So the open beta is on and already I'm being screwed. I heard that the UVT's were going up to 1,000 aurum each. So I thought I may as well grab a bunch before it changes. I finish up my game and head to the market THE UVT'S WERE ALL STILL PRICED 10 AURUM. I grab a set of fifty and get charged 500 AURUM. Fair enough. I play a game which is laggy as hell so I restart the ps3 and when I choose my character it says:
AURUM: 16,990... It should be higher than that. I bought 50,000 AURUM. The price was 10 AURUM. Not 1,000.
Heres my math.
I have 50,000 AURUM
I buy 81 UVT'S: 810 AURUM
I buy 100 'blindfire' AR's: 3,000.
50,000 - 3,810 = 46,190. I have 16,990
But now it seems that it hasn't even saved all of the UVT'S I bought. I bought 81 at 10 AURUM each and it says I have 30.
CCP I WANT REIMBURSED FOR WHAT I ACTUALLY PAID FOR.
I'm not the only one the has happened to! Ricky Marshall is the same! He bought 10 UVT'S at 10 AURUM and was then charged 10,000 AURUM instead! |

if this was a brick and motor shop the same thing would have happend. sorry to sound harsh but i dont think ccp owns you a thing
It's so good to have that opinion when it hasn't happened to you. Go away. |

this is not right and its only fair something is done about it :( I havent checked mine, but i think i think i had 20 of them left. So what, they are going to charge me 20K AURUM for UVTs? Thats outrageous.
I don't think so. But you should check just in case. |

Are Dust Mercs allowed to sell stuff on the market now? Can you sell anything in AUR? Since I've seen this pop up twice on the first page, maybe it really is a bug. If the price said 10 AUR (or... was it 10.00 AUR?), and more was taken out, that's one thing, but you may want to go back and look at your wallet transactions.
In EVE, there's a scam where, let's say an item is normally priced at 100.00 ISK. People will sell that item on contract for 10,000 ISK hoping someone will not notice the difference between a period and a comma.
Perhaps the same thing happened to you? If that did happen, you won't be getting your AUR back, as scamming is considered within the boundaries of the game.
There is no trading or selling AURUM items between players yet. This is a glitch in the game. I bought from the market place not from a player. If this game encourages scamming with REAL MONEY, then there will be a problem. |

Must be a market bug if anything
It is, but I am not liable for that sort of thing. It's CCP. This update should have taken place during DT and with a lot of notice to players. This is real money we're talking about, not ISK. |

We are playing a game that doesn't even have more than 2 crap game modes, none of the bells and whistles CCP had promised, bad/unfinished core FPS game play, and a slew of bugs but you continue to throw money at the game and have the audacity to complain. What did you expect when you threw hard earned real money at a broken game?
My first time buying AURUM actually, because this is the last reset.
I don't know why you even posted. That post helped no one and only backs up the fact that I should be reimbursed...
So actually, I guess you did help.
Hahah!! The audacity? There's nothing in the agreement that states 'because this game has bugs our customer service will be rubbish, and you're wrong to expect to be treated fairly.'
Idiot. I should be helped not told 'well you were silly enough to trust us so now we'll screw you over'.
Not saying they have screwed me over on purpose, I believe this was an error. |

The change must have taken place or we would all be seeing it at 10 AUR but not all of us are hence why some see it at 10 and others at 1000 If anything its email and wait for a response and a refund
The change did take place. But it wasn't visually represented as 1,000 AURUM for some players. |

Very nice I hope that comes with proxy chat....
Not including the ones we had. That isn't what this post is about. Today was the first time I had AURUM. I thought I was buying 10-AURUM UVT'S but it actually charged me 1,000-AURUM but didn't tell me that it was doing so. |

Go away. it has not happened to me, because i new it was meant to change and decided to wait, and not be a dumass about it. just because i don't agree with the pity parade you want going on here does not make my opinion invalid. Now understand where you are coming from. my point is CCP dont own you anything however it would be customer service to take UAVs back and reimburse you your ARU
I'm a dumbass for wanting to save money on UVT'S? If you find out oil prices will go up tomorrow you buy it cheap today and sell it on for more.
Pity parade? For wanting my money back for something I didn't want to buy? I'd be more idiotic if I didn't pursue this instead sat back without 30,000 AURUM I could spend on other stuff.
So your point is the exact same as mine? I should be reimbursed for my AURUM? So CCP do owe me something?
Where I'm coming from is that CCP should have either taken off the UVT from the market to change the price. Or change it during DT.

steadyhand amarr wrote:applogies. im ill today, and being a bit of a ****. my point was. that you seemed to have tried to pull a fast one and got caught and that was crying over it. what i didnt no was that CCP changed the price on the fly.
what i feel is that it should have been known the price was off but go screaming ccp was evil and scamy over a mistake is wrong . however yes i agree the UVT should be taken away from everyone and ARU handed back. i dont think this is possable but its the only fair way i can see it. in my mind prices changed on the fly all the time and the internet should be treated the same. in this case though i think confusion and miscommuncation and rage got better of all parites involved
I can assure you that I was not trying to 'pull a fast one'. I didn't say the were evil nor that they were trying to scam me. I felt annoyed which is something everyone should be able to understand. The reason I posted it here was for people to be notified and for CCP to be alerted. The issue is being resolved by CCP as we speak so the matter is now at rest. I disagree, we should be notified if anything concerning our money is involved. |

You should be helped with this. CCP is looking into the problem as we speak, stay alert for info. |

Let's just leave it at that. I'll see you on the battlefield! Oh and get well soon |

I bought AUR during one of the first ever beta weekends right after closed beta launched. I spent maybe 10% of it, then after a minipatch, all of my AUR disappeared. I posted on the forums and was told it should be reimbursed during the next beta build. I was annoyed but figured meh, it's beta, this stuff happens.
Well, we have been through how many builds now? I STILL have not gotten my AUR reimbursed during any beta build. I have posted a couple threads in the support forum, got no response. I sent 2-3 emails to support, and never got more than an automated response that it will be reimbursed next build.
I double checked, and my credit card was successfully charged for the AUR when I purchased it. At this point, I guarandamntee when the game goes retail, I won't be refunded the AUR like I was supposed to. Oh well, the way this game has been going, I'll probably die of old age before it actually releases anyway.
That's rubbish that happened to you man. Hopefully we can get that sorted too. You're entitled to what you paid for. If I was you I'd chase that up. |

If they have major issues with the part of the game that involves real money, this game is gonna have huge problems. People will tolerate a lot of things, but not when it involves real cash.
Exactly man, that's why I posted here. |

The concept of beta's is a wee bit....shall we say 'broken' in the minds of console players. Thanks to years of devs and publishers butchering the concept, to console players, a beta is this: Beta = Demo Open Beta = Free demo you get in the weekly store updates Closed Beta = The same demo, but only available through competitions on IGN
I know what a beta is, but thanks for the condescending and unnecessary paragraph. Oh and also thanks for implying all console players are idiots |

To buy or not to buy LOL AUR is not the problem. if the want to charge it a 1000 bucks, i guess that's their choice. After all the game is free. But a definitive answer would be very helpful. Now all it says is reboot and it would be fixed. I would like to know what has been fixed. Its either 10 AUR or 1000 AUR. I dont want to get a bunch of UVTs for 1000 AUR and find out that it's been changed to 10 AUR. Either way i'd like a definitive answer... Communication among CORP members is a big issue as it is. On top it all these confusion!
UVT's should really be free. EVE gets theirs free, why not us? But that's another matter. I think maybe this post should be locked by DEVS as the problem is being fixed. |

But at the moment it says it'll be or it is fixed... my question : What is fixed?
I think the fix is reimbursement. The price will stay the same (1,000 aurum) I think. |

They make money off of weapons and suits that aren't even blueprints. UVT'S should be free, paying to talk to your teammates in a game that implies teamwork is essential is insane IMO. |
