CCP said no more wipes of any kind which includes AUR and they're CHANGING the description of their items on the marketplace AFTER people purchased them. |

That is a little weird. I am in the middle on this topic. I find it a little shady if they changed it. I never paid attention enough to read the fine print. Usually when somebody does something like that it's shady business. |

Quite. The description was there because it assumed a reset was going to happen when the game went into commercial release. Which still hasn't happened, so your complaint is invalid anyway. |

I bought a merc pack, bought items with aurums, got reset moving to singularity. Got all my stuff refunded.
I had unclaimed items and aurum, got reset moving to tranqulity, got all my stuff refunded.
Now, i bought a 30 day passive booster, still have unclaimed items, and there will be no more resets.
Why the hell would i be refunded, if i haven-Št lost anything to a reset? |

When the game goes into commercial release they are legally obligated to refund it again and without any SP wipes like people are saying. Sorry if you didnt see a good deal when they were waving it in your face begging you to take advantage of it.
Edit: we have not hit commercial release yet. |

You make a good point, it's almost as if the people opposed to the aur refund are actually just jealous that they missed out. Oh well

Oh they super jelly.
BTW Sony sent me $10 for spending $50 on PSN. Guess what I bought? The aurum pack that gives you 21K aurum and yes I bought the 30 day passive booster that was 25% off. So yea more free stuff!!! |

If they said refund, you must understand the meaning of the word. Unless of course, you-Šre trying to give a new meaning to words, socially implement it, and make it retroactive to justify your point.

I lost the aurum doing to spending it on items in-game and they have the power to, and are legally obligated to, return it.

None of that proves that we've reached commercial release, and none of it confirms that CCP aren't planning to honour their legal obligations. In fact, there's plenty of evidence to say that they're working on a plan to resolve the issues with the Merc Pack. |

I can safely say that most countries will apply the responsibility for this on Gamestop if CCP have advised them (which they supposedly have) of the change. So Gamestop will be paying for those refunds out of their own pockets, or finding a way to make the Merc Pack the product they sold, which will probably involve interesting problems for them. |

CCP are looking to implement a reimbursement program before May 6th but you're free to waste your time doing whatever you like.
My personal suggestion would be to wait and see whether they actually state they are not refunding items. |

Legal, Legal, Legally. I keep hearing this on this subject, but how many of you have actually sought legal advice on this subject?
None?
Thought so.
What you'll find is your blatant attempt to essentially scam CCP out of free stuff by threatening "legal action" is totally flawed. The reason that the refund would have happened was in the event of a full reset on commercial release, resulting in the loss of all AUR benefits and items.
Trying to squeeze CCP for refunds is VERY unethical and immoral. You're twisting the spirit of what was written to your own ends.
So send complaints to Sony. I'm sure they will give in to a couple of dozen people who are blatantly trying to take advantage of CCP, and threaten to shut down Dust, a game which is probably making them thousands of dollars a day.
Also, "commercial release" isn't the same as "out of beta". The game was technically commercially released when it went live on tranquillity and "no more resets or wipes" were announced (note... "no more RESETS"). An AUR reset happened then, just as promised. |

If you push them they'll just pull the same move they did against the RMT buyer that threatened legal action over getting banned; they unbanned him and set his wallet to many billions in the negative. These days they do it to all RMT buyers.

Please Internet space lawyers please don't stop.
The US in particular are prone to kicking off many a wacky lawsuit. Some of which fail fail, but many also succeed.
CCP are simply playing risk management on how far they can push it and some lawyer will by working on how far they can take it.
I just hope this whole things just burns as many people, resources and as much good will as possible regardless of how it turns out. |

exactly my thoughts.
this whole taking advantage of some careless formulation about essentially consumed virtual items in a free game is ethically questionable but there are several examples in the world where that leads to. GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS really ... |

I'd like them to run with that actually.
Anyone who wants an AUR refund has their account fully reset also, since that's the spirit of the wording. |

These days they do it to all RMT buyers. CCP should just make the offer explicit; option for merc pack refund in exchange for SP reset.
You cannot punish a person for asking what you legally agreed to give them. So keep dreaming. If my SP is reset guess what so is yours but you want have anything to show for the reset while I will. I've been through many wipes whats another? |

Yea that will sell tons of future items for CCP. Hey buy this so we can screw you later. Wont happen. |

these pay2win tears taste even sweeter than Warrior tears, hang on a sec let me get my cup
For all those claiming CCP ripped them off, i belive they did state there wasn't going to be any more refund or resets when they announced this build we are playing now.
I would say the game has had its commercial release when it went into open beta
Commercial release = The date on which a game became available to the general public
Sorry but CCP has stated we have yet to be commercially released so your point is invalid. |

Nope, The T&C had the refund clause, but I'm not ******** and fully understood that the spirit of the wording was because the original intention was the wipe everything when the game left beta, and when wiping the server was removed from the equation, so were refunds.

And again, it could be argued that commercial release was the move to TQ, and we are now waiting on the full release - as commercial release and full release are not always the same thing. |

No, she didn't read the EULA.
There's a good reason for that. It's not relevant to the purchase agreement, the contents of which include the product description as it stood at the time of purchase.
Doesn't matter what civilised country you're applying the laws for - I'd say "even" Britain, but "especially" might fit better, since they offer better consumer protection than most US states, in which this is still not legal - but you can't retroactively use a digital product's EULA to get out of ANY detail included in a purchase agreement.

Who cares, you got what you paid for, end of story. If you were being shorted in some manner, then yes something needs to be done. But that isn't the case, so move on already and stop trying to get more than you paid for.

Don't be sad when you fail though. class action law suits are a rare fail especially with something like this where a company is clearly changing an agreement AFTER purchase.

No, you're being dishonest. You have to be a special kind of idiot to not understand the reasoning behind the original refund offer.

But I'm still waiting to get what I paid for. And once we go to commercial release I will be refunded my all my first gen merc. packs and I will then be getting what I agreed too.
Since the last reset, everything you purchased was refunded to use again, which means you got what you paid for since there is no character resets anymore. All the millions of SP you likely got from boosters using Aurum and merc pack bonuses is permanently part of your character now.
You are owned absolutely nothing unless CCP resets us all again (which isn't happening).

No, she didn't read the EULA. There's a good reason for that. It's not relevant to the purchase agreement, the contents of which include the product description as it stood at the time of purchase.

HOWEVER
Those legal rights are waived by signing the EULA (section 3 para 3).

Correct there are no more character resets unless major trouble. BUT there IS one for going into commercial release, which is yet to happen as stated by CCP.

There is no more resets, everything you have now will be part of Dust for the remainder of it's lifetime.
If they do reset, then you will get refunded like you have on past resets. But it isn't happening, 100% guaranteed.

Maybe I am misreading this, but are those "acquired items" actually "items acquired during the beta" or are they purchased goods separate from the beta?
Seems like a very fine description, and would require actual legal minds to explore. IANAL, so I'll skip out on the legalese.
All of this seems like a fools errand, but a part of me hopes they just say F it and reset everyone. I would get a good laugh out of it. |

There's significant legal precedent in many countries - including CCP's chosen jurisdiction - for EULAs to be overruled by purchase agreements.

As a nonpartisan observer on this, I have not purchased a prechange merc pack and I don't work for CCP. All those that bought the merc pack before the change in description should have all of their items and AUR refunded at such a time that CCP places DUST 514 into commercial release. They have stated many times the we are not in commercial release and as per the terms of purchase, for those that purchased a merc pack prechange CCP are obliged to a refund of said merc pack(s) as per their own wording at the point of sale.
It is cut and dry. Those that have no reading comprehension, or simply want to disrupt the normal course of action by saying that CCP doesn't owe those involved anything, are simply trolling. CCP will lock this thread though because they are afraid of facts. |

Why would they refund you Aurum? Your not losing any items and you still keep all the SP earned from boosters.

This satisfies any and all legal requirements pertaining to the matter regardless of which agreement supersedes which, even though I doubt many will take the offer. |

Its also a **** move and seen as bullying. how so? it would fufill the "legal requirements" you guys are arguing about, and it would mean that people who brought merc packs but don't want them refunded at the cost of a reset would be fine |

Ever since the move to TQ and the final reset, it has been generally accepted and understood that we are 'playing for keeps'.
By simply giving people a full, no strings, refund CCP goes against that core principle - which annoys all the players who understand and like the HTFU nature of the universe - especially those who didn't buy any merc packs or aurum and are now missing out on a pile of free stuff.
By simply having another full reset and refund, CCP annoys everyone.
By offering the aforementioned deal, CCP only annoys those who think they've found a loophole that gives them something for nothing.
Basically it's the lesser of three evils. |

By having a optional refund for reset deal, CCP honours the letter of the agreement, which may or may not even be legally binding because of the EULA. They also honour the 'refund only on reset' spirit of the agreement and the 'you don't get something for nothing' spirit of the game. |

Ps feelings are irrelavent to a purchase agreement. Because they brought a merc pack to receive in game items, they received those items, and every time there has been a reset CCP have refunded those items to the player. Every person who has ever brought a merc pack received the items they paid for. asking for an AURUM refund without their being a full reset is a blatant attempt to get free stuff and gain an unfair advantage over free players. You got what you payed for, why are you asking for more?
and before anyone asks i've brought 2 merc packs, after the reset though. |

@Gbghg 'aur refund at commercial release' and you are entirely missing the point, 'aur refund at commercial release' was on the assumption that there would be an sp reset at commercial release, CCP has stated that unless something goes very wrong their will be no more resets. offering an AUR reset which will then be used to buy more BPO's and boosters on top of what people already have will be an incredibly unfair and P2W on CCP's part. and please tell me how it's bulliying? you give those who want a refunf their refund, at the cost of the sp reset which prevents it from becoming unfair on other players, and those who don't want to lose all their sp to get back AURUM don't have too. |

CCP Nullarbor commented he thinks that 'reissuing' items you bought and spent to acquire more SP and Isk wouldn't be fair, but he stated this was just his opinion and has nothing authoritative on the issue.
He also stated Cmnd Wang already made an official statement concerning this so I am currently doing a search on it. |

I don't understand why this topic needs another thread when there are dozens like it already.
To be frank, CCP said we are not in commercial release yet, but they keep hinting we will get there soonGäó. The "no reset" announcement is for the skill points because we will keep the SP as made apparent by the fact we will be refunded our SP on May 6. The "commercial release" clause doesn't mention at all specifically if a reset will occur at the time of commercial release. The description on the merc did say there might be resets before then (which are no longer happening) but as I pointed out, commercial release didn't state if you will be reset at the same time.
Rumors are circulating that CCP is putting together a plan to address the aurum refund issue, but that is not confirmed. I say just wait until the announcement is made. |

You were informed in no uncertain terms in writing that the last aur refund was the last one and the developers even said to spend it wisely. I wish all you little girls would go play with your dolls and leave dust to us adults. This notice came at the time of the last reset so you were fully aware.
CCP changed the mercs pack description to reflect what they already told you. This is in no way "shady" as some are saying to change the mercs pack description to reflect what you were already told. The mercs packs terms of course had to be changed you moron.
I am so sick of this subject. All of you that think you should get an aur reset have already beat this horse to death. Your continued whining is useless. Perhaps once you contact Sony you should send a letter to Congress instead of ANOTHER forum thread.
Since the beta began i have bought about 300,000 worth of aurum and have spent a great deal of it at this point and since I can read I know it is gone.
When my 6 year old gets her allowance she knows when she spends it it is gone. I am amazed my 6 year old is more mature than you.

until commercial release nobody has standing to argue that CCP has/will break their contract [if such contract is to be construed as alleged (which itself is not a done deal)]
there are some circumstances where you can sue in anticipation of breach, but those circumstances almost always revolve around some future damages that would be incurred by the breach. Not just loss of the contracted value.
Short answer, unless you can prove that Dust 514 has entered commercial release, any suit will be tossed your attorneys will charge you for their time and you'll get nothing. If you wait until the breach (if there is one) then you can sue (likely on contingency) and you'll get your day in court.
I doubt this will get anywhere near that far. quit your bitching.

Do you get a Second Golden Rifle on commercial release? or Keep the same one? The specifics of the description being questioned don't say you get your Merc Pack contents all over again, it says you get them "credited back in full".
With that in mind, assuming this Golden Rifle is a BPC, you would be entitled to a replacement Golden Rifle if you had used (and lost) the original, or if you had assigned it to an account you later deleted. If you still had the Rifle, you wouldn't now have 2, but if you no longer had it, you would be entitled to a new one.
If it's a BPO, you're only entitled to the "credit" of a new Rifle if you've managed to lose the original. Assigning it to a character then deleting said character, for example.
In either case, it's possible and perfectly legitimate for all the Merc Pack contents to be "reset" instead of a piece-by-piece refund. Everything on your account that came from the pack gets wiped, and you get it all back to reassign however you choose. CCP could also look at each item in the pack for each player and provide them with replacements of anything that's been destroyed, but leave the already-assigned unused items in their current state.
Also, while they're perfectly within their rights to do so, I doubt CCP would offend their early-adopting customers by offering to honour the legal obligations of the Merc Pack only in conjunction with a skill reset. If they were offering to wipe ONLY the SP earnings that had been boosted using the Merc Pack's booster, or boosters purchased with Merc Pack Aurum, then it would be fair. If they offered to refund everything except boosters, then it would be fair - and could be explained in both a lore-based and a legally-valid manner to cover all bases for why a valid equivalent to your boosters is still present on your account and there's no need to credit those items back.
And I've seen a claim that Sony have somehow magically "invalidated" all purchases under the previous terms. Unless they plan to refund EVERYONE (including Gamestop customers), I'm pretty sure that isn't how it works. |

This is just BLATANTLY incorrect. There has STILL, to this day, been absolutely no word from CCP on AUR refunds. They made a post about SP resets, but they have never said "we are invalidating the Merc Pack, you will not be receiving the second half of the offer."
Never. Happened.

You can't just change the terms of a sale AFTER the sale. I bought 1 Merc Pack, and that Merc Pack included 1 set of gear for beta, and another set of gear at "commercial release". There was no unclear wording, no uncertainty. Only a "moron" would read the description and NOT think they were getting "two for one". Hell, that was CCP's main selling point for the damn things.

I'm amazed at your inability to use proper analogies. We haven't yet received all of the items we paid for, and we are now worried that we will not receive them at all. PRECISELY BECAUSE the developer (CCP) has been strangely silent on the situation for MONTHS even though, as you have pointed out, there have been MANY threads on the issue. |

You can't just change the terms of a sale AFTER the sale. I bought 1 Merc Pack, and that Merc Pack included 1 set of gear for beta, and another set of gear at "commercial release". There was no unclear wording, no uncertainty. Only a "moron" would read the description and NOT think they were getting "two for one". Hell, that was CCP's main selling point for the damn things.
No they absolutely did not guarantee 2 sets of items. The subject of the whole disclaimer is about char resets and the fact that AUR would be refunded in the event that the char was reset. People are picking out one part of a statement that must be taken as a whole and that is that during beta a char reset MAY happen and in that even AUR will be refunded. The statement also says there MAY be a reset on commercial release and in that event AUR will be refunded.
What happened here is that someone with **** reading comprehension read it as a refund of merc pack items at commercial release and then a bunch of other idiots jumped on the bandwagon hoping ccp would cave and they would get a bonus. The optional reset is CCP not caving and I'm happy with that.
P.S. I bought 2 merc packs before the change and I knew immediately what the disclaimer meant, as did many others on here it seems. So the 10 people with **** reading comprehension that are bitching about this can either take the reset to fulfill the disclaimer or keep what they have. |

I read people complaining but couldn-Št understand the main point so far. all aurum purchases we're supposed to be refunded on commercial launch, they're changing the description of the items after we purchased them and claiming they won't refund us. I bought a merc pack, bought items with aurums, got reset moving to singularity. Got all my stuff refunded. I had unclaimed items and aurum, got reset moving to tranqulity, got all my stuff refunded. Now, i bought a 30 day passive booster, still have unclaimed items, and there will be no more resets. Why the hell would i be refunded, if i haven-Št lost anything to a reset? When the game goes into commercial release they are legally obligated to refund it again and without any SP wipes like people are saying. Sorry if you didnt see a good deal when they were waving it in your face begging you to take advantage of it. Edit: we have not hit commercial release yet. The dev blog states that there will be optional aurum refund, at the cost of full character reset. Get the aurum refund and cry me a river |

CCP has refunded us before, I don't know why they won't do it again. Especially since UVT are being removed and some have spent aurum on those. A refund should be done on everything purchased with aurum except sp boosters. |

I think it's common sense tbqh. Although cliche by now, you can't have your cake and eat it.
If you got an Aurum reset without the SP reset, you've had two merc packs when you've paid for one. CCP's full reset offer is quite reasonable. If you care that much about the legal babble, I'm sure you'll take it.
(I've bought merc packs, and had my use out of them. I'm not going to reset.) |

Forcing us to reset characters just so CCP will hold up their end of the bargain is ridiculous and I will be filing a complaint with both the BBB and sony, this is underhanded business tactics that CCP has a history of doing and I won't tolerate it. |

Are you 12 or something? You plan to SUE ccp?..........,,hahahahaha good luck with that one boyo. The majority of players are happy with the deal they got from the merc pack and numerous resets, you (and the others) are a very small % of the player base and majority wins. They won't take notice of the little people. So you get your refund.........then in a few months you want more free aurum and demand another refund. Get a job and get out your parents basement and then you won't be so tight assed with your money, you'll be able to buy numerous merc packs.

Genius. That will teach the greedy scum a lesson. I for my part will keep my progress and decline this offer. Now go ahead greedy scum and get your AUR+Item reimbursment but with the bitter taste of the progress that you lost. CCP never stated that you can keep your SP while a reimbursment happend. Justice has come my friends. |

you'd think that someone so familiar with the legal system would be able to spell... i'm wondering if KK even understood the policy he read. |
