Updated list:
BPO/ QUAFE
Great success. For the first time, a real success in cosmetic monetization in dust. The key here was that the suits are standard and combined with the fact that there already were similar versions of them they did not break the game. Also, the color scheme was etched in people's mind as something fabulous and different.
Very little effort to design, great income.
BPO / APEX
By terms of money, medium success. However, gameplaywise contains risks as they might affect future updates. For example, some might become overpowered in course of updates. Also, changes in fitting numerics are likely to break some of them which in turn requires a deal of workhours to fix, not to mention public outcry while waiting for the said fix (that's the problem of prefitted suits)
SP BOOSTER
A cornerstone. However, the importance is slowly fading as the SP race is slowly fading away as vets realise they don't need that 200th M SP.
Temporary spike in November as the accidental trip omega 3+ M SP per week happened.
AUR ITEMS
Fail. After each character reset they had users but with great likelyhood the usage goes way down as isk variants satisfy the needs. One of earliest AUR concepts and never met the expectations.
RESPEC
Expected to be a fairly good income source for months to come. Huge initial boost.
FACTION BOOSTER
(I have no idea if people use these. My guess would be that only a few)
EOM BOOST
Fail due to pricing. Of course it's okay to open with higher price and then lower it. But pricing really isn't competitive, the smallest boost has best AUR to SP ratio, and even it can't compete with single day booster.
Fun fact, allowing triple stacked boosters neuters EOM boosting as a product. All but the triple boosted dudes should rather use a active booster.
KEYS
A Very innovative design, which implemented correctly would generate a fever to open the boxes. Has great potential for future sales. One mistake is the huge influx of strongboxes, it underlines too much "open open open give your moneyyyyh".
Also, items are hard to use. One detail about that is that AUR items are so hard to use on your suits, isk variants would really fit into assets and be useful. Now doing the effort of swapping isk gear to free aur variants in fittings just is not worth it.
MISSION REFRESH
Harmless extra option. Good customer service as it allows players to circumvent the annoyance of some mission otherwise.
People would enjoy Dust a lot more if they accepted the fact that EVERYTHING is subject to change
