When you think about it, a normal 30 day booster is 28,000 AUR. The omega 30 day booster gives twice as much extra SP as the normal booster, so you expect it's at least double more, so price it at 56,000 AUR. But then you take into consideration that you are getting these points a full month faster than if you were to just buy two normal 30 day boosters at that price, so add a 9,000 AUR convenience fee and BAM! 65,000 AUR.

I didn't like it at first, but it makes sense and is reasonable. Also no, there is no chance in hell I am buying one.

I too think it's reasonable. If you don't like it you can still buy normal boosters or no boosters at all.

The problem is that CCP needs money from this game in order to continue developing it. Most of the Subdreddit guys I see on the forums have a non booster, non proto mentality and seem to really, really love Eve. This game doesn't have a subscription. When running a business it must take in more money than it spends in order to be successful. Business 101.

Many people aren't buying ANYTHING in this game because they don't trust that there is much of a future. Make the AUR cheaper AND make the AUR items in game cheaper.

If you think $32 for 720,000 SP is reasonable then you are honestly the dumbest SOB taking in oxygen at this moment.

Dust development gets funded from EVE subscriptions...... Yes the money they get from boosters and such is important. But you people are crazy if you think the AUR market is what keeps DUST afloat. The only real purpose they serve is to show to the CCP board that "hey dust can totally make money! Please invest in us so we can make even more later!" which is arguably just as important, but its whatever. I don't think the company is anywhere near bankruptcy......

I don't think so either, but I'm sure they have accountants that are able to tell them that this game isn't generating enough money. The player numbers, the console video game market forecast, and the slow development might have them trying to squeeze the last bit of revenue they can out of this game. Especially when you consider the removal of BPOs. To me it looks like they want people to flock out to buy them up.

It's 360,000 more SP than a standard booster or 720,000 more than not running boosters for 30 days. You might as well turn your PS3 into a parking meter. Just stick a quarter in every hour.
