Dust will be connected directly to the EVE market. You should be able to spend isk on plex for aur just like in EVE.
You don't really have a valid complaint, and as others have said, your idea defeats the entire point of aur.
Not to mention, aur items aren't better then isk items. You may be able to use a T2 equivalent gun sooner then a little later, but who cares. People are killing other people with militia weapons.
1049 kills, 2.49 kdr, currently ranked 41 on kill boards, one of the first 50 to make it to 1k+ kills, ALL in militia gear, i know a couple proto suit wearing muppets who i make a point to chase down when they start running cause they cant afford to keep losing 4-5 suits a match...
ive spent over $2k paying for my eve accounts,(2x 5 years + 1x 3 years), and absolutely love that game, if CCP can do what i hope they can with DUST 514, these graphics, this content, that so many FPS heros whine about while theyve farmed up proto suits in a single weekend, can and will eventually change. EVE 5 years ago looked NOTHING like what it does now, and theyre still improving it, making everything that much sexier.
in short, this isnt COD where you get the same game repackaged with 1 or 2 modifications for $60, this game is likely going to be perpetually growing, expanding, and upgrading. no $60 box with a disc to get the next map unlocked, or the next weapon set. so i cant see aurum as any form of bad.
*side rant*
infinite quantities of prototype gear would be a terrible idea, even at $20 a piece, itd be what $100-140 to buy a full INFINITE AUR proto set that would completely defeat the purpose of isk proto gear. and yes, i would pay that price to have that OP advantage, cause it would defeat the purpose of killing me since i wouldnt be losing anything
*edit* after thought
ISK > AUR conversion wont be likely to happen untill they make the EVE-DUST link live, because PLEX are still real money given to CCP and then sold for ISK, by players for players |

and i killed you tonight in a logistics suit... awwww yeah <.< lol, sorry. i don't mean to be a ****, not tryin to brag, i know i'm not hot **** or anything, but your name is superking bignuts and it made me giggle. so the kill sticks out in my mind.
jerk! im going to cry myself to sleep later because of you!!! *sniffles*
on topic, NOVELTY clothing can be bought with aurum... you cant buy anything but clothing for your character which only displays(currently) as a portrait and possibly(for those who bother to investigate) in the viewer utility(clicking the portrait/picture of an item)
Aurum is acquired by trading in plexes. which, can be bought with either RL cash, OR in game ISK(bought from a player who paid RL cash for it at one point in time).
every time you see a cargohold full of plex go up in smoke on the kill boards, all 'destroyed' plex = money CCP no longer needs to provide a service for. money changed hands at one point for them to come into existence, its how players 'buy isk' in game, its how people 'pay to play' with in game currency.
once the open market comes around(hopefully soon *fingers crossed*) then im sure folks with real cash will start selling AUR or AUR gear for isk, someone somewhere will. same concept as in EVE plexes. and im sure they will be competitively priced with equivilant items... eventually... |

EVE is great, strongly encourage people to try it out, the drama and the tears, the success and the defeats, a lot of eve is what you make of it, and one of the few games you can be a PROFESSIONAL pirate and not get immediately banned for griefing(as long as youre not griefing rookies)
and aurum gear is just a little lower fit requirement than most isk gear, it CAN provide a slight edge allowing you to fit one more damage or shield extender, but its probably already HEAVILY stacked and not going to be worth full points. its not like i can fit 7 extra extenders just cause i bought aurum suits and equipment, i would estimate you could get at best a 5-10% edge over isk bought proto gear, which is approximately 20-30% higher than equally skilled militia gear. looking at these numbers, for every 5 hits militia rifle would take to kill someone, it takes 4 with proto rifle, which considering how fast some of the fights are, isnt much of a diffrence. |
