So wait, you spend 40k AUR without this you get NOTHING additionally, but now that you get this dropsuit you are actually ranting?

CCP marketing... you win customer good will by lowering your prices, not trying to convince people to spend more to gain access to an ultimately worthless dropsuit that is only good for collection purposes, which people already have plenty of.
With lower prices, you see, I am more likely to be giving you my repeated business because I feel like i'm getting a good deal for the investment. When you try to price gouge me and just get me to spend a ridiculous amount like this, I am far more likely to take personal offense and walk away. |

So you assume everyone have plenty of those suits by how? Why do you think people don't want free stuff?
FREE.
STUFF?
They had discounts and discounts. Bonus is always welcome with a purchase in my book. |

The discounts they have are still a higher price than the base itself should be.
Looking at the base price of boosters at the moment, they could all stand to be a hell of a lot lower.
And I assume you have black eagle suits because, you know, they KEEP GIVING THEM AWAY. |

I agree, they probably didn't even look to see what people may have left from past assignments of this suit. I think I have all my past black eagle suits some 150 to 200.

What is 100,000 AUR? $50? Spend $50 and get 100 suits. I think officer gear would be a better deal. you could also get 100 suits free if you didnt play dust for 30 days.

As a historical buyer and spender of aurum it will be a firm "pass" on this one. A chain of events have led to aurum being a lot less attractive. I still have about 20K left but there is nothing to spend it on. I have a stock of active and passive boosters, there are no more BPO's, and there are still no vanity skins or aurum-respecs so that leaves just expendable items which I can already use (so I just use the ISK version) or items I have no intention of using.
You need to develop more value-add propositions in the form of new merc packs or introduce new items to buy with aurum to make the currency attractive. |

Hah, another instance of marketing being pants-on-head crazy. Absurd prices with the "appeal" of getting more suits you just gave us? And suits that are so situational your best bet is just keeping them to sell as collector's items when the player market hits....
Tsk, tsk. Apparently CCP had some really derpy "deals" planned before the CPM could weigh in. Let's hope that's what happened anyway... Can CPM please relay the faceplant of this offer to the marketing team? Thanks.
CCP please give me something of good value. Promise you won't be seeing a penny until general prices are lower and value is higher.

I have to admit, this does seem kind of lame. To anyone not skilled into Scouts (Gallente, if you want the suit bonuses) Black Eagles are a novelty item at best. If the player market was open it might be different.

I think it's because to many people the OP seems to be trying make it sound like a better deal than it is. Don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against freebies, it's just that if you don't specialize in Scouts these suits aren't of much use, unless we can sell them to each other. (hint, hint)

The future market will likely be without aurum. The are trying to get us to spend what aurum we have saved up to get it out of the system. Also it's possible if you're like me you have a lot saved up they want us to get rid of it so when something like a lucrative booster sale comes back we'll buy more aurum. As much as I'd like to spend 100,000 of my saved up aurum I'd want a booster deal and a prize that isn't so.....meh. This comes from a Gallente who likes black eagles.
Ion pistol... CCP you tease, please be in 1.7 or you guys are asses.

Free stuff is ALWAYS welcome, BUT enuf with the Black eagles, in the start i was thinking COOL some special suits that will be worth selling later on, but the Price will dump the more of them there are 
Im NOT a Gallante scout and i never will be, so they have NO value to me AT ALL, exept to sell them for some isk later when the marked opens, but now they are given avay by the thousinds they will be worthless.

Cute name pretty bad on the deal if you actually wanted people to take it seriously. Discounts work a lot better than trying to give people so few Black Eagles and really a very high cost. This seems to be an ongoing scenario where CPM clearly have been left out.
The only thing at this point as a veteran player are boosters and the extinct blueprints. You need to reach a point where what your selling gives value to the player, not disposable items that have an extremely short life span especially right now with the TKK being so low.

Interesting...
I'm curious of one thing and would like to remind the community of another.
a.) Why have this special on a Friday after the booster sale? The boosters' price wasn't lowered significantly enough to where you didn't have to buy the 40,000 Aurum package so having the two deals accompanying one another would have gone a long way to increase revenue and reduce some of the acid spewing in this thread (though I'd imagine that would have still persisted because community
b.) You got pissed off whenever they offered returning players the Black Eagle and Quafe suits but when provided an opportunity to get them the result is endless complaint - sorry to say but this is turning hyperbolic very quickly and even I'm not able to take the rest of you very seriously on this teeter-totter of "I want it but you're not giving it to me correctly" shenanigans!
Anyway, said my piece. Thanks =D

Yeah...really tired of your bullsh-t CCP, first you do the whole don't tell us the packages are going to be removed for an entire month while a PS store sale was happening, then you pull a weak, and I mean truly pathetic weak sale pitch during black friday. You need to get your heads in the game, do some sales and marketing that I'd actually care about. Like I don't know, spend this amount you get 4 options of what you want, like I would really love a few new tanks to oh so go along with the vehicle patch that is coming up? Maybe some LAV's or something to actually showcase what the next patch is going to be and actually get us excited for it ahead of time?
Your marketing and sales team needs basic training in how to sell products and market them, they have no clue on what the player base actually wants or will purchase and have done month after month of weak ass pathetic sales. Given a chance I could easily double the sales permanently on Dust 514 and it wouldn't even take me the entire weekend to plan it out and how to impliment it. As I am sure many other people here who could do the same thing, but once again its your heads up your asses gawking and unable to actually cope with what the players want from you, such as timely news reports, when sales are going to happen, when and why products are going to disappear.
In short, fire your marketing and sales team, they are dead weight, get someone who actually knows what they are doing and actually plays video games. |

You should have came up with a better deal than that. You should have gave everything 25 or 50 percent off Aurum items. I would have went for that, you are giving a suit that we already have and its not even good to begin with. I would rather just use the blueprint dropsuits when you first start this game, those are more useful in battle and its free. |

It's better than nothing, right? If you weren't planning on spending Aurum then fine, but if you were even slightly considering it, here is a free bonus.

I just noticed something. The picture in the Dev Blog shows a completely different Black Eagle Scout. It's actually the ORIGINAL Black Eagle paint scheme with the white trimmings. The ones we were given during the November Event were just all black and nothing else.
CCP, thank you for hotfixing the knives. But please make sure they're at their full potential in 1.7.

Even with a new paint scheme( which is way cooler than the ones everyone got a few weeks ago) the suit is STILL useless in combat unless you are a true scout.

Unfortunately they edited the picture so that you can't see the pistol anymore.
They also send us an e-mail with a picture of that scout without the pistol.
Anyway here's the original pic: http://web.ccpgamescdn.com/dust/news.control/65485/1/BE-suit.jpg

No. No it is not. Do no use this argument, ever. It's a toxic statement that basically says "I'll be happy with anything you give me".
I mean, I could come to your house and leave a steaming pile of *fecal matter* on your desk. At least it's something, right?

With lower prices, you see, I am more likely to be giving you my repeated business because I feel like i'm getting a good deal for the investment. When you try to price gouge me and just get me to spend a ridiculous amount like this, I am far more likely to take personal offense and walk away.
Excellent. Agreed.

Lol, all these people saying we get free stuff when you have to spend 20 dollars just to get 20 of these worthless dropsuits. Also, telling us the day before an event is not how you advertise an event. If you want people to spend more AUR, make everything 50% off and they will buy things up like candy from a pinata. Or, better yet, make it so we can re-spec our skills for 40k AUR. I be you EVERYONE would buy that, multiple times even.
One more thing, stop pushing the black eagle suit. It sucks and is only good if you have proto gallente scout, proficiency 5 in shotgun, 5 in profile dampening, 5 in all the skills that increase stamina/make you run faster so that it is actually worth it to run those suites and get a lot of kills since you will be fast, nearly undetectable until you're right ontop of someone, and your shotgun hits like a truck. |

Lol when I told people not to complain about the black eagle suits some got for inactivity, they said I was just jealous.
Now we got people saying it isn't even worth purchasing, the suits are paper-thin, novelty items, even when some of you probably use boosters and will end up getting them anyway.
Might be a pun on Black Friday, but the irony of this situation probably has the whole of CCP in tears laughing.

I would spend it on a re-spec however. So wait, you spend 40k AUR without this you get NOTHING additionally, but now that you get this dropsuit you are actually ranting? Logic. It does not exist.
It's people like you who have no logic. Look at this in perspective of CCP. Why would they run any sort of promotion? The same reason any company runs a promotion, to encourage people to buy more of their products. So, with that in mind, how well does this promotion meet that goal? Do you honestly think people who normally would not have bought anything with Aurum are going to now because of the Black Eagle suits? It's like saying Best Buy offers a deal, "Spend $50 and get 10 sticks of gum!" It's not that people are complaining about free stuff, it's that people are laughing about how terrible of a promotion idea it is and that someone at CCP actually thought it would be a good promotion and thus lacks even more logic than you.

I love this community for the most part! If the people behind this Free To Play Model should take any advice from any other Free To Play Model, is to take some from Warframe! Seriously! Most everything except boosters are free, even the cosmetics you can get for free. I spent more money on this game than any other game, and I've spent money on Dust 514 when it was in closed beta, but since then the idea of spending money when you can get any permanent items is just horrible sounding to me. This game seems more like pay to win even though it isn't.
My point is the marketing team should be fired for this black friday idea was horrible, and after the seventy percent off they still don't give us what we really want to spend money on? WTF somebody get their heads out of their asses, make a black friday suit that is super OP and you get to pick what type of black friday suit you get when you spend enough money on their never ending money draining consumables. Those suits I have described sound more like something I would buy and everybody in the community would fight over. And the hardest part would be figuring out whether to use them in stomping competition, or saving them to sell for tons of money on the players market once released. Sure that's pay to win but it's more fun way of pay to win in my opinion anyways. These tin suits that are scout suits should never be bonus suits, because they are the weakest suits, and should only be bonus if they can turn invisible or some crazy stuff that offsets the thin armor. Enough said.

Actually, I agree with this. The above idea would be even WORSE than the deal going on now. Though, now that all AUR items (exept Boosters) will be 70% off, I'll actually buy some AUR. Though, I won't do it for the free crap eagles that I will get.
Once the player market opens, those are going on the market so fast. |

Everything I looked at is only 30% off!! Wtf is that about CCP? Wolf man suit is normally 100aur now is 70aur. That equals 30% discount.
I guess CCP skipped simple math class!! I was excited about the discount at first

Those Black Eagles are worth about your average blueberry competency level.
I want to get a couple things to try anyway so i buy an Aurum pack but those Black Eagles are going on sale the moment player market opens up and i will heavily discount the price to those who buy in bulk. Heck im even open to price negotiation.
Any takers for pre-order?
Nothing wrong with this type of event but the prize for spending is meh. Take it or leave it but you can sell it back to get your money back if your optimistic. ANYWAY Thanks CCP However you would have caught more fish with purchasing x amount and getting x Omega Booster or Officer gear
Gotta use that premium stuff to get the big fish!

Its not going to make me spend any AUR but its certainly not a bad sale.
I'd be pissed if CCP offered some otherwise unobtainable item with this promotion. Thanks for not doing that!
Certainly AUR players will love this and appreciate the free suits but the promotion fails to appeal to player like myself who are interested at this point in only boosters and vanity items.
