[PROPOSAL] NEX Items

Okay, okay, I know, rehashing old story, but the NEX lacks items that people actually want. I think a list of **** that people want would actually be a good thing for CCP to see. Suggestions I've seen:
- Hats
- Corp Logos on Ships
- Custom Color Schemes on Ships
- Dogtags for Military Characters (either by school or FW)
- Dress Uniforms by Faction
- Medal plaques for CQ
- Decorum for CQ

And while we're at it, why not run a contest or two to have players create items that could be sold at the NEX. Sure, they're vanity items, but there are people that will still pay for them by either buying PLEX from CCP, or buying PLEX in game to purchase them (think of the potential ISK sink). Not to mention, then more items would be made available on the market to help stabilize the economy just a bit more.

Definitely more Decorum needed, I was over at an 0din party at Tors CQ last night and things got pretty rowdy...

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

I am sure they will add more NEX items when time permits. It sure isn't going anywhere since DUST will rely on Aurum to a degree but I would rather they focus on actual WiS content and developement before NEX items.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

Those two are pretty much already confirmed.

And im pretty positive they are going to make more clothing items. And yes, it would be nice to see those in-game before more walking in stations turns up. Otherwise though, I'm pretty sure things like these are in the pipelines anyway.

As such, this proposal seems pretty much obsolete.

to be fair, no one makes you buy next stuff with cash, you can buy plex ingame and use it for arum,
or buy it off the market after the initial price goes down for straight isk.

that being said, i would prefer a significant drop in arum price for Next store items, they still haven't gotten to a level of quality that the price would imply (lrp wise) in comparison to the rest of the clothes already available in the character creator.

In game there are a good number of items that are listed but not available, they've been there for a while, id like for them to be released, at reasonable prices. but yes, there are a good many items that would still need to be designed and released.

CCP's track record implies don't hold your breath, several years is a long time not to breathe.

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

**** the NeX. They know exactly what will happen if they add more, there will be an unrecoverable shitstorm of bad publicity.CCP as a company will lose at least 5-% of it's players.

Hopefully you're part of that 5%

Those rich people already can just buy PLEXes and get better ships and equipment - they will fly a better ships, use better implants, will lose it and buy it again. They're can also have more accounts and computers than an ordinary pilot.

It'll be nothing new about that. So what's your problem? Smile

But it's a very good thing!

Less shitposters = a much more pleasant gameplay = more subscribers = proffit!

That is actually the stupidest thing ive read today. Your saying that if CCP add nex items 5% of players will quit? Why would they? If people dont want anythng to do with Aurum and the nex store (and i certainly dont) then they just wont, it wont make them quite Eve you idiot.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.
