What would be interesting to see is how these aurum items will be priced in the secondary marketplace? (When I refer to AUR I refer to the one in DUST side.)
Considering that with the same 20Gé¼/$ one can get PLEX that is approximately worth 550-600mil ISK with current market prices. (4.1.2013)
Going with 560mil that would be 560mil ISK / 20Gé¼ = 28mil ISK/Gé¼
Now in PSN Store that 20Gé¼ one gets 40,000 AUR. That is 40,000 AUR / 20Gé¼ = 2,000 AUR/Gé¼ or 1 AUR = 0.0005Gé¼
If we derive how much ISK is 1 AUR from these we get 1 AUR = 14,000 ISK ( 28,000,000 ISK / 2,000 AUR = 14,000 ISK/AUR)
(ISK values are derived from PLEX sale price)
1 AUR = 14,000 ISK 10 AUR = 140,000 ISK 50 AUR = 700,000 ISK 100 AUR = 1,400,000 ISK 500 AUR = 7,000,000 ISK 1,000 AUR = 14,000,000 ISK 5,000 AUR = 70,000,000 ISK 10,000 AUR = 140,000,000 ISK
7-day Passive Booster 7000 AUR = 98,000,000 ISK
1-day Active Booster 2000 AUR = 28,000,000 ISK 3-day Active Booster 3500 AUR = 49,000,000 ISK 7-day Active Booster 7000 AUR = 98,000,000 ISK
UVT (1,3,7,30-day all have same AUR price, most likely subject to change) 10 AUR = 140,000 ISK
Now if there isn't any restriction in way of ISK transaction betwene EVE-DUST and if current pricing of DUST AUR items stays the same, thsese are somewhat base prices that one doesn't want to go under, when selling in secondary marketplace if ones intent it to gain profit in ISK by buying AUR items with RL cash and selling them to secondary marketplace. |

Yes, my above speculation was assuming that those AUR gear can be traded or sold to other players through secondary marketplace. Should be noted that I'm talking about AUR gear trading, NOT AUR trading it self. |

30$ to keep boosted for the whole month for active/passive boosters is 'around standard?' (That doesn't include enough aurum to buy any suits or items) That's twice what the game we're joining up with (Eve Online) costs to play per month! I'm not saying CCP doesn't need to make money. I'm saying they'd make MORE money if they lowered the price points. You get less from each individual sale, but it becomes a much more attractive purchase and more people will be willing to spend, increasing the overall volume of sales. They need to make their profit off of making more people want to buy aurum, not by gouging the people who'd buy it anyways! Absolutely right.....if they issue a half price merc pack sale or a sale on gear, i'd be on it. To be honest, they should give you more aurum with each increasing bundle. You get 20000 aur for $10 and 40000 for $20. Why not....45,000 aur or 50K aur for $20? All in all, I agree....give us more bang for our buck.
There is bonus AUR in those bigger packs... I believe the one that the 200,000 AUR pack gives a bonus 40,000 AUR.

(In this post AUR refers to EVE side AUR)
One caution tho, in EVE converting PLEX(20Gé¼) results into 3500 AUR, so it would be advisable not to buy PLEX with ISK and then convert that into AUR and then trade that into DUST merc. And that trading AUR to DUST merc is something that I don't know is even planed. That would certainly spring up a whole host of AUR scams.
source for that 3500 AUR info.
edit:
Also to think of it, it is highly unlikely that EVE-DUST AUR trading transferring will be in place, because that would completely devalue EVE side NEX Store item prices. |

Don't worry you still can use those AUR items, when bought from secondary market place with ISK. (By just playing the game.) |
