I expect to see the BPO's level out around 1000-3000AUR tops once player trading opens up and everyone realizes how overpriced and useless they are in the current state of the game.

They replace the cost of a ~500 isk item. To save a million isk with a BPO you need to die 2,000 times. Luckily if you are running bad BPO gear you probably will die a ton so maybe you can feel good about all that AUR you spent on them.

I put more then 250$ on this game and will say no to AUR reset!
IT Pay2Win all the way for me.

But people will still need to buy them of the market. Or CCP won't make a profit. Another reason to not let the market be overrun by the cheap built up BPOs siting in peoples vaults.
It's not polished or professional, it's messy and CCP should clean it up.

Crazy, it's a player-driven market. People with economics degrees have used EVE in studies in order to better learn market forces. DUST will be a player-driven market too.

I suppose it's true letting a massive amount of BPO's out dirt cheap is probably bad, however I suspect that 85-90% of the AUR is spent on boosters, and this will be the case for a while.

When all the best gear has no AUR version and is massively ISK expensive the only real reason to buy AUR is to use boosters. I also expect to see the AUR to ISK market rise when players realize the VK1's are vastly superior to the Neo's. Much like EvE I think the Dust market will be players primarily buying AUR and selling it for ISK to players who use that AUR for boosters.

So have they kind of screwed players with BPO's, sure. However that's going to be such a minor part of the economy I doubt many players will really care.

I guess the question is then, will CCP even let us trade AUR with other players? If not then maybe my fears are unfounded.

What does that have to do with CCP changing the price of it's Mirco transaction store items? Those are prices set by CCP, If what your saying comes to light, then CCP won't sell a single AUR item ever again. Why buy this standard logi BPO for 12,000 AUR from CCP, when you could buy it from another players for 10,000!

That whole system is going to blow up in CCP's face. No one will purchase AUR BPOs anymore unless there are none left on the player market. Good bye profits.

Will dust no longer be a player driven market if they remove all AUR items apon release and refund everyone's AUR like they did last build?

But ok you've all shown me the way it's totaly ok that we closed beta tester get to rip you all off.

There are people, myself included who stocked up on miltia BPOs when they were going to be increased in price. Now when I heard they were going to increase the price they didn't say how much but I knew it might be a good idea to get at least a small profit.

They increased the price from in some cases, from as low as 400AUR to 12,000 AUR

Now listen, this isn't ingame isk. This is real world funds. How could CCP have the balls to make a change like this after announcing they consider it more or less a released beta with no more resets?

Especially on my 2nd account which had all of it's merc pack AUR just spent on BPOs and I also know I'm not alone.
I don't feel guilty or like I'm cheating, I'm foillowing the rules, and didn't even know how much the price would go up by. I think the rules set by CCP are insane.

Other than AUR spent on boosters people should be able to expect a full AUR reset at the end of beta. It's the only logical move.

By the way for my 20$ merc pack I will be making about 1,000,000 AUR, So thanks CCP. And this character will make a ton of AUR as well.

Give back the SP you got from buying boosters.

Not sure if you meant it this way or not but you're not going to be able to sell anything for AUR.

Hey, tardos, just a reminder, the militia BPOs were twenty to thirty AUR a pop. Not 400. I don't know where you kids are pulling those numbers from, but I assume it's your ass.

AUR isn't real money. It's fake money you bought with real money. You are not getting your real money back.

Playing the market has been a real thing in Eve for some time now. I can assure you personally that CCP really doesn't care. Congratulations on your presumed good fortune.

It is a shame that militia BPO's are only useful to newbies and incredibly stupid players, both of which have trouble using the market. I hope you can sell them.
