Hey you paid for that nothing of your own free will, quit complaining.

And anybody who had the brains to spend $0 on dust gets a like from me. But I assume most don't mean it that way.

Please show me, or the forums in general, anywhere during the purchase agreement that states that you were buying "the future"?

Check out kickstarter sometime if you enjoy paying for some future.
You paid for vitual goods which you've had delivered, nothing else.

Here's how it works, buddy :)

You can buy a car to drive to the moon, but that doesn't mean the car manufacturer stole from you when you realize it isn't going to get you to the moon.

The way they work things like this out in the real world, where adults live, is by having a contract, or a buyer/seller agreement. This way buyers can protect themselves, and so can sellers by being very clear about what is being purchased and the liability therein. If you don't choose to read such things, and continue to imagine that that car, er Aurum, is going to get you to the moon, you have no one to blame but yourself. Especially when someone like me comes here and reminds you that the Aurum you bought is still just as functional as it was two weeks ago.

You lost nothing but your fantasy about what you bought. I know that hurts, but you'll get over it.

Buck up buttercup :)

See, this is the point - no one lied to you (except you).

Legion is Dust, just out of beta and on PC where it belongs :)

Edit: Are you actually suggesting that you thought that CCP would develop Dust for 10 years as a PS3 exclusive?

Sure thing, bye then.

I honestly told you that you have honestly not had any theft take place regarding CCP, Aurum or Dust. Go get your refund if you think it has. I'm sure they'll present you with the agreement that you obviously never read.


Oh, and that beta comment was just to give you a little friendly jab.

I don't disparage you for feeling upset, but feeling upset and accusing someone, or a company, of theft are two different things. One is reasonable, the other is ... not wise.

It is impossible, by definition, to scam accidentally. Here's the definition for reference:


scam (sk-âm) Slang
n.
A fraudulent business scheme; a swindle.
tr.v. scammed, scam-+ming, scams
To defraud; swindle.


So no, yet again, you were not swindled, defrauded, scammed, lied to or stolen from. Again, CCP has obviously failed to met your expectations, but that is all. Also, certainly it's OK to be upset about that, but throwing out baseless accusations doesn't help your case. I hope it makes you feel better though.

Stolen: nothing

But spending on Aurum and packs over the last two years: 1245,- euro (1734,- dollars)

EVE over the last 8 years: probably a hole lot more

So you see whining about 20 bucks is for *****'s

How have they misled anyone?

First - they have made an announcement - at Fanfest in fact.
Second - the game still runs and the microtransactions still work.
Third - the game will continue to run for some time (this is admittedly an assumption, but they haven't announced a closure)

So, you got what you paid for, and can continue to use what you paid for, and it works exactly as advertised and expected.

It's you people, who somehow thought that CCP was going to continue developing on a dead platform forever that are misleading yourselves.

Does the booster function as they said it would? Is it still useful in-game as advertised?

I think you can answer your own question. Again, I understand being disappointed, but be real. Everything that you have paid for has been delivered to you. That isn't the same thing as saying that everything that you hoped for has been delivered. Clearly that isn't true.

So, no, it isn't being dishonest.


Aside - Would it be dishonest for a car manufacturer to sell you super spiffy gasoline for your car and then announce that they aren't going to be adding new features to your car, and that at some point in the future, you will have to give your car back due to the lease arrangements (which you knew would have to happen eventually)?

No, it isn't. You bought the boosters because they give you an in-game advantage. They still do. They will continue to do so until the game shutters.

Everything, just because you have your expectations and make assumptions, that does not make them true.
Reality is that you bought some virtual goods and those are delivered and working as promised (you saved yourself time).

Why is it so hard to understand that you just bought a (virtual) product and not invested in future development. Whatever a company does with the income they make is up to them, they could have bought a private jet for themselves if they wanted to. You buying a product from a company does not entitle you anything else besides that product, virtual or not.


As far as the refunds go from Sony, that is their default practice as a reseller to keep you as a customer while they deal with the supplier, just like most other payment services do.
