P.S. the more money people spend on AUR the better your game will be...and of course the bigger and better servers...and more beer for fanfest.
'Ay, I'm perfectly fine with advertising and trying to get people to purchase AUR, I was just voicing concern about my personal opinion that AUR sales shouldn't be the main focus of the game. I really don't see that happening, but I felt like the way the new changes to the AUR marketing strategy affected me were worth reporting to CCP. |

Every item should be aur and ISK priced. I am pretty sure CCP just got like $200 million ( it mightis be 20) in grants and $15 a month from 400,000 subscribers. They don't need money to make the game better and the eve subscriptions should pay for the servers. Sony wants and needs the money, Sony also will do anything to get a fan base like eve's. Dust is going to be around for a while and the ps4 is coming so dust is a ps4 game. Sony needs a hardcore fps that is only on playstation to deal with xbox and computers. Now there is something like 12 million ps3, if half of those play dust and half of those pay for aur $5 once a year Sony has $15 million passing through the network. That's a lot or aur. |

Errr... What's this about grants? You mean from Sony? |

Are they better than the base Meta 1 items? Totally.
It looks like the primary benefit will be looks though as the kings of the hill seem to be isk items.
The best items are AUR only, at least for now since there's no resell market...
It depends on what you look at, for a lot of weapons the AUR version is better. If you take a look at repair tools ( 1st I found) there's a prototype version for ISK that is hands down better than the AUR option.
I think the AUR items will generally give you fitting flexibility, but they certainly aren't going to win the fights for you. |

True true. I'm just concerned about the whole atmosphere the marketing is starting to give off. Now um... please excuse my profanity but.... Incarna.
All joking aside though, CCP really doesn't want to get their fanbase pissed off again, even if it is for a separate game. Me? I'm not mad, just worried CCP might goof up again, and both games will take a lot of flak, which would be such a shame because both are really amazing games. I mean, EVE has been strong for over nine years, and DUST is only in the beta stage, and look how amazing it is already! |
