@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.

Message from Godin What in the actual **** are you talking about? The BPO LAV's are not being removed......
