Persecution of the visually (and fashion sense) impaired is wrong.

There is no reason at all why you can't show kindness to the monocle wearer... such as not moving quickly (as many suffer from pixelation headaches), or removing all mirrors when one comes to visit.

If this sort of discrimination continues I will be forced to notify the ADA (Amarrian Disabilities Association).

You should be ashamed of yourselves...

I die a little every time I see a toon with a monocle, or goggles, or anything from the NeX store. Ugh

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

I have a monocle because I'm famous.

Edit: My wife says I'm famous because I have a monocle.

To be fair, I got my toons some stuff from the NeX store with the "free" AUR that we were given.

So I don't mind it that much.

But monocle wearers I just feel sorry for, because they feel the only way they can get any feel of superiority is to pay a ton of ISK/Cash for it.

And TBH I get upset because I know for that monocle to be spawned some PLEX got deleted. And PLEX are only created by people buying them from CCP (Or secure 3rd party vendor)

You can't turn your monocle back into AUR and you can't turn your AUR back into a PLEX. It's a 1 way transaction that inflates the prices of PLEX for everyone and people treat it as a joke.

When actually the people buying monocles are just making the game more expensive for themselves and everyone else. They are in a sense, making suckers out of us all.

Oh!... I am SO embarrassed!... I thought that was a "bulls-eye" for a head-shot! - Ugh

Ugh ...I hope they do a "pirate eye-patch" soon, now that would be worth the Aur... YARRRRRRR!!!! - Pirate, come to think of it then we could use the piraticaled monocles for "filler" in our empty, souless, cruel missing sockets... *plays that Jeepers, Creepers... where did you get them eyes!!!*

...moving along, I hope there is a HAG5 cat for most Monocles as well as the standard Hulks and such.. once can only hope!

Updated: Monocles are for people who got enough free AUR tokens to not pay for one.

I know right. And yet so many people rallied against the exorbitant pricing.

Even the pro industry people complained about the monocle and the NeX while CCP are handing them out to potential customers behind their backs.

I wear a monocolol to make a statement. I just haven't decided if that's u mad? or u jelly?

Monocles are for people who either like the look, want to support CCP, or both. And that really sheds perspective on the people that complain about them. Because people that want others to play in the sandbox a certain way and people who WANT CCP to fail are the scum of the Earth.

I suspect from the Proto-tears of the Monocled that this could yield sweetened tears during HAG5... I think I shall do speaks with others on the entry for most "Monocle Kills" - they should obviously make manditory PKs, or they are not going to be sweet enough...

What would make a good reward to the winner? Factional gear? Plex? ISK? etc? I think there is a moment here for great art and creative EVE potential as an entry in HAG.

wonder if it could be a solo event as well? nah... best to have it as a side show on HAG... sort of a door-prize.... but with a great reward and oh the tears shall be grand I can tell just from the "cyclopean" commentary so far.

Pirate - YARRRRRR.... me patch needs some filler of shine and swag of a one-eye!!!

There was lot of talk at the beginning how monocle guys will die in fire. I even got some mails about it.

Still waiting that happen, i've been quite inactive lately so that may affect also some.

my monocle is worth more than your ship, U JELLY?

Not really, firstly, I have several ships far more expensive than that, though they don't account for more than a few percent of my holdings. That said, I see the monocle as more of a symbol of shame than anything, a symbol of what hopefully will be EvE's lowest point.

Though most importantly, why would I blemish such a cute face with such an object? Roll

I fully support WiS and Character customization, however the NeX should be removed and replaced with proper gameplay for such items.
