So basically we've seen the end of free character creator updates, minus the new tattoos when they get them working.
No more new clothes, no more near hairstyles, no more jewelry... unless you pay through the butt for them.
Congratulations, CCP, you managed to make a feature I was enthusiastic about, Incarna, into something I wish would just go away. Zin, you're just clueless about how to make a game enjoyable, you know that?
Seriously, your participation in it has just sucked the fun right out of this whole expansion. |

Where is the logic in this?
With any luck NEX crashes and burns after the initial interest subsides and a couple people are looking for new jobs. Just cross your fingers. |

We aren't making a lot of money but that's not the point.
Any questions?
Yes.
A while back, a company called Apple discovered that if you sell songs for 99 cents people will buy them. Using this information, and combining it with an intuitive interface, the company became wildly successful and fabulously wealthy.
You, on the other hand, have decided to market $60 sets of virtual clothes hardcore geeks who are here to blow up spaceships and to casual newcomers with no real ties to the game. In fact the only group you've had any success with are forum trolls who use monocles as tear dispensors and even those are one-time purchases.
So my question is: When is the last time you updated your resume? |

Hi.
I think the point you missed and a LOT of people have missed is that if they had released the lower tier first on the Incarna release, a metric fu%Kton of PLEX's would have been cashed in for AUR and the market would have literally crashed.
Oh no, I've thought about that and I agree with you. But that's not an excuse to make the items $50-60.
That just proves AUR shouldn't come from breaking up PLEX. AUR should just be purchased with money, pure and simple. Or even take out the AUR entirely and just give me a price list. Then make everything 99 cents to a maximum of 4.99.
They would have had me there, and I would have bought stuff from the NEX store. Lord knows I buy cheap **** on impulse all the time in the Apple store. Maybe I should thank CCP for preventing me from doing that in Eve. |

Excuse?
lol, you're not getting it.
Drr, apparently you missed the part about how AUR shouldn't be tied with PLEX at all. For someone who complains about people not reading whole messages, you sure seem to suffer from that problem yourself. |

Wasn't the whole idea behind AUR to create a PLEX-sink? The more PLEX get converted to AUR the better as this was the purpose of AUR from the start.
CCP doesn't need a PLEX sink if they create a real money sink. |

OK, there's a second issue with PLEX.
There's a LOT out there and the super (ISK Rich) in EVE are hording them and playing market games.
There also needs to be a PLEX sink outside of cashing them in for game time and was something that was brought up a while back in one of the reports.
Fair enough, but you don't tie that into a transaction store like NEX which ought to be a mass market money maker for CCP. It doesn't sound like they're accomplishing their goal, and they're ruining a potential new source of revenue in the process.
If the problem is the super wealthy hoarding PLEXes, then target the aspects of Eve that require that amount of wealth. Require sov bills be paid in PLEX (maybe rename PLEX in the process), or something along those lines.
But skirts for PLEX? That just won't even solve the problem. |
