Ships skins will -if they are coming at all- only be available via NeX store.
This is guaranteed, because this is the thing that could make the most money for CCP. In fact, if they stay true to not introducing P2W, this is currently the only thing that could generate a noticeable income.

I got lost in thought... it was unfamiliar territory.

The moment textures hit space via the NeX, is the same moment i unsub. Every company has gone down the p2w or pay to advance faster slope(with a few incredibly rare exceptions), CCP won't be different.

I certainly bloody-well hope so!

Uh... you do know a different ship skin won´t make your ship stronger or faster or anything that could help you with the game?
So how it is P2W?
I think you are confused...

When they put Dust BPOs/BPCs to NeX store and we'll get to milk ISK from Dustmites you'll wish you had more free Aurum to buy those BPOs/BPCs... Roll

Dunno, I think the resulting exodus of players from the game would make them worthless.
If theres noone here to buy the stuff...

Considering amount of players who left the game after monoclegeddon those new clothes will be unavailable for years because

a) during last couple years CCP almost abandoned EVE;

b) most likely NeX is a taboo now and

c) considering insane prices of present semi-ugly pixelclothing in NeX I guess those not-so-ugly pieces cost $50-200 in aurum equivalent and their appearance within the game will spark yet another monoclegeddon while CCP's "greed is good" management can't just let them go for like 1-2k aurums.

I wonder, how does PLEX give you anything that isn't achievable through gameplay, again?

WoT gold can be accumulated through regular gameplay, too.

TF2 MT items also drop via regular play and can be traded with other players.

Turbine Points in LOTRO can be earned via in-game achievements.

It's pretty common to make any gameplay affecting items that you want to sell via MTs (in the case of CCP - everything) also available through (excruciatingly painful) in-game grinds - guess it puts players' minds at ease with rgds to "fairness" and makes picking up the game easier to rationalize ("I won't have to spend any money on this if I don't want to").

This? Again? Really?

1. Plex hasn't been around for nine years, more like 3-4

2. P2W is a completely different system, where the game is free while offering what EvE residents have come to call 'Gold Ammo' for cash, giving you an unfair advantage.

3. I can make any isk i could've bought with plex in any number of ways, all I need to do is put in the hours. P2W, as mentioned above, means no matter how long I grind, I'll be at a disadvantage.

TLDR?
Plex isn't P2W, it's pay to save me time, which makes sense considering the game is aimed at an adult playerbase, many of which have jobs, family, and responsibilities.

Without some kind of hub/bar/place to meet other avatars it has almost no purpose but I don't think CCP realize that if they added a hub they would get sales and a large amount of players that log on just to hang out in the hub, Cantinas for everyone!

Because textures are clearly p2w and faster advancement rolled into one non-functional package.

Also, Plex. And before that, GTCs were directly available by ISK.

So you're a little late on the p2w tip, kiddo.

Just what CCP needs: Bandwidth being taken up by players who aren't even playing the game.

In larger numbers than what already happens.

The number of players online means nothing if we can't shoot most of them and they aren't buying spaceships.

Donkeys are useful. The Noble Exchange is a dead cockroach.

I agree. The problem with Incarna was its complete and utter uselessness. Giving us avatars but no way to interact. Ha, ha! And starting with the most depressing looking CQ on top of it.

Anyway, common rooms should not be that hard to implement. Though I wonder how they will look like in Jita. Perhaps a queue!?
And corp/alliance separees. Perhaps a War Room where the managers can be important and show off their NEX clothes along with live feed to the regular corp-grunts´ CQ.

AUR was a mistake period, and I hope CCP takes it out eventually. Noble Exchange is fine, but the **** should cost isk. As it is, it alienates too much of the playerbase. Pay to play while you play to play....
