When you bought it you signed an agreement that no refunds would be givin read the terms of the sale u ******* dope

Can you not read? They are only removing militia equipment bpos....

Kinda sad you need a lawyer to read the EULA for you :(

Part of the agreement you make when purchasing stuff from CCP says that CCP has rights to change and reimburse you, the consumer, with any item(s) of (what they deem as) equivalent value. Your getting reimbursed anyway, so I don't see the problem here......

Let it
he a stupie guy who wants to sue a big company who has way better lawyer that he could ever think of getting
only cause he hasnt got a bpo that is getting refunded anyways and wasnt part of any promotion

OP you are an idiot. Go back to this Thread and read very carefully. They list all the modules/turrets/vehicles and nowhere on that list are LAV BPO's that you are crying about. Whoever gets your complaint is gonna **** their pants laughing at you.

... except the BPOs in question were not, and never have been, part of a promotional offer. All BPOs that were part of a promotional offer are still in the game.

So what leg are you standing on?

Would you buy a new fridge simply because you saw a Whirlpool ad, even though it would add absolutely nothing to your life? Probably not. It was your decision to buy, not CCP's. That's like saying it's the stove's fault you stuck your hand in the fire.

This post here where CCP is telling you to "HURRY UP AND BUY"

The fact that they made a dev post encouraging you to buy items that not a couple of months later they were going to remove. It is misleading to the customer and basically a swindle perpetrated by CCP to create a massive influx of money that had people known then that this would happen would probably not have made a purchase of AUR to buy said items. BAD BUSINESS CCP! I hope his suit has a leg and actually goes somewhere.

I actually think you are being fictitious, and have alternative goals because the cost does not equal the effort. But since you decided to bring up countries....

All this says to me is that the EU/UK subsidize the frivolous and opportunistic. In fact back in the states we have laws which can turn around court costs directed at those who waste everyone time. Like a case over a $5 dispute which is covered by a EULA to cost several thousands to the rest of society for to process.

The lawyer: "I'm sorry sir, but we can't go any further with this case. If you purchased this yourself then MAYBE we have something. But seeing how you needed to use your mothers credit card, technically CCP/Sony doesn't owe you anything."

Yelhsa Jin-Mao: "SUE THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT!!!"

So you first buy AUR.

CCP says, "hey buy this BPO because it will be gone soon."

You buy the BPO and then proceed to use it to earn a pretty hefty sum of ISK.

CCP removes the BPO and gives you back you AUR.

Should you give back all the ISK you made while using the BPO?

Q: What happens to my existing Blueprints?
A: Your existing Blueprints will remain in your inventory. Note that from the 8th of October, you will be unable to purchase new Blueprints except via the Veteran and Elite packs on the PlayStation-« Store.


this^^^

I understand why they are removing the 4 stated BPO's


the MAJOR problem I see with this is if we let CCP take advantage of us like this

they are surely gonna do it again in the future and thats not cool




most if not all players that are caught in this BPO removal

need to stand up and say something before they remove more BPO's

you missed the most important part...

I only bought the aur to get the bpo.

now they take the bpo but give me the aur that I now have no use for because I don't need boosters and I don't like the aur gear...

a psn credit is the only answer short of letting me keep the bpo's

To be honest, I'm quite surprised at the level of vitriol directed towards the OP for exercising his (her?) legal rights in an instance where they felt they had been unfairly dealt with by CCP/Sony.

Regardless of whether you think the action is warranted, consumer protection laws are in place to allow an individual to seek redress from corporations without fear that their chance of a fair hearing would be sunk by the deep pockets and legal representation of the company involved.

Not my cup of tea, but I support the OPs intent and right to challenge this legally, regardless of the outcome.

That's the law.

They are reimbursing you a product of equal or greater value.

IF you buy a PS4, but then a mandatory recall comes up, so they give you 2 free PS3's, even if you didn't want it/pay for it, its legal in that you maintained the value of your purchase.

@OP: It sounds like CCP could not win in this situation. For balance purposes they completely removed those BPOs and related STD/ADV/PRO modules, and they are nice enough to refund the AUR from those modules.

So instead of removing the module BPOs from your inventory (because they will be completely unusable) you sound like you'd be happy if they left them in, but made them unusable. But wait you wouldn't be happy with that, and try to 'sue' them over that as well.

Look, game balance dictates that these items have to go, be happy that they are refunding your AUR.

However, I agree (a little bit) that the removal of BPOs from other packs (that don't have a current known AUR value) would anger me.

OKGǪ CCP created revenue by advertising permanent in game items (note that it doesnGÇÖt matter when you purchased these items, they were always advertised as permanent), they confirmed that our BPOGÇÖs will remain with our characters and even urged us to buy them before they are no longer available. By removing these items they have breached the contract and are liable to compensate.

Now, a seller can cancel the contract (purchase) but both the seller and buyer must agree on the terms. The seller cannot mandate what compensation suits the buyer. They can offer store credit (AUR in this case) but if the buyer does not accept the terms, they must refund cash or offer a similar product. Seeing as similar product is not available, then cash it is.

EULA will never surpass this and to be honest, this is not about the EULA anyway. A product was advertised, confirmed to be permanent and then removed. If 3000 people purchased $5 worth of BPOGÇÖs, CCP made $15,000.00. AUR is not a fair trade, as players are out of money and it is replaced by in game currency that is not valid currency outside the game. Giving AUR costs CCP nothing.

IGÇÖm upset that they are removing the 4 BPOGÇÖs, not because IGÇÖm financially ruined or because the items were brilliant but because it goes against what they said to us. They said they will not be removing BPOGÇÖs but what do you call this then? I can let this slide but if CCP starts eyeballing any other BPOGÇÖs I have, they will have to refund me PSN credit. I have too much AUR already, thereGÇÖs nothing on the market that I want to spend it on. Sure, I can get some boosters but I have over 23 mil SP on my character so it seems a little pointless plus I still have, I think, 2 passive boosters and 1 active waiting to be used.
