At no point was it made clear that CCP will not sell non-vanity items in the cash-shop in the future. Everything they said left that option open. Why does the option need to be left open? Ok so there are no plans, have been no plans, but that doesn't mean anything because new plan tomorrow could change anything.
All that wait, a meet with the CSM and no one can answer definitively that non-vanity items will never be sold?

"upcoming summit with the CSM and CCP to "discuss the events of the past week, to help us define and address the real underlying concerns""
I guess I knew right from the opening sentence this was going to be a crock. Needing to fly in the CSM from all over the world to "define and address the real underlying concerns"?
I get this image of all the CCP execs sitting around their pc's scratching their heads in befuddlement as the read one after another post demanding to know if CCP is going to stand by their previously stated commitment to never sell non-vanity items and asking themselves, "Whatever can they possibly want from us?!?! Quick,call in the CSM to explain this alien customer-speak to us!"
And worst of all, the issue ultimately wasn't addressed. Naturally I can only assume there is a very good reason on CCP's part as to why they will no longer commit to not selling not-vanity items.

It is CCPæs plan that the Noble Exchange (NeX store) will be used for the sale of vanity items only. There are no plans, and have been no plans, as per previous communication and CSM meetings, to introduce the sale of game breaking items or enhancements in the NeX store.
The investment of money in EVE should not give you an unfair advantage over the investment of time.
Thank you! Was that really so hard to say?
Now I can resub again and enjoy Internet Spaceships without fear.
You realize they can make a new plan tomorrow that sells sp, isk and ships in the store for cash and the above statement is still true? What we wanted them to say and is apparently too hard for them to say is to commit as they have previously to not selling non-vanity items in the future. They have not committed to that yet.

Yes, CCP still wants to dock straight to Incarna.
Did they explain why we must be forced into Incarna? Or did they explain why pilots must leave their pod every time they dock? I am hoping for an other answer then that this is CCP's way to promote NeX (and I would very much appreciate hearing about it).
Clearly the cash-shop is designed to get cash to CCP. To that effect being in an avatar is critical. And for a large portion of the playerbase, being in an avatar for EvE is completely incidental to a majority of their game play, so CCP, sadly imo, has to force it. They want people in avatars shopping and spending real cash.

I'm surprised how many people are thanking CCP and saying this is resolved without CCP committing to not turn EvE into a cash-shop driven game.
