Actually AUR items do not offer much in the way of an advantage, and again in the end it costs real legal tender to obtain. All it does really is offer a quick fix to those whom are unwilling to wait a level or two for the next gear set.
Stand AUR equipment is equal to advanced, advanced AUR equipment is equal to proto, and proto AUR items only offer decreased CPU (Central Processing Unit) and PG (Power Grid) consumption which can be obatined anyway again through skilling. Which again is not an advantage to say the least. It really is just a gimmick for CCP to use in making a profit while allowing those whom are either impulse buyers or too impatient to obtain an item that they will nonetheless obtain once skilled up.
I have my four thousand AUR and as posted by someone else I may only use it as bargaining, or for skill boosters. Actual depletable battle items are not worth it. |

.. Mmkay. Of course you know there should never be a way for you to use every proto item available at once. Ha-ha, but whatever. Glad someone wasted enough time to find this out.
On the side though this reminds of the MAG complaints about people being unable to squeze every high-end peice of equipment onto their build. Ha-ha.
I still stand by my personal opinion. AUR items are not worth it, and offer no real advantage. If people want to purchase them so be it. Have fun wasting real legal tender. Depletable nonetheless. |

Mainly, their skill requirements and making the PG/CPU lessning modules less effective than the ISK variants, giving you the choice of 'Easier to fit with less effect' or 'more effect, harder to fit'. All id be happy with is being able to buy AUR with ISK tbh
Hm. Well I can see people trading AUR for ISK, but I can also see sometime down that road CCP intergrating some converstion ratio for those willing to lose ISK for a smaller amout of AUR. It would be like trading the (USD) for say the legal UK pound. You'd lose money so to speak. Iffy example I know, but it would sort of be cool to see some form of economic converstion that changes daily like those between legal world tenders. |

It would be worth it if your willing to throw money at the game I really just wanted to see the difference between ISK and AUR and its a difference i could use now n again
Well I'm going to apologise -- I was not trying to sound like a total jerk. As AUR items? Sometimes they seem like it due to the lower pre-requisites, and lower consumptions may sound nice, but at the cost of legal tender? Not so much. Granted I come off as a hypocrite seeing how I purchased the "mercenary pack". However I have yet to use the AUR at all. Even though it will be granted back to me at launch, or upon state-wipes during the [beta]. Also I have not even used my skill booster. Ha-ha. I just find it to be more fun to see how I can max out what I have available then otherwise. I'm constantly pushing my CPU and PG limits to what will fit. However I also realistically expect their to be limits. |
