How dare CCP try to make money off a game.

Servers aren't free bro. If you're worried about the cash grab, don't buy. You aren't missing out on too much. None of the monetization things are Pay 2 Win, they just appeal to newer players who don't want to wait for SP or Loot or whatever.

Just have some soup and calm down. Maybe some tea as well.

I'm behind them making money, what I want to see is work being put in too match the sales.
You can't say Dust has changed much, but how much have the AUR offers increased?? lots..

That is what I am trying to highlight. lots of sales, not so much work being seen.
I want CCP to make money to run Dust/Legion. I don't want to see poor marketing choices kill Dust further

- How dare a gamer care that our money is put to good use!!

Is what your reply really adds up to. I want the sales to increase. I want CCP to extort you suckers Pirate

Which is why I am complaining, these sales are petty theft compared to what CCP could manage if they put the work in

How are you being extorted? If you haven't noticed, they are pumping out some good, quality patches.

They have a roadmap.

They have progress.

What more do you want? The money IS being put to good use. Seriously, what makes you think that CCP is trying to swindle you?

TheD1CK Dead Man's Game RUST415 1547	Posted - 2014.12.19 17:33:00 - [1] - Quote So something happened to kick CCP back into action recently, lot's of added AUR sales So where is it all going??? We get Quafe BPO's (despite waiting 1yr+ for racial BPO's) We can now triple stack Boosters.. We can now instant boost after battle.. APEX suits offer a free fitting to hoard ISK Salvage can now be paid for (boxes/keys) Obviously some money-making potential for CCP, but where is it going??? I am worried about the patterns or lack of them with CCP's development.. Quafe BPO's led me to expect normal BPO variants, but instead APEX get released.. Does anyone here have any idea where APEX came from???? I see a lot of things requested on this Forum, but that was a new one for me. We have new maps, which I'm grateful for.. but at the same time they are old content, that was delayed Along with simple tweaks to others to make them more enjoyable for gameplay. These sales should help CCP, but I think it is unfair to the community to offer so many AUR options, with very little in gameplay/gamemodes and confirmed content coming SOONtm... I think all of that (Boxes/Apex/BPO/Boosters) would go much better if we were given reasons to want them. New content via maps/modes/gear is the only thing that will make mercs want to spend AUR. You cannot blame skeptical gamers from looking at this and seeing nothing but cash-grabs.

I get that CCP does mean Charity-Console-Productions ... They need money. But they could be utilizing much better imo, rather than the add-ons we are getting Seriously?? it may be my Matari heritage, but DUST is in danger of being Duck-taped into Legion Not enough in current updates shows me development, just that delayed content is being released .

First off, let me say that you wear your name very well. Secondly, the DUST team has published their roadmap for future content and have even setup a way to receive feedback. This is far and above what was expected and owed to the community for their AURUM contributions. Thirdly, please refrain from posting again as your stupidity is giving me a head ache I love this community. DEV interaction is low, and while the roadmap is active not enough is confirmed. There are glaring issues being ignored while we skip over them to add AUR features instead So the fanboi's think they paid for the Roadmap with AUR? no. it suits CCP to have it, so it's there. It gives more interaction yes, but also takes away from the underused forum we have here. meh, I just want a clearer idea of what we are spending money on APEX suits/Jara were not requested, or even spoke about before addition So it's hard to know what work is being done on Dust, and if it will be for the better If promises and a roadmap are good enough for you guys thats great, but some want gameplay fixed Shiny toys will please the masses such as the Butthurt bandit above, But the reason we have such a small playerbase is because these twats vote cosmetics over mechanics every time Shame on you

Seriously, what makes you think that CCP is trying to swindle you? OK, what solid info is confirmed? Theres a patches coming up yes, but we dont even know if CCP know whats in it Yes there is a roadmap, yes there is progress.. But 3 years into a game and at times it seems like CCP have no idea where it's going, Some of the recent additions have been good, but compared to the sales pushing, not that good. We can praise, defend or critic all we like, it won't change much with what CCP want to do. And if you actually read my post I said I want sales to increase, they should extort you - like a good company Tinfoil Dropsuits/Jara's Boobs/Keys, are poor ways to achieve that.

Is this how it ends?!?!? Depends what way you look at it, they either want to make use of everything they have Or they have given up developing new content so are releasing old gear to please the masses. - I do however think they want to test all they have and see if they need to cut anything from Legion ^But my guess is as good as yours, and we're likely both wrong Kaisar, 80% of the threads on this forum are pointless Pick on one of those instead The purpose of this thread is to remind CCP we are being sold items, building hopes for content and some of us would like to see what that is intended to be. MOAR clarity with their planning. For example, BPO's etc were removed to balance the economy in Dust... until $ The BPO's are re-released (questionable, seeing as they were supposedly a problem) Followed by APEX, not just free suits but free fittings (if BPO's screwed things up, isn't this worse?) My guess is the community would have chosen BPO parity in suits/weapons before APEX fits So the changes were not to suit the community, and to say it's for NPE? We are on a game, presumed cancelled a year ago, running on a dying console = what new players?
