Yes, CCP, please stop working on actual Eve content so the space barbies can play dressup.

I agree. The prices for the clothing items are incredibly high compared to most other MMORPGs who also sell comparable vanity items. And I'm not talkin about the monocle here. For buying a full set of clothes (shirt, jacket, pants, shoes) I can get multiple vanity armor sets in other games.

Wonders if people will still call for death to AUR if it was called a Micro Plex.

I don't have an answer for you, but I too hope that we can offer them soon because they are just great :)
(I'm pretty happy with my outfit :) )

Don,t have an answer is pretty much standard CCP policy

CCP karkur was kind enough to answer us during the holiday week, when I'm sure most CCP folk were away from work. Also, I'm assuming CCP is in the post-Crucible-OK-that-kinda-worked-now-what planning stages... though I hope that's not what they name the next expansion. They may not know what they're going to do themselves, let alone be prepared to tell us about it. Patience, please.

They're only in the SiSi Market for people to play with, but would only be in the market in order for people to resell. The only reason they have an ISK price on SiSi, is because *everything* has a 100 ISK price on SiSi.



And... I lost all respect for you. Aurum = PLEX. Effectively. Yes, they need to get the capability to transfer Aurum into the game, but the effective truth is, both are currencies created by spending RL currency. What they provide, can be sold on the market (either game time, or clothes you buy with AUR).

Honestly, if you wanted to simplify currency, it'd make more sense to get rid of PLEX. Change it directly into Aurum. And have game time purchased in Aurum. Because Aurum is simply a version of PLEX that can be divided into smaller portions.

Please know what you're talking about, before you whine about it.

CCP needs to change their pricing strategy... badly. Things need to drop in price by a factor of ten. But Aurum as a currency is not the problem.

what you say has merit.

To be honest, EVE has been pay to win for a long time, to an extent.

PLEX sold for ISK is pay to win, although there are certainly some caveats and counterbalances that keep it from being the only factor in "winning". This new factor may tip it farther in that direction.

It is evil pretty much by very definition, since anything it does in-game means it steals gameplay content away from the game, and anything out-of-game (nothing so far, but going by their discussions) could be better done by consolidating that stuff with the other account services.

Is it possible that PLEX is more... "pay to keep up"?

For example, I have sold PLEX for ISK, because I don't have the play time to make money, so I had all sorts of skills for ships I couldn't afford to fly. I'm working on capital ships, and I will probably use PLEX to assist the acquisition of said capital ship. But no matter how much I spend on PLEX, I am not going to be able to fly a capital ship any time within the next month, because my skill points aren't there.

What about all the clothes in the Market that seemingly don't exist in-game?

They're only in the SiSi Market for people to play with, but would only be in the market in order for people to resell. The only reason they have an ISK price on SiSi, is because *everything* has a 100 ISK price on SiSi.

And thats evil how?

NeX is evil because it hurts my feelings.

Bullets are Evil they kill people
Gasoline is Evil they kill people
Engines are Evil they kill people

Subsequently everything is evil every object, cause it kills people at some point.

Air is Evil it kills people
Without Air there will be no combustion, therefore no "engines, flying bullets etc."
But then there would be something else .. not sure i am not an scientist but i guess there is some kind of fusion possible without Air, therefore it is Evil too because it will consequently kill people.

And lets follow it a bit longer
Clothes are evil and car paints are evil because .. There certainly can be some line which will explain it but it will go down to the root of the industry and then the fact that it use something which was considered evil because it is used for another industry which kills people, but its projecting..

Therefore Morals are Evil in general because they create roles : like what you have to do and what you should not do. Therefore it is destroying personality and therefore it is Evil .. Evil itself is Evil by its own definition which is confusing..

There is no such thing as Evil or Good.. Things just happens, what the outcome is .. its upon ours "created personal reality" .

CCP, the demand is building. Soon these poor saps will be knocking down the doors to the NeX, if only because they're so tired of looking at the crap that you've let languish in the NeX. It's like starving a man near to death and then offering him everything he wants to eat for some god awful price to which he spends all his money and eats himself to death. You don't have any small children or animals you're training, do you?

It is like offering a starving man a french gourmet restaurant with a snobby doorman that won't let you in without stylish NeX clothes.

TBH, as long as you are not the chef, I'd be fine wearing stylish clothes.
