KEROSIINI-TERO Dead Man's Game 2	Posted - 2016.02.04 01:42:00 - [1] - Quote In May, it has been four years since I gave up on pretty much every other game (including Eve) and put all time and assets onto Dust, with intent in being in from early on and 100%. 1756,81 Gé¼. A considerable amount (and no, I did not buy keys except a single pack of 10 on Christmas '14 and '15 ) Slightly less shocking if it's divided for four years. Three-four years of non-stop boosters, a (nearly complet) collection of all BPOs and skins, stockpile of over 100 omega boosters and some spare AUR. Was I stupid? You can answer that, and I probabaly know 99% of your answers If I have to find good things about it, it saved me from SO many nights at the club boozing, probably saving me far more hard earned cash (even at a rate of single night out a week 100 each saves 20 000Gé¼ for the period of four years....) One thing is sure though: from the experience how the game developed and the visions reached, I will surely not be spending that kind of sum on Valkyrie/Legion2/Whatever. Especially the inability to fix bugs is the key: Some very basic issues retained for 3-4 years, which is unforgivable. Pretty much everything else is. PS: What the heck I'm gonna do with all those Omega's???? "Cut cut cut - Trim trim trim!" KERO-TRADER is my official Eve character for Dust trading.

BARAGAMOS Kinsho Swords Caldari State 488	Posted - 2016.02.04 02:03:00 - [15] - Quote It was your hobby. People spend money on hobbies. End of story. If you have remorse for some or all of the spending you made a mistake with that potion. If not then money well spent. No need to ask us. You know if you feel like you got the value you expected from the game. If you did it does not matter what anyone here says, and if you don't then you have learned a lesson for next time. There will be other games, that's a guarantee. As for the Boosters, looks like its time to make some new friends. Just save the ones you need to boost to the end and sell the rest to run officer until its over or give them away. That's really the only options other than watch them die with the game.

The mantra of EVE is "never fly what you can't afford to lose, and by lose we mean have 3-4 more of ready to go in dock". The mantra of DUST was "don't deploy what you can't afford to lose 20 of". The mantra of RL cash is, " don't blow the rent money on fun ". If you could afford that over 4 years ( not unreasonable ), and the family and bills were good and sorted, then don't stress about it. If they weren't then learn to budget better in the future. Shrug. It's your cash and your past time buddy. Don't let anyone make you feel bad just because of the round number.

If anything, those of us that spent very little in comparison should say thank you. Without dedicated folks like yourself, this game would have had the plug pulled long ago.

I dropped about 500 AUD on this game and had booster running almost non stop for about 3 years and owned almost every blueprint and both you guys spent about 6 times more than i did. The one thing i never really bought were the AUR version of items so I'm guessing that's where the rest went? I stopped spending before skins and the warbarge came in so maybe that aswell? Meh I've still had more fun on this game than any other so any money on this game was well spent for me. If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If not you'll find an excuse.

Three-four years of non-stop boosters, a (nearly complet) collection of all BPOs and skins, stockpile of over 100 omega boosters and some spare AUR. Was I stupid? You can answer that, and I probabaly know 99% of your answers If I have to find good things about it, it saved me from SO many nights at the club boozing, probably saving me far more hard earned cash (even at a rate of single night out a week 100 each saves 20 000Gé¼ for the period of four years....) One thing is sure though: from the experience how the game developed and the visions reached, I will surely not be spending that kind of sum on Valkyrie/Legion2/Whatever. Especially the inability to fix bugs is the key: Some very basic issues retained for 3-4 years, which is unforgivable. Pretty much everything else is. PS: What the heck I'm gonna do with all those Omega's???? It is so subjectivd. If you feel you got your money's worth while you were putting in the cash, then it was worth it. You found something you like, and supported it. that amount of money aggregated over time, if you put 1700 in at once that would be questionable. but like 10, euros a week, its not so bad. Redline for Thee, but no Redline for Me. "all these moments lost...Like tears in rain..." RIP Dust 514

If that money would've been wasted on booze and random stuffs it's probably well spent. Now.. Save the next 1700Gé¼ for a great gaming rig! Game over.

If you're on a lower professional salary and spread that cost over four years you're not going to find a cheaper hobby. The game may be free to play, but its not free to run... so from those of us that supported your game while you whined about a lack of progress and refused to even chip the dealer... you're welcome for those 4 glorious years played on our backs.

That's how I justified it. I know for a fact I would've spent more going out. Not including travel, 4am walk of shame food, hospital bills for bar fights I know I would've gotten in to going out that much (straya). No regrets dust is life... ... uncertain, and usually pretty dissapointing.

And I can easily afford it, but that's a dodgy second hand car with 300k kms on the clock :P That's a pretty savage amount man i give you and OP a nod of admiration for your extravagance haha, i think the question is not should people feel bad for spending their money but what the hell did you guys actually buy? I dropped about 500 AUD on this game and had booster running almost non stop for about 3 years and owned almost every blueprint and both you guys spent about 6 times more than i did. The one thing i never really bought were the AUR version of items so I'm guessing that's where the rest went? I stopped spending before skins and the warbarge came in so maybe that aswell? Meh I've still had more fun on this game than any other so any money on this game was well spent for me. See it's weird, I don't drunk game, or stoned game. So it was under my own power that I bought that much ****. I have boat loads of boosters. I bought packs mainly, because it was 'technically' cheaper to get the packs and keep the BPO's for resale one day for isk, and keep the passive boosters. It wasn't until a year ago or so I finally realised that 30 day boosters were a waste of time. But I was playing this game like 10-11 hours a day (I was 20 working part time and studying). So I basically lived for this dreadful game nearly everyday for 2 years so it made sense at the time. So long answer short, it was elite packs and boosters. I also have 500 quafe ck.0 assault suits that AE received as a reward for the last team tourney they won, then CCP decided to sell them anyway. I to this day still won't use them. But in saying that I don't play dust anymore. Call it an addictive mindset either way. At one point I did love this game way too overbearingly much lol dust is life... ... uncertain, and usually pretty dissapointing.
