The Merc Pack included a 30 Day Booster that would be refunded to you at a later date.

Why shouldn't they get exactly what they paid for?

2 for 1 is also known as buy 1 get 1 free. They bought 1 booster, they want to get a 2nd free.

Adverb
Without cost or payment

Because they already used it and will keep the benefits from it. Go to the theaters and watch a movie, once it's finished try and get a refund so you can watch another one.

Gasp!

You mean...they would be getting precisely what they paid for!?

You're right! This is a problem!

The merc pack did not include a 2 30 day boosters, just 1. If people want the booster back, then they should give back the SP they gained from using it the first time.

Are you perhaps confused about what a 30 day booster does?

If the pack clearly said it would be refunded upon commercial release, they have a legal and moral obligation to fulfill that part of the deal, which is something we agreed to when we paid 20 dollars. They can't just randomly decide to go back on it, that's blatantly illegal and borderline stealing.

That was before they decided this would be the last reset, it wasn't intended as some special offer. They bought 1 booster, not 2, it's a simple concept really.

Yes you are entitled to your refund, but no one promised you a free 30 day booster so you should give the SP back.

Yes, and you don't seem to be getting it. Here, let me explain it to you.

A 30 Day Booster included in the Merc Pack is an active booster that multiplies your active SP gain by 1.5x. That means if you make 1000 SP, you'd actually receive 1500 SP.

Now, once you use it up, it's gone. HOWEVER! This 30 Day Booster is to be refunded at a later date. When that happens, you get another 30 Day Booster! And guess what? This one does the same thing as the last one, which I hope you would expect! Pretty neat, huh?

Again, you seem to be ignoring what "free" means. I'm afraid I'm losing my patience and will have to ask you to refer to my previous post.

The merc pack did not include a 2 30 day boosters, just 1. If people want the booster back, then they should give back the SP they gained from using it the first time because at no point in time did they pay for a second booster.

Yes you are entitled to your refund, but no one promised you a free 30 day booster so you should give the SP back.

Commercial release was meant to include a reset, it no longer will. it was always meant to be 1 booster, not 2.

But w/e, I'm done with you.

If you eat a burger then get a refund after you ate it, then it was a free burger.

And yeah, I have no patience for you either.

What? It clearly says in the merc pack it comes with a 30 day booster, which is what makes the pack even worth it to begin with...all of which have been refunded once there was a reset.

Regardless of their original intentions, they're still obligated to give us the entirety of what we paid for, which was clearly stated when I purchased my merc pack.

Guys, need I remind everyone here that the purpose of this thread is to collaborate in sharing ideas to address the problem? This is not the place to argue what's considered buy-one-get-one-free.

take it up with CCP. I don't understand why the decision they made has lead to you lobbying AGAINST the players and FOR CCP, when it seems to be CCP's decision that you have a disagreement with. It just doesn't make sense.

The problem appears to be several have-nots demanding those that have to not-have as well. The solution is to ignore these have-nots, no?

I just want us all to come up with ideas on how to fix this so that CCP can get an idea on what might work best to address the situation. Is that too much to ask?

Let me ask you this: What is there that needs fixing?

Which you will get once they give you the booster back, any additional SP is not what you paid for.

I don't have any problem giving back boosted SP if I get my booster back.

And you will get the booster back, but you shouldn't keep the benefits from having used it the first time.

we will not be punished for it

An unfortunate oversight by CCP, and it certainly doesn't give them some kind of legal loophole not to honor the original conditions the merc packs were purchased under.
CCP isn't ******** enough to remove weeks of playtime for people across the board. You're then rewarding players who never used boosters, which is COMPLETELY backwards.
