I've already been through the grind three times now. A fourth time wouldn't bother me any. Although I would be mildly upset at having lost all the real life money I put into this game. But, then again, my old main has literally over a dozen boosters to its name, seven or eight of which are omega boosters I never got around to using, so I guess it's at least cool I'd have a decent head start.
How would I rate some sort of cosmetic package for being a veteran? Assuming the same rating scale as your other thing, 1. It's just cosmetic, and it shows I've played through and supported the game. Not like it's hurting anything. Although hopefully there's either more than just a medium assault skin or the skin finally fits over all suits.
As for actually losing all my ISK, assets, BPOs, etc... It'd suck. If I could keep my BPOs I wouldn't care one bit. ISK? Easy to get back, or at the very least if on the new console it's harder to obtain we'd all start on even ground so it won't matter. Assets? I only buy what I use, anyway. I sell everything else. SP? Again, everyone is starting on even ground, minus those who had boosters to pass over, but you still have to play the game to make use of active, and passive accrual is very slow. The BPOs, though? I got them through real life money, so obviously having them just snatched away with no compensation will be quite a kick to, well, everywhere. It would feel like I'm actually being stolen from.
I love this game, but I would not have paid $200+ for it, and, since I literally just got a call back from a much higher paying job just a few hours ago, I intend to put more moolah into this place. Having it all whisked away with nothing more than 'so long, and thanks for all the fish' would really hurt, and I don't mean to my wallet, even if there were a greatly improved Dust 514 just around the corner. Sure I have the satisfaction of 'I contributed to this', but I wasn't putting in donations. There wasn't a Kickstarter or IdieGoGo or whatever. I was putting money into this game specifically to get in-game assets, and while I completely understand the game will one day die and I'll lose it all anyway, having a direct spawn of this game, specifically this game but better and on a new console, that isn't going to let me keep the things I spent actual, hard earned money for? The thought bothers me. It's like completely paying for a car and then having someone come by to recall it because of massive safety issues, but when they release a new, better one you have to pay full price for the new car, even though your old one was taken away for safety reasons without compensation. As much as that old car needed to be fixed up, as great as that new car will be, you still got jipped.
The thought that Dust 514 may one day be the game we dreamed it to be.
It fills you with Determination!
