Edited by: General Xenophon on 01/07/2011 02:16:57 Instead of creating a new currency for Eve and call it AUG, why not just simply remove that term and that currency and instead sell the 'vanity items' for isk? It might also help remove the large number of Plex already bought and waiting to be sold, creating a demand for more Plex and hopefully creating a further profit from CCP. This may not be the same profit as a strict 'free to play' item shop might generate, but it could serve as a compromise - as long as the idea of keeping 'instant ships generated without any industry involvement' is prevented.
Should please the 'PLEX isn't MT' and the 'PLEX is MT' crowds by going back to a system which needed some tweaking anyway and building upon it.

Of course that's the right answer - unless you feel that the business model can be more profitable through microtransactions... and the only reason you'd expect Microtransactions to be more profitable? If you expect the game to have a shorter life expectancy.
By definition - MTs reduce the life expectancy of a game because they allow players to reach "the end game" quicker than if there were no MTs.

the only difference is that in the last 3, CCP gets some cash out of it. There are no gameplay changes, only changes in which the monocle is purchaced. You are just whining because you dont like the idea of ccp making more money. Well, stop playing the game then.

This is only true if you ignore potential changes to subscriptions. In a game where many people pay $15/month for years - It takes a fair number of PLEX converted to AUR to cover each account that leaves.

Bad idea OP because this would not force anyone into the PLEX market. Nobody is going to buy a PLEX to get new pants for their toon unless CCP forces them to. The rich would just buy MT items with their already huge ISK.

Its basically such that 100% of NEX store purchases must originally have been bought for cold hard cash when the plex (which may have been traded to you for isk) was first created by the GTC.
If it weren't for that, store items could be bought with in-game means exclusively.

Selling vanity stuff for silly amounts of RL money is fine.
What has people up in arms is that there are proven documents that CCP was seriously thinking of selling non-vanity stuff for RL money.
PLEX is bad enough, but at least it has a few virtues. AUR for no non-vanity has all the flaws of PLEX and none of its virtues.
PLEX needs no company.
Play nice while you butcher each other.
