CCP, maybe foolishly, worded the Merc Pack description in such a way that it implies there will be refund at commercial release.
CCP also stated there will be no more character wipes.
If you bought Merc Packs/AUR and used the AUR to buy boosters to increase your SP, you've already benefited from it.
If there is no SP wipe, yet you get AUR refund, you are getting double the benefit for free.
CCP cannot please you without doing a character wipe
CCP cannot please everyone else if they do another character wipe because of you.
Do you really think you have CCP's arm bent behind their backs? Really? You think you found a legal loophole and want to exploit it? Really?
All CCP has to do is to never release a "commercial release" and remain in Beta.
They will still get AUR purchases, so they still get paid. Yet we are now living in constant state of flux as "Beta" means CCP can change something with no warning at any time. Having the game in "Beta" does not benefit us players. It makes no difference to CCP.
I work in software development. During my time alone, the company released 3 facebook games all in "Beta". It is now 2 years after the release of the first game, and that project is sun-setting (closing down). And guess what: it is still in Beta. And yes, all legal agreements says we, developers/publisher, can do whatever, including unannounced changes and wipe, while it is in Beta. And guess what again: we had used it, for our benefit at the expense of players. And to top it all off, we don't refund real-money trades when we change something and make a previously desired premium item obsolete. You think our company is alone in this? Far from it, everyone including Zynga do that.
You really want this for Dust? |

Upon commercial release I would give back each of these worthless individuals their AUR in full, while also resetting all their skill points back to 0. I would do this of course without telling the community because honestly they don't deserve the courtesy. Self entitled whiny prats will reap what they sow and the rage will flow. I'll be laughing all the while. That's just me though 
Haha, i like that: you want your refund, lose your SP. |
