See, I'd be a bad game developer because I'd just remove your **** without giving you a refund..
That said, I'd also walk around with god mode and insanely strong weapons using an arnie soundboard, while talking to the enemy team. Probably why I'm not a dev..

Hence why this guy's QQ is ridiculous. He's basically petitioning to keep Militia modules that are worth like 1 second worth of game time, not even standard. The BPO Sagas are sticking around as well as the rare Gurista Saga. Those are not going to change as there is no reason for them to change. That would be like saying they're changing the rate of fire on the SMG so instead of adjusting my 'Toxin' they simply get rid of it and refund me for it. These things are going to cease to exist in the game altogether.

Bunch of crybabies. Just the bpos that are not an actual item in any format post 1.7 are being removed. There's no use having something that doesn't work! Feck sake, you still should have the bpos that CAN be used, and they've said that there is NO plan for their removal. Cop on, learn to read. Idiots

Yeah, but I actually have several of the BPOs they are removing and use them all the time. Keeping the current BPOs honestly wouldn't hurt vehicle balance in the slightest, they just don't want to change numbers on them.

I say let them keep the BPOs with no AUR refund.

This is pathetic. I know the DEVs have seen this thread and yet they refuse to comment.

If you take a look at the OP, it even says edited by CCP Frame!

I even have a picture in-case Seymore edits his OP without noticing that his post was edited by a DEV.

I don't mind them them not commenting as I actually agree with what they've done. But it would be a bit of a balm for people to get some response

And the title edit by Frame Seymor knows about as do a few others. What you mightn't know if you haven't been following this thread is that posts making reference to the fact the title was edited by Frame have been removed, as have two bump posts by Seymor. There was nothing malicious or ranty in our posts about the title edit, just Seymor, myself and another poster pointing at it and having a laugh, so I'm at a loss as to why they were removed. Lol, come to think of it this post will probably be removed now due to me talking about it


The first rule of Forum Ninja Editing Club is, you do not talk about Forum Ninja Editing Club

I feel it is within OUR rights to have a selection of items in EXCHANGE of the BPOs being removed.

EG Remove the stated Module BPOs and select Via Ticket to EXCHANGED them for the Following items:
1. A BPO which exists in game, modules, weapons etc - Since some of us Collect BPOS
2. A 30 Day Omega Passive or Active Booster - Yes it would cost more in terms of AURUM BUT taking into consideration Moral Damages It would seem of more of a fair deal.
3. A Full SP Refund and the AURUM Back.


If CCP do not wish to do none of the above, then personally i'd rather have a PSN Credit Refund since I have no need whatsoever at this moment in time of AURUM - I have OVER 200,000 AUR.
I Purchased DUST Packs to get the BPO Items with AUR using Real Life Cash, I had no other reason to purchase anything else on their market, therefore I see no need in being forced into an AUR refund.

The Client/Player/PAYER should be allowed to concord the type of Refund desired - It's called Customer Care in most CIVILIZED Nations. Reaching an Agreement with CCP so both parties are content and thus CCP will save face and possibly still be supported .

Example, when you purchase a shirt which you are not satisfied with, you can take it back, get it EXCHANGED for another shirt, money back or get something else of a similar value in return WHAT U WANT! and NOT WHAT THEY FORCE YOU INTO ACCEPTING!

with all the editing/stealth editing and secret involvement of the devs - has anyone else noticed a dearth of "respec!" threads? I would have thought the forums would be swimming in them since the vehicle respec announcement. Are ccp removing them as soon as they appear I wonder? (im easy by the way, would just as soon not have one as have one)

A pretty well worded and balanced thread that was created by a guy on why CCP MUST offer us an alternative to an aurumn refund because it is within out rights as a consumer to decide and agree uporn the reimbursement we receive was deleted by a DEV entirely. This is the sort of underhand tactics CCP play.

This.

So what items are they removing exactly?!

Agreed. I paid for an item with infinite use and I should be able to keep an item with infinite use.

What If I went to your house, took the rechargeable batteries you purchased, and replaced them with normal batteries?

First, I love all the internet lawyering going on in this thread. I know for a fact CCP has a legal department that they rely on pretty heavily for most decisions. They wouldn't have done this if you guys had any legal ground to stand on in terms of "If they remove this they must do X." I'm pretty sure they covered their asses as much as they're obliged to, by giving you an AUR refund.

That said, I'd like to point out that I totally warned CCP this would happen (Not that they didn't see it themselves, mind you) and that people would complain about the perceived value of the purchase. I warned them that it would be much safer to just render them unusuable and leave them as collector's items until they actually had a plan to deal with the rest of the blueprints collectively while maintaining the perceived value of those purchases.

Until CCP makes such a plan, I highly doubt they'll comment on these threads, as they've already taken as much of an official stance as they will, in the thread that announced the removal of the four BPO's.


I agree that this was handled poorly... But even as an owner of many BPOs, I can see how bad they are for the game and am glad to see them go.

Agreed. I paid for an item with infinite use and I should be able to keep an item with infinite use.

What If I went to your house, took the rechargeable batteries you purchased, and replaced them with normal batteries?

******* idiot.
It would be more like you buy rechargeable batteries from a toy company for a toy. The toy company then updates that toy for you for free and tells you that the new toy won't be compatible with the rechargeable batteries you bought and gives you back the money you spent on the rechargeable batteries. Not replacing them with one use batteries...
