I'd say that yes, every new game feature should have a completely optional monetization aspect that carries no benefit than allowing you to access things faster. Because that means the game can make money without having to entertain really awful ideas that are distinctly pay-to-win. If you do not want the monetization component, do not buy the things, and it does not affect you, because it is not pay-to-win.
There are improvements every release that do not involve monetization at all. Before the current team, boosters got you SP 50% faster, which meant that even booster people aren't that far ahead. Now it's up to 150% (or 300% with Omega), so even that doesn't work as an excuse anymore lol
Simple trading will fix that, Cat. I firmly believe that simple trading will massively drive aur sales. That would mean that finally, there is honestly nothing that cannot be bought with isk.

It's a terrible idea because it limits how freely aur buying players can sell their aur goodies for isk. That means it slows down mt sales. That means less money for ccp. That means it isn't going to happen. Got it, get it? done.

The game is monetizing so fricking hard you could think it has a triple A developer behind it.
Instead we have a tiny team that, while I understand is working their asses off, are asking far too much for what they're bringing to the table.
Maybe bring some people in with all of that Aurum?
Or maybe move in people into DUST from Legion, because one is dead weight right now and the other is being enjoyed by people at moment and is making money, while being the healthiest it has ever been.
How big is dust's coding team right now? 6-7 people? That small team is working on improving the gameplay, thus increasing aur sales, which means they can afford more members, which means they can work on improving gameplay faster, which means they can sale aur faster, which means more members... dat cycle brozki
