Thankfully? Are you sure? What if WiS increased the subscription base 10x ? More cash to work on Eve for CCP then.
Eve is not going to grow, If they only recycle the existing content. WiS as a whole would improve avatar interaction.
Isn't it strange that 2% female player base is countered by 40% female avatars total?

Must be all furry 2nd-lifers, however you like to label 'em. Lol

Right after Incarna was the only time in the game's history where the number of subscribers dropped dramatically and since CCP announced they were sorry for the disaster and promised to refocus on real Eve content subs have gone up every quarter. WiS almost killed Eve so I don't know why you think it would magically multiply the subscriber base by ten.

The "Greed is Good" memo and the subsequent riots and mass unsubscribing is what did that; not the WiS itself. And the only bad thing that happened about WiS is that it was so much less than what they advertised at the fanfest prior to incarna. Sad I liked the idea- there really isn't anything to do with our avatars ATM, and if we could do stuff in the station, I'd like to at least try it.

Don't be so against new things; they can be fun sometimes Big smile

Actually people were mad because Eve was ignored for two years and all we had to show for it was a room with a couch and a really bad microtransaction store.

Eve is spaceships.

I see your point; but at the same time, CCP is a company- they want(ed?) to make money. They tried to do so in a really flawed way, but they tried. Now I think they cater to the players more, not themselves as much- they're too afraid of the player base up and leaving Big smile So they listen to us a lot more.

What am I looking at? Eyepatches are conspicuous in their absence unless I'm looking at the wrong bit.

You are correct! After the mess of Incarna CCP has done a decent job of listening to their players and focusing on real Eve content and the game is in pretty good shape these days. I would hate to see them go backwards.

I agree that more hairstyles should be offered but think it rather odd to sell them in the NeX shop, or even weirder as spawn drops or LP store items. I do agree with the idea of hats which seems to be on the top of the list here.

I think the idea of AUR played a good part of the failure of the NeX store. I think the prices should have been in ISK, so the shop would have been a bit more in tune with the LP shops. The concept of introducing another currency which could be bought with PLEX and not used elsewhere or exchanged back into PLEX just seems daft.

I'd pay for the following things (with ingame plex obviously) :

More stuff to pimp my avatar look with.
Golden pod.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The AUR makes perfect sense. Why would CCP release stuff that you can buy with isk, when AUR is way better? It makes people buy their PLEX and others buy the bought PLEXs.

Releasing items that offer any kind of advantage over non-aur bought items is horrible. Although, I'd love to have custom skins in eve that cost money. Just imagine the satisfying feeling when he dies to you.

Personally I've always thought that the main failure of the NeX store was that CCP didn't seem to consider what players might actually want to buy, as opposed to what CCP wanted to sell. Which is why we ended up with clothing rather than cool spaceship related stuff.

So what would you consider buying?





plastic versions of all spaceships, even better would be a lego version of the spaceships

want a lego titan

The NeX store is in-game... So you want an in game lego spaceship?

Packages which contain unallocated skillpoints and unique boosters to increase the salvage value on wrecks and the chance to loot deadspace/faction mods.

Just like a real game with microtransactions should do it before it goes free to play and dies ^_^

Female underwear for male characters for true RP cross dressers.

Oh, and the reverse of course for political correctness.

And hats, esp mining helmets.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

The selection of clothes is tiny. Loads and loads more for a start.

Custom ship skins! (in for form of implants much like the "golden pod")

And why not throw in facton and capital ships? I'm sure CCP would love people buying Titans for straight up cash! Shocked

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.
