I'm with the OP. Close that NeX store for good, it was very bad idea. Get over it. |

@OP: Get over yourself. Most people have no issue with MT being in EVE in its current form or the with the Nex store in general (other than to lobby for it being made affordable to more people). If people didn't want to play around with it, the pricing levels wouldn't be an issue to begin with.
Wrong.
Most people who don't have issue with micro-transactions will leave pretty soon after these MTs get in full into the game. Hardcore players will leave the moment these MTs go into game changing items. And then CCP will cry out for people to return. With mails and offers. But once someone biomass there's no way he will return. And MTs of game changing items warrantee that biomass for hardcore players who sustained EVE for these years. And then EVE becomes F2P with P2W. With Dust 514 interaction... which will be P2W from the start... a game for a year to be around. And then collect dust on shelves. Well... it's name already includes that.

Hey all the proud defenders of MT in EVE Online because it's vanity items, don't you ****s know about Ishukone Scorpion affair just before Incarna release? That thing surfaced for a moment and then got wiped completely. And the discussion was that this Battleship will be sold solely in NeX MT store. When Incarna arrived and ***t hit the fan CCP hid that Ishukone Scorpion as far as they only could.
So I'd suggest you rethink your "vanity" defense. Because you will end up with Battleships and golden ammo in subscription game. Probably by then it already will be F2P P2W since a lot of people will leave by that time.

No they put the plans on hold untill they can get the BPC working correctly to accept a scorp in the build process. They originally wanted to put it up for a while without a need for a normal scorp untill they could get the system changed. We shot down the idea and they agreed with the playerbase.
No they put the plans on hold until they feel it's relatively safe to introduce it in their NeX MT shop. Because they suddenly realized that doing so at this moment will ruin their income and potentially reduce the playerbase to unrecoverable levels. But the plans are right there. It's the same as their statements a year ago "we do not have plans for MT shop". Take a look at MT shop in game today.

so... they want to introduce a BPC to the NeX store that accepts a scorpion, and outputs a scorpion with a different paint job - but same attributes (cap, cpu, pg, etc)?
and this is bad.. because?
that would qualify as cosmetic. seriously stop ****ing your pants long enough to realize that nobody gives a **** about cosmetic items - and nobody SHOULD give a ****.
you know how much FUN it will be to Pop an Ishukone Scorp for the lulz?
You have difficulty reading posts? Or missing parts of it?
The initial plan was and still is to put Ishukone Scorpion without any BPC or whatever else. Just a ship out of thin air. That plan is on hold until they decide they can introduce it without loosing half of their playerbase that same day. If you have any doubts please reread again a year back statements by CCP employees "We do not have any plans for MT shop" and take a look at that MT shop in game today.

Nobody here get the feeling of something just not right?
We suddenly have many "reasonable" pro-MT P2W people on these forums. With strange arguments that can work on youth players but laughable for grown up players. Connect that with CCP hire of PR firm and all what was going on last few month. Include these CSM minutes release delays excuses. Think about CSM candidates resignations for "unrelated reasons". Reflect on Ishukone Scorpion Battleship affair. You have good enough picture to see where all this train going and what's the destination.
