Interesting little point for everyone to ponder:
PlanetSide's (lack of) Profits
DUST's finances (while still prolly terrible) don't comparatively seem so incredibly terrible now.
And THAT is lulz-worthy to me.
Why are all of you so intellectually inept?

Dust is probably making money right now. Millions and millions of dollars? No. Enough to keep the lights on and then some? Yes.
I think CCP should focus on improving the game and the NPE now. We have reached our saturation point with this monetization. The encrypted strong boxes are all well and good, the boosters, AUR gear, respecs, in-quarters space strippers companions. All fine.
But if CCP continues to stack the AUR sales attempts... we're going to have a problem. A big problem.
TL;DR - Put CCP Z back in box for a while. Make the game higher quality and more people will buy AUR. Don't add more AUR purchases.

I don't get what SOE doesn't understand.
Nobody wants to spend up to $7, just to unlock a gun. So nobody does spend the money.
If they became reasonable and reduced the prices of guns and upgrades down to $1-2 a price, people would actually spend money on them.

Personally, my view on monetization, is that it's fine if new features have optional monetization components, provided they are not game-breaking. A big thing I'm also hoping for, is for trading to allow players to buy AUR items from other players for ISK.

A big thing I'm also hoping for, is for trading to allow players to buy AUR items from other players for ISK. You add too many AUR options in too many places and you hurt immersion immensely. There are only so many times I can be presented with an AUR option before I go, "Okay, I don't feel like an immortal space mercenary anymore. I feel like a customer. I don't play this game to feel like a customer."
