C'mon, everything in this game turned to be so damn expensive, and hard to earn SP... I hope this can be issued very soon...

The goal was to make running full proto full time impossible without insane funding (ie. goonsquad mercs). This is to make it so you rely on your skills more than your wallet, proto is now for special occasions, and advanced gear is only for when you're getting some pretty good, steady payouts. |

I have to agree here. I had almost 13 mill when I started tonight and ended at about 10 mill after three games. Im not sure if it is intended to be so high priced or not, but Ill be in militia gear in 15 fights or so. As it is Im only using proto guns, not a proto suite. So I can only imagine how much people are paying for them each round.
I wish that there was some balance between dust and eve in terms of price. in 5 rounds of playing dust I will spend enough for a decent cruiser hull in eve. o_0 |

This has been explained, its only "pay to talk" to EVE players or non local voice comms (anyone outside your current star system). Regardless, it is something CCP said they would not do - "we are not sharding off parts of the game to players who pay" |

I can see why they have those augs in there, but I don't think having them cost AUR is a good idea here |

They can break about 50 more promises and still be a more loyal and player driven company than any others out there, except for a very very small select few others.
That being said...
The prices I feel should be dropped -slightly- but not by much. I like these high prices for 1 reason and 1 reason only... You'll see alot more people caring if they lose tanks/vehicles, and using the properly, against people like in BF3 who suicide a tank again and again using it as stupidly as possible and not using it to your teams advantage in anyway shape or form.
This alone makes me go yay to higher prices, higher prices forces players to play more smart, and to take less risks, and all in all, stop doing stupid stuff. Makes me one happy girl. |

Don't worry about the prices - if you are a pilot and a corporation views you as valuable, they will buy you the vehicle of your choice, as long as you get the mission done. If you charge 5 million ISK for your services, and you get the job done every time, you shouldn't have a problem. For some one with a 1/10 success rating, thats another story. |

High prices and slow skill progression is what DUST needs. I want to be a pilot and I want to be a good pilot and I am willing to spend a fortune to prove my worth. Also whenever we can sell on the market we will make more ISK. This game is going to be awesome when it gets its roots down. EVE is slow paced and things are expensive and that is what makes it so fun. It is your clones in another universe, no one said it would be fast, cheap or easy. |

IMO,
If you don't want people to use stuff, don't put it in; what's the point of proto gear that noone can afford to run more than once?
Costs did need to go up from before, but not this much. It's now impossible to run with much more than militia/standard gear unless you are a campy campy sniper sitting 8 miles away.
We're not playing spaceships here, we're ground warriors in a ground war.
Our gear should not cost as much as a spaceship when we're expected to die 1-5 times per 20-30 minutes!

i like the price increase because it was a fitting response to all the lone wolfing and puts the newer players at an even pace. plus it encourages teamwork so that you wont die as often so that you will be able to keep your money. and remember that this is a beta at some point we are going to have a player driven economy where corps can produce and sell all the items to the market to make money. if all the think that protosuits need to be cheaper and start making them they will become cheap as freak but everything else will have its prices skyrocket.
and at some point you may be able to find a prototype BPO and have unlimited access to it. |

I think thats actually kind of cool, and makes more sense, it levels the playing field without being too artificial. And really, if everyone uses "prototype gear" then is it "prototype" anymore... wouldn't it be regarded as Standard?
So in that sense yes, high prices are good for balance so the old players don't have an insane advantage over new players due simply to gear.
It makes for more intelligent decisions, since you cannot make the "best" Fit out there as easily, you have to trade off modules due to the limitations of the suit more. |

I have no doubt that there is also an economic motive behind the price hikes here. You can still get proto gear using AUR. I find it a bit suspicious that they basically makes proto gear too expensive for most while keeping the AUR items with the same or better stats. |

Raising AUR prices wouldn't be possible for them, if they're expecting to earn any money on them. If a suit was 20AUR before, would you pay 200AUR for it now? no.

They have delivered KBM is so badly implemented that it has no usefulness as a control scheme, at is at a strong disadvantage to the DS3. I refuse to call that a control scheme. When they fix it, and deliver it as promised ("we want KBM users to feel like they're playing any other PC shooter" [paraphrased] - David Reid) then I will say they have kept their promise of giving us KBM.
As far as true F2P, they have not delivered. They have given an advantage to AUR users, and they have even given them exclusive content - both things they have blatantly stated they would not do, on multiple occasions. |

I'm fine with the price hikes. The only reasons not to use all proto gear all the time before were that you didn't have the SP or the enemy team was completely dominating the field. |

What exclusive content? The colors schemes for dropsuits? lower requirements for proto/advanced gear? voicechat between systems?
All above seem like side grades (or useless) to me. They never said they wouldn't give exclusive content to anyone, they said that it wouldn't be pay to win, and so far they've kept their promise.
Edit: what about the Dragonfly suit and the other suit from participating in beta - that's exclusive content available only to beta testers - should those be given to everyone? |
