IMHO DUST will fail because the dev team is greedy. They are selling virtual stuff which has no real cost to make and absolutely NO value so why would they say a dropsuit has a value of $50 and tjen try to sell it for $15 when you can buy a whole new game for $59?
Everything time you turn around they want more money for nothing. If they were smart they would charge $1 for everything then maybe people wouldn't stop playing the game; not that it's a great game and people wouldn't quit anyway.
As soon as I saw how many items were charging the outrageous prices I uninstalled; See YA, Good luck suckers! |

... Okay? I'm confussed about a lot of what you said other then you are saying they are charging too much for AUR based items? Which they actually are not, and have been giving away the Mercenary bundle essentially -- PlayStation Plus had it for ten dollars (USD) which is an amazing deal. I honestly do not see why you are complaining though. The prices thus far have been ultimately fair, and the (AUR) items themselves have been nicely balanced so as to not cross that "Pay-to-win" line in which would ruin the game. When the player trade market opens finally though players will be able give away, trade, and sell AUR based items for ISK or other items AUR or ISK based. So really why you are complaining is beyond me.
I guess that means you are already sucked into the idea of AUR so have fun with that. I'll play a game that charges $59 for the whole game and maybe 3 months later buy a map/weapon pack for another $15 but there is no way this game is worth everything they are asking for. I challange anyone to add up the total if you were to purchase ALL AUR items and post the cost for this game. CYA |

Does it put me at a disadvantage to play with ISK items against someone who does spend real money on AUR items? I gues my question is are AUR item superior to ISK items?
Another problem with only using ISK is that it takes forever to earn enough to compete with someone who could "rank up" instantly with cash; it's kind of a corrupt system; like American politics... lol no wonder most of you love this ****. |

I have no problem with supporting good server support but how much money does that really take? At $59/game and they sell let's say only 50,000 copies... you do the math. |

Whoa, whoa, whoa.. You made this thread without even playing this game? Are you serious?! What a crock of sh!+. Seriously. Are AUR based items superior over ISK items? Essentially no, but some AUR based items at the moment this build are BPO (Blueprint Originals) which means that they are non depletable assets. Which comes in handy for thos whom enjoy saving ISK where they can, or for those whom die frequently. The only other advantage is that some AUR based equipment will allow for slightly quicker (usually a level) access to certain items while you are training up that specific skill. However! In the end you are paying for those items with real government sanctioned and back currency. If you choose to be unable to wait and want access to the same thing a level early then you can spend AUR which cost real life currency. Not really an advantage though, and those items are non BPO and are depletable. So they are not "pay-to-win". Edit: What you have to remember though is that at the moment we do not have access to the player market. Which will allow us (again) to give away, trade, or sell items AUR or ISK based alike. Meaning even if you do not spend actual currency on this game and you want a specific AUR based item you can trade or buy it from another player for ISK. Simply put -- [ISK > AUR] and ISK will always be more valuable then AUR. Mmhhmm. Coveted and the essnetial item we (Dusters) all want lining our greedy mercenary pockets.
I did play the game but was turned off by the mic not working so didn't get that deep into it; does it take AUR to activiate the mic?
So you did point out some real advantages of AUR items but you said there is "essentially" no advantage... are you a politician? lol
Anyway Thanks for the input y'all; maybe I'll have a closer look at it and give it another chance. If it's true of what you say that only $20 of AUR would buy me everything I need in there then it would be in line with the norm. |

You...You...You just obviously don't know how the game works here...I mean...Really tho? Have you tried to play the game? It doesn't take forever to earn enough to compete...people have been sticking to the starter ARs on the battlefield and have been dominating...and in fact you just mostly need to work on your SP and the ISK should pour in if you play smart. And wtf is this with American Politics? You feel some type of way bro? Corruption is everywhere no matter where you live as long as people can have authority over you. >_> Learn to play before you open your mouth about how bad the game is.
LOL yes I feel some type of way about it bro; Sick is how I feel about it. It's a shame what's happened to the constitutional republic; the constitution has been torn up ans used as toilet paper. The communist corporatocracy has taken over and people are being enslaved to the debt they don't even own. There is a huge parallel between DUST and American politics; more than you know because most people would rather watch football or american idol or play DUST than take an interest to the Truth about your political reality show. Obama and Romney are laughing at everyone because they have most people fooled into thinking there are two choices when there is not.
Get back to work slaves. lol |
