People will pay out the ass to make themselves look pretty, just look at League of Legends and Planetside 2.
In the case of Planetside 2, people will completely ignore how broken and pointless your game is if they can make thesmelves a soldier with leopard camo and MLG branded on their helmet. This.
It's really so obvious to me that i wonder why the game has made it out of beta without some powerfull customization/vanity concept. It was said in closed beta that BPOs with alternative colors where just placeholders for something.
Now they're getting removed as a revenue stream and the closest thing to a (potentionally superior) replacement is nowhere to be found.

Faction Warfare.
They said at EVE: Vegas that what we now have as AURUM suits with camo schemes and stuff will be available in the LP store for Faction Warfare. People who don't have any LP or don't want to play for any can just buy them with AURUM.
That means that even outside a player market, all those suits will be available with or without money.
I thought they'd be more akin to the AUR stuff we used to have, since lower fitting reqs were mentioned, and work similar faction mods in EVE, i.e. same/better performance for less requirements at a much higher ISK cost.
Anyway. Those few camos and varying shades of green/black are not my primary concern:
The issue is. For every suit/gun, there's between 0 and, say 6 variations that are not the standard 3 tiers. Yet most of those are not viable in [insert gamemode here], too expensive for [insert gamemode here] and/or limited and thus mostly collectibles.
I'd say that there really is no proper visual customization whatsoever in Dust right now, even with these few variants. AUR gear is used for bragging rights or for practical considerations.
We need actual customization that allows me change the suits/weapons color/camo to what i want it to be, within certain limits.
