Horribly overpriced vanity items that didn't sell because they were horribly overpriced. CCP then gave away free AUR so people could buy the horribly overpriced vanity items for free and eventaully keep buying the horribly overpriced vanity items with their own money but this plan also backfired because they were horribly overpriced. |

Yah. NO ONE has a monocle. You just never see them. What do they even look like?

I DO like the idea, (i am obviously wearing 2 pieces of nex stuff)
but considering were aurum comes from and pricing? no WAY too high, they need to bring prices down so the monocle isn't worth 2 dreadnoughts WELL-FITTED 
or you know failing THAT, they could just close down the store completely and make the NeX stuff standard...
but a minor suggestion CCP (know its not the right place but adding...), what about officer caps? you know like the one the LP store icon general has, maybe that matches the navy shirts.
hats would be very awesome  |

Precisely. Only a small amount of people bought one (people with a lot of cash but not a lot of brains) as they cost $70. |

Before it's release the NeX generated a certain amount of anticipation and controversy. Unfortunate for those who were eagerly awaiting the NeX the items were so outrageously priced as to utterly destroy their enthusiasm for this new feature save for those few with so much isk and that are the types that actually believe Nigerian scams who went straight for the gold standard in NeX product lines, the monocle. CCP having totally over-estimated the demand for virtual goods and their own ability to develop new technologies for WoD that didn't require super-computers to be able to render more than one avatar and one small room promptly concluded two things: 1) Not enough people were willing to shell out +$30 for virtual stuffs and 2) even fewer people can afford supercomputers to render more than one avatar and one small room. As such, the WoD developmental team was canned and along with them development on WiS and the NeX ceased. Afterall, both WiS and the NeX were testing features being developed for WoD.
And that is why the NeX is languishing.

correction, no sane person spends THAT much money on cosmetic items in ANY game, dumb insane people spend that kind of money on advanced weaponry, not a friggen monocle.
my gear was bought on the market for low prices (40 mill is not alot of money guys, even if i don't make that much every day right now)
anyways... i think the basic idea can work... the aurum costs need to be deflated, i thought CCP tested economic theroy when planning? oh well |

I agree with this 100%. Right now, it costs $6.66 per 1000 AUR. If this was brought down to about $2.50 per 1000 AUR, CCP would see a big increase in people buying vanity items. If it was brought down to $1 per 1000 AUR, i'd bet nearly everyone would buy vanity items (I know I would buy every item I can wear because i'm a completionist). |

You're an ass. If they don't bring in thongs in the next NEx update, i'm unsubbing. There has to be some sort of business attire in the store and thongs fit the bill.
Idea: Thongs with socks so they don't have to make any new textures and make toes.  |

Eliminate the Nex store and AUR.
It is (was) an attempt to introduce MT which would in time, evolve to "I win" buttons.

I thought CCP got the idea with the massive Jita riot. That was just at the mere idea of pay-to-win items. Imagine what would happen if that idea became reality. |

People will start seeking medical help ? Because of their obnoxious disconnection with reality ? Be it EVE in game or out game reality.
even with +1k percent damage output implants and +10mil shield buff implant .. does not provide you any "win" ..
Sure you can win in high sec missioning.. with that .. but
once you get in real combat in low/null you just die.. simple as that..

Its getting a bit boring explaining this point to the same people in 1001 different threads.
NeX is evil because its about offering content we expected to be provided through traditional sandbox industries (CCP led us to believe that Incarna would have establishments where you sell stuff made by players to other players) purely through the lazy microtransaction "push $ button get stuff" model that has absolutely nothing to do with traditional eve gameplay. NeX has rightly been seen as removing sand from the sandbox because the concept denies players the opportunity to play with the industries that Incarna should have enabled.
NeX is evil because it presents an argument that our subscription fees are no longer enough to get access to the whole of eve online. That in order to get access to the whole of the content you need subscription+MT. This subdivides the player base between RL haves and have nots and erects a microtransaction based paywall between available content. It is certainly evil because it helped push Eve into the unsub cycle we saw this autumn as players began to doubt the value of their subscription in the shadow of our new MT overlords.
NeX is evil because it introduced indestructible player possessions into a game that once prided itself on risk/reward and the cold realistic nature of its game world. While Eve is happy to have players losing the value of a family saloon car when their Titan's explode the NeX commissars decided that Monocles would be invulnerable and eternal because thats the only way they could justify the ridiculous price. This made a mockery of the concept from the beginning and was a very sad day for eve.
NeX is evil because its a foot in the door for creeping Microtransactions in Eve. "Vanity" clothing was first. Ship skins will be next. Corp and Alliance logos will follow. Soon any new customization of your avatar or ships or corporate interface could be sold only for Aurum and while clothes can be sold on the market you can bet not everything planned for the future can be.This is definitely the wrong direction for a successful and thriving single server MMO that once prided itself on daring to be different.
NeX is evil because its a crass defilement of existing PF political realities in New Eden. Amarr-owned clothing chains getting exclusive rights to sell clothes in the stations of the people they are at war with (and trying to enslave) yeah right. Its evil because rather than having the new content brought into the game by loyalty point stores with factional agenda and backstory its all plonked down like a badly organized wallmart store with flashing neon $ signs on the outside. Its cheap. It lacks any background credibility, and it actively works to break people's suspension of disbelief.
NeX is evil because it was the brainchild of CCP monocle and CCP thousand dollar jeans who believed that rather than playing games to relax and suspend our disbelief in our leisure time we should instead play games to continue the crass echos of consumer greed culture that haunt our waking lives. In essence they (and the NeX store) posit that if you are a "loser" in real life (ie don't have a good job nice house and expensive clothes) then you should continue to be a "loser" in your virtual life where the lack of $ fed virtual currency will ensure you continue to dress in thrift store space fashions while aristocratic space bankers laugh at you with mink coats and monocles.
So much for playing games to relax and escape your worries for a while in the space opera of New Eden - so much for playing a member of the "capsuleer elite" (who can own planets and access a luxury lifestyle throughout the length and breadth of space. Oh no, these guys want you to be reminded of your RL credit card bills and overdraft everytime you look at some overdressed gimp in a shiny leotard knowing that your capsuleer can't even afford a pair of socks without selling off your fleet of battleships.
It'd be a decent comedy routine if it wasn't so tragic.
