..but I am no cash cow either.
I do not like the direction in which Dust514 goes, in the way with how much money I have to invest to be a full member of the game.
So here is my feedback.
My first complain is about Omega booster and their pricing.
Yesterday I was browsing in the AURUM buy section and have seen 150Gé¼ for a lot of aurum and 30 day (active + passive) omega booster.
You can have the same deal without Omega booster for 100Gé¼.
So to get the full potential of the game, CCP think it is worth to pay 50Gé¼ a month.
Let's think about it. 50 Gé¼. For digital items that are gone afterwards.
For 50Gé¼ I get a brand new game, or a candle light dinner with my wife, or...nah I think I made my point clear.
Even if we put that aside and think of it as a monthly fee, like it is in modern MMORPG, it is way to high.
My second complain is about the grinding that will come with the patch.
Faction warefare and its new booster.
Nice work. To get the full potential there, you need two of them!
I am really interested what that shall cost....
And more over you do not even get ISK.
To get it right. One of those points I can put away, but if this direction goes on, I am not sure if I like the result.
It remembers me when Incarna came for EVE.
And I must thank all players that raged against the stuff that CCP tried to introduce.
In that time I was younger and innocent. Thought that those capsuleers overreacted.
But when I see how much money is taken here, I am very glad that players showed CCP that to much greed will have an reaction.
What do you think?
Oh and before I forget it: Most people defending CCP and there price model have one argument: "You don't have to buy it.".
And my answer to that is: Yes that is right. You have only to die (hopefully far in the future). I do not have to play this game, but I want it. I like it and I do not want to see it ruined by greed.

did these numbers for my similar post its based on the 200k+25k aurum packs
current costs to run full boosters
28k x's 2 = 56k aurum 56/225 x's 100 = 24.8%
UK cost = $33.6 per month
US cost = $24.8 per month
assuming LP boosters cost the same next months full booster cost.
28k x's 3 = 84k arum 84/225 x's 100 = 37.3%
UK cost = $50.35
US cost = $37.33
agree 100%
they will put people off playing if its too much |

Call me a dirty capitilist but they ought to charge whatever gives them the best profit
Less cost = more buyers
More cost = less buyers

I guarantee they have not found their equilibrium.

The only time I used a booster was when they gave us a free one for the 3x SP event last month. I wouldn't even consider paying for a product that's not even competed. |

So who's holding a weapon on you and forcing you to spend real money on the game? If you don't like the price, don't buy it. Boosters and aurum gear are not necessary. They're there so impatient people with money to burn can buy a time advantage.
Boosters = faster SP gains.
Aurum gear = lower skill requirements on higher tier gear.
The forge gun splash radius nerf has not diminished my ability to kill infantry with it. Thank you.

Or people like me who aren't impatient but have to work long hours, so can't grind out 180k sp a week. I still want to compete and participate in PC so I buy a couple of boosters and aur gear. If the aur exchange rate wasn't so high I'd be able to catch up in sp compared to the players I see in PC.

Sp is everything in this game I am happy CCP is adding aurum gear to the lp store because it destroys the p2w arguement by offering lp gear to players who grind for it. CCP needs to add the player to player market so we can buy boosters with isk honestly it would destroy any p2w arguments.
