I hope that clears up the misunderstanding! Yup say good by to the RL money the players who wanted you to bring these back were going to spend .... I will just let my last 3 months of active and passiove boosters run out and your not getting another dime from me... Oh and now I prob wont m ake an eve account just FY! .,.. good job marketing |

That's the greediest ******* **** I've seen since War Z's server fiasco. (now called Zombie Survival Stories or some stupid ****).
Don't give me that supply and demand bullshit either. Purposely limiting items to raise the demand doesn't justify increasing the damn price by 33%. That's shady as fuckin hell.
How hilarious it is, that after all the bullshit I've waded through on the development team, and not minding the length of time it takes to create a decent game, It's the marketing team that makes me say **** you and your game.
See you on the PS4 if you ever ******* make it there with you greedy assholes.
how much is that in US dollars? Well 40k AUR is $20 so a little more then $30. |

Guess that means your comment is moot point. Won't be here next release, I give up on companies that all of a sudden become greedy as hell. Final post. Uninstalling Dust now to open up room for games that have a marketing team that pays the **** attention to its consumer base. Good fuckin luck. I bet your playing it right now because you love it.

Are you talking about the playerbase or CCP? Because I'm pretty sure any economist worth his salt would say that when demand for your product is tanking (based on peak user trendline) you lower prices rather than increase them. Only a ****** would do the opposite. |

I like to throw money on this game every week because I want it to get bigger and better. You can play this game for years and not spend a penny. If your short on cash, get a paper round kid, |

Sure, I did, and I understood what she was saying perfectly: technically, this isn't an increase in price, rather it is a 'restoration' of price.
Also, technically speaking, the French won the second world war...
However, more than anything, I was trying to point out to our dear fan of CCP that perhaps it was CCP who were suffering from delusions rather than them being sane and the rest of the world mad. |

I picked up 3 Omega boosters during the initial release. I had been waiting for months for them to release them again so I could stock up with even more this time. Unfortunately the price jump is just too high to justify them this time. |

Intended price or not, it's way too high. Please try to justify over 30 dollars for this item, I'd love to hear it. |

Not only i would get the SAME stuff i already have, but it would only allow me to buy 1 passive omega booster. I, just dont think is that good of a deal.
for 100k AUR i can buy two 30day booster bundles for 2 months active an 2 months passive and still have AUR left.
I'll have to pass on this deal CCP. Thanks,but not thanks.
I just hope when you release the ''ELite pack'' containing templar blueprints you make it worth while my 100$.... |

I just bought a bunch. It's a fair price: 2x the SP for a little over 2x the price in half the time. If you're willing to get those SP more slowly then you have that choice too. I'm happy to help fund the game so some of you guys can keep playing for free. |

If only they'd fix/release content that would make me want to give $$. As it stands the game is stale and 1.5 is a pointless and minor patch.
Also is it not considered pay to win letting players advance their SP gain using RL money? |

I think most people in the forums are forgetting that they are BOOSTERS... for the price you guys are paying you are going at double the speed of someone not spending any money... So you guys are complaining about the price of something that after a month (if used to its fullest) puts you 1 month ahead of a player not paying but doing the same amount of work? If i could afford to get the boosters i would, but guess what, i dont need a boost right now, if i had paid and gotten the boosters from day 1 i would be at 30mill sp, but im at 16mill sp instead because i didnt pay, but you guys are saying its too expensive to gain twice as much and it bugs me. Pretty much double anything you can buy cost alot more if you go for what is twice as good as what you were going to buy.
If you guys keep complaining about the price of the BOOSTERS... your just spoiled kids crying because something changed and you can no longer get your bottle anymore, sorry, no more bottle :( |

It bugs you that people are letting a company know that it is being delusional with the pricing of its goods, and that they would sell more if the price was lower, and that they should lower prices given demand for their product is already tanking? Son, you got issues... |

It's totally optional and it's not P2W, so what's the fuss?
Yeah, one guy might be able to afford it when you can't, but:
A) You don't have to keep up with the Joneses
B) That guy is funding the game so you can play
There will always be someone with more SP, whether they started before you, played more than you, or spent more cash than you. It really doesn't matter which one.
The gme may be F2P but it isn't F2Develop. It needs a revenue stream and this is probably a very good one. I think too many people see F2P and assume that nobody should pay, or those who do shouldn't get anything for it. That's just not thinking things through. |

Let me get this straight: you are upset at a company for providing a free game with an optional market for real purchases where they set the price to make the money to develop the game in such a way that they can afford to offer it for free, and you are in no way obligated to purchase anything from the store.

For some people it's about greed. For others like me it's about stupidity. Y'know the kind of stupidity where you have to actually test a 400 warpoint limit for the Academy before you know it's a bad idea? Yeah, that kind of stupidity, expanded to everything else a company does. These guys apparently have a professional accountant employed, who didn't feel the need to inform them of the thing he should have learnt in his very first lesson on the subject: lower prices to increase demand. You're going to tell me demand for Dust is healthy given the peak user trendline? |
