You do know you have almost 4 months to use whatever AUR you have left...

I forget my pricing for EVE Aur. because lolEVEAUR

But i believe in dust you can get 40,000 AUR for 20$ when in EVE you can only get 4,000.

They would need to do some adjustment but i agree it would be a good gesture.

All AUR ever purchased ever, would be used for things that would ultimately be useless at some point because the game could never last forever. So by that logic, all AUR I've ever spent should be compensated because the boosters I purchased produced SP that will ultimately be useless. Right? I guess that just doesn't make sense to me.

Well no Im curious. I mean....if I bought AUR and then a booster the day before the announcement, would I not be eligible for a refund? But if I bought a booster the day after the announcement, would I be eligible for the refund?

At what point is AUR spent "wasted" vs "not wasted"? Like, what would the cutoff be in your mind?

It's kinda interesting watching all the people in the forums just now learning what microtransactions are.

From CCPs perspective, Dust Aurum funds Dust payroll and Eve Aurum (helps to) fund Eve payroll.

If you bring a bunch of Dust Aurum into Eve (even at the adjusted rate), you will reduce the amount of Eve Aurum that is bought until all the Dust Aurum is consumed.

It's hard for me to explain but all the cash from Dust Aurum is likely already budgeted for in Shanghai and thus 'spent'. The same goes for Eve Aurum, but what you're suggesting would reduce the amount of cash from Eve Aurum purchases and in turn put a hole in the Eve budget.

CCP should only count the amount of unspent AUR that was obtained through the PSN store. That should be relatively easy to compute by subtracting the amount of unspent AUR that was gained for free through daily logins and events from the remainder.

Isnt Aur a hell of a lot cheaper on Dust than it is EvE?
It would never happen no matter how much you want that new ships skin

I bet you're the kind of people that biitch about a steak being done improperly after you've eaten the whole thing, while expecting your meal to be comp'ed.

Unused aurum is not unused money. Your money was used. You used it purchase aurum. Don't make it sound like you didn't actually use your money, because you did, and got exactly what you paid for.

Also, everytime you made a purchase, surely you were aware that game wasn't going to be around forever. Every penny should have been spent under the assumption that it would eventually be for nothing.

I don't think there is a need for a transfer. Even if there was, it would be a huge pain in the ass for CCP to transfer the aurum over, as they have no way of telling which Eve characters and Dust characters are owned by the same person. Your best bet is to try a help ticket, but I doubt you will get what you want, as you don't really deserve it.

Also, I don't quite like your analogy.

Dust is more like a restaurant that has free steaks and sells really tasty barbecue sauce. You bought a lot of barbecue sauce, but the resteraunt is going to close in four months.

Instead of just putting the barbecue sauce you bought on the steaks at this resteraunt, you want the resteraunt to spend much time and effort changing their BBQ sauce recipe so it tastes good with a different restaurant's steaks.

At least, that's how I see it. Maybe you shouldn't have spent so much on barbecue sauce that you weren't ready to eat.
