4. It further enhanced an already existing perception that CCP were wasting developer time. The failure to create a store that would pay for itself; the failure to reuse existing code; the rush to get the thing out and the ensuing failure to integrate it into the game properly all pointed to this perception being right on the money.
6. CCP failed to do any expectations management whatsoever. They did not explain the purpose of the store. They did not explain the pricing structure of the store. They hinted at new gameplay and new professions, but failed to deliver. They did not test the store or gather any feedback, and instead did the early-alpha-stage testing in the live environment.
If you wanted to narrow it down to just two reasons (not to discount the others), these two are dead-on.
#6 is a systemic problem that CCP needs to realize and fix not just for the NeX, poor expectation management rings true for just about every "new shiny" CCP adds to EVE.

Confirming my space pants are often too snug for my liking and tend to chafe. 
/maybe time for me to lay-off of the Quafe until CCP introduces liposuction for Arum.

-Get rid of aurum.
-GTCs as they exist in game are not a whole unit, but a 1/10th or 1/20th or whatever. (One "whole" GTC gets you the same game time) and can be divided, traded and turned in
-Everything on the exchange is purchased with GTCs. Want pants? .1 GTC please. Want a paintjob for your vargur? .3 GTC please

So what you are saying is that you would favor having P2W items in the NeX.
No.

So what you are saying is that you would favor having P2W items in the NeX. Pay to win? Hardly. Pay to sit in a station in more fear than people now do when wearing improved. On top of that. WTF is the difference between an implant being bought with arum and put on the market compared to how it is now? Getting it as a reward or a drop and being put on the market. Either way it's simply popped into existence through no effort on the part of the player. Implants are not manufactured. You picked the wrong example, Doc. Mr Epeen 
It's no different than gold ammo because it is not a vanity only item like space pants and paint-jobs.
Most Implants on the market are also initially redeemed and paid for with LP earned by players running missions plus some ISK.
