Put it this way, they have chosen to take out these BPO units for a reason, if they choose to do the same, but consider the reason why?

Player Market maybe?

This right here is what is called the "Slipper Slope" fallacy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope

The slippery slope basically posits that by taking one small steps, increasingly large and drastic steps are then going to come of it until one arrives at an extreme conclusion.

The reason these 4 module BPOs were removed were because the modules themselves are being removed, as part of the larger vehicle rebalancing. If these BPOs stayed in your inventory, they would become useless, and serve no purpose other than being able to see it in your inventory. Instead they opted to remove the BPOs as well as the base items, and issue a refund.

Items like the Sevr suit, and Exile ar are unlikely to be removed for much the same reason these BPOs were removed. They were removed because the relevant item NO LONGER EXISTS. For the Sevr and Exile BPOs to be removed in similar fashion would require that their respective suit and weapon be removed from the game in some future re-balancing. This, while in CCP's ability to do so, is highly unlikely to occur, and making wild accusations on such notions are unstable at best.

These changes to vehicles were posted over a month ago, and have been on the front page of this forum for that amount of time. It should have been readily obvious that any BPOs for any items that were getting removed were also going to be removed or modified in some manner.

that removing these bpo's opens the door for them to remove all bpo's

who will care when its their bpo LAV?

Sevr suit?

exile ar?

when will this action be too much for you to continue your support of a company that is careless with your money?

exile ar?

actually in regards to taking away the exile dragonfly and any bpo purchased in a pack and not bought with aur would be illegal.

the only reason they can legally remove the bpo's that they are is because they are in market bpo's bought with aur ..so the purchase of the aur is the transaction that has a binding contract on it..not the in market purchase of bpo's with aur

however in the case of the exile lav bpo's and allot of other bpo's they were bought in packs off the psn...real money was exchanged for those specific items..do you understand the difference between the vehicle bpo's and the pack bpos explained thusly?

The only BPOs worth crying over are the Templars. Those cost serious cash to obtain (except for those who traded isk). Maybe the Dren stuff too. $100 is $100. Everything else is hardly worth the effort to QQ about. Save your energy, there are bigger worries then CCP ripping you off.

pretty much with the bpo's that they are removing players bough aur then they spent the aur in game for bpo's..thus the aur cannot be taken away from them..the bpo's can...

however with packs there was no mid way currency change if you bought a merc pack or elite pack those bpo's are legally untouchable by ccp they could not take away the vet pack bpo saga without replacing it with a bpo lav because of this

in my interpretation its all real money....

the aur I bought when there were bpo's on the market is worth more than the aur they will give me now because there are no longer as attractive items for purchase.

but what if they removed LAV'S? then it would be worthless right? you would have a bpo you cant use...

do you see the folly in that argument yet?

if they removed lavs entirely ..that would probably have real legal ramifications as i said those lavs cannot be touched..well at least the ones that came with the vet pack

The problem then is in your interpretation. It doesn't matter what you think. You can QQ all you want. All that matters is what is legal.

You can strike, lead a moral crusade, whatever. Have fun!

Players buy items for AUR.

Months later CCP makes changes to the system, the item that the Players bought will no longer be functional because of this. Instead of leaving the useless item in the players inventory, CCP gives the players a full AUR refund, even though nothing says they have to provide a refund at all.

Players resort to blackmail, silly legal action, and name calling.

CCP doesn't sound like the bad guy to me...

The slippery slope fallacy starts with a relatively small issue, and balloons it into something preposterous.
That is not the case here. We have started with the forcible removal of some BPOs, and it has been suggested that this means CCP is not averse to doing the same again in the future. There is no slope being traversed here.

What you are using is called the fallacy fallacy; where you dismiss an argument on the basis of it using a fallacy, without addressing any of the details of the argument itself.

but the aur they are giving me is worth less than the aur I bought because items I could purchase before that had more value no longer exist....

Fortunately, that is only your opinion, and thus holds no legal value.

ever own a business?

customer opinion matters greatly.

Until other customers realize the complainer is just a whiny, self-entitled brat. After working in customer service for many years, it's easy to spot the terrible customers. As a business owner, I neither want, nor support, those customers.

I own several and I would have told you to take your whiny business elsewhere.

You're just a whiny child who has never been told no. Get over it. You have no legal action, nor any legal recourse against CCP. All you are doing is being an attention *****.

As for another saying they legally cant remove BPO's from Merc packs, Sorry, but you're wrong. They can if they so decide and you have no legal leg to stand on there either.

It's funny how many whiny posts the OP has made on this subject. Guess what. You're no more special than anyone else who has been affected by changes, updates, etc.

Just because YOU don't find anything of value on the market doesn't make it CCP's fault. They are giving you a return on your investment. Don't like it, stop investing and go elsewhere. Go back to your P2W game model.

Let us adults enjoy some adult fun.
