We all know its a business. Yet, its interesting to look at the respecs given after a firm stand on not giving out any, can be now done for a price. That's just one example. The Apex suits. Komora I just find the recent "bam! In your face AUR items for you to purchase plus double up your boosters" quite interesting to take note of. I find it very peculiar. I'm not implying its P2W either. I would love to know the motivations behind it but of course I won't find them. I can just have my speculations. Someone said they do this to spike up the fiscal reports. I know about that, but they haven't been this aggressive before. I really thought back and forth before making this thread. I was wondering if I would get objective observers who would discuss the parameters of the discussion in question or at least, people who have acknowledged these changes. I do understand that there's a high probable chance I will not get what I was looking for, only superficial. Or that the discussion would be warped into something else as people would want to promote their own "agendas" for lack of a better term. Yet if we stand back and look at the area of progression-none of it causes the mind to wonder a bit? Hmmm...that's interesting.

If you haven't noticed, dust has quite a bit more lifespan if people pay for it. Tell us how to get you to pay a few bucks to CCP. I already do. I'm rank 10 fucks sake...i'm here. I want patches. You want patches? You saw what was in 1.9. Would you like more where that came from? Show CCP you want more development by buying some **. Tell us what more you want...and preferably something I don't need a patch to actually make (that would defeat the purpose...) CCP needs to come out and tell you guys more, but as i've said elsewhere I'll reiterate. I am VERY satisfied where the game is going, and so long as people choose to buy enough I think we've got a lot in store for us. Ratatti isn't just good at hotfixing balance ...This guys got vision. And so long as people give him the ability to...he's not going to let you down. Zatara, that whole tirade is not necessary. And this is the CPM? Sounds like a child.

It's just good common sense that any company should do and light fires under their own butts. Why the hell are people overheating this? It's a god damn game made by a god damn company. Are we really going to start making up crazy theories of why a company suddenly wants to draw more players and make more money? Overheating? Crazy theories? Angry replies? Do you guys get any when you're outside of Dust? Do you touch a boob? Jesus christ, you guys are on edge. Just a simple curiosity I had while discussing this with another player. No ill intent. No "shaking of the bee hives". None of that. I simply wondered why after Legion has gone quiet, reports of staff structure reorganization, the recent 1.9 patch, the going back on the word of respecs, talks of EVE Valkyrie gone quiet, and PS3 is an aged console-why we such a growth in monetization unlike any other year before it. But according to some of you high strung people, one cannot question. It's simple black and white. But you and Zatara's 5 year old feet stomping rant is one of the reasons why I hesitated for a short period. I just wanted to discuss this with some people, not get whiny babies to spazz out in my thread. you guys are silly.

It has always sold things just not things that sparkle. It is the fact that in the last few weeks, there has been a sharp increase of things being sold. The Quafe suits, the return of the Mercenary Packs (that were removed for "health of the game"), market agent, APEX Suits, triple boosters, and respec. We did ask for BPO's and Respec but it is the opening of the floodgate that I think is what people should be surprised at. Thanks for this. I was surprised so I questioned.

Yeah if you think that was a tirade...I failed and you weren't paying attention. The context of your post suggested otherwise. The usage of your caps lock says otherwise. Your first answer, "so we can fund the damn game" says otherwise. There's a way to talk to people that gets your point across without resembling an agitated person who doesn't like what he's hearing or indicating that he believes the person to be just complaining about something, just to be complaining. I wanted mature answers with a mature outlook. Not some tirade. As a representative of the CPM, you should be mindful of that.
