Personally I've always thought that the main failure of the NeX store was that CCP didn't seem to consider what players might actually want to buy, as opposed to what CCP wanted to sell. Which is why we ended up with clothing rather than cool spaceship related stuff.
So what would you consider buying?
Nothing. Death to microtransactions.

edit: btw EVE is the only MMORPG without functional cash shop (besides Final Fantasy).
There is a much easier way to leave behind people that don't want WiS and it doesn't cost $49.

More cash to work on Eve for CCP then. Eve is not going to grow, If they only recycle the existing content. WiS as a whole would improve avatar interaction. Isn't it strange that 2% female player base is countered by 40% female avatars total? Must be all furry 2nd-lifers, however you like to label 'em. 
Right after Incarna was the only time in the game's history where the number of subscribers dropped dramatically and since CCP announced they were sorry for the disaster and promised to refocus on real Eve content subs have gone up every quarter. WiS almost killed Eve so I don't know why you think it would magically multiply the subscriber base by ten. |

And the only bad thing that happened about WiS is that it was so much less than what they advertised at the fanfest prior to incarna.  I liked the idea- there really isn't anything to do with our avatars ATM, and if we could do stuff in the station, I'd like to at least try it. Don't be so against new things; they can be fun sometimes 
Actually people were mad because Eve was ignored for two years and all we had to show for it was a room with a couch and a really bad microtransaction store.
Eve is spaceships.

You are correct! After the mess of Incarna CCP has done a decent job of listening to their players and focusing on real Eve content and the game is in pretty good shape these days. I would hate to see them go backwards.
