Out of interest, how much money do you intend to spend on DUST?
This year, I'm intending to spend -ú30 ($47.5) on DUST.
My approximate aim is to accelerate skill point gain until I'm skill level 4 in relevant skills for a assualt build.
Do you have a 'financial plan'? |

I have spent $52 to date. That will probably be the extent of my spending except for the UVT's if an alternative payment type besides AUR is not introduced. I already got a year's worth so we will see. The rest of my AUR will probably go into boosters until it runs out. I determined early on that I would be willing to spend as much as I would normally spend for a new game. No regrets here. |

Universal Voice Transmitter, it allows you to speak across all the channels, except Local channel (I think). |

UVT stands for Universal Voice Transmitter. It is currently an Aurum only item that you need in order to use voice chat on any in-game channel other than the basic Squad or Team channel. You still have text chat capability on any channel in-game though.
Lots of folks are upset that CCP is basically charging players to use private and corporation voice chat. Personally I have no issue with it. The quality, clarity and capability of this game's comm system is better than any other shooter I have played in over a year. Since it is a Free-to-Play title and the comm system is not cheap, they are offsetting cost with UVT purchase requirements. At 1000 Aurum for a 30-day UVT you are essentially paying $0.50 a month ($6 per year) to use advanced comms. Well worth it in my opinion but a decision every player needs to make on their own. |

Universal Voice Transmitter....I think. It allows you to voice chat with your corp, as opposed to just your squad....I think
As far as how much will I spend? It depends on how good the game is....I bought a $50 PSN card and got 110,000 Aurum for it. I suppose that could be it as far as my investment but if the game turns out to be what I've been hoping for, then I would be willing to put $50 in a year. Although, at this point, I can't see how I will spend all of the Aurum I have now. There just aren't enough items that interest me in the market yet. |

Currently a little over 1.2k usd, bought two ps3s, tvs lots of aurum, merc packs, head sets and controllers, bring it closer to 1.4k usd (second ps3 was to get the gurista saga, first I bought last january because I got an invite into the closed beta
Still having a blast since last january ;3
WIll probably be over 2.4k by next year, probably going to get the HD Fanfest live stream if it is available, and lots of other goodies (I was considering getting someone to ship me the dust 514 europe sony headset) |

I'm in a similar situation because the only reason I bought a PS3 was because of Dust!
However, I'm assuming that most people have a PS3 already. |

You don't need to get around it. Voice communication still works in squad and team chat. So it always works in battle.
If you want to chat outside of battle then you can buy a UVT or if in a corp just do what they do, or tell you to do. But it is really not too much for the UVT. Less than a meal at the mall food court or a movie ticket. For an entire year of chat in corp and custom channels...
To answer the OP. Spent $60 already (cost of new game) and don't plan to spend more but we will see...

Not to derail this thread back towards its originally intended direction maybe, but just read that we will be getting a "Pay to Paint" option that we can spend AUR on.
Corporation colors. Skins for tanks and trucks. Might have to spend more on AUR after all. Just to look bad ass on the field of battle while getting shot up. |

so far i have been in the beta since the first build and have spent around 140.00. i plan on spending, after launch, on average 20.00 per month which is actually a few dollars more than i spend on Eve each month. Even though i started with around 300,000 aur when we migrated i plan on spending my 20 this month too if for no other reason than to support the game. |

I don't have a set limit....as much as I feel like really.
Considering how much I've spent on BF3 (game purchase, premium package, monthly server rentals), I may at least match that. Especially since bf3 is so limited. There is nothing persistent about bf3....so as long as dust has a good playerbase and dev support with new additions, I'll be supporting the game. |

I plan to spend about the same as an EVE subscription for my son and myself. It would be nice if they changed the Merc Pack on a regular basis though. A new pack that contained a 30 day booster for each of active, passive, and UVT would be useful. I don't need 12 BPOs of the Dragonfly every year. |

You know that is a really good idea. They should create a value bundle based on monthly needs. Boosters and UVT like you said, maybe some perishables and a few thousand AUR to spend at the Duster's Casino I hope will open up at some point. Seriously, something like that geared toward committed players would be spot on. |

I have purchased two merc packs so I have spent 30$ so far. As far as the future money spent is concerned it depends on the product. At the moment they have created a game that (for me) is so unbearable to play ( been playing since Replication ) that i'm using real money to skill faster and hopefully make the game fun again for myself. |

Scary truth right there. That's how I feel. The reason I buy passive booster is so I can keep up with the curve. I can't say the game is that enjoyable but one way to make it even less so is to constantly die |

depending on what CCP offers upon release; If i like the game quality I will probably pay about 10 every other month just to reward the developers for a good product. Otherwise, I will likely stop playing outright. |

The amount of money I spend would be dependent on the quality and fun of things offered. I think I'll initially pay like this was a subscription and if some of the items are really worth it, I'll probably spend the same amount as a new game (60$) per month |

That might be a cool feature; I doubt I'd spend very much on it though. As for Dust, I suppose I'll pay what I'm willing to on those features that interest me. No more; no less. Couldn't tell you what that is though. |
