Olav Grey-Mane The Exemplars 58	Posted - 2013.02.25 21:23:00 - [1] - Quote I'm just reading about the new suit coming to the game and how it's 15 AUR... and the cool MAG suits are also in AUR... please tell me this isn't going to be one of those games were if you want something cool you have to pay with real money and everythingt else is average and nothing special... I don't mean becoming a Pay to win, I'm talking like if they came out with a really cool gun that was unique, unlike every other gun in Dust thus far, it would be in AUR only. Please tell me this isn't the road that Dust is heading down...
Buster Friently Rosen Association 27	Posted - 2013.02.25 21:26:00 - [2] - Quote I'm not sure that I understand your complaint. Are you saying that you think it's not ok that CCP sells cosmetic items for aurum? What should they sell then, considering that this game is a business?
The Black Art Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 9	Posted - 2013.02.25 21:26:00 - [3] - Quote If it doesn't have any advantages over the ISK counterparts (except for SP requirements), why not? Aesthetics are a strong reason for people to pay for things in a free game.

GM Vegas Game Masters C C P Alliance 310	Posted - 2013.02.25 21:29:00 - [4] - Quote If you were to go by EVE 'standards' cosmetic items can be purchased for AUR however you find them as well on the ISK Market (As you would with PLEX, another real money item). Everything has an 'ISK' price ;) The DUST 514 Market has not yet been implemented so it is a bit too early to speculate on the negatives/positives of it.

Olav Grey-Mane The Exemplars 58	Posted - 2013.02.25 21:31:00 - [5] - Quote Ohh ok, I'm just a massive MAG fan (see what I did there?) and I really wanted to get the MAG dropsuits but I didn't see an ISK price, only AUG, than I read about the new suits coming that are going to be AUG only as well, or so I thought, So I guess I did just jump to conclusions. Thanks for getting back to me Vegas!
Cortez The Killer Immobile Infantry 190	Posted - 2013.02.25 21:34:00 - [6] - Quote Where have you been? The MAG suits were released like decades ago. They aren't uber rockem-sockem suits, just a novelty item. Will this game have unique items that only Aurum can buy? Yes. It has been that way almost from the start. Why would it not be? Many before you have wondered in a shaky panic if Dust would be a pay-to-win game. The answer is no. Are there collectors items issued that be worth much ISK down the road that are paid for in combination of Aurum and good timing? Sure, and why not? What road is it that Dust should be headed down? It is after all a free to play game with bills to pay...
Buster Friently Rosen Association 27	Posted - 2013.02.25 21:35:00 - [7] - Quote Where are you finding info on these suits?

Thanks for getting back to me Vegas! What?! A reasonable merc that responds to a logical argument and comes to a new conclusion different from their orignal post? THE END IS NIGH!

lordjanuz Norwegian Dust514 Corporation 88	Posted - 2013.02.25 21:42:00 - [10] - Quote I get a feeling its like The roman did, bread & circus to keep The masses calm. We don't need a dropsuit, so The 5th we get a new suit The offer last to 15th and so on.... Is The fanfest next CCP ... Come on you can tell us :) we Are your friends, trust us.

Please tell me this isn't the road that Dust is heading down... I believe that when the game gets its player driven market place, people who do buy the stuff can sell those items for ISK. So if you don't want to pay real money, you can buy the same items for isk.. But prepare to pay more isk than that aurum equivalent because you are essentially added a middleman whose selling for profit.

I'm tempted to make 1000 forum alts and make this the most liked post ever. Don't see anyone from CCP making posts about all the AUR stuff being on the ISK market and I'm getting really tired of the new wave of P2W crap popping up. People need to learn to read...

Dr Debo Galaxy GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 201	Posted - 2013.02.25 22:19:00 - [14] - Quote Is there really anything let to complain about? Have we hit all topics now? Man 1st world problems really suck.
M3DIC 2U RED COLONIAL MARINES Covert Intervention 13	Posted - 2013.02.25 22:19:00 - [15] - Quote Most AUR items have been a BPO or something that is a touch better than the ISK item but at a cost of CPU/PG usage. At least this has been what I have seen through the closed/open beta. Nothing super OP that was AUR only, just something to help build up ISK or try something extra-fancy/different color type things. I don't see this turning to I can by an awesome gun for real money and own... more just I can match my weapon to my suit and be the ragin pink killer on the battlefield.

Please tell me what the ISK price of a BPO is then.

Please tell me what the ISK price of a BPO is then. What the market will bear.
KalOfTheRathi CowTek 168	Posted - 2013.02.25 23:19:00 - [18] - Quote Well, their history has shown very clearly that Nothing will be that Cheap every again. Many other replies covered everything else I could possibly say so no sense in repeating them when a Like will do. Snark is still a dish served up personally though.
Ion Crush Militaires-Sans-Frontieres 32	Posted - 2013.02.25 23:27:00 - [19] - Quote So player A buys an item on the market for AUR then turns around and sells it on the market for isk to player B. The price is whatever player B is willing to spend in ISK for said item. So when do we get our market, even if it is not integrated into the eve market?

Please tell me what the ISK price of a BPO is then. There won't be one. They'll put it up for AUR, someone will buy it and resell it ISK. =\ If they had any plans to actually make it so you could pay for items with either, they already would have done so by now.
