Counter arguably, you bought a software product to which then gets patched to change entirely how it worked and was not what you originally agreed too. Apple's quicktime had such incident' it installed Itunes without permission, which then proceeded to directly wiping out my 12,000 song collection as they where not bought from itunes (nor could they even be bought anywhere) . My compensation from the massive lawsuit? 25 cents because the songs I had, had no value, which I am sure my portion of the taxpayer's cut of that bill was much more than that.

Real Bait and Switches are a bit more common these days, a company will sell a product on a lot, when you get to the store in question to be selling said product at an amazing price and the product in question isn't there but all the other products they want to try to buy are. The stupid little disclaimer at 'participating' stores only lets them get away with this.

As for what is in dust 514's case, I am not sure how to proceed because your money is only used to buy in game currency and you still have full value on that item. What you do with that currency is questionable. As for the other items is where details start gumming things up to the point it may just require a blank option to fix all of it. CCP Could arguably replace the BPOs with X number of copies of the same item for the aurum value would have been for individual copy purchases and argue equal value.

I mean how many people rose a massive amount of stink when ccp changed the stats on these bpos to be different? Changed skill requirements, attributes, performance the other things. All BPOs have been molested with patch updates already. What is the difference if they changed the attribute of the BPO form infinite runs to oh say 2500 runs. Or what if CCP Changed our BPOs to something that you can no longer equip but use as a means of producing your own suits instead?

Like I said anything is possible and in the air.

You cannot refund to cash, that's illegal according to sony. Highest level you can refund back to is PSN wallet.

Aurum refund may involve lawyers (on ccps end) so who knows.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong. If you mean refunding AUR to cash, then I see that being an issue.

Giving people AUR in return for taking away BPOs shouldn't require lawyers on CCP's part surely. It seems the logical thing to do, not to mention the RIGHT thing to do.

I don't have much BPOs in comparison to some people, but I'll still want my AUR back for them, because I bought them thinking I'll have them there as long as I wanted. You can't put something on the market, make people pay real money for it, then take it away without a refund lol

That's like putting out DLC, making people buy it, then say "oops! We didn't mean to put this out" and take it back from people and keep their money. Makes no sense.

From what I understand reversing an item transaction into Aurum on a mass scale would require the advice of the legal team.

Either way until a solution is found that is satisfactory the bpos shouldn't be removed until then.

just hopping on the "if existing BPOs are removed, will be upset" train.

and no, an aurum or even a psn wallet refund will not make it OK.

Direct answer from CCP Pretorian. Expect a forum response soon.

One thing to clarify guys: The removal refers to removing any new sources of BPOs. At this stage there are no plans to remove any BPOs from anyone's inventories.

We are also looking at whether we want to put in place restrictions to things such as trading and exchange of BPOs. This has not been decided internally, but do be aware this is under discussion.
