There are two main options. Progression (SP- boosterd) and ISK (AUR gear if you cant afford it in isk is simply buying ISK with AUR).

Skins, alternate appearances, that kind of thing. Additional aesthetic pieces for dropsuits (like alternative helmets), ammo colourings (blue laser, red laser) etc.
The problem with vanities is a lack of popular appeal in highly competitive FPS activities. Any vanities that draw attention are bad, and camouflage for $$ while everyone else wears a yellow logi suit constitutes a competitive advantage.
In my mind, skill-boosters are just another kind of monthly service fee. Right now they are not fair to poor players, people who may have more free time to grind isk, but lack the rl-funds to stock up on Omega Boosters. If we had a market, I could sell my boosters for ISK instead of buying 'Blisterrain' rifles...I wouldn't have to look like a **** and CCP still gets paid. Win-Win.

If CCP wants to make real money, the offer has to represent a long-term value proposition. Like the BPOs. Despite being clueless about the long term value of unlimited STD equipment with relation to some of the AUR sale items, I bought nearly all of the BPOs. I later found a much better value $$/ISK with the prefitted suits and other sale items (60% off weapons). I have saved nearly a hundred million on MLT and STD equipment because I had blueprints, that's a lot, but not yet worth the money. This is because I have several hundred million ISK worth of AUR prototype gear. If I had known I could buy unlimited 'Remnant IX' suits with my $$, I wouldn't have picked up all of the 'Dren' STD BPOs. My point is, I believed the BPOs would be worth it over the long term, even though it would take me a couple more years of use at my current rates to equal the dollar/ISK value of my more recent AUR purchases.

If I recall correctly, CCP Z already said there would be no AUR gear. I thought I read this too, but was a bit unsure of the wording so chose to leave it out. Good to know someone else was seeing this!  I'll find the post and put it in the OP.
All I saw were buzz words and slogans. I'll repost any specifics if I find them.

Sell us more fitting slots. Start us with 10 custom fitting slots. Charge more $$ for every additional fitting slot, up to 100 or more.

If you listen carefully, he wants to avoid situations where people feel like money was used to defeat them. I'm sure the brilliant plan will be to sell skill boosters, something like +5% to weapon damage ( nothing to be noticeable in the kill feed).

It's already a pain in the ass. I was just trying to suggest things that I would pay real money for.
