3. What the hell. Guessing you don't like Nex/Aurum much since there is no "none of above" option. 5. There is a definite advantage in PLEX, but it is entirely dependent on market forces. 11. Whipping oneself into such a frenzy that one loses the ability to reason .. does that constitute overreacting 12. Sadly even the ones I considered level headed before the hiccup was caught up in the wave of stupidity .. most I guess was due to feeling betrayed by not being included in deliberations though, and not so much the actual hiccup. 14. Huh? So the 120M+ characters with umpteen super capitals at their disposal should be able to affect the game world without paying .. is that what was meant? 15. Voting on an informed basis is the one and only true requirement of an individual in a modern society .. online or offline. If people want to stop me from voting they'll have to pull the pen from my cold dead hands! |

2) I'm not totally against items that give an ingame advantages, such as PLEX, buying and selling characters, or new items. (Like extra remaps, or training multiple alts on the same character.) You just have to be carefull about what you sell. 14) I'm not totally against a F2P model. It works in WoT. But I haven't seen any ideas yet that would work in Eve. No skilling on free characters would be a bad idea imo. |

I've added your suggestion, but I was expecting you'd write nothing if you wanted to keep all of the options.
Hirana Yoshida wrote:14. Huh? So the 120M+ characters with umpteen super capitals at their disposal should be able to affect the game world without paying .. is that what was meant?
Nothing to do with how many sp someone has, the question is aimed at finding out if people would be interested in playing if they only had to pay when training sp. Ie. You could play for free, but you couldn't train skills without reedeming plex and or paying subscription. There are some interesting things that could happen with a system like this but a restriction like trial accounts (you are restricted to how many accounts you can run at once) would potentially negate some problems caused with a system like this aswell as making these accounts exempt from free aurum or reducing free aurum amounts compared to paid/ plexed accounts. However, this idea could help retain players and/or get some new players so it could be beneficial to the game. It would effectively allow some people to play for free.

1) and 4) Microtransactions already existed in EVE before Aurum and the Nex Store came along. A player who pays RL currency for PLEX, sells said PLEX for ISK, and then buys ships or equipment with that ISK has effectively completed a "microtransaction". The ISK would not have been available to the player if not for the payment of RL currency. Adding AUR to the mix is only one additional step. Whether or not this is good for EVE over the long-term remains to be seen.
2) and 5) If you want to split hairs, technically, anyone who buys a PLEX, sells it for ISK, and then buys ships or equipment with that ISK could be argued to have an ingame advantage. Who is to say whether they ever could have acquired the ship(s) or equipment if not for the sale of PLEX? Possibly they would have been limited to less expensive (and thus less effective) versions of that equipment, or none at all. Some players may not have the time/resources/desire/etc to obtain costly items through grunt work but suddenly find these items in reach via PLEX. So, this technically means transactions for "ingame advantage" are already allowed. However, I would like the Nex Store to be limited to Cosmetic Only.
14) I think this is a silly question. There is always something worth training in EVE, thus characters generally always have their queue active if the player is active. Thus, people would always be paying. What difference is made then? Sakaane

A clarification for question #5): PLEX does not give only one player an advantage, and that is why I've answered "No". PLEX gives: - ISK to the player selling the PLEX - game time to the player buying the plex - ISK to many players that are making and/or selling in-game items on the market, since the seller of the PLEX needs the ISK to buy something from other players
A simple "5) Do Plex give players an ingame advantage?" is not good enough to get the relevant results. |

Vanity. Weapons are ok as long as a) they are not game breaking and they are small (like sidearms that can be used inside the stations).
3) List any of the following choices that you would like to see removed from the game
I'll tell you what I want to see added... players being able to produce said NeX items.
4) PLEX = Microtransaction?
If you're asking for the definition of PLEX, yes.
5) Do Plex give players an ingame advantage?
If they're rich, yes.
6) Should the subscription model of eve have changed after the introduction of Aurum and the Nex Store?
I don't know about this one.
7) Have you ever purchased PLEX?
No
8) Have you ever purchased Aurum?
Nope. Now, if sidearms are ever sold (the sort we can actually use inside the stations), then we'll talk.
9) Have you ever purchased anything from the Nex Store?
The boots, using the free 1,000 AUR we received earlier.
10) Have you ever purchased anything that was originally purchased from the Nex Store?
Nope.
11) Do you think the Playerbase has overreacted about the whole Microtransaction Topic?
Yes. No one is forcing them to use MT anyways.
12) Do you feel like the CSM or any individual CSM member has fairly represented your views on Microtransactions, Aurum and the Nex Store?
Barely
13) Do you think that buying a pre-trained character is like being able to purchase skillpoints?
Yes
14) Would you play eve if you only had to pay a subscription fee when you wanted to train skills?
Not sure.
15) Have you ever voted in a CSM election?
Yes

I want to clarify #2: I would be fine with being able to buy gameplay items via MT, so long as those items could be manufactured in-game as well. I *do not* want to ever see faction or MT-only items in the NeX because that WOULD be game-changing by diluting the market or conferring advantage. I have no problem with microtransactions. I'm a big fan of Team Fortress 2 and that game has made an art of the right way to run a MT store.
I'd really like to see the ability to purchase skill points with PLEX. As a younger player, it's impossible for me to compete with 8-year-old players. It's bad enough that they have near-bottomless wallets and sit atop massive alliance, but they've been training skills since before I even heard of this game. Other MMOs cap levels to prevent this sort of ever-widening gap between the veterans and the newbies; Eve needs to give us the ability to close that gap *within reason*.
I was unaware of the existence of the CSM last election. CCP doesn't do a very good job of letting players know they exist; you pretty much have to come to the forums to find out about them unless someone else tells you. |

From my answers, it may seem I am a CCP brown-noser, and that I agree with the Incarna roll out as I support micro transactions, I support the inclusion of the Nex Store, I support PLEX purchases.
I do not begrudge CCP for exploring a marketing technique many many video game companies are using with great success.
What I fundamentally disagree with though, is the way CCP rolled out this last expansion. I think Nex store items should be much lower price points and destructible, and in some part, player created. I think more consultation should have existed before rolling out these new features.
As it exists now, the Nex store is a huge anomaly in the player driven economy of Eve. |

Notes: 7) No, unless you mean with ISK in game, which is YES, but I assume you mean with $.
Further comments: You should ask IF we would buy stuff from the NeX if everything was 1/10 or less the current price and destructible (as we were told they'd be with Pods at least), with the PLEX/AUR exchange rate being the same. We have a blog, it is terrible. How to fix Bounty Hunting |

My main beef with these "microtransactions" is that there's nothing micro about them. Many of the items for sale in the NEX cost more than the EvE game itself. Many of the clothing items for sale cost more than RL clothing. |

While I'm OK with the general idea of Incarna, the choice to shift to a MT Model in it's implementation was CCP shooting themselves in the foot.
The pricing structure being more Macro than Micro just means that they picked a bigger gun for shooting themselves in the foot with. |
