I can only wonder at CCP`s intended direction, maybe they recently employed a supposedly top Marketing team that came fresh out of Uni , i dont know,(it maybe their downfall) but this NEX store and CCP`s over enthusiastic announcements in EVE news fails to grab any enthusiasim or interest from me at all, as we know mainly Eve players are mature and large majoraty male(in age not neccesarily in mind) so why the hell would dressing up pixel barbie dolls appeal to any of us ? Your marketing team need firing now before they bring your company down ,they are totally out of touch with your customer base; im sure this new direction will be documented in history as one of the top fails almost on par with the Delorean car company.

I'm just waiting for them to put a collection of new doors in the NEX. I'd like something in wood I think. A nice oak door would be awesome.

Here - male *grunts*, mature (wait, internet spaceships?)
Now where are the new pants I'm waiting for? The commando pants don't go well with the Esquire coat
I guess you would be surprised how many male people not only have a sense of fashion, but will be willing to shell out money for that. Not everyone in the game is an unwashed cannon-toting killing machine only set on accumulating ressources. Okay, the other extreme, but I think many will have a streak of roleplaying, thus character awareness in them.

Brilliant! In addition to a ships hangar, we can have a doors hangar! Whenever we want to stare at a different door, we click "make active" (or maybe 'hang this door' or something)and poof! A different door!
Give me french doors! Screen doors! Doors with windows! Doors with peepholes! Doors with little doors you can open to see on the other side! Metal scrollwork doors! Outhouse doors! Walk-in refrigerator doors! Vault doors! Glass doors! The possibilities are endless.....

More cry babies who can't earn enough isk to buy PLEX/AUR and can't get mommy to let them use her CC.
Don't worry, when you make it to 1st grade, maybe mommy will buy you a monocle.
So you don't have to be bitter and jealous any more

He said "gay fan boi trolls" not boys. The last time I checked, there is no law against sex with his apparently preferred partner, but that kinky inter-species thing is just wrong.

Edited by: Abriael VonRosen on 30/07/2011 16:22:18 the Nex store sure failed to appeal to me, and will do so at least until they offer a complete character redesign token (since I botched my chin), but I don't go around assuming that it won't appeal to anyone.
The fact that CCP put the prices high seems to be an indication that they fully expect the NEX not to have massive appeal, and businesses with a luxury-only target are often still profitable.
By the way, I'd slow down a lot before going around and saying that having a predominantly male population means that fashion has no appeal. If you look at places like Second Life, guys spend a lot in dressing up their personal Ken. Same in real life, men spend more and more every year for aesthetics. -- Abriael

I agree in that I don't find the NEX clothing appealing either, but I think there are actually a LOT of EVE players sitting on huge sums of discretionary cash - whether it's RL money or ISK. These are probably CCP's real target, not the "typical player". I don't like the snobby attitudes of some posters here, but it's true that just because one person is poor doesn't mean another can't afford to throw hundreds of dollars or euros or whatever on virtual clothes.
The key is to figure out what you can offer that will make the rich pay that money to you instead of someone else. Once your pockets are full, you may be surprised to find yourself becoming one of those people the NEX store appeals to.
