Here is a transcript of the secret Dev Development meeting for Warlord 1.0 (German accents were added for effect)
CCPToady: Sir I tink zee players have fee-gured out that the Encrypted Stongboxes are a scam. No one is buying zee keys anymore. Vhat are we going to do?
CCPMidas: Fear not little toady I have devised a NEW scheme to get zee players to buy zee aurum! I call it zee warbarge. Players can upgrade their warbarges to do mostly pointless things, but zomevhere down the line we promise them something useful, but don't tell them where, or tell them exactly how manzy upgrades it will take. Zey may only upgrade very slowly unless they buy componets for zee aurum.
CCPToady: Oh zou mean like one of those sthupid phone games?
CCPMidas: ZES exzachly!
CCPToady: Excellent sir! I'll get to work on it right away. Heil Spero!
CCPMidas: Heil Spero!

HAVE to spend money? HAVE to? There was no other way for him to obtain what he purchased for AUR? None at all? Or does he just want instant gratification and had buyers remorse?
**** go try out Warframe and you'll understand what an expensive Cash Shop looks like.

**** go try out Warframe and you'll understand what an expensive Cash Shop looks like. I think monetization is quickly becoming the driving force behind all of Dust 514's new "features", but I will agree that some other games are doing monetization incorrectly. Warframe is probably one of them.
Having said that, just because one company is doing it way way way wrong, doesn't give CCP permission to do it kind-of wrong.

I guess I don't see how people feel forced to purchase AUR. Yeah there are ads, but so what? We see ads constantly in our everyday lives, and sure they're annoying but it's really not that big of deal. In what instance are you forced to purchase AUR in Dust to make use of its features?

I probably won't even bother using the dumb warbarge. You have to go in and claim the products before you hit your cap at which point manufacturing halts.

And that's my beef. People are actually annoyed to a point of complaining because of a (!) appearing on the screen. But who knows, to each his own. I guess I don't sweat the small stuff.

I wonder if anyone has put together the time waiting on components versus the aurum it takes to fully upgrade.
Then we can have how much time is worth in aurum.
Then we can put that up against the ISK conversion.
Then we can start charging for our mercenary services by the hour.
Thanks CCP, now I'm a prostitute.

Because it's a stupid annoying little (!) that pisses people off. It's petty on their part and irk's their player base with probably little actual revenue driven from it.
I'm fine with them making money, but lately it's getting ridiculous.

If you want to turn down the ads a bit, that's fine, but understand that they're going to exist in one form or another because they want to get players to actually spend money on the game. I totally understand where you're coming from, just remember that the game actually has to make money too.
Honestly I much prefer a subscription based model anyways.

I only spend 20 USD in this game... (Mercenary Pack), basic gall scout BPO, Toxic sub BPO, 40,000 AUR for RESPEC, the best choice ever...
A good invest of AUR it's buying boosters or Apex, a BPO. buying Keys or expendable weapons-suits are bad invest.
Maybe I could spend another 20... or 25 (veterans pack) but no more.
Many people pay $19.00 for Destiny- Dark Below DLC... and it's a crap.

I would argue that people are being overly sensitive if they're so enraged by it. Like I get that it could be annoying so some but I think the reaction is a little over the top....regardless. I actually like it because it reminds me to reup my passive booster. Perhaps a setting that allows players to turn off AUR-based notifications? Because I'd hate to have it removed because I find that feature useful, but I can understand why people would want to turn it off.

Perhaps keep the F2P model but for and optional $15 a month you can get a care package of stuff for a better deal than if you had purchased it separately. Perma single boosters, a couple handful of keys, ect. Keep BPOs and whatnot a alacart purchase, but **** like boosters, keys, other **** I consume on a regular basis....I'll pay a monthly fee for that.

My only main issue with the war barges that components can only be earned through passive production via the facility and then through direct Aurum purchases, which means that we have yet another feature that isn't directly impacted by us, the players, actuall playing the bloody game.
Now, if components could be armed through salvage rewards, or even better yet, constructed by melting down certain types or tiers of assets into "goo" that can then be reconstructed into components, then we have a feature that will make me play the game more, because I'm scavenging crap for my crap war age in an effort to make it less crap. It's not rocket/war barge science, folks.

120k???
He totally did it wrong then, you only need like 30k if you straight line for it.

A good idea. A setting would be nice. Something like NeoComm Aurum alerts or whatever.
These (!) just rub it in your face that you have however many hundred/thousand strongboxes that you'll never have keys too and can't sell unless you spend a ridiculous amount of aurum on them for something most would agree are not worth it. You can't even sell/destroy the strongboxes.
Edit: i think it's the fact that there is an alert for something that will never go away, every player will ALWAYS have this alert. That's just stupid.
