Personally I will not buy anything until the prices come down(alot) and we can actually walk around and interact with other players. It is stupid to pay outrageous prices for virtual goods only I can see. How about you? How do you feel about this and have you bought anything from the Nex?

I don't really care about the price, even the damned monocle seems cheap enough, but there was nothing in there that I would WANT to buy. So, no, I didn't buy anything from it, nor from the market using ISK. _

I used the free AUR we got on an alt, bought the boots and shipped them to my main. So I guess I technically haven't bought anything yet. If I see something that might entice me and the price is something I can afford, then I might also buy said item. If I don't then no biggie.
It is just a game.

No, and I won't because I don't subscribe to Dolls Online. But frankly, I think you have it backwards. The prices aren't high enough.
What's the point of buying something that sets you apart if everyone can get it fairly easily. So far, the monocles are the most expensive item and look at how many people have them. Kinda makes the monocles not all that special.
So, folks must not be buying them to set themselves apart (at least not anymore) but because they think it looks cool and they can afford it.
I think if CCP wants to sell a lot of NeX items to the latter sort of folk then prices are about fine or could come down some. But if CCP wants to sell to the folk who want to set themselves apart, prices on at least some items need to be much much higher. The monocle, for this purpose, is far too cheap.
Whether or not you personally buy NeX items or see them as set at reasonable prices is completely irrelevant.
Still wish I could buy bug fixes in the NeX though.. especially to make my drones behave for once.

Yes. Several outfits for my main and my alts.
For myself I can piece together about six differently themed outfits from the current NEX-offerings, and I hope we'll get more accessoires in the future.
But then I'm a hedonist and a narciss.
I feel the prices are steep, but any lower and there wouldn't be any exclusiveness. What CCP fails to deliver is some massmarket ware.

I have not. And I won't until they price this stuff in a SANE matter. I mean really, you want to charge money for cloths that don't even (physically) exist. I mean what the heck, did CCP get shafted by over paying on some commissioned fashion designs or what? The higher path is not one with more weaponry, but one with the will to not use them.

No, and who knows if there will ever be a multi-player environment in stations at this point. There is absolutely no communication about it, and that is never a good sign...
Maybe another Ambulation/Walking in Stations/Incarna scrap and overhaul is in progress? The next version will be "Capsulation" so that it pleases everyone. You can fly around the huge stations in your pod...

:boggles the mind:
For serious post: I haven't bought anything from the NEX. If the prices were cheaper, or if we actually had a way to interact and see other players in Incarna, then maybe.
As they are now, there really is no point to the NEX besides giving CCP money. ----------

It's too bad they already used Exodus for an expansion because at the moment it would be appropriate for the next one. Something is very wrong with your direction when avid collectors like Entity don't want anything to do with it.
Haven't touched nex, don't plan on it either. For the mr.man who loves my sig so much perhaps you should understand it is sarcasm and reflects the initial nex launch and how stupid the concepts coming out are.

I bought something for my toons and my wife. I quite enjoyed purchasing the monocle, literally.
I flew a republic fleet firetail 14 jumps through lolsec with 1.3 billion in sleeper loot to purchase the monocle. I could have easily closed the hole and looked for one closer to hisec, but where would be the fun in that? I especially enjoyed doing it in the firetail because I had just been told on the forums how stupid I was for spending LP on a firetail.
I enjoyed taking a huge needless risk, and I enjoyed knowing that I was supporting CCP (well once I succeeded and turned the isk to plex to aur). I also quite enjoyed the 'online date' we had when we picked up her goggles and put them on. . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

No, and I don't intend to either. My reasoning is that it just seems somehow disloyal to the identity of eve online the player-driven economic sandbox (that was) to support an immersion-breaking company store that short-circuits player industry so obviously for rl cash.
Add to that my strong (personal) suspicion that artist salaries are going towards NeX content that should in my view be spent on hiring Eve spaceship artists (cyno, engine trails, missile launcher graphics, pos renewal etc.) Supporting Nex is (again in my personal view) simply encouraging CCP down the wrong path and I think the best thing for Eve Online's future health and success is that the NeX experiment dies unlamented and gets quietly removed from the game.
Any future content that is ear-marked for delivery by NeX just feels like its spoiling the game from my viewpoint. I would prefer all content to come via traditional means (bpos, bpcs, lp stores etc) and be available for players to buy with their in-game currency without breaking their suspension of disbelief and reminding them (too firmly) that Eve players are viewed as cash-cows by the money men.
I feel strongly that the hybrid model (subsciptions + microtransactions) is utterly wrong for Eve Online and I'd like to see the developers make a firm and principled choice between subscription and microtransactions.
Imagine for a moment if NeX didn't exist and they'd delivered these clothings and goggles and things in the form of bpos/invention product/lp - then we'd be happy to see the "nightstalker goggles" having in game effects and actually doing something that made them worth having.
Screw vanity for its own sake.

This is a spaceship game. Things should have an impact on the game.
While I don't agree with the notion that MT and subscriptions can not live in harmony, I "do" agree with you on the point that these vanity items need to be produced by players. BPC's to make them (and other items like the Ishukone Watch Scorpion) can be sold via the NeX store, but the production of these items needs to come from the player base. BPO's from the NeX store would be a possibility as well, but I realize that may be a bit more problematic from the marketing angle.
If the player base is to exert pressure, I would like to see it focused on asking CCP to put a priority on developing the tools necessary to do this. After all, they have already indicated that is the system they would like to ultimately see in place. Pressure to make it a priority doesn't deter from goals they already have in place, it simply changes the development priorities. This would meet a lot less resistance than asking them to scrap their plans altogether, and would be something the player base could get behind.
I feel that ignoring the NeX items altogether (if one has even a slight interest in pimping how their Avatar looks to begin with) out of principal will ensure that the only path CCP will take is to continue stubbornly on their current path until they ultimately scrap the project altogether... which would be a shame.
The concept has a LOT of potential for both FIS content as well as WIS content, I'd hate to see it abandoned because we couldn't find a way for it to work in a way agreeable for both the player base and CCP. ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction. |

NEX is just the beginning of the P2W/Golden Scorpion/Golden Ammo trash slide. Mybe no golden ammo NOW but just wait a while. CCP said there will be "NO GOLD AMMO EVER" so u can expect it soon!
If NEX successful, then P2W will be enacted within 18-24 months. I refuse to participate in the downfall of Eve.

To answer the OPs question -- yes, I have.
My feeling is that so long as the NeX store is self-supporting (or even better) in terms of salaries for creatives then it could all be coming from an independent company for all that it matters. What has bearing on EVE in my opinion is when I see what I could be getting for PLEX on the market. I could be turning that money into a semi-bottomless tissue-box of new spacecraft and equipment (well, except for the really big stuff), but I'm not going to do that - it's very tempting, but I won't. I intend to divert any temptation to spend RL-cash straight into NeX-wear. So, if you see me looking good, it's probably a sign that if you kill my ship, then it will stay dead - at least for awhile. That's the game I want to play.

I really don't have a problem buying things from CCP, it's just what they are selling is crap. Some of those women's clothes look like they were made for jersey women in their 80s. I can't believe they hired designers to make that bs.
Take a page out of itunes business model. Let players design and place clothing up for sale, CCP takes a cut. I think there is a game out there that already does it, APB maybe, or second life.
On another note: I would totally buy a paint job for my ships.

Originally by: Rakshasa Taisab At last count I have bought 60,000 AURUM worth of NEX store items.
No one cares how much CCP alts have spent......
CCP alts don't have that much ISK to spend, only getting enough to cover a monocle and boots.
he seems to be bitter...probably something to do with his lack of in game funds to buy "elitist pig" items
A WILD MONOCOTROLL APPEARS.
MONOCOTROLL USED BAIT
ITS NOT VERY EFFECTIVE.

Whereas for the same price, I could have dressed my main and both my alts, provided there was the appropiate stuff (some Sisi items still haven't been released).
So, to keep this short, no, I have not bought from the NEx, not because I can't, but because I find the prices outrageously high compared to the reward they provide. Their cost>fun factor is crap because there's too much cost for the fun. Maybe that may change if CCP, miraculously, manages to deliver Incarna without lighting issues; but I am very skeptycal since our crappy CQ was called "final" and so far they just did something - what?- to the screens and menus rather than fix the lighting.
And anyway adding more "fun" -in the unlikely event they don't spoil it with lighting issues- still will keep the stuff horribly overpriced for something we already have paid for.
The NEx would be fun if we could as much as play fashion victims without opening wide our c.c. or sacrifice spaceships fun for it. With the curent prices, NEx stuff can be split into two tiers:
- ludicrously overpriced for the people who cares - perfectly priced for the people who doesn't gives a damn of it

No I have not. Yes, I can afford to buy out the store if I wanted to. I'd rather give the money to a crackhead lying in the gutter though than spend it on imaginary space clothes.
0% chance I will ever purchase anything from the Nex store.

To quote an article on Incarna this months PC Gamer:
'Items can only be worn when standing alone in your quarters. It's the Eve equivalent of all dressed up with nowhere to go'.
I'm guessing that basement dwellers can identify with this concept.

Edited by: Tippia on 04/09/2011 11:54:28 No, because they're horribly designed (as in ôdrawnö ù the lack of aesthetics is glaring), horribly designed (as in ômodelled in 3Dö ù they have clipping errors and exposed back surfaces ffs!), and serve no purpose until Incarna is released.
àand even then, they fail at even basic MT pricing strategy, and I see no reason to encourage such failure. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡ you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki

When the gaming review establishments that have long defended eve now call out ccp's blatent profit whooring the end is not long in coming.
Eve's success is much like a countrys currency. Once the belief in it dies so does the game.

Nope. Never will. Even if they finally hire real designers with an aesthetic sense, I'll refuse in memory of how they initially insulted my senses with their first offerings.

Not yet, although I bought some stuff using buy orders at around 10M.
I would buy something if it that does not look like the military threw it away because it was too bland. Prices need to drop as well - my pain threshhold is around 100M I guess, although something very good looking might tempt me to spend more. It's not an issue of having the money, I simply don't feel like spending too much.

I agree to a point. They do need some modelling work, for sure. And we need a ton more diversity than what's up right now. But I do rather like the designs that are out now, I just think it's hard to appreciate them when it all looks so same-y. ______________________

Most likely never...I can't really see a point in time where I would want to spend any more time in station than absolutely necessary.
However, I respect the right of those of us who choose to purchase vanity items to do so.
I have a dream...a dream where CCP uses the "vast" income they derive from selling e-panties to bring us better space ship content...it's a dream...please don't hit me with any negative vibes man!

The ability in which you manage to repeatedly troll yourself fascinates me.
thx for the lulz
