I kind of have to agree with this. Eve online does have skill books that boost rewards for missions and I think loyalty points. Why not implement that here in DUST?
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

I have to agree that they do have to make money somehow. I can confirm that many of the Eve Online players don't like it when their subscription money is being used for a console game rather than focusing on further improving Eve Online.
But overall, it should have been better to just allow Dust players to buy vanity items with AUR instead. There are plenty of Dust players out there who would love to waste AUR on vanity items.

I have to agree with royal. The LP boosters can present a problem for the secondary market as they can negatively affect the buy-selling price of items traded between players for ISK. Again, aurum for vanity items would have been the better choice.

As long as CCP only removes the LP boosters from the market and let players burn through the current inventory they stocked up on, I don't see a problem with removing them later on. In fact, this will only increase their worth on the secondary market if CCP removes them.

Like I said, I seem to have a problem with the LP Boosters in how they can affect the secondary market. This will just devalue the worth of Loyalty Points which in turn will devalue the ISK worth of the item when it's sold on the secondary market.
Keep in mind that Eve Online's economy will be merging with the Dust economy here.
Again, vanity items should be the way to go. I can think of a bunch of vanity items that even players like Yelsha might like to spend their AUR refund on.
1. Permanent Paint Bucket for weapons, vehicles, and dropsuits.
2. Ability to purchase items from the Noble Exchange (Eve Online store) once Dust avatars can be dressed up.
3. Decorative Items for the MQ
4. The ability to expand the MQ
5. Ability to turn their AUR into AUR Tokens so they can trade them away for ISK (Eve has AUR tokens).
6. Implement the "Skill-Back Booster" that was suggested earlier by a fellow player: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=86041&find=unread
That's just off the top of my head.
I can understand SP boosters and all, but LP boosters is something I don't honestly feel comfortable with.

Not right now, but it's threatening to become so with the introduction of LP boosters.
However, there is a way to effectively allow these AUR LP boosters without endangering the incoming secondary market...
...wait for it...
Introduce secondary market and allow boosters of all kinds to be tradable for ISK. Pay to win problem solved.
