Now I am going to play devil's advocate here.
For years as a community, much like other games, we have been demanding or asking "politely", whichever way you put it, for the option to play Crayons for our ships, for years CCP has deemed this not worthy of attention and or "pointless" due to their "skins" market.
So now with Equinox, we get what we have been asking, for the hype is massive, people are psyched and excited beyond belief, but then it drops, PLEX, is required to make this happen. So the question is why? Why do we now have to spend IRL cash to buy PLEX or hundreds of millions of ISK in-game just to colour our ships in?
New players certainly cannot afford PLEX in-game and in this day and age of the cost of living crisis gripping the world, not to mention people who use the F2P accounts because their IRL budgets to live and cannot afford the subscriptions, cannot take part in this.
So as a very high-ranked player and a partner said "I think you answered it yourself, we wanted it for so long they know they can monetize it".
So is SKINR a good idea or just another money grab from CCP, using one of our longest-standing wishes to be able to express ourselves in-game, to force us to spend more of our IRL cash, to do this?
How does the Eve-O community on here feel about SKINR?
