Only good thing about these items is I can sell them to blueberries as standard gear and not get into trouble.

Not even a lousy blue tag...

I think CCP should work on their customer service!!!! If they don't support the customers, what's the point in developing anymore content.

"Broken and senseless by design"

"Broken and senseless by design"

/sigh

So, this still needs to be fixed.

Let me reiterate that the items in question are:

Listed as standard.

Described as used by "elite" forces.

Meta Level 3 (higher than standard, but given MLT stats).

You didn't get the memo did you.... They determined this was by design.

That means nothing.

They determined that treating the MAG suits as "event" items instead of purchased items for the purposes of the AUR reimbursal around game launch was "by design". Enough people spoke out about how many people had actually purchased them, etc. And the stock response from GMs (this is by design) got changed.

Them calling this "by design" merely means they haven't actually looked at the issue, understood it, or anything remotely like that. The most recent developer reply of it being "by design" focused on exactly one part of the argument - that the text description about it being standard wasn't necessarily indicative that the item would be. Aside from being stupid, it ignores all the other evidence and parts of the argument. They straw-manned an issue rather than deal with it intelligently after sitting on it for months.

I continue to revisit this topic because it's necessary until the devs are capable of answering the argument in full rather than dismissing the concerns of the people that have invested more than anyone else in Dust universe. Many game makers are made to be accountable for concerns of customers who purchased their $60 game. People with these weapon issues paid over 50% more than those plebes, and not for a game... no, for items. Those items being screwed is slapping those people in the face. The product that cost $100 (or $150 for the collector's) was not a game, it was in-game items.

It speaks to trust in the company. It's a free-to-play game. You don't "HAVE" to give them anything. For what reason should anyone ever give them money in the future if when trusted with the largest possible sum, they pissed in your face? That's why this is important. It's the principle.
