They removed BPOs of items that they were removing from the game, specifically a few vehicle modules when the vehicle revamp came out. That's very different than "zomg CCP is taking our BPOs". Oh not one of you people. The BPOs were easily replaceable with equivalents from the new content, and some people only bought aurum in the first place to get their hands on those very BPOs. Without them their refund was worthless. It was the single biggest middle finger to their customers I've ever seen CCP give.
There wasn't anything equivalent, that was the whole point of the removal.
Not to mention they refunded the AUR spent to make said purchase, with some receiving more aur then they spent.
If that's an issue for you, then your entire idea of giving back BPOs for AUR makes little sense. |

If that's an issue for you, then your entire idea of giving back BPOs for AUR makes little sense. I already addressed the refund issue. What value is aurum if the items you purchased it for no longer exist. My idea makes sense because this one is optional. Nobody's taking these BPOs. We get to decide which option is most appealing.
The value of 100 aur is 100 aur regardless of personal opinions of worth changing your perspective. With your logic, I assume you would have been fine with keeping your BPOs even though they were no longer going to be usable.
CCP changed their game. It's stated they will be changing their game. They refunded exactly what you spent. You made the decision to spend real life currency for fantasy money, in a game that can change. That was your decision.
Should Blizzard give me my money back for Diablo 2 after removing the mutliplayer? I wouldn't have bought it if it was just a single player game. The answer is no.
Oh, and I spent cash for my BPO. Not aurum. Are you expecting CCP to start selling out a 100$ to everyone who bought the den merchandise pack?

Out of context perhaps.
But when referring to your personal opinion that, just because you "feel" that the value of the aurum was lessened by the removal of the BPO you received a refund for, doesn't mean it's fact.
The value of the aurum hasn't changed because you personally[/b wouldn't spend it on something that isn't a BPO.
Hence my statement. [b]Your personal opinion of its worth doesn't change its value.

Hence my statement. [b]Your personal opinion of its worth doesn't change its value. That isn't out of context. You just doubled down on that context. The only value ANY currency has is the value assigned to at the point of an exchange. If this were not the case, currency would not exist at all.
Correct.
And as I've stated for the 3rd time now, your personal opinions haven't changed the value of aur nor will they ever change its value.
I would say I'm surprised you aren't comprehending this, but after continuing to read your responses in this thread.... |
