I can see the truth of this statement, to a certain extent. However...fact is, Dust is tacitly and, with your statement, openly, been let go of.
I don't think that CCP was fair, or particularly honest, in how it handled this.
I enjoyed the game while it lasted. I'll play another month and then I'm off to play Wildstar, an actual MMO with elements of a shooter.
I'm distressed that you have handled this community this way--I'll be avoiding future CCP products.

Dammit. I had such hopes for this. I even have boosters going through, like, August or September. I put my money down on this bet and lost. Bummer.
It's been a good ride.
(When I wasn't being destroyed by random pixels, hit by jihad jeeps, annihilated by another tank, protostomped while learning how to use an item, screamed at by teammates who "knew better", mashed because I spawned on a point that wouldn't let me move.....etc.)

Get a refund for all those boosters

If they let people transfer from Dust to Legion, it will just mean Legion will be starting out with the lack of balance Dust has... Everything should be new... If you spent $600 on this, well you wasted your money... Everyone wastes money on something at some point of their life, congrats you wont do it again, lol.

Question: Why does the progression system, items and Isk all have to work differently? Just because the new director wants everything different?

RIGHT? It sounds like legion could be done in half the time, but they don't care about player feedback, it's so stupid.

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

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)

Why was this NOT thought of from the get go ?

I have spent well over $600 supporting this game and my character has nearly 50 millions SP and over 400 million ISK. Personally, I think it would be unforgivable if CCP didn't allow Dust mercs to bring their skills and spoils with them to the new platform.

They wouldn't dare stiff us, right?

I dunno, does CCP want a bunch of uber's in their game they're trying to sell to brand new players?

Like how they try to sell EVE Online to new players? I truly doubt that they care about experienced players being inside the game, because eventually that is what you'll have to face every day.

A bigger concern is how to integrate new players into the population with high level players everywhere.

With good matchmaking and PVE content this shouldnt be a problem. Has WOW had new player problems, just because it had the first masses of lvl 60 guys after the first few weeks? No it hadnt. It ran for many more years successfully.

Most here seem to think in terms of Dust, as it is now. Dust as it is doesnt allow for more players than the rock-bottom state it has had for its lifetime. Turning it down wont cause high losses (cause there hasnt been many profits to begin with). Letting it
stand in the way of a new better game would.
