Following the recent events and apparent current trends in the gaming industry it looks like it is inevitable that EVE will become, in one way or another, a pay to win title.
Since it's coming anyway, this is what I would pay $100 for (in plex of course): T2 BPOs!
Would I see a Rapier or Rhea BPO in the NeX store for 20,000.00 AUR I would buy it immediately. Just think about all the industrials who you could reach with this. I'm sure hundreds if not thousands of these would also buy the same BPO several times.
And best of all countless threads have proven that T2 BPOs give no unfair advantages whatsoever and do no harm since everyone can get them, even nowadays. People who do not have the RL cash or ISKs to buy from the NeX store or only temporarily want to increase their production capabilities can still use invention.
Do it CCP. Give us T2 BPOs in the NeX store!

And when everyone buys T2 BPOs, and the market is flooded, prices drop like a stone, you'll say "Why did I spend $100 on that, I should have bought a PLEX..".

That'd be funny. Gets my vote.

I thought the main ****block in the t2 market was the materials. Having more producers would probably bring down the profits (cheaper ships, more expensive materials to build it). Not sure that'd be good, but hey, it's not much worse than a lottery either.. -

Oh, please, sell T2 BPOs for Aurum, and while you're at it sell the materials to make T2 items for Aurum too. Then maybe T2 ship prices will drop a bit making insuring them more plausible.

You are equating the cost of a single item to a blueprint?
GET OUT!

Sure CCP could settle for higher prices. But they will probably earn more $ if they go for something in my price range.

Actually, CCP should move all BPOs to cost aurum and make all bpos in use limited runs (say 1000). That would net them considerable extra income. They could do same for more advanced skill books and so forth. Want to go that way?

I have no objection to anything that is currently an ISK sink, such as skills and t1 blueprints being available for AUR so long as they remain available on the normal market too. Same for ship insurance, clone costs etc - why not?

And why should CCP's management care that I will have a tiny profit margin? Not even I would mind it. Profit margins with certain invented items are already pretty small.

Of course they would not be available for ISK. That would be pointless, they could cost both isk and aurum but idea is to force people spend more RL money on EVE.

That's not what AUR's about - you could sink PLEX for isk and just buy from the normal market.

The trick is to encourage people to spend $, not to force them.
Skills, for example, may seem a trivial thing to charge $ for .. until you consider the ISK cost of some skills - some people may consider paying a few bucks is better for them than grinding the ISK. People already do it by selling plex, and as the items are just an ISK sink anyway there is no reason to depend on a third party to supply the ISK rather than just turning it in to a $ sink ... and CCP don't end up with the $15 subscription liabilty they would have had if a player bought the plex for ISK.

For $100 i'd want a brand new game actually i'd want 2 new games. As $100 is roughly ú62 and for that i can buy 2 brand spanking new games from GAME.

That is how out of touch with reality CCP are. About these protest CCP

Read my other reply - CCP makes more money from doing it for AUR because the plex is removed from the game, rather than the liablity being transferred.

Pay2Win is already here, has been for years, it's called plex. There is no eveidence at all to support the belief that the balance is shifting one way or the other in eve, unless you happen to be a conspiracy theorist/nut job.

To be fair CCP didn't say that. It's just my crappy nonsense. But with their monocle they aren't far off of course.
In reality I wouldn't pay Ç100 for an ingame item either. I would use my otherwise earned ISK, buy a plex and convert it into AUR. CCP gets $100, the plex seller his ISKs and I "just" spent imaginary interwebz spaceships money. That would be the only way it would work for me. I would also rather not have MTs at all but when it's bound to come I would rather have something that interests me and might solve something that has been a hot topic for years.

Lol. You do get what they did to the insurance system, right? ---- Will 2011-06-24 go down as the day CCP stood still, or the day the dream died? |
