Well, After looking through the massive piles of threads on upset people myself included about this whole merc pack fiasco ( selling us the same thing again with added stuff in a limited window.. oh while increasing the cost for everyone outside of using USD) and not hearing a single thing from the GMs on adressing it I have decided 7 years is enough. It was a fun run ccp. My eve account sub has been canceled, and my dust merc will be deleted and Dust514 will be removed from my ps3. Good luck to your future, carry on this path and you will really need it.
Flame all you want, ask me for my stuff, call me a child.. I don't care.
Enough is enough, and I have had enough.

See people, this is how you show a company you are upset. Stop giving them money and vote with your feet. I don't agree with OP but maybe he will show some character and do what he says. Enough people get this upset and there will be changes, QQing on forums only gets you so far. |

Ok, let me get this strait.
You have the Merc Pack already.
You don't want to buy the new pack they are offering with a few gimmick suits.
You want the suits.
Something about an increase of the price for merc pack for all non USD transactions?
And you're gone.
I really hope this is just the latest in a long line of atrocities they have struck you with because this sounds to me alot like buying bananas Monday and complaining to the store when they have bananas buy one get one free on Tuesday. You still got the bananas you agreed to pay for, for the price you agreed to pay. |

I am curious on why this is such a big deal. What do you complain to companies that decide to have a special deal and put 2 shampoo in a single box for the same price as the single shampoo container you purchased not too long ago? |

I remember some guy on the eve online forums with a special expensive digital shirt. Bear with me on this one.
This shirt was originally only obtainable as part of a "special offer" where you spent over $100 on some other thing and got this shirt as a bonus. He started a rage thread about how this shirt suddenly became worthless because CCP made it available for purchase quite a while later in its infamous cash shop for 1000 aur, which pretty much everybody had in their wallet from one of it's free AUR promotions. The multi-billion isk shirt, which was so valuable because only a small number of people shelled out the $100+ "required" to get it as part of a promotion, was suddenly being sold by the hundreds for <20 million a pop.
So this guy, and the other owners of the rare collector's shirt, were pretty pissed. It turned out it was added to the shop "by accident" and CCP eventually decided to make a peace offering in the form of giving the owners of the "original" shirts some swanky digital leather coat.
Cool story, right? Here's the point: the second most common argument in that thread was "YOU GOT WHAT YOU PAID FOR IDIOT, it was a PROMOTIONAL ITEM for a SPECIAL OFFER! :smug: :smug: :smug:" (the most common argument was "LMFAO YOU CARE ABOUT A DIGITAL SHIRT")
Despite that, technically, they were under no obligation to do anything whatsoever CCP went out of their way to type a few dev commands and say "we appreciate that you gave us a lot of money, we're sorry you feel this way, here's a dumb kittening jacket for your space barbie now stfu and gtfo". Because they cared.
The guys calmed down, people forgot about it, and all it took was giving a couple of worthless digital items to the affected persons.
Now some guys are upset that they aren't getting some promotional items because they spent money to support the game too quickly. The game is not even out yet, and CCP is doing the dumbest possible marketing thing they could possibly do (ARMCHAIR INTERNET GUY PRETENDS TO KNOW MORE THAN AN ENTIRE COMPANY FULL OF PEOPLE): making their customers feel dumb for spending money.
Literally the same mercenary pack with the same amount of aurum, the same items, at the same price is being touted as "new" because NOW if you buy it THIS WEEKEND ONLY you get "$6" worth of bonus dropsuits! What if you already per-ordered the mercenary pack before they thought to tack on some more promotional fluff?
"**** off, you got what you paid for: pre-release subject to change items for an unreleased game."
This entire thing would be a complete non-issue if CCP didn't take the above ****** attitude and instead decided to give the promotional items to the people who already spent money on their unreleased game.
No rage threads, no CCP silently deleting said rage threads, no customers who are going to be constantly wary about spending money on anything when CCP is going to turn around and offer the same thing next week with more stuff while telling their older customers to go cry in a corner.
It's not about the money, it's about sending a message. |

Op has a very valid point about currency
Its a joke that in Australia I had to pay 29.95 for each merc pack, even though the Aussie dollar is worth more than the us dollar.
Effectively, ccp are getting around 35usd from Aussies who buy this pack
I've not even enjoyed the beta that much, but I've bought two merc packs and 50000 aurum in the hope it gets better in the future....
It is a pity that ccp want to rip off Aussies though.
Sony, for PS2 charges the same in Aussie dollars as US dollars for their pre launch bundle called "Alpha pack". 19.99 in USA and Australia.
Why can't ccp be fair to Australians? |

please please please quit this and all games. you never know when any of them may have a promotion that somehow you might feel slighted over because you are entitled to stuff you didn't actually buy. Those corporate raiders CCP should be so ashamed of themselves for trying to make money. my god what is the world coming to. CCP has no heart they are denying poor souls like the OP and others who have agreed with him in this thread an extra digital good they probably added to the merc pack since it wasn't selling as well as they wanted. how dare CCP use sound marketing principles to try and increase the sales of merc packs.
would you entitlement morons stfu and please just quit this game and more importantly stop posting this whiny **** constantly in the forum (or posts asking where are the patch notes, why no news, when is next build). nobody owes your stupid butt crap. you bought the merc pack at the wrong time just chalk it up to you are an unlucky idiot but you probably knew that already.
so since the price of the merc pack went up don't you owe CCP more money since you bought it before the price hike. oh yeah that's right they owe you the new drop suits they put in it but you don't have to pay the extra money cause, Yew awe spwecial.
man I am so tired of these kind of threads. please CCP I promise to buy 3 more merc packs this month (I already bought one before this promo about a week ago) if you will start locking and deleting these kind of bull crap threads there is no need for 10 complaint threads with the same dumbdonkey logic trying to justify the OP whining like a female dog. |

actually the current conversion rate is
29.95 Australian dollars = 31.0671 US dollars not 35 like you are saying.
perhaps it costs them more to support the Australian battle servers since they expect a smaller audience than the us market (I might be wrong but isn't Australia smaller than the US and have quite a bit fewer people). maybe CCP is trying to be a profitable company.
oops again darn it I am using logic. I gotta quit doing that.

No you'd be using moroseness. Logic escapes you.
Even if the rate calculation was a bit off, there is no justification for the additional approx 12 bucks over US prices, for a digital download.
Your assertion that it costs more to supply the game is Australia, based on your simplistic premise of market population, totally misses the point that digital distribution and centralised support avoids the high supply chain costs that are normally associated with such markets when distributing products via a traditional supply chains and decentralized support.
Tl/Dr - Australians get ripped off on IT products in general, that is why our govt is holding an enquiry to get it stopped and that is why some people have already reported psn as rip off merchants to that enquiry....
