Well due to the last "me wants my aurum back" discussion im going to make a statement about it: Those people who demand a refund of all the items and AUR at comercial release are just plain greedy. People didnt bought the merc pack or whatever just so that they all get refunded. In my opinion CCP shoulda had added the context that a AUR and item refund only will take place when a full reset in terms of SP and assets happends. But because we wont get our assets and SP reset its just the greed that people drives with mad demands to CCP. And dont forget that CCP preserved themself the rights to change their policy about this subject. By buying the merc pack you agreed with the terms and conditions. Basically means you cant do anything about it legally. |

We're not greedy, we're entitled to it. it CLEARLY differentiates between RESETS and ON RELEASE. Why would they say AND ON RELEASE if they didn't plan on giving it back ON RELEASE? seems pretty clear to me CCP had a mind to give it all back on release, regardless of a reset, and anyone with a basic understanding of english can understand that after reading the merc pack. |

If they don't reset SP, what about AUR used to buy boosters? What about all the cheap BPOs we purchased before the price hike? I kinda hope they DON'T reset AUR, I want to keep all my stuff |

I fully agree with this statement, I (of my own free will) gave money to CCP for Merc Packs and AUR because I wanted the stuff I wanted to get.
I went into the agreement not expecting to get anything back, though also not expecting to lose anything I didn't give away freely.
Anyone who spent money on AUR or Merc Packs or Tank Packs and is now crying for their money back should blame no one save themselves. |

I wrote the following quote for one of the many threads on this topic, and I think that I'm just going to start reposting it in every one of these threads.
ignoble son wrote:Alright... *cracks knuckles* ...amateur hour is over. Time to get down to brass tacks with this subject (this is truly a snafu of the first magnitude).
Let's do some ethics (hope you packed a lunch):
First, it is necessary for us to CLEARLY define the terminology that was used, and is currently under debate now - in as far as, how it may have -ábeen defined by the consumer, as well as, how CCP may have intended it to be defined, both in light of the actual literal interpretations of said terms.
-áTerms currently under debate:
GÇó Mercenary Pack GÇó Credited in full GÇó Character reset GÇó Commercial release
"...Mercenary Pack will be credited in full to your in-game DUST 514 account after each character reset AND for the commercial release."
(emphasis added)
I am, of course, assuming that the above quote is accurate.
"Mercenary pack" is easy. We all know what it is and what it contains.
"Credited in full", like above, is also VERY clear.
"Character reset", now here is we're we star to run into some problems. What exactly is a character reset (in as far as, both the paying customer and CCP may have defined it).
"Commercial release", and again we run into the same problem as above: what exactly does a "commercial release" Intel?
Let's explore the contested terms.
1. Character reset:
As a consumer, there are two ways to interpret this phrase:
1. Singular: "my character will be reset". This excludes the necessity for the consumer to concern themselves with any other consumer who may have purchased the "Mercenary Pack". In essence, in this interpretation, the consumers purchase occurred in a vacuum.
2. Plural: "all consumers are subject (SUBJECT not entitled) to a reset when it occurs. In this interpretation, the consumer is buying the "Mercenary Pack" with the understanding that the affect, "character reset" insinuates, is as follows: when a character reset occurs, it will affect all consumers.
So, which one is it?
Before we delve any deeper into this, let's take the following scenario under consideration:
During the last character reset (just prior to the open beta launch) if it had been optional, at that time (during that character reset) to opt out of the reset, would this have been desirable to anyone? Speaking from my own perspective, the answer is yes, and I am quite certain that there are many others out there who share sentiment. The reason for this is because I was quite satisfied with what I had, to that point, accomplished with my character. But would this have been fair to the other consumers that were not satisfied? As so many people are so fond of saying, this is a beta, and as such, "a work in progress", an unfinished product subject to change. Now can the consumer be held financial responsible for the purchase of a product that is subject to change? Take the following as an example:
I walk into a grocery store to which it took me two months to drive to (the only grocery store on the planet infact). I take an apple from the shelf, and take it to the teller in order to purchase it. As the teller swipes the apple across the scanner, to ring up the sale, through some act of magic, the apple suddenly turns into an orange. Is it still my responsibility to purchase the orange? The answer is, most emphatically, no.
Now let's say that there are ten people at the teller with me (all purcasing apples) yet mine is the only one that keeps tuning into an orange. Befuddled, I look around in bewilderment and by chance happen to spot a man in a dress shirt and tie waving a wand everytime the teller tries to scan the apple. He is wearing a name tag, it says: "CCP owner/manager". The man notices me noticing him and promptly approaches me, and the following conversation ensues:
CCP: Hello sir. My name is CCP, I'm the owner. What seems to be the problem?
Bob, the unsatisfied customer: Well, quite frankly I'm trying to buy an apply but it keeps turning into an orange.
CCP: Ahh, i see. We have had this problem happen before. I am afraid that you will have to return to you're place of residence, obtaine a notarized afidavid stating that you have returned to your please of residence, and then return to CCP Mart, at which time, we here a CCP Mart guarantee that the issue will be resolved.
Bob, the unsatisfied customer: but it took me two months to drive to CCP Mart, what about the time and effort I spent to get here?
CCP: I am quite sorry sir. That is CCP Mart policy.
I'll leave it up to your imagination to figure out what bobs reaction is at that point.
So, as we should all plainly be able to see, an option to opt out of a reset is not an ethical/fair one, because all of those satisfied with the game get to continue on being satisfied with the game while those who are not satisfied, loose an irreplaceable set of commodities: time and effort.
Ok, that takes care of the first contested term. Let's move on to the next:
2. Commercial release:
Legally speaking, this is VERY specific, as well as, VERY binding and for good reason: because it removes consumer responsibility to act responsibly with their purchases until CCP makes the consumer aware that the property has been "commercially released"
Regardless of what CCP had intended to mean by "commercial release" is irrelevant. The fact is that the two terms "commercial release" and reset are not connected in any way, no matter how much CCP or any one else, for that mater, wants them to be. By this term, CCP is legally obligated to credit the items in question to any consumer that purchased a Mercenary Pack.

Yeah I'll be honest I was pleasantly surprised with the first AUR reset, did not expect that at all. Im playing the game which was free to download and play...CCP has to make money somehow, so I have no issue with no further AUR resets. |

ignoble son wrote:The simple fact is that CCP should never have included "commercial release", in the contract literature, if that is not what the were intending to do. it is miss leading in the extreme, and gives those who were mislead by it a valid argument:
I was not responsible with my money because CCP assured me that I did not have to be until the "commercial release".
There is, legally, only three options that CCP can pursue:
1. Reset all player accounts upon-ácommercial release
This is an option that neither the majority of the player base nor CCP themselves want. I can tell you personall that, if my lifetime skill points is reset to zero again, I will no longer be playing this game, and I am sure that there are many others out there who would feel the same, which is the reason why CCP does not desire this option ether.
2. CCP can offer to reset the accounts of any one who wants a Mercenary Pack credit, however, this is entirely unethical toward those who were genuinely mislead by the language of the purchase contract. If this is the path CCP chooses, I will not choose to have my character reset, but neither will I be leaving the game.
3. CCP can take it on the chin like a real man, cut their losses and give out the credits to every one who bought a Mercinary Pack, as to HONOR the original agreement. I would actually consider it a reward to those who helped CCP develop their game in beta. This seems reasonable, and was, in all honesty, what I interpreted this thing to mean when CCP announced that there will be no further "character resets".
And that's my 20 cents worth. Hope this all in some way helped this debacle to get resolved in a desirable fashion that is agreeable to all parties involved. |

You probs aswell go to McDonalds, order 3 burgers then you go out eat 1 of the burgers in a hurry and then you run back in and say that they have forgotten to put the 3rd burger into the bag and demand that they give it to you.

Yeah, it was a bit of a pleasant surprise, though it doesn't need to happen again as far as I am concerned.

Yes you got your AUR back but all the progress with SP and the items that you earned with ISK or salvage had beeing reset. And that was not the pleasent part. People basically want the pleasent thing without the drawbacks. |

They have the right to alter anything you "own" in the game that you acquired THROUGH IN-GAME MEANS.
They DON'T have any right to alter the terms of purchase under which we bought the Merc Pack, which specifically stated that we get a full credit of all our Merc Pack contents on every reset (all of which have been done) AND AT COMMERCIAL RELEASE (which hasn't happened yet). They also have only limited rights to alter the contents of the Merc Pack when crediting us with that gear. They could, for example, alter the stats on the HK4M Shotguns that come with the pack, or change the Dragonfly suit to a Minmatar design instead of the current Gallente version. But we still have to get every item - OR an equivalent item - as described in the Merc Pack contents that comprised a portion of the purchase agreement.
The terms that we as customers agreed to - AND which CCP agreed to by selling us our Merc Packs with that description - directly state that, regardless of whether commercial release includes a reset or not, those of us who bought Merc Packs at that time are legally entitled to another crediting back of our Merc Packs. There's no ambiguity, no "maybe you'll get the credit and maybe you won't", no "you only get your release-day credit if we decide to have a reset at the time". |

No it didn't. It states that they MAY need to reset during beta and on commercially release, nowhere did it state they would be resetting on commercial release. |

They promised a full credit of the contents of the Merc Pack on commercial release, but they didn't promise a reset with it. |

I am not greedy I am just used to hold people accountable.
1. I purchased a deal and I want CCP to come through with it with no gimmics intended to weasel their way out of it. I paid money and expect back the promised product/service just as promised on the release.
2. People who whine about this in the vast majority were too cheap to buy any packs or aurum. It's the people who don't give a damn and want a freebie. They are not the ones paying their hard earned money to support the developer. And then you see these same ppl crawl out of somewhere and start pontificating about greed. I find it ironic. |

Your failed attempts at farming likes with a blatant troll post probably won't work, and that certainly does not change the VERY CLEAR WORDING on the mercenary packs.

This would then imply that there was a thread about this that they were "officially" endorsing, which would be more than they've said on the issue in 3 months of it being almost constantly present on the first page of this forum.

You feel that you are entitled to something for free when you're not, it really just boils down to that.
All of the people who are crying for their AUR back are doing the same thing my 5 y/o does when he doesn't get his own way; throwing a tantrum, nothing more, nothing less.
You can spin it however you want, try to get all legalese on it as much as you want but in the end it all boils down to throwing a tantrum like spoilt children. |

I paid for a Merc Pack. That Merc Pack included items to be used during the beta, and another set of those items to be received at commercial release. What about that are you failing to understand? It's really not that complicated of a premise. I have yet to receive the set of items I purchased that are to be given to me at Commercial Release (whenever that may be).

I bought stuff like the Merc Pack and extra AUR because I wanted to support CCP and DUST. I have basically bought a new game in terms of what I've spent in total, and for now, that's that. That I got in-game goodies is an added bonus. Having thoroughly read the terms of use and the store descriptions of these real-money purchases, I actually half-expected to see it all disappear once the game exits beta status. Anything they refund or let us keep or goodies they award us for participation is awesome of them, in my book.
That said, it's not necessarily that people are greedy, it's that they're confusing these purchases with buying a finished product or some form of special service rendered. Right now, IMHO, paying CCP money for DUST in any form is kind of like funding a kickstarter project. The way I understand it, they're letting you keep what you paid for, and compensating for things they take away. In other aspects, you have to rely on the company's good will that you will eventually get what you paid for, which you should only do in good faith. They never agreed to anybody paying now, and getting twice their part of the bargain just for being firsties, though. |

Takes more than a grasp of English. How about some logic. The original plan was to have a final full reset at launch. The plan changed.
CCP told us this in the following threads Below as well as many players threads I have included asked this same thing over and over and over again. There is no way anyone could mistake the clear decision for 1/10/13 to be the final reset and the last aurum reset. Hell there were even podcasts on the subject with devs saying this in IRC as well.
CCP changed the plan of how they would be doing resets and they let everyone know this. Now magically people somehow believe that CCP should have known their future change of plans ahead of when they first wrote the mercs pack description. I am going to give you all credit for not being so stupid you think CCP knows the future and assume you simply want something for nothing.
Stupidity or greed aside CCP specifically told us that they were making 1/10/13 the LAST reset to give us a little head start on the open beta players as a way of saying thanks to the closed beta players. CCP did the right thing and it was to benefit us to not have to go back to zero and grind it all again. You should be thankful for that rather than trying to get one over on them.
Use some common sense, plans changed. You were informed of the Change and then they changed the wording of the mercs pack to reflect the new plan. If you disagreed with this you should have expressed in the forum or in a petition to CCP BACK THEN that you wanted to have another reset at commercial release to include your SP. If you didn't do it then you are crap out of luck now and have absolutely no leg to stand on with your argument.
So if CCP were to give in and say OK we are going to only reset your aur on may 6 and let you keep the SP this is the last reset (sound kind of familiar I can swear we were already told the 10th was the last reset). I can bet you selfish, cheap, morally bankrupt cry babies would post these same threads the moment a new build was coming and would say well yeah they said its the last reset again but the mercs pack wording said a reset upon commercial release.
How about you quit trying to cheat CCP for making a change in plans to benefit you.
IF you want an aur reset then it should come with a FULL reset like it had every time up to the 10th. If you disagree you are just trying to cheat CCP which in turn is cheating ALL of the players including those like me that have bought 300,000 aur to date. Yes its also trying to cheat me since I have invested in this game in hopes it will succeed and greedy small minded instant gratification children such as you are potentially harming CCP by reducing profit which can be used to make this game better for us all.
Below are just a small sample of the threads including OFFICIAL CCP ones explaining No more resets.

There are tons more with many of the same people who are whining today and back then they accepted it was the last reset. Funny how outraged they are now when we are close to a new build with planetary conquest and they weren't then.

If they don't take it away (reset) you have received, used it, and got the benefit of it. |

If CCP always planned for a reset on launch, why did they make a CLEAR differentiation between "resets" and "on release" if just the word "reset" would cover EVERYTHING? |

I have basically bought a new game in terms of what I've spent in total, and for now, that's that. That I got in-game goodies is an added bonus. Having thoroughly read the terms of use and the store descriptions of these real-money purchases, I actually half-expected to see it all disappear once the game exits beta status. Anything they refund or let us keep or goodies they award us for participation is awesome of them, in my book.
That said, it's not necessarily that people are greedy, it's that they're confusing these purchases with buying a finished product or some form of special service rendered. Right now, IMHO, paying CCP money for DUST in any form is kind of like funding a kickstarter project. The way I understand it, they're letting you keep what you paid for, and compensating for things they take away. In other aspects, you have to rely on the company's good will that you will eventually get what you paid for, which you should only do in good faith. They never agreed to anybody paying now, and getting twice their part of the bargain just for being firsties, though. Closed beta version of Merc Pack description, courtesy of Deluxe Edition and DUST 411.
That says very clearly that people who purchased the Merc Pack on those terms are entitled to a reset of our Merc Pack with every character reset, AND a reset of the Merc Pack at commercial release - REGARDLESS of whether there's a character reset for commercial release or not.
The wording is clear and specific and easily understood.
It doesn't guarantee a reset or lack thereof. It only guarantees a credit of all Merc Pack contents, meaning that we SHOULD be getting everything back when the game is officially released. |

I'm not attacking anyone, I am simply stating how I view things. In all of the threads I have read where people are demanding that they get their AUR refunded "on commercial release", they're doing little more than having a sophisticated tantrum. They may not be stamping their feet and shrieking at the top of their lungs (IDK though, they might be doing that at their keyboard), but they are nonetheless throwing a tantrum.
I paid for multiple merc packs as well as a tank pack to try them out, you don't see me making childish demands regarding AUR do you? I gave CCP my money because I want to see them succeed with Dust, not because I wanted to get double what I paid for. If CCP halves the price of all things AUR/Dust related, then I might be up in arms about it, until then though, I'm happy with the purchases that I've made.
As of this post, I am washing my hands of this topic. I've made clear my views on the topic and just for clarity's sake, I'll reiterate them below.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Anyone demanding CCP refund their AUR is throwing a tantrum no matter how hard they try to sound sophisticated about it. No refund, No SP reset (beyond the respec on the release of Uprising and any other future builds).
HTFU or GTFO
/discussion as far as I am concerned. |
