So instead of getting 2000 AUR you got 20.000 AUR. prices where aswell adjusted and dont forget that before the game went life all vets could purchase each BPO for like 30AUR per piece. As soon the game was officially live for the public the AUR pricetags skyrocket to that what you can see today.
Actually, they multiplied the AUR by a factor of 20. It used to be $20 for 2,000 AUR. Now it's $20 for 40,000 AUR. You may notice that EVE still sells it as $20 for 2,000 AUR (Or 1 PLEX). Their AUR and our AUR are not equivalent, because they wanted to allow people to buy stuff with smaller amounts of money in DUST.

Being able to buy a full set of militia bpos for a couple of bucks? reasonable. Hell, it would make an awesome starter pack on the PSN store. $5 Rookie bundle with all the infantry militia bpos! Have a customizable set of no-skill fittings to fall back on!
But $2 a module? $6 for the guns and dropsuits? Over $100 for all of them? What the ****?
A full militia fit is like 5,000 isk
It would take an immense amount of skill and effort to deliberately lose more isk than you earned at the end of the match with a non-bpo militia fit
OMG, I love your idea of the rookie bundle. I would buy 2! one for me and one to try and convince a friend to play.
But if someone wants to spend 100 dollars then let them. They obviously have way more spending money than we do (and waaaaay more than me). But for most people, they don't need or want all of the BPO's. They already have some. The starter fits!!!
I have Caldari starter fits. I just need to make some small tweaks to get them the way I want and I'm good for FW. I need militia nanohives, militia armor repairs, and maybe militia shield extenders, and I'm done. That's like 6 dollars (the price of a venti Starbucks drink).

It was a factor of 10
I don't know if there was a period of time in the closed beta when it was $1 for 1k aur but when I started merc packs gave 4k aur for $20, and the $20 aur only option was 5k aur. I've still got the email receipts
then they increased it by a factor of 10 without really even dropping the prices on anything
consumable modules that cost 1/10th of their current price might have actually been a steady source of income, instead of a thing I rarely buy a couple of to test out a proto suit, or never buy at all now that the LP store has taken that role.
$1 for ~5 advanced fittings made entirely out of aur consumables? **** that, I'll lose them in a single match. I'm not paying $2 to play with a loadout for 10 respawns.
But if they actually went ahead and dropped consumables by a factor of 10, and got me 50 fits for a buck? The amount of money I would have wasted on this game might have doubled from all the impulsive $1.99 aur purchases to stock myself with 100s of dropsuit fittings to grind away in pub matches, and 50 suits would still barely last a couple of days. The only time I have ever used aurum consumables was when they were gifted to me in a newsletter and during closed beta when I knew they would all be refunded.
ergh I'm getting all ranty now but the prices on everything other than the skillpoint boosters just seem poorly thought out
then again, this is the $60 monocle microtransaction company, so I guess I should be happy a single aur dropsuit loadout is under 1 dollar  |
