So I find this hilarious. All these QQ'ers are crying because they spent IN GAME MONEY on IN GAME items, yet now that CCP is changing or "balancing" them they want their REAL LIFE money back?

Hmm.. Where was this outcry when CCP changed Logi suits that people spent IN GAME MONEY on that were changed and NO RESPEC or offer of reimbursement was offered? Where was the outcry when nerfs for weapons like the MD or FG were done, yet all are major changes in an item that was purchased under good faith of what it was.

Grow Up.

It's called balancing, change, improvement. Don't like what is currently on the market for AUR, then keep it and wait till they add new stuff.

BPO's ruin the economy. They make the game a pay to win game which from the start was what they were trying to avoid. They should remove every last one and tell you all to get over it.

BPO's used the word permanent to describe the fact it does NOT consume with use. NOT that it will not be changed or in this case removed from the game in order to improve the overall gameplay for EVERYONE, not just your QQ'ing cry baby selves.

Hell they are at least refunding in AUR what they currently value the BPO's at which is FAR MORE than what most of the people bought them at.

All this talk about EULA not holding up in court, how about posting proof of it. Otherwise it's heresay and just more BS spouting from the lips of those who are unhappy with a change to their precious suit versus the overall benefit to the wider expanse of the game.

Hell if CCP gave a refund on BPO's because a few forum junkies are unhappy then they should just wipe the server, do a full reset and close up the game because everyone who has ever bought ANYTHING in the game with AUR, cold hard cash or ISK has spent something on an item that has likely been removed, tweaked, nerfed or otherwise changed and therefore due reimbursement.

This has always been since dusts inception. If a new player wants to try out a weapon at a higher grade then let them do it in peace. Stop telling people how to spend their money and freaking everyone out. Those who lost the four aur items got their aur back and then some.

Disagree with CCP's policy? Stop playing ... This will make them look more after their customers.

If you want a game that stays the same since release i would suggest CoD,

You must be new to capitalism...

If your a new merc pay close attention. Ccp relys on new mercs and their money to support this game. As of now anything you purchase from ccp can be taken and or changed including boosters, bpo, aur consumables etc etc, over the past 6 months they have repeatedly done this and worse as they now have started refusing reimbursement for these aur items purchased no matter the amount. My advice to all new players do not purchase anything from this game until this company agrees to change this policy for reimbursement when aur items are then either taken or changed....

Problem is OP, the time to dispute the terms of a contract is not after you have signed it. Creating your character and loging in are as good as a signature, and unfortunately for you, you either did not read the EULA (I sure as hell didn't), or you saw something that you didn't like yet you signed anyway. There is no way around it, and you are going to have to suck it up and deal with it.

I'm no lawyer by any means, but if CCP is following the contract they had you sign, and you are the one attempting to wiggle your way out of a possibility that was pointed out and explained before you agreed to the contract, technically you are the one in the wrong, and if CCP wanted to be d*cks about it, they could probably come after you for breach of contract.

You told CCP whenever you started playing that you understood they would be fully within their legal rights to do what they are currently doing, and you became a part of a legal binding document. The time to fight this was before you agreed to the EULA, it's to late now man. Sorry.

As I said, the time for your issues was before agreeing to the EULA. You can do whatever you feel is needs to be done, but you don't seem to understand CCP is not a Mom and Pop corner store. They covered their bases, and you did not. They put the EULA in place to protect themselves from issues such as this one. They are a business.

If you don't mind sharing, did you not read the EULA, or did you just figure CCP would never exercise their legal right to screw with their licenced property?

I personally own some Dren BPOs and a Saga LAV BPO. CCP has said those are mine to keep, though I would not be surprised at all if one day they are taken from me, seeing as how the EULA clearly states CCP can do whatever they want with the equipment i've purchased. And of course, if the claim is these changes are for the greater good of the game (a game you liked enough to spend money on), I am all for it.

Anyway good luck or whatever.

I understand completely what the OP wants. He can take shots at me and everyone else all he wants, it doesn't change any of the facts. You can champion "changing the way things work" all you want, it's no skin off my balls.

You ever gonna answer the question OP? Did you not read the EULA? Or did you just ignore what it said?

Anyway, y'all have fun trying to pretend your argument pertains to anything other than a legal binding document, I hope your crusade goes nicely.

I, however, cannot support your cause. Maybe because i'm an @sshole, or maybe because I can read, i'll let you decide.

lol. This isn't about a contract, it's about the balance of good and evil, it's about the duality of man, it's about each persons right as an individual to pursue the video game dream laid before all human kind by video god.

Actually, no, it is about a contract.

You see, because of near sighted folk like you ridiculous things like EULAs exist.

Imagine, a world where CCP is unable to continue development of their game because whenever an individual player decided they did not want something in the game to change, they would cry and moan and force CCP to keep things as they are.

In your video game utopia, the flaylock is still as effective as a light weapon, the mass driver is still raining a never ending death, and BPOs of modules that are being removed from the game are still in players inventories because "it's not about legalities".

If CCP was forced to stick with anything any random player didn't want changed, Dust would be jacked up beyond belief. If your beef is about getting your refund, you would be better off not showing your @ss on the forums and dealing with CCP in a respectful mannor, and in private.

If your beef is the way CCP runs it's business, as I said good luck, let me know how it all works out for ya ;-0

You may play DUST 514 by downloading and using CCP's proprietary software (the "Software"). Using the Software allows you to log into CCP's client system (the "System") and interact within the game environment created by CCP. CCP also operates the game EVE Online, which interacts with DUST 514 and is run using the same System.

To play DUST 514, CCP requires that you review and agree to the following terms and conditions of this End User License Agreement ("EULA").

**which contains nuggets such as**

CCP does not guarantee that it will continue to offer access to the System or support the Game. CCP may, in its sole discretion, cease to provide any or all of the services offered in connection with DUST 514 (including access to the System and any or all features or components of the Game)
