Why, exactly? There are two possibilities here:

1. Project Legion is considered a completely new game
2. Project Legion is an extension of Dust514 and they transfer over items you purchased

Either way, how is a refund relevant? If it's a new game, then it's a new game. If it's the same game and they transfer what you bought (or giving you comparable deliverables if an exact one for one transfer is not available), then you aren't loosing anything.

Other thoughts:

1. There is no release date for this new project. There could be years until this comes out.
2. If you get value for the service purchased, then a refund is more akin to gettting paid to play the game. The purpose of a refund is when you get no value. I cannot imagine you would put in money into something repeatedly if you got no value for it (if you make only one purchase, then that is the exception to this concept).

I have spent a few hundred dollars as well. I enjoyed what I got from my purchases. I don't see a need for a refund, and won't be asking for one. Being upset is fine - you are entitled to your emotions. Once those have run their course, I would suggest looking back again.

And for those that have verbally attacked people over this, shame on you. (not in reference to anyone specifically, just a general comment)

I'm not on IRC but they are saying that Logibro just said they won't be transferring characters

So you can't won't be able to confirm player form 514 and legion are the same players to allocate a certain amount of SP, even if they supply the same email address.

It's not just the money, it's the hundreds of hours we put in grinding away for SP. Those of us who experienced 5-6 character wipes since closed beta were promised that we would never again have to start from scratch.

Since then we invested a huge number of hours to gain SP for progression. Take all that away and there is little incentive to start all over again. it would break the promise (I don't care if you call it a "new game", it's the replacement for DUST), and it would be the last broken promise for me.

DUST is dead, long live Legion.

That's what it sounds like with every DUST presentation being about Legion. Weren't we promised a new build we could actually play at FF? What happened to that?

CCP is hedging about character transfer, but it's not a question of "can they?". It's a matter of "do they want to?"
As was pointed out EVE still gets new subscriptions with 10 year old characters in the game, so starting with high level players is either not a problem or it will kill the game inside two years regardless as new players gain the same level.

CCP really needs to admit their plans for transfer right now, or folks will have to assume they mean to let all your DUST toons die.

My assumption is that they aren't saying because they know that making the call to make DUST a dead end will turn it into a ghost town overnight.

People misquoting me, I said exactly the same thing as I said here on IRC.

Just be straight up honest CCP Logibro, is it worth our while or not? We DUST players are on PS3, Legion is PC. What benefit is it for us to be on here?

SP is technically easier. SP is more a design question, tied into how the progression system changes.

I'll try to fight you in Destiny... Hopefully you'll be a hunter there

No, it's actually a matter of can we. There are technical questions and restrictions, policy questions (with Sony) and design questions (how do we convert experience when the progression system is different, items are different and ISK works in different ratios).

When we can answer the questions above, we'll share with you. Trust me when we say we want to let people carry over progress. But we just honestly don't know if we can do so yet.

I don't trust anything they say after today.
