I know slimier request have been made before, however I did not feel it was wise to Necro an older thread to a newer audience.

I disagree with Dust being pay to win. The only currencies you need are time and friends. A squad of well coordinated militias could easily take down dumb protos.

I do agree with the idea of a subscription to get passive SP boosters but in fairness they are already in the game. We just have them last a week. Also, the merc pack gives you 5 weeks plus 30 days of passive SP boost if you spend all the Aurum on boosters.

In summary:
- Subscription for 30 day passive boosters: Yes
- Price should be calculated to be the same as what you can get from buying the merc pack (I'd do the maths but I'm not at home to check figures).

This^

Sorry OP, if you're spending $20 per month on Dust, and that is something you DON'T want to do, then you're doing something wrong.
As it stands, paying for Dust would be more around $8-$10 per month (waiting for 30-day booster to expire, then consuming all aurum on active + passive boosters BEFORE buying another merc pack).

Which is cheaper than an EVE sub. How about not buying aurum weapons? (if you do)

But as someone pointed out the militia bpos are a rip off, plain and simple.

Charging so much aurum for something that, if folks compared prices/stats with, is simply not worth anything.

Example: Thale Militia Scout vs. Dragonfly Type-1 Scout.
Pound for dollar, the thale suit just isn't worth the place in between both that it fell on.
Price should come way down for them. Maybe 1k aurum.

As for those militia dropsuits costing 20k Aurum, that is ridiculous, especially considering they have insignificant difference to the regular militia gear. However, CCP have probably done this so that players "collect them all" by purchasing two merc packs. IMO blueprint suits should cost a fortune, but should be comparable to top tier gear, and have all those inbetween. Maybe a BPO prototype suit costs 40,000 Aurum, Advanced is 20k and anything before that is between 5-15k. I would like to see sales figures for those militia BPO's though, as I don't understand why anybody would buy them at this price.
