I have to ask this question and would love a develop response but possibly someone else can explain it to me as I don't see the logic in it currently. I don't mind getting gifts and certainly in the past many of them have been funny and poked at Eve's history, but now it appears we are getting clothes for our Eve avatars that at one point was for Walking In Stations(WiS). A short history lesson for those that don't know, WiS was suppose to be a joint project between Eve, Dust 514, and World of Darkness. However World of Darkness was cancelled and Dust 514 has been shut down and after problem in Eve a few years ago WiS was all but cancelled with us only getting 4 themes captains quarters. However now its been a few years and there is no update from what I can see on WiS or the captains quarters and the Eve avatars are essentially constricted to the small photo you create. Beyond the lack of updates and integration with the rest of Eve it appears that the option to enter the captains quarters are getting removed with the new citadels and if not for all of eve at least for null-sec.
Given the lack of updates and integration or future vision at this point I have to ask the question I opened this thread for. Why are we getting Eve Avatar clothes if its essentially being phased out slowly? |

wut?
if you receive a 'gift' the only thing you need to do is say 'thank you'.
don't make things complicated.

Never liked the idea of WiS, dress up barbie or skins nobody but the pilot will see, all a waste of effort but the later two helps CCP make RL monies so more power to 'em as I wanna play another 13 years, WiS can die completely as far as I'm concerned cuz I won't miss what I never use.

I'm not against WiS it could go full bore and I could care less as I never use it, I'm a guy so dressing up my toons is nowhere on my "to do list" so clothes is also something I have no use for as I never use that feature either.
This is just my opinion as it's clear allot of other players like playing dress up barbie and buying skins that only they will see, it's just stuff I have zero interest in that's all.

I mean the problem seems to be everything pointing it its removal and yet still a push to give us items towards it. You can play dress-up barbie for a little while but why is CCP still producing and handing out clothes for it if the ultimate plan is to remove it. I personally was for WiS not because of dress-up (which I could see bringing in extra money) but rather for role-play, immersion, and the ability to introduce otherwise incompatible ideas such as bars and board games. |

The only (main?) reason a person can buy clothes and skins is for profit, CCP makes a little extra money and we can continue to play Eve, WiS has very little to nothing to do with those I would think.

Bingo. Someone's been paying attention.
The truth is that while some have stated they would be completely on-board with furthering WiS in Eve, far more people would completely **** on CCP for even bringing it up. On top of that, especially considering what people routinely seem to have the gall to ***** about now, we've shown CCP absolutely no reason to believe such an attempt would net any different a reaction from us today. The clothes and SKINs are a happy compromise that gets CCP some side income, gives the players who like to personalize their avatars and ships some ways to do so, and no one's up in arms over it...everyone wins a little. WiS would just upset too many folks for CCP to be willing to work on it more.

Vanity items like clothing and skins are very low cost once the tooling is in place to make them and they have no impact on game balance. An ideal gift from CCP's point of view.
All the gifts so far appear to be aimed at Alpha players and the ability to personalize their characters and ships may help keep them invested in the game.
WIS may have made sense when the intention was to share the code between 3 games but the feature was not central to any of the games and was an obvious candidate for the chopping block when CCP overextended themselves a few years back. Now, two of the games are gone and CCP have learned to pick their battles and focus on features that are central to the game most of us login to play. |

I was about to make a similar thread. WiS was abandoned 5 years ago and CCP is still making apparel for it. Why? Dressing fancy is useless when other players cant see it. I havent used the character editor since Incarna was released ...
Are there really players who spend money on apparel?
IMO the devs who make the apparel should make assets for space. Everyone can see them and there is plenty of work to do. Many of the existing assets are really old and could use a refreshment and additional assets would add more variety. |

If you really thought that through you'd realize how stupid that question is. There are people who buy giant hanging bull testicles made of plastic to hang on the trailer hitches of their trucks. If there weren't people that bought them, no one would make them. That's as true for virtual space clothes as it is for plastic bull testicles.

If it was FPS in stations that would be a totally different story. Sadly what we got was the sims without the ability to tailor your house with pink curtains and bear rugs. Also the fact that it takes about two minutes to meander from your ship to the couch is a deal breaker when all that info is available through the neocom at the press of a mouse.
Signatures wer cooler when we couldn't remove them completely.

Jesus man. I'm a Fabricator by trade. I build hammer mills for car shredders. What in the Hell does any of that have to do with vanity items in game?
I look at them as a way to give a little extra back to the folks at CCP. when I buy them, and a nice little bonus when they give them as gifts.
Remember, they don't have to give us shyte.

My above response was sort of a joke, I do all that except eat live animals though.
I give CCP bux via proxy of other players by buying PLEX in game for my six active accounts from farming SP from my unused alts (thank's CCP for the ISK sink), I don't want nor need to look pretty so don't use vanity items but I don't care if others want to look pretty.
I have kept and will continue to keep every gift CCP has so graciously given us over the years though.

Well they have been refreshing the existing assets and there've been plenty of threads regarding the pros and cons of those updates.
As for players spending money on apparel, well I guess so, otherwise they wouldn't be on the market to buy with ISK.
