Man. With so much positive feedback about Black Eagle scouts and how fun they were, you decide to make it an Aurum-Money-Grabbing concept instead of something that would be actually valued by the community?
Super great. I'm done with this game. I've got 19 million isk, who wants it? |

Funny, a business trying to "grab money". Man, I hate these free trade capitalists. Next they'll say they want to pay for their servers, rent, power and even their employees. Why should employees be paid? They should work for free and eat scraps from trash cans like us poor players.
I should go see what games the communists are offering...

That's not the point. They basically turned the event into a marketing device. The intention is wack because it speaks of their priorities for the game. That suit would be better served by being part of the incomplete skill tree rather than an Aurum concept. I don't mind supporting Dust, I was giving them anywhere between 20-50 a month since I've started playing.

Super great. I'm done with this game. I've got 19 million isk, who wants it? Black Friday is an American shopping holiday. An Aurum-Money-Grabbing concept is 100% appropriate!

Good, you're not one of those that play for free and expect the world. I'm getting twitchy with all those running around here and start attacking on sight. I spend about $20 per month as well.
The Black Eagles is an interesting suit. I'd like to see it for sale on the regular market but their marketing people have very little to entice people with at this point as it is. Hopefully it'll become available soon and something else new and interesting will be used to leverage cash sales.

That should be addressed. They have plenty to entice players; they vastly underestimate cosmetic aurum items. Customizing colors on dropsuits, merc quarter upgrades, etc. They don't even have to communicate the value of the cosmetic items to a good portion of their customer base, these are people who would drop more money on cosmetics than they would combat gear. C'est la vie.
I'll wait until 1.8 to start playing again. Hopefully the F2P model improves along with the mechanics of the game. |

I still have all 50 of my black eagle scouts that would gladly sell you all cheap. Now if we only had that player driven marketplace we've been waiting for

See, that too. I would be more 'okay' with the Aurum sales of these sort of items if we had a market place that exchanges isk for Aurum. |

I've got 48 of those black eagle body bags left. How much will that net me in aurum?
Big red button that respecs your SP on demand.

EDIT: They should have never dropped the Warbarge in pub matches, this was the perfect way to advertise cosmetic dropsuits and for players to show them off.
I asked Frame about getting pictures of the cash items so we can see what we would be getting. There is some disconnect there as the art department isn't delivering to marketing. Sounds like the executive producer needs to work his magic and fix that channel.
I'm definitely a sucker for cosmetic vanity items.

CCP's sales would drop (that's all they care about it seems) and then Market BPOs would have truly been ruining the game. Play Starter Suits, build up ISK to buy BPOs, get more ISK using the BPOs, until you have all of them.
Then people from the corps that pay them for being PC active could buy more boosters, gain more SP and just completely own everyone.
