NeX is a bad idea - pure and simple.
Subscription is for content
Subscription means active players generating and destroying isk
Subscription allows some players to sell isk/time from other players with PLEX
PLEX supplements income for CCP
NeX only allows content for cash
Content is immersion and enhances player experiences
I've always been uncomfortable with the vanity only argument as it means you only get the full content experience if you pay more and more cash.
If we were building the game without this consideration, ship skins/logos, etc. would probably be earned from LP, be awarded for completing missions, running a corp, or having great standings - NeX means all of those options and game depth are replaced by cash

Personally I can't understand how CCP and some players are satisfied with the mediocre delivery of items into the sandbox of EVE via the NEX Store. With how CCP has handled the NEX, all they've done is alienate a whole lot of people both in the game and outside of it. Be Fearless CCP and show that you have the cherries to maintain the integrity of EVE as a sandbox game.
Put the NEX items back into the players hands by having them manufactured by them and destructable.

FYP. Don't pay a cent if you don't want to. Thank you, you saved me the trouble.
Don't worry, you've repeated your view enough times and I get it - I just don't see that NeX, or the way the store works is as harmless as you do.
I don't even think it fits EVE.
