By this point I'd say that it's passed my original title, it's not blowing out of proportions, it's becoming utterly ridiculous. For everytime i see a new whinning post of revolts, i feel more tempted to buy a monocle. I bet I will.
Everyone running for their 2 seconds of glory I guess.
I like White Tree last post although I dont like and dont believe a second on the CSM importance since its inception. But his lines are wise:

"CCP isn't really an enemy to me and hey I'm sorry if you don't like that. CCP isn't infallible, they've boned this one, yeah I'm going to tell you that because its the truth. But they've never been infallible, so its our job to make sure that we steer them in the right direction because without the community Captaining this great ship to her ports of call we're all going to sink.

So what I'm asking you for now, as your CSM, as a member of the community and as an EVE player is a moment of patience. They know they fumbled the ball and they're calling half-time to sort their heads and we're going to be the coach that gives them the pep talk and sets them straight so that we, the denizens of New Eden can continue to enjoy this entirely unique and intricate experience. "

Let's hope something good comes out of it.

white tree won a lot of respect from me for that post but you are still a shocking regressive state-monopolist for even considering buying a vanity item that was not produced by players using in-game materials!

"Down with plutocratic ingrates drunk on the teat of protectionist monopolies!"

(if Jade sees revan wearing a monocle she's going to start wearing a raggedy tee-shirt and ripped pants in protest solidarity with the good comrades in the people's revolutionary commitee in Jita!)

This will raise in interesting quandry for you if CCP introduces ripped pants in the NeX store ... [/joke]

[Revan Neferis]

Proudly!
I still want an Opux Yatch too.

You just made my temptation increase. Consider the monocle a true fetish now.

[Jade Constantine]

be wary otherwise it'll turn into a ripped ... metallica tee-shirt!

If they reduce the cost of that monocle to 1/70th of its current price i'd buy everyone one. 

[Outlaw Jenner]

Way I see it... the cost is prohibitive to prevent flooding of the item to just everyone. Only those that can afford it, and not just in the terms of having the funds available at the time, but actually have a surplus of ISK will purchase it. I see it as a challenge, and it's one I readily met becasue at the end of the day it is just pixels, if you cant afford it why bother discussing it.

Besides, Revan would look smashing with one

Indeed.  The perceived value is based largely on the price tag. 

[Kaleigh Doyle]

Hey I know, crazy idea here, but why not make these items buildable using PI? >.>

You know, making a whole new industry and a reason for PI.

Now now, that's the way to convince a woman... 

Temptation increased to 100 %. Monocle it is.

Then everyone could have them and they wouldn't be as cool.

I didn't realize skirts were more complex to replicate than starships >.>

[Seriphyn]

True enough that a monocle being 1 billion stops everyone having monocles and "whoops there goes my immersion and everyone looking silly" (to me anyway, lol).

But skirts are not some damned luxury!

Wait till you find out what that billion isk makes that skirt capable of and you will change your mind...

[Rao Kappa]

I'm amused at how this whole back and forth over the monocle on the forums has inadvertently created yet another meta aspect to EvE gaming.

People are gearing up to hunt monocle wearers, who are buying monocles to irritate and goad the other players who in turn add these wearers to a KOS list that only encourages the monocle wearers to goad the non-monocle wearers even more, who also enlist even more non-monocle wearers to the monocle wearers clan in hopes of expanding this conflict to an even greater degree against the non-monocle wearers.

*whew*

The funny thing is, these non-monocle wearers through course of their protest, might be assisting CCP in their MT goals. I'm sure, had this stink not arisen from the forums, sales of the monocle would have been significantly less.

The protest has turned this little, over priced bundle of pixels from useless junk to status symbol and item of protest in what's becoming the 'WAR FOR CCP'S SOUL!.'

Okay, that's a little melodramatic, but you get the gist.
