* ISK: No way in hell. The money faucet from PC and even selling crap to the NPC has made the economy in DUST way lopsided and beyond repair. If there is ever going to be an absence of the NPC market, I think CCP would want a clean slate and not people with billions of ISK.
* AUR: Yes. I don't expect DUST Aurum to ever equal EVE Aurum though. The amounts are too different to where it is like 8 DUST AUR to 1 EVE AUR. Plex is 15 dollars and you get 3,500. The cheapest and most inefficient way of buying Aurum in DUST is 5 dollars for 10,000 and even just 20 dollars gets your 43,000. That being said, it is still money that we spent on the game. Not having this is a spit in the face of those that spent money on the 'testing phase' of {Insert name of new New Eden FPS on PC and/or PS4}.
* SP: Yes. People spent real money.
* LP: Yes.
* Faction Standing: Yes.
* DK: Dunno. The system might be totally different.
* BPOs: Yes. You spent money.
* SKINs: There is absolutely no reason why this wouldn't be yes. SKIN's do nothing but do cosmetic stuff and people spent cash money on them.
* Gear/Suits/Assets: I doubt it. Just like why I don't think ISK will transfer.
* Social Stuff: Character names, Corporations, etc. are all essential to making our 'previous lives' not feel totally worthless.
If it comes down to not getting stuff that people spent money on (Aurum items, SP, BPO's**, SKIN's), I don't think I will play. Or, if I do, you can expect me to basically never spend a dollar on the game again.
I think BPO's are going to be the biggest problem. If "SOOT 625" is going the route of Legion where everything is already a BPO, that means that the BPO's that I bought became 20 dollar skins. The DREN Packs amount to 50 dollars for very, very minor recolors. And when it comes to modules that may not exist anymore, it is really quite difficult to reimburse. IE, if Militia Equipment no longer exists, how are you going to properly reimburse when some people bought them for 50 cents each and other 5 dollars each? That is the reason why our Aurum purchases were not refunded when the game moved from beta to 'live.'
"This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"
