That's only like if EVERY item in your fit is Aurum. Otherwise, even if you use a few items, it should still last you for a couple thousand deaths. And like I said earlier, it only makes a MARGINAL difference. If someone wants to continuously buy Aurum gear, then let them. Supposedly it'll also, be available on the marketplace for isk, by other players.

Also, re: Thukker grenades...I haven't been killed by them, but even so. Someone isn't going to change the tide of a match with a couple grenades. BUT, even if you think those grenades are THAT special...
[see my point above, about aurum items being purchased for isk on the marketplace]

...and that's IF CCP decides they don't need to be "tweaked" by release time.

Of course the debate won't be over. People love to argue, even with flawed logic. However, those trying to make the "pay-to-win" argument, don't really have a leg to stand on.
(at least in this case, because the marketplace will help solve any potential problems)

nuff said.

How old are you ?What is this recent trend in people online thinking that these games are supposed to be free and there the same one that hardley even play the game and also ***** about lag.....HELLO NO ONE IS PAYING FOR THE SERVER TO BE MAINTAINED!!!!!!!

You got 2 lives for Street Fighter when it first came out in the arcades.....what in the hell is the matter with you people when in the whole history of games have they ever been free to play. Go up to one of the carnies you know the ones that look like they've been awake for 3 days on meth and tell him you wanna pitch at the bottles for the biggest bear for your girl(if you Have one) and you want as many chances as it gonna take for free............see what he says.Some people are complete and utter dumb A$$es I swear to god.....Im sorry man but if your not contributing monetarily to the upkeep of the server,the hourly wage of those technicians,maintenance/replacement for the hardware,advertising,development of the game and dlc............then you leaving is no great loss to the community...dont let the door smash ya in the a$$.GTFO so I dont have to hear all the pissing and moaning....Thats my message for all theUnemployed,waffle eatin,mother basement dwelling neck beards.

Seems the smiley-face sticking its tongue out wasn't clear enough.

Here, apply the following to my original post to fully understand my implication:

"/Sarcasm"

Makes sense now?

so you are saying that people that don't buy AuR shouldn't play the game, and/or that they count for less then any other player as far as any consideration dealing with the game, its content and developer acknowledgement?

allow me to point out that Space Invaders gave you 3 lives :P and that if you knew the arcade owner they could just open the machines and give you as many games as you wanted.

When you play games with carnies, the prize you get is worthless then what you payed to play.

Telling people that even though a game is free to play, but that a dichotomy exists whereby people that buy Aur/items have a say and people that don't have no say.... creates a very bad atmosphere, one in which, I would choose not to buy aur out of disrespect for an obvious money grab whereby the producer of the product obviously had no respect for their customers nor their product..... but only for the mighty dollar.


That company is called EA... and hopefully CCP does not go that way...

you sir... should go DIAF :P
