Entirely content with the cost of skins and apex suits. These are not handouts, nor are they meant to be something that you derp around for 10 matches to get.
If you want your skins and apex suits, you should be working for them.... or as I've seen some people do, be prepared to spend a few hundred matches afking through faction warfare.

No, it isn't. I get 1600 a win without any boosters for caldari. That's a grand total of 31 wins per skin and I can easily get 10-15 wins IN A DAY if I'm going hard at it. That would make it take less than a week for me to have all the caldari FW skins.
100k per skin is entirely fine.

With the 100k LP pricetag being this high you will see more grind fatigue than you would with 50k LP cost, I assure you. AFK'ing continue to be a problem, possibly even worse than before.

And that's great! I'm proud of you. Please realize that your own experiences with FW are a great deal different that your peers though. Amarr and Caldari FW are typically a massive shitshow.
Yes, amarr and caldari are usually a shitshow and I'm aware that my results are not 'typical. That's got a lot more to do with the nature of faction warfare than anything else.
I do feel however, that skins being priced as highly as they are is a good thing as it gives a motivation to play faction warfare even if there isn't necessarily something like an apex suit that you want. Most people will agree that the price of FW weapons / equipment is absolutely borked and not worth the time, This however provides incentive to people who aren't Omni-soldiers that want all the things.
I am incredibly glad that it will take even someone like me at least a few weeks to get all the LP skins for my primary faction (Not to mention my alt) rather than just having it be a meaningless 'achievement' that people can check off after a week or two.
Yes, it's a '****** progression treadmill'... only if you don't enjoy the slog.

* the soon to be isk in FW might grab a few more people though
A sense of progression, accomplishment or even something to work towards as a goal can provide a reason for doing something. I agree that isk coming back will also help (if it's a non-idiotic amount).
