternate skins for POS
Access to sub games you can play inside stations(poker chess realy anything as long it has no relation to the spaceship world.)
Wherever you went - Here you are.

Edited by: Nyphur on 27/06/2011 00:42:08 Oh oh oh, here's a frigging good one. Sell wall-posters of various ships and such for reasonably small prices. Then sell a custom service that lets you turn a screenshot into a poster and charge a ridiculous amount for it. Even if this has to be done manually by a developer (like alliance logos), it would more than pay for the time it takes to set that up if priced at monocle-level prices.
This is how premium products work. You have an entry level product at reasonable prices, then a premium version that costs a ****-ton. You don't have all entry level products with all premium prices and then say it's OK because japanese designer jeans cost more than a month or two's rent

In-game advertising on the CQ screen and billboards. ****ing genius! I'd pay for that.

New shuttles that are the same as the existing ones? New skins of ships (so all Mallers for example have the new skin from your view point). Cosmetic changes that don't affect game play but could make ones experience playing the spaceship part of the game more enjoyable. I personally don't play zoomed in so I just see brackets and icons.
Maybe the ability to talk to mission agents remotely? I know this will impact game play but I'm struggling to find things that are fun and have some sort of value to the player, yet doesn't affect game play.
A longer skill queue? I've seen quite a few threads asking why it isn't longer so some people out there would be interested in it.
