For game without actual need for having full body avatar and with so much apparel in New Eden Shop,
I must say that CCP spends fair amount of resources into creating new apparel.
If clothes are only for bragging or self admiring in the mirror,
I must say that I'm really disappointed.
I chatted with many new players in local and most of them shared similar feeling about this.
I've read few posts about WiS and I wonder will it ever be implemented? |

If you had really read up on it, you'd know the answer to that question.

apparel lets you customize your characters.. I think that makes the game a bit more immersive..
I wish there was a much better selection of apparel

I don't actually think so. Slapping a few textures on an already existent T-Shirt Model and modelling a Baseball Cap takes one person an hour, if that.
Yes, the technology that allows us to have T-Shirts and Baseball Caps probably took some time to make, and that's time that could have been spent better, but now that it is there, why would they not sell a couple of easy to make pixel clothes and make some money off of it? Apparently people are buying the stuff, so it's all good. |

Apparel makes me play the game.
It also keeps artists employed.
It makes me spend more money then anyone should.
But also I really want to say Google it. |

It's something that we can spend money on that does not affect the game at all.
As opposed to "pay to win."
So, other games have clothes/outfits too. Why not EVE.
Besides, people can right-click your name and Show Info, then click your picture to view your full outfit, see how poorly dressed you are. So trust me, we know. |

I'm sure it takes CCP little time to actually design half of the outfits available on EVE store
And if it helps keep subscription fees lower or developers and artists employed at CCP then all power to them.
Personally I don't like spending actual money on apparel, but some people obviously do and thats cool. Some look good for it. |

Every little bit of customization lets people create some uniqueness. From the character creator you get so many possible combinations, with accessories that multiplies. With clothing and a little portrait work you can also create a unified style for a group.
Seems like something worth spending a little time (and a little wealth) for.
But to each their own.
edit.
I'd only open that door if there were others to interact with within.

Even though there isn't any avatar gameplay (yet?), that we can wear different apparel means we can present an image to those who wish to look.

The purpose of apparel is to look darn swank when someone for whatever reason double-clicks your portrait and selects 'full body view'.

They really dont spend any resources at all on it. There's like 6 different clothing options and then they just recolor them over and over again and out put it out as something new.
Hopefully star citizen never actually gets finished or it will make ccp look bad on the wis front amd having fps combat in and out of ships which is what dust was supposed to be. |

Also, barring that armoured suit and the Amarr robes, everything else looks like something I would wear IRL than something future people would wear. What I wouldn't give to swap out the jacket for something designed by Acronym.

Well, you see. You've basically explained it using simple logic. There is no point in the clothing. EVE has gone from: Making your character = Creating a character portrait. To: Prettier character portraits. And to somehow justify the fact that we can actually create and sculpt our character's bodies and faces. We have our little hamster cage... I MEAN, Captain's Quarters. It's been seven incredibly long years, and nothing has happened. Seven years to develop virtually any kind of video game from scratch is a considerable amount of time. And it's absolutely pathetic. They have the capability, and do wonders when it comes to optimization and from an overall perspective of mathematical precision. I'd say they're on par with Kojima Productions. The Phantom Pain is an extremely well optimized game, and is a testament to how a game can look/run on a certain level of hardware.
EVE's characters and character creation system are great. But at this point, the only logical conclusion is that it's there purely so they don't look like TOTAL complacent jackasses. Even though it doesn't really help them that much. They're still laid back, yet all of the competition is slowly and surely starting to emerge. What a ****-show.

With the influx of new alpha players as genuine newbies, apparel is a pretty good indicator if a younger character is a true rookie or an alt of an older and wealthier player.
No real newbie would waste hundreds of millions of isks on vanity items.
I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it.
Yes, I do feel bad about it.

CCP make money form selling Barbie items, good for them.
I would argue however, that ship skins are somewhat overpriced.
I have not checked for a while, but some of the skins seem to cost the same as about two months game-play, why would anyone do that?
This is not a signature.

They are actually alot cheaper than fancy clothes these days.
If you had been around since the Incarna era you probably would have quite a not-insignificant amount of AUR to spend. Which I did. To make my Breacher-waifu look pretty.

Custom paintjobs are there to add some more individuality. Since they are expensive, you usually don''t apply them to all your ships, but to the ships you fly most often and like the most.
If they were dirt cheap, everybody would use the best looking skins on all of their ships, completely defying the basic idea of individualization.
