Purchasers can petition to get their Merc Pack items / AUR refunded, and CCP will refund them after resetting their characters. It fulfills the contract. Anything more is just people being greedy. There you go Baal, that work for you? No, absolutely not. That's disgusting. Why are you people so deadset on the people who bought a Merc Pack receiving the items they purchased? Why would the people who actually paid CCP real world money for those items need to have their progress in the game reset in order to recieve them? How does that make ANY sense whatsoever? Are you just jealous that you didn't buy a Merc Pack when they were still such an awesome deal? If that's the case, just go buy one from Game Stop, the deal is still going on there with that particular Merc Pack. Otherwise stop being so spiteful and let us get the items we bought without trying to figure out a way to screw your opponents out of their purchase. I've bought roughly 10 Merc packs. So no, I'm not jealous. I'm just annoyed when people like you are greedy and try to take advantage of others due to "fine print".
You, me, and everyone else purchased a Merc pack during Closed Beta to get access to the Boosters, AURUM, and other goodies. We were told in the "fine print" that these would be refunded to us after resets and upon "Commercial release". This print was written when CCP intended to reset us at Commercial release. They changed their plans and thus their stance on Merc Pack refunds.
So sure, you're right. According to the "fine print" you are entitled to a refund of your Boosters, AURUM, and items upon Commercial release. Though since the Merc Pack you bought has already been applied to your current character you would effectively be using it twice thus violating the original intent of the sale. So, to correct this double dipping the only logical course of action is for CCP to exercise the "fine print" in their EULA and reset your and other protesting player's characters, thus removing the items you have already applied to your character, before refunding your Merc pack so they keep in line with their original intent at the time of sale.
You can act all disgusted and that you're being screwed over all you want. But the only way that your request is fair is if it is honored in the original context in which it was offered; that Merc Pack purchasers would receive a refund of their items after each and every reset. Anything beyond that is pure greed on your part.
Hopeful CCP Announcement wrote:We will gladly refund any Merc packs purchased by players before XX/XX/XXXX. However, we will be resetting those player's characters before applying the refund. This is to ensure that players who applied the Merc Pack to their characters before XX/XX/XXXX do not benefit from the items and AURUM twice. If you would like your Merc Pack refunded please contact CCP Customer Support at [email protected].
