SP cannot stay intact because some of that sp was earned at an accelerated rate using booster's included or bought with the aurum included with the merc pack. why is this concept so difficult for some people? |

I'm just curious as to what you mean by "see it that way"?
I'm not being a jerk, I just don't understand what everyone is so confused about.
Commercial release for sofware simply means it's available to everyone for purchase instead of only an exclusive group of people having access to it No it doesn't. So an open BETA doesn't exist? If it's open then it is available to everyone and so therefor has to be a commercial release? You said "for purchase", maybe that's your metric then? How much did you pay for your copy of DUST? I'm beginning to hope you are trolling me because I'm starting to get concerned.
So who has jurisdiction over what CCP calls it? DEA? ATF? RIAA? They're from Iceland but this DEV team is in China so maybe it's Interpol? A company can sell a "BETA" as easily as they can sell a "Commercial Release" so long as it is expressly understood what it is you are paying for.
So now that argument can be put to bed and people can stop sounding stupid. It says BETA at the top, it's a BETA. Nothing makes it anything else until the company says so. Simple concept, really. It is what CCP says it is. There is no room for debate or misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with them selling AUR or not. It has nothing to do with who has access to it. These are terms used by software developers to communicate where they feel the game is in the development cycle.
They've been accepting money for it since the beginning of closed BETA, right? So I'm guessing everyone thinks it never was a BETA and just went straight to commercial release?

No more refunds. If you lose something now then it's gone.
An open beta is where you let potential costumers test the product and mess around with it. Key word being "potential" customers, we are no longer potential customers, well maybe I am since I haven't bought anything, but anyone who has bought something is a customer, not a potential customer.
How much did I pay for Dust? Nothing, because they don't charge for playing, they charge for items, Dust relies on micro transactions. So asking me how I much paid was a stupid question.
CCP can call it whatever they want, it doesn't change what it is. |

Let me make this simple for you.
Take what we have now and put it on a disc and include an access code for a "free" merc pack, then send it to to Gamestop and have them charge 20 for the game. You're going to tell me that that wasn't a commercial release? What difference does it make if people paid for Dust or the merc pack? People are still spending money on this. |

Ok, we're done. I was debating this with you because I was bored and it was what I thought a simple concept. I'm still bored and its still simple but this isn't any fun any more.
You have addressed exactly none of the points I've made. If you want to debate someone it is good practice to listen to what they say and respond to them. Ignoring them completely and just saying "everything is what I think it is because I said so" doesn't get anybody anywhere.
And also that phrase I quoted up there just plain makes me sad.

i dont give a crap having my AUR back. i'm not that cheap of a player to try and screw those over.
A bad line in a product description doesnt mean you HAVE to try and use it. To me, AUR has to be refund when the progress you made using it is ERASED. That's it.
And i dont want to see anything erased. that's for sure.

Bout 7 weeks ago when i learned that this 'was it' i told my corp mates i could see a lot of people kicking off about spending AUR in the belief that since its a beta they will get it back when commercial release kicks in and there would be a big uprising and demand for a reset for all the AUR wasted on the battlefield, i was told not to be silly
but tbh at first i wondered about getting a reset myself but i've made the most of all the boosters i bought and i have the sever/raven bpo's to use so i'm not that fussy now even to the fact that i would prefer to stay as i am now since i have spent some serious grinding after being told that we wouldn't be reset anymore.
if anything the only request i want on 'commercial' release is SPs set to unallocated to rebuild my char. i remember a dev post saying something along the lines that its unfair to ask us to test weapons and suits using our sp and be stuck with it so a reallocation would be most likely

Besides, as I've said earlier in this thread; CCP should give people the option to reset everything and get back their AURUM and BPCs.
Though I can't personally figure out why anyone would want to go back to 500k SP and grind all the way back up while the rest of us are going to be running around with millions of SP and lots of officer loot. |

Well CCP said they would never reset SP so as to make a character equal to a newly created character, so they should give them 600kSP, y'now, since people want to be literal and all |

I'm not sure how they could refund aur. Bpos are one thing. You can just buy em again. But expended items such as boosters, equipment lost in battle, and uvts-- that'd be impossible. As such an aur refund probably would end up including a reset. |

I swore I was done with this but it's DT and I seriously can't let this fly. For the umpteenth time, the words "Commercial Release" are industry terms and have nothing to do with whether or not it was paid for. Companies can charge for a BETA and it will still be a BETA and the can give away a title that is a Commercial Release for free.
Again, just because you paid for it does not make it a Commercial Release. It simply means a stage in development that the company feels the product is complete enough to not need a disclaimer telling people that more features are coming. The Commercial Release stage also deals with how stable the developer think the product is and so on.
A Commercial Release is not related to whether or not people pay for.
Whether or not people pay for it has no bearing on it being in the Commercial Release stage.
Whether or not people pay for it and the products status as BETA or Commercial Release are not related.
If you read what I was saying you would see I've said this several times already. Do I need to go on?
CCP, holy hell we need new content this can't be the only thing to talk about. It doesn't even matter...but I do love to debate things with people. |

If you're not already outraged about it best not to get involved. Although this discussion actually seems to be about whether or not the game is still in open BETA or if it is now in the Commercial Release stage of development. |

On a personal level I couldn't care less if I don't get the merc pack items/aurum back for commercial release, because that's not my problem with this situation.
Obviously CCP planned to have a full reset at commercial release, but then they changed plans to having the final reset with the move to TQ where the game was still in (closed/open) beta. Instead of openly coming out and saying plans were changed and merc pack items/aurum wouldn't be given back at commercial release they tried to ninja change the terms of the sale and be completely hush hush about it.
I'm sure CCP has lost credibility with this, and that can't be fully forgiven even if they decide to fully admit the situation at this point. |
