Rather than the nonsense of the aborted free to play secondary AUR currency, that remains within Eve. I'd like to see the removal of AUR completely from the game. In the wake of USD 1000$ pants and 80$ monocles, you had the sense to Doomheim Darmad Cirshan, now remove the Free to play inspired currency.

Alongside this - I'd like to advocate for the ability / Feature of players to use PI, to employ and foster various fashion development economies on planets, much as they do to generate various fuels and planet born goods that are used by players.

The ability to "inspire" fashion designers on planets, much as one "researches" BPO's would be great!

Further, the ability to purchase strictly-NPC generated fashion, ship skins, visual modifications all of which are permanent and non-lossable? Loyalty points. Eve's secondary currency that is a product of player actions and player activity.

MIcro transactions almost kill your game?


well worry not just get rid of walk in stations and put your game into stasis for a few years with a couple of balencing passes

Microtransactions, no. One of the primary issues here really is the lack of player ability to generate an item type. In this case WiS / fashion items which magically appear via the re-branded NeX.

There aren't any BPO's / stitching patterns for WiS / Space Barbie fashion. You can't involve yourself in PI or similar planet based R&D activities. You just spend AUR. You don't even spend LP and Sink some ISK in the purchase process actively aiding the overall isk : faucet balance.

There are no research and development (inspiration?) / production chains.
