WOW! A lot of previously discussed topics lately.
CCP is keeping the ISK and AUR variants quite consistent for the most part and I commend them for it. Of course, AUR lets everyone access gear a level higher than they're allowed but that's the whole incentive. I do not use AUR myself and love popping those who feel they must use AUR gear to be competitive. The fact that I and others can pop AUR users with ISK gear proves there's balance; at least for the most part.
Boosters are another story though. Getting a greater overall advantage via purchase like the boosters allow via SP is the definition of pay to win. |

Right now in this build, those with boosters have the same cap as everyone else. Those that currently have bought boosters threw a fit about the fact they have the same cap as everyone else though where CCP had confirmed those who purchase boosters will have a higher cap in an upcoming build. Imagine buying active boosters to boost your cap and then also buying passive boosters to increase your cap further. Therefore, those who pay more get more accrued SP; hence, pay to win. |

Quote:I'm sorry, but the Codewish uses less CPU/PG than the Duvolle Tac, which it is the AUR variant of. I'm looking at the stats right in front of me.
Codewish (AUR variant tac rifle): 47 CPU/ 6 PG
Duvolle Tactical Assault Rifle (ISK variant tac rifle): 90 CPU/ 13 PG
You need to look again.
Edit: And BTW, the Broadside HMG is set up the same way, the ISK variant has far more CPU/PG requirements than the Broadside
Might as well save your breath, Overlord Ulath. Those arguing for AUR obviously like AUR the way it is as they obviously use it (for their advantage as that's the only way they can be competitive).
It is ironic "Cry me a river" was said when it was the AUR users that cried to prompt the booster change. In their case though, I am sure they consider it "giving constructive feedback" over "crying". |
