I spent the 500 AUR the first day of the event on my Gal alt to get him over the line into LR2 and received 0 points for it (and still have not). Others have reported the same. I filed a ticket, but it has not been handled yet. Interestingly, the Loyalty Rank page no longer says you can gain points by "purchasing and spending Aurum", only "purchasing Aurum".
That would be really bad if that was the case. Will check later today and compare "bought" vs "earned" AUR.

Sadly doubt it. The description on the LP page now states "Purchasing Aurum", as The Eristic indicated. This has been updated, which does point to intentionally changed.
This might have been the required "Backend Update" to enable the daily AUR. |

This has been updated, which does point to intentionally changed. This might have been the required "Backend Update" to enable the daily AUR. May very well be. :/ The one thing I do wonder about... How about AUR purchased before this change, but spent after it... I suspect no LR gain from it at all.
I was thinking about this myself, and while I'm not 100% sure, I actually think they covered this. I'm not keeping track of my LP until next level, but I have the feeling it made a small "jump" a few days back.
My suspicion is that they granted LP for all AUR in your wallet (bought before the change), so nothing was lost. Would be nice with a confirmation though
You will still get your LP for the same amount of AUR, but instead of slowly getting it when spending you get everything in bulk when you buy. So technically people that buy AUR will get their LP even faster.
The major downside with this is of course that people (including me) thought the daily AUR would bring new players faster to Loyalty Rank 2 by logging in daily, which will no longer be the case. However, IF CCP wanted to speed up the process, wouldn't it be easier to increase the daily login bonus instead?
The rate of LP for in-game activities needs to increase drastically, so I hope CCP can plug whatever exploits they talk about. As Kain showed, it takes too long time to even reach Level 1, which is discouraging for new players
One thing I can say for sure is you only gain LP for purchased AUR, not AUR gear. So if you pick up the Origin pack on the PSN store which only contains gear and no AUR, you will get 0 LP. The same should be true with the Combat Packs... Worth having in mind when purchasing.
