Buying nex item for your cramped closet barbie doll is akin to buying hats in TF2.

The only people lame enough to do these are carebears, who play with dolls when they think they're alone.


This video is proof that liking such things are for carebears.

I dunno.

Most carebears seem thrifty. They're afraid to lose their ships, and afraid to lose their real world money.

I know a few PVPers who sell plex and really just don't care how much the game costs them. Seems more likely they'd buy NEX items.

Not a forum alt.

Oh I get your plan.
You want CCP to nerf PvP even more so the carebears will flourish and spend even more money in the Nex store.

Nice plan thoroughly evil Lol

On the contrary I believe the nex store is something that should not have happened in the first place.

You don't have to use it, same as I don't have to eat at MankDognuts.

Well that does seem strange. To highlight the fact that CCP would make more money by making the carebears thrive.

Oh is that just regular carebears or does it include nullbears as well?

The plague that terrorizes the modern gaming world is companies who dictate design by demographics charts and sell cheap thrills over real experiences because they know the former is more accessible.

Selling character customization is none of this.

I am a carebear and I don't buy things from Nex. I love playing dress up with barbies (yes had them all my life, now I play with them with my daughters) and with The Sims (fun stuff). But buying stuff on Nex seems as pointless to me as this thread.

If only the NEX sold traditional headgear, I'd drop some cash for a Tricorn hat or even a proper Tophat

But it is, Microtransactions is a system used by Companies like EA games and Nexon to nickel and dime players for things that they should be able to get in the first place by paying subscription.

You can argue that you can get the items by buying a plex with isk and redeeming it for AURUM, making it accessible to people who do not want to pay real money.

But, have you ever wondered by CCP simply doesn't allow you to directly buy aurum with isk in order to get the clothes?

PLEXes can only be obtained using real money in the first place, therefore Aurum can only be obtained with the use of real money, whether it'd be from your pocket or the pocket of someone elses.

I for one find it unacceptable for further money to have to be spent when the game is a subscription based game, not a Free-to-play.
