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.

You cannot blame skeptical gamers from looking at this and seeing nothing but cash-grabs. I'm thinking it's coming from CCP Z, he's still with the company as far as i know. When we think about it, what has DUST really gotten from the Legion group? Maps is the only tangible item i can think of, tbh. The rest of the new stuff, i.e. AUR Store, looks like it is all coming out of Legion's Marketing department. If Rouge is sticking with the UR3 engine shouldn't we be seeing some code optimizations and fixes for the game's core mechanics? We did get some optimizations that Rattati said would give us improved framerate. PSN: RationalSpark

If you go look at the metacritc user reviews and tally up the issues peeps have with the game, it comes out at something like: core fps mechanics: 200 lack of features: 20. Eve integration and PVE aside, peeps don't seem overly concerned with new features. Core mechanics on the other hand continue to drive new players from the game. PSN: RationalSpark
