People used said AUR to buy BPO modules for vehicles.
CCP decided to remove those modules entirely from the game.
Because the modules are being removed, so are the BPOs.
CCP is refunding everyone with those BPOs with their value in AUR.
People either end up with the same amount of AUR that they started with, or in some cases more than they started with.
this guy got most of it....
here's the problem with the aur refund...
these items were supposed to be permanent.
we were assured here:
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=116404&find=unread
that regardless of changes bpo's would remain in our inventories.
a month later we read this post:
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=122274&find=unread
subtly stating some bpo's were being removed due to changes that ccp are making to vehicles (this we feels opens the door to removing all bpo's)
the reason aur isn't good enough is because ccp devalued that currency by exhibiting that our purchases are not safe.
it showed us what we buy today could change tomorrow. (and this isn't the first time they did something similar with contact grenades a few months ago)
we want CCP to know for the benefit of all of us that we wont put up with these business behaviors.
SAY NO TO BPO REMOVALS!

these items were supposed to be permanent. Maybe this is unintentional on your part, but you make it seem that the BPOs are permanent in the sense that CCP will never remove them. That is incorrect. The BPOs are permanent in the sense that the dropsuits, modules, weapons, equipment and vehicles they represent don't get consumed in battle upon your death. That is what permanent means in Dust.
so it's to be semantics?
permanent is permanent...
I was never given any indication that an item I bought from ccp that implied permanence would be pulled out from under my feet in such an obtuse way....
but even so, it still doesn't change the fact that confidence in their aur has dropped making it less valuable then the aur I purchased, and certainly less valuable than the bpo.

It's not about semantics. It's about context. From the moment those BPOs were first introduced back in closed beta to the moment CCP removed them from the market, it was made very clear that those BPOs, from the general understanding of the players all the way to the dev blogs, game-review sites, and beyond, were permanent in terms of having infinite supply of said item. They were permanent because they were non-consumable in the battlefield.
and remained in your inventory....and I don't remember the exact wording anymore but blueprints were described as being permanent items in your inventory.
and lets face it was also always implied they were ours to keep.
