I've sent a complaint to the Office of Fair Trading (UK equivalent of America's national consumer rights government body) regarding the removal of in-game content (vehicle BPO) that I have purchased from Sony, which is now being removed by a third party who was not party to the purchase agreement, and who is infringing on my consumer rights. I have made a complaint under the following circumstances, failure to comply with Sales of Goods Act 1979, as well as a complaint regarding underhand business tactics and poor customer service.
I would also like you all to note a little extract taken from moneysavingexpert.com
Understanding the law If you've got a dispute going on, it's important not just to know your rights, but to understand how and why they work.
Every time you buy something, be it a mobile phone from a mate or a week in Cuba from a travel agent, you make a contract with the seller. What does this contract really mean?
Both you and the other party agree to terms and conditions. The seller has agreed to provide your 'statutory rights'.
*Note the phrase the seller has agreed to provide your statutory rights, not a third party developer, producer, manufacturer, burger van owner or car salesman.
I encourage everyone to exercise their consumer rights and seek legal advice against CCP, and do not be afraid to take action If you get the go-ahead From your legal advisor or consumer rights group, as I certainly will be.

The purchase agreement was with Sony and not CCP, therefore If Sony were to be the ones removing my BPOs then it would be a different matter, but seeing as its not, and CCP are the ones interfering with something that they were not party to, I am well within my rights as a consumer to lodge a complaint and seek legal advice.

Yeah... so... say you win your case and CCP backs down. Say they even email you and say, "You know what? You have a point. We're going to let you, and you alone, keep the BPO that we'd be refunding to everyone else."
Well, congratulations.
Because you will be in the possession of a BPO module THAT DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
They're only removing the BPOs for modules classes that are being removed from the game, folks. Your whining is for nothing whatsoever. And they're paying you back a pretty penny in AUR for it.
Also, ready yer damn EULA.

I love how people are complaining about the removal of four militia vehicle module blueprints. I'm beginning to think that some of the people on these forums don't know how to read without being blinded by some strange all consuming rage at nothing.
By the way, for these particular items you bought the Aurum from Sony and then used the Aurum as credits for these items so... good luck

EULA does NOT exempt Sony, CCP, or any other company from UK and EU law, especially when said company advertises an item with a limited offer (aka BPOs) with a big promotional offer, only to then remove said items offered in the promotion less than 3 months later. THAT is an underhand business tactic, exploitation and more than worthy of a complaint to the office of fait trading and consumer rights groups.

Part of my rights as a consumer is to request a refund of equal measure if I am not satisfied with the terms offered when one party to the purchase agreement decides to change it. As a consumer I am legally entitled to request a CASH refund of equal value If CCP decides that it does not want to honor the original agreement. I suguest you educate yourself a little more on consumer rights, and stop banging your head against EULAs.

I don't need to pay for an expensive lawyer, as I'm a UK and EU citizen.

LAV BPOs, Vehicle Module BPOs, it makes no difference, I am exercising my legal rights as a consumer against a company that wishes to infringe upon them, by not honoring the original purchase agreement and not offering a CASH refund of equal value, of which I am legally entitled to.

So what leg are you standing on?
This post here where CCP is telling you to "HURRY UP AND BUY"
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1420895#post1420895
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. |

CCP is refunding the AUR for the BPO's they are removing so you are still getting what you paid your real money for. So you have no real case against them, but feel free to waste you governments time and money by turning in your complaint.

Except the fact that people bought AUR to buy the BPOs because CCP made a post telling you that they were removing them from the ingame market and encouraged you to do it quick before they are gone from said market. Only to remove them after the fact which brings shady and misleading business practices into effect and this is not good for future outlook on AUR purchases. |

Around September/October 5th or whenever it was eexactly, CCP put out a promotion of the marketplace homecreen encouraging people to spend AUR, which has real world value, to buy BPOs before they were removed From the market. Now these militia vehicle module BPOs, of whcih I bought near on 6 where bought with AUR, as the promotion clearly stated that they would be removed after said date. Now there was no mention that these BPOs would then go on to be removed entirely less than 3 months later, and believe me if there had been I wouldn't have purchased an aurumn pack to buy my militia BPOs in the first place. That is why Ive submitted a complaint, and that is why more people should do too. CCP is using misleading promotional campaigns, which have deceived me into spending money to buys something that they intended to later remove and that is a breach of the Sales of Goods Act and my consumer rights.

You still have no case. It doesn't matter why you decided to buy the AUR. Your purchase agreement was for the AUR and you are getting that back. You are only gonna accomplish 2 things by turning in that complaint, make yourself look foolish and waste time that could have been better spent on a valid complaint

Value of complaint doesn't matter in the UK, the bigger issue here is of the corporate malpractice on CCPs part, of which I as a consumer have been a victim of, and will NOT let them get away with.

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?

ISK has no real world value, however the AUR that I had purchased does, yet I can't get that money back becausr AUR is non transferable or refundable so CCP says. Imagine being sold chip's at a casino, to play a game of roulette, win a game or two, only to have the roulette table close, and then find the chips you won are non transferable back into cash. But hey, at least you can go play a game of slots with all the chips you got, but you still won't get any cash!

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...

Being a victim of false advertisement doesn't make you an idiot, it just makes the corporation and idiot for trying to pull the wool over your eyes, fleece you for your money and exploit you as a consumer and expect to get away with it without facing any repercussions. So you bought. CCP realises that in order to better the game they have to change the mechanics of the game which would require the removal of said items, including the variants you bought. CCP reimburses you the AUR/credits you purchased in order to obtain said item, which is reasonable, at least you can spend it on something else in-game, and you decide to look to sue them. Okay.
Let's say CCP let's you keep the items instead. What then? You can tell people you have these BPOs that make one more thing you have to scroll past as you make a fitting.
Or let's say you win. You get back your $5, you buy a few Cokes. Better be the damn best tasting Cokes you ever had cause they sure as hell ain't going to last you as long as the BPO's you had.

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
the door was opened when they nerfed contact nades and aur cal logi suits..
back then I made a post demanding compensation for the people who bought this aur stuff. (I didn't even buy any of it)
the same morons were saying to HTFU and read the EULA then to.....
I hope those fools never reproduce....bunch of dopes....

Even if you made me want to RAIG the last time I played you in FW (Faqing needles...) this is stupid for both not reading the EULA, and not reading the thread.
He forget that whatever it cost in AUR was being reimbursed, therefore it is legal by the code he agreed to (The EULA).
Like I said, its legal.

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
Agreed, PSN credits or CASH. Then I can go buy GTAV instead of this garbage

This post here where CCP is telling you to "HURRY UP AND BUY" https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1420895#post1420895The 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. 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. Being a victim of false advertisement doesn't make you an idiot, it just makes the corporation and idiot for trying to pull the wool over your eyes, fleece you for your money and exploit you as a consumer and expect to get away with it without facing any repercussions. So you bought. CCP realises that in order to better the game they have to change the mechanics of the game which would require the removal of said items, including the variants you bought. CCP reimburses you the AUR/credits you purchased in order to obtain said item, which is reasonable, at least you can spend it on something else in-game, and you decide to look to sue them. Okay. Let's say CCP let's you keep the items instead. What then? You can tell people you have these BPOs that make one more thing you have to scroll past as you make a fitting. Or let's say you win. You get back your $5, you buy a few Cokes. Better be the damn best tasting Cokes you ever had cause they sure as hell ain't going to last you as long as the BPO's you had.
so how much of our stuff do they have to take before you think its worth fighting for? some of you people ae very shallow thinkers...
you see the tree in front of you and dismiss the forest.

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.

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.

Imagine being sold chip's at a casino, to play a game of roulette, win a game or two, only to have the roulette table close, and then find the chips you won are non transferable back into cash. But hey, at least you can go play a game of slots with all the chips you got, but you still won't get any cash!
Actually isk does have a real world value 1 plex (25$)= some billions of isk

ok heres the thing.
your purchased AUR
converting AUR into an ingame item is a GAME function, a GAME mechanic, its part of the GAME.
the AUR never goes anywhere, and if the GAME item disapears for some reason, the AUR is returned.
YOU BOUGHT AUR and it doesnt matter WHY you bought it.
the item you purchased was AUR, everythign else is a game mechnic, and therefor isnt subject to legal action BECAUSE ITS A GAME. |

I don't know why CCP is choosing to remove vehicle BPOs from inventory instead of changing the BPO stats to match the new militia stats. It's a pretty **** move on their part.
The whole aurum refund may not be good enough to satisfy people who spent money in order to buy the BPO(s). As many have already stated before: aurum < real money.

to be fair though in OP's defense. CCP have many notices which state the BPO is a Permanent Item, without an asterix at the side stating they could be removed. so really on all their promotional items for the bpo's like the EVE collectors edition, the daemon shottie bpo, the merc packs or the guristas bpo code tickets they are declaring the bpos as permanent items without an exemption notice which could be the way forward in a case. at least as a way to get cash back over aurum |

Seymor Krelborn wrote:so how much of our stuff do they have to take before you think its worth fighting for? some of you people ae very shallow thinkers... you see the tree in front of you and dismiss the forest. Of all the things... Okay let me get this right.
You bought Aurum. Whatever your intentions with said Aurum... You bought Aurum. With real money you entered the PSN Store and clicked the Aurum amount, add to cart and then purchased it. You did not click on militia BPO and then buy it, you clicked on Aurum, which is a currency to use in Dust514 to purchase items that are for sale within the game universe for Aurum. You purchased within this game universe using the Aurum which you bought for real world money, a militia BPO or a few.
CCP, the developers of the game, while they were trying to make the game better realised that in order to have the game progress mechanically, they must alter certain mechanics within the game that require them to remove the FOUR MILITIA BPOS that would simply cease to function once they update the game. Because of this they decide that upon their removal you will be reimbursed the Aurum which you used to obtain said in-game item.
CCP previously stated that they will not be removing BPOs from inventory. Okay fair enough. But they stated afterwards that in order for the game to progress they need to remove these things and that they'll reimburse you the Aurum which is replacing the item with something of equal value which you can even use to purchase something else in game. So instead of saying okay it's fair at least I can use the Aurum to get something else in-game you want to sue them. CCP is not responsible for your intent when you seek to buy Aurum.
So you worry about other BPO's that may get removed. While I doubt CCP would do this, though I do not discount the possibility, it would probably result in a virtually immediate shutdown of the servers as no one would continue to play this game. These BPO's are getting removed as a result of changes to the game. What you want CCP to change their development so you can keep the most useless BPO's in existence?
You call me a shallow thinker? All you see is one thing BPO's. There are other things in the game as well. You're simply too narrow-minded to buy them.
By the way if CCP were to unanimously decide to shut down the servers tomorrow they wouldn't owe you ****.

actually IF ccp is really just going to take away militia BPOs...you just could buy those with aurum, which you bought from sony. CCP is not corrupting the aurum-purchase contract you had with sony. They just change what you bought with that before purchased aurum, not the aurum purchase itself. it would be a different story if they remove bpos you purchased within a mercpack etc. This was indeed a trade with sony, not with ccp.

I have made a complaint under the following circumstances, failure to comply with Sales of Goods Act 1979, as well as a complaint regarding underhand business tactics and poor customer service.
I would also like you all to note a little extract taken from moneysavingexpert.com
Understanding the law If you've got a dispute going on, it's important not just to know your rights, but to understand how and why they work.
Every time you buy something, be it a mobile phone from a mate or a week in Cuba from a travel agent, you make a contract with the seller. What does this contract really mean?
Both you and the other party agree to terms and conditions. The seller has agreed to provide your 'statutory rights'.
*Note the phrase the seller has agreed to provide your statutory rights, not a third party developer, producer, manufacturer, burger van owner or car salesman.
I encourage everyone to exercise their consumer rights and seek legal advice against CCP, and do not be afraid to take action If you get the go-ahead From your legal advisor or consumer rights group, as I certainly will be. 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...... Part of my rights as a consumer is to request a refund of equal measure if I am not satisfied with the terms offered when one party to the purchase agreement decides to change it. As a consumer I am legally entitled to request a CASH refund of equal value If CCP decides that it does not want to honor the original agreement. I suguest you educate yourself a little more on consumer rights, and stop banging your head against EULAs.
your just being a whistle blower dude. You could have done all this without posting something like this on public forums trying to stir up the pot. Do whatever you want man, next time don't by 30 copies of a militia item........

Keep us updated, especially if you fail and get counter-sued by the Fair Trade Office for wasting everyone's time.
Also, you 'claim' to be seeking legal action. Pics/Video or it didn't happen.

Different topic in discussion with CCP now over that one at the moment and even as an Anti-respec person myself I am willing to conceded based on the measures taken to prevent abuses but still be appealing to players to use.

but the issue with that is that on printed media where the EULA for the item isn't available there is no indication that the item which they state as being permanent, can be removed. which could be the way forward in an arguement. what they should have, liek any other promotion, is an asterix at the side directing people to read the EULA and note that items may be removed from game even after purchase. since CCP hasn't done this on any of the printed media for BPO items i listed then they could face an issue.
when it comes to the militia module BPOs being removed then tbh i think all you'd get is AUR. same as if they wanted to remove the M.A.G tribute suits. things like the Merc pack suits though could earn a cash or at least PSN refund seeing as people were buying a product from psn store and not in DUST, the issue would probably be more directed to PSN customer service than CCPs |

I could definately see you being able to sue them over removal of BPOs that you bought in a pack, as those packs were advertised as having that item (like the collectors edition.)
Unfortunately I don't think the same would apply for things you purchased on the marketplace. You paid for AURUM, an in-game currency. What you did with that in-game currency I think would be outside of CCP's advertised product (aurum) so I think they would be in the clear. Now if you paid like $5 directly for those BPOs, then I could see there being real problems.

So I was just surfing through the forums, hadn't hit any big waves, then I came across this one.
You bought Aurum an in game currency for use to buy special products in the game. That's what you bought. It just so happened that you decided to spend that Aurum that you bought with your real money on some in game items that cost Aurum not real world currency. Now a few months later CCP revamps vehicles and decided that some of these items are no longer needed. So they refund the Aurum that these items were worth upon purchase, or a little more. I don't know original price because I don't waste Aurum on militia items. You now have the Aurum that you bought with real world currency. Now you can spend it on something worth it like I don't know a passive booster, or an active if you actually play the game still.

yeah that message was could be quite a killer, but then again that is still possible under the EULA, even though it is pretty unfair trading practice do do something like that, its more morally wrong than comletely legally wrong and would more than liekly come down to the judgement from OFT about action taken

yeah items bought ingame for AUR would simply be awarded AUR refund. you can't prove you bought the aurum just for that item. where that may differ is with items that was advertised under the above quotes message. CCP directed you to buy them so you didn't miss out, items bought with aurum during the period CCP suggested you buy the items so not to miss out on them could be entitled to a cash refund as players would been more likely to purchase aurum for specific purpose of buying them |

I wonder how soon this thread is getting locked.

This guy is right. With any digital content the company retains ownership (in the EULA) and we the consumer are just GÇ£leasing" it. No matter the length of the "lease" at any time they can remove the item. They don't even have to refund you as the consumer because you merely paid to "rent."
Be happy they are refunding anything because legally don't have to.
Call it underhanded, shady, whatever but it's still legal. Companies rarely act harshly and refuse reimbursement because of how that affects PR, not because of some legal obligation.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. Legally, ownership rights of digital content is very much a grey area, and I doubt that either Sony or CCP are interested in the possibility of setting a precedent that could apply across the EU for the sake of a couple of dollars.
And just on a side note, the EULA doesn't trump local law or consumer rights, regardless of what they put in it. Portions of EULA that seek to remove or limit consumer rights have been struck out before, when tested in court.
Not saying that it's necessarily going to be the case here, but for those who are claiming 'you signed the EULA and that's it' are straight up wrong.

I have made a complaint under the following circumstances, failure to comply with Sales of Goods Act 1979, as well as a complaint regarding underhand business tactics and poor customer service.
I would also like you all to note a little extract taken from moneysavingexpert.com
Understanding the law If you've got a dispute going on, it's important not just to know your rights, but to understand how and why they work.
Every time you buy something, be it a mobile phone from a mate or a week in Cuba from a travel agent, you make a contract with the seller. What does this contract really mean?
Both you and the other party agree to terms and conditions. The seller has agreed to provide your 'statutory rights'.
*Note the phrase the seller has agreed to provide your statutory rights, not a third party developer, producer, manufacturer, burger van owner or car salesman.
I encourage everyone to exercise their consumer rights and seek legal advice against CCP, and do not be afraid to take action If you get the go-ahead From your legal advisor or consumer rights group, as I certainly will be. 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 I don't need to pay for an expensive lawyer, as I'm a UK and EU citizen. You see thacts the great tthing about not being an American, it's that my government actually protects my rights and the Office of Fair Trading can fight my claim for me for free, because after all, the British Government works for the people.
Yes...and the resources that the Office of Fair Trading spends on handling your petty squabble are of course magically created out of thin air. It's not like it's coming out of the government's tax income or anything. Taxes that you and all other citizens pay. /sarcasm
You're abusing an excellent system for consumer protection and wasting resources that could be better spent on...well, anything, really. |

One thing that strikes me is that CCP is building out the game, adding new things, working towards something better that will draw more people and perhaps keep it alive in the long term.
So, instead of allowing any progress, we'd rather attempt to discourage CCP from making changes.
Fine, I guess instead they could launch Dust 2 and have people optionally choose to migrate over. Then, you can stay behind with your precious gear in a game nobody plays anymore -- but at least upholding regulations to your own interpretations and preferences.
Don't get me wrong... I'd be pissed to be losing BPOs myself, but this is dumb. |

So what leg are you standing on?
This post here where CCP is telling you to "HURRY UP AND BUY" https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1420895#post1420895The 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. 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. Being a victim of false advertisement doesn't make you an idiot, it just makes the corporation and idiot for trying to pull the wool over your eyes, fleece you for your money and exploit you as a consumer and expect to get away with it without facing any repercussions.
**** off you **** your not a ******* victim. If you want to know about real atrocities do some research and see what your precious ******* government is doing to children and other innocents in the middle east. To recap you are not a victim you are just a ******* sad pathethic entitled ****. **** OFF!!!!!!!!!! |

I have made a complaint under the following circumstances, failure to comply with Sales of Goods Act 1979, as well as a complaint regarding underhand business tactics and poor customer service.
I would also like you all to note a little extract taken from moneysavingexpert.com
Understanding the law If you've got a dispute going on, it's important not just to know your rights, but to understand how and why they work.
Every time you buy something, be it a mobile phone from a mate or a week in Cuba from a travel agent, you make a contract with the seller. What does this contract really mean?
Both you and the other party agree to terms and conditions. The seller has agreed to provide your 'statutory rights'.
*Note the phrase the seller has agreed to provide your statutory rights, not a third party developer, producer, manufacturer, burger van owner or car salesman.
I encourage everyone to exercise their consumer rights and seek legal advice against CCP, and do not be afraid to take action If you get the go-ahead From your legal advisor or consumer rights group, as I certainly will be. You know all those BPOs you bought? You didn't buy them, you rented them. CCP has DRM on all items in the game, and owns all of your BPOs. That's the magic of DRM.

No this is the problem with having your legal aid done by someone that you aren't personally paying. They will probably put in a dozen or so hours billable to your taxpayers to find out that this lawsuit can't possible go anywhere, then it would be YOU who has irresponsibly cost your country money. |

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.

Almost all User Agreements/Terms of Service/EULA have an article which addresses the developers right to modify and/or remove game content at any time.
You did, by the way, agree to all of these just by playing the game.
CCP is not entitled or required to do anything.

I think this thread has become a bit toxic, but regardless of people's opinions on this, remember an EULA does not supersede statutory rights. How these relate to digital content in the UK is another matter. Keep in mind cases like this are not new, and just show the difficulty of the digital economy.
The UK advertising standards Agency received complaints regarding the ending of Mass Effect 3 and investigated it to it's conclusion (it was not upheld, meaning EA were in the clear)
What is going to happen:
1) Will the complainant win or lose? Impossible to say 2) Will the complaint be taken seriously? Of course. They will investigate until they have reached an appropriate conclusion, whatever that may be.
I do feel this doesn't need to be on the forums though, and could've been done by petition.

@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.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
If I had to guess I'd say that the view would be that Aurum should be treated like a gift voucher.
If you buy something in a shop with the voucher, then there is a problem with what you buy, the shop can refund you with vouchers. I don't think it matters whether you bought the vouchers with the specific intent to get the product with it or not, they won't be obligated to refund in cash.
Having said that, I wonder if it matters if the shop only sells the product for vouchers, not cash. In that case you would have been forced to spend cash to buy the vouchers to buy the product, and that might have an impact.

So you have every skill in the game to 5?
If not, then you have a use for boosters.

Only an ignorant player would say that.
1) If you have 30 mil sp then you have no need of running BPO fits. You can easily make money with paid fits every match. I do this with about a third of your SP.
2) Using the AUR for boosters will mean that you get access to the full skill tree faster which will increase your versitility on the playfield thus making it easier for you to make isk/be succsssful in any given situation.
Stop your bitching, take your AUR, and enjoy the game.

CCP is not removing my Blood Raider Saga or my Ishukone Watch Saga, which I usr my BPOs on, so no they won't be useless as I would stI'll be using them the way I do now after the update.

^This. I agree with everything you said except I am NOT willing to let this slide. Once you give them an inch, CCP will take a mile, and it will be paved with the nerfed BPOs that you paid really money to get.
