Hey CCP, if you remove any of my AUR purchased BPOs I want the cash back, not your AURUM. I did not buy AUR to spend on consumable items that vanish into thin air when destroyed. I purchased BPOs so that I can have an ISK free group of items to use when I see fit. The fact that you are swindling people out of their purchase is a bad business practice and I hope that people see this act and it makes up their mind to not buy any more AUR from you. |

Because it is the same issue as then. Only now it is a dev blogged issue. NO REMOVAL OF BPOs WITHOUT A SIMILAR ITEM REPLACING IT OR CASH REFUND. We don't want your AURUM, we want BPOs or cash. |

Here is the thing though. I don't have any vehicle BPOs myself, but I feel this is a slippy slope, and how long until CCP comes for dropsuit modules? I purchased AUR for the ability to buy BPOs before they were gone from the market. Just like CCP told me too, and I thought about it for a few days and even researched how much they would benefit me in the future knowing that I would never need ISK to run a decent suit. I planned out my purchase and executed it based on the promise that BPOs would always be there to fall back on from CCPs dev blogs. Now here we are not even 2 months later and they are removing some of those "permanent" purchases with little thought on how the consumer feels and not even offering a suitable substitute. AUR is not suitable. I purchased a "permanent" item with my AUR, now there are none of those on the market. I don't want AUR in return. I want the cash back. Put it into my PS account. I am a PS+ member, I am sure I will find something to spend it on. Hell, if CCP offers something good in the future I might even reinvest it back to them.
To push people to buy an item, and then remove it 2 months later though..... This is the sign of a disorganized and/or sheisty company. Or the fact that the playerbase is actually so low, that CCP is scared that once we as a community realize that we actually hold the power of future AUR purchases.... well. The first thing they want to do is get rid of our BPOs, because they do not want a satiated player base. They want us to buy more AUR, infact, they need it.
BPOs, DO NOT, mess with the future ingame economy. They mess with CCPs bottomline. If you have the BPO, why buy the expendable new mod that CCP has on the market? This is what I am fighting against. This is the big picture that all you "BPOs are bad for the ingame economy" people never think of. I am an earthly being. I have lived through 34 years of being the villain and the hero. The only qualification you need for that is knowing when to use your middle finger.
Well today I am using my middle finger, because I see what CCP is trying to fool everyone into. And I am against it. |

The same goes for the "Primordial" Medium Frame, or whatever. Use the Aurum, and then ISK. I didn't rush to the store and buy the PSN card and then get this Aurum because CCP said to, I did it because I WANTED to. I understand what you're saying people, I do, but "Subject to change" means subject to change. You're losing FOUR BPO's, that will not function.
The promise was equivalent, AUR is not equivalent because there are no more BPOs on the market. That means that they give you back AUR, you buy the new shite and then when you die it is gone. I didn't buy a BPO for the AUR value. I bought it so that as long as DUST 514 is active I have this thing that is no ISK cost to me because I supported CCP with real money in a F2P game.
And if you "wouldn't care" then scrap them and take a video of you doing it. I am awaiting the youtube link to you doing that. |
