Must have assless chaps!

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

Hmmm implants do it. Monocle describes itself as an implant. Yet its invulnerable. As for "other clothing in the game" I'm guessing you mean the default clothing.

Flavour text =/= item type. The flavour text for the monocle also says "the Looking Glass monocle interface offers advanced vision augmentation beyond the capabilities of all comparable prosthetics or upgrades." but when I equip it my vision isn't augmented at all. Why? Because it's flavour text and is just there to give the game more depth.

Easiest solution chuck it all in the character designer. Slightly more complicated - introduce rarer stuff through the factional loyalty point stores and/or rat drops.

Better solution, combination of the above with player industry to research and manufacture these things perhaps having extremely rare pigments/garments attracting top isk on the player market because they are well, genuinely rare (as opposed to being at the click of every sucker with a CC)

How does that promote MT? Oh wait. It doesn't which is the sole reason for the Noble Exchange.

I don't think you've been paying attention to these forums! But that said, sure, I do probably feel a little more sensitive this year than most years on my RL income because I've put all my worldly wealth into a fixer upper new house, but its not about me really. My point is that people play games to relax and suspend their disbelief. Being continually reminded of the bank account balance to purchase virtual clothing in game is just a slap in the face really. Especially when the $ price on the virtual clothing is combined with gameplay detriment and a less value for money in your basic subscription.

Citation still needed. I've still never seen someone insulted on the basis of not owning a Noble Exchange item.

Well you aren't really trying to follow them otherwise you'd see why the ISK->PLEX->Aurum is such a problem by denying traditional gameplay in eve online for starters. As for the rest, well, have a deeper think about it is my best advise.

Traditional gameplay? Please enlighten me.

That's the problem: CCP got the idea with the PLEX for Remap débàcle. Then they forgot that lesson less than six months later. This bout of industrial-grade amnesia got them the Jita riots, the mass unsubs, and 20% layoffs… so I give them about 12 months before they forget it this time, especially with NeX remaining as a constant reminder of what a “good” idea they have that might be iterated on…

Honestly, tell me without lying, do you think they'll try again? I know CCP have made some mistakes in the past that were stupid (with the Noble Exchange being one of the biggest) but CCP isn't run by braindead idiots with no idea about business.

How did they introduce T3, Tier-3 BCs, Orcas, PI CCs, CONCORD equipment, Noctium, SBUs, and any of the other stuff that has been added in recent years?

Vanity items =/= T3, Tier-3 BCs, Orcas, PI CCs, CONCORD equipment, Noctium, SBUs or any of the other stuff that has been added in recent years. Why? Microtransactions. CCP aren't going to introduce something that is meant to be bought with real money in the same way they introduced something that is meant to be bought with ISK.

Nex is soooo unpopular, but I think they should sell real-life eve store goods for Aurum !
