Please CCP, DUST Admins, GMs, whatever, make a couple threads "official" and lock all the new ones. Please
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.
I would be happy with that. |

Yeah, great response. "you spent real world money and didn't get the stuff you paid for... well the game is Free to Play, if you don't like it GTFO".
I'm sure that sort of response would go over great in the gaming community. |

I'm sure that sort of response would go over great in the gaming community. Thing is, you got the stuff you paid for, you just wouldn't be getting it again without paying for it again which is what you want. You feel that you are entitled to something for free when you're not, it really just boils down to that.
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).

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.
You can make all the ad hominem attacks you want, but they don't improve your terrible premise and bad logic. |

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. 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.
That is CCP's problem, not ours. If their plans changed, they should have taken into account the agreements they made with their paying customers who already purchased items to be received "at commercial release". Don't take away stuff I bought because CCP changed their plans, I have no control over CCP's plans.
Quote: 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.
looked through all those threads, none of them say that the Merc Pack will no longer be honored, or that the terms agreed upon within the Merc Pack were being changed. In fact, none of those threads say anything about items purchased for "commercial release".
Quote: 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.
I don't care if they changed their plans. They sold me a product and they need to honor that sale. They should have thought about the implications, it was an obvious issue that people brought up as soon as CCP started posting those threads you linked to, and they NEVER ONCE responded about the problem. They intentionally ignored it and DIDN'T address it in any way.

Simply saying "I'm not attacking anyone" doesn't absolve you from attacking people.
Quote: 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.
For the last time, the Merc Pack was for a set of items at each reset, and another set of items at commercial release. That's what I purchased, that's what you purchased. If you're happy with only getting half of what you paid for, that's your prerogative man. I'm not happy with that. I expect to receive the entirety of what I purchased, plain and simple.
Quote: 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.
Your argument is bad and you should feel bad. |

charlesnette dalari wrote:Baal Roo, You say CCP's plans changing doesn't matter to you and yet I know you have seen the line "Subject to change ". You also say that none of the threads I posted show where CCP said you would not get your aur refunded again after the 10th. You are feigning stupidity to not know what the words "last reset" mean In this link which was the migration dev blog I posted earlier http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/74180
Why would anyone assume that "last reset" means "we have nullified the agreement of the Merc Pack, you will not be receiving the rest of your purchase"? That would be an absolutely ridiculous assumption.
charlesnette dalari wrote: So Baal am I wrong to assume that you want what was in the mercs pack without a full reset including SP? I am pretty sure that's the case and if so all of your arguments are useless since in reality we both know you want something you didn't pay for. You want the SP you got from the boosters, bpo you bought before the price went up etc. Its also quite disengenuous to be making all this racket right before PC. That's the true motivation right you are looking for an equipment edge.
I want what I paid for, a refund of all Merc Pack items at Commercial Release. This has nothing to do with the May 6th Uprising update, because Uprising is not yet "commercial release".
charlesnette dalari wrote: What is even funnier is this thread below where you call someone a cheap ass over them complaining about UVT prices and you and your aur refund buddies are the definition of cheap asses wanting something they didn't pay for rather than doing what I and most of us will do and buy additional mercs packs when we need them rather than trying to get them free. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=465720#post465720Baal Roo #12Posted: 2013.01.12 06:45 | Report If you play the game enough to WANT to have UVT, and refuse to pay 50-ó a month to the upkeep of the otherwise completely free entertainment, you're a cheap ass.
This isn't about the money, it's about principle. I completely disagree with the assessment that I "want something I didn't pay for", because I DID pay for a Merc Pack. I am simply advocating to receive the entirety of the content that I purchased, which again, included a full refund of all items at commercial release.
The UVT is $.50 a month, and it's clear in the description what you are purchasing. If someone said "I bought a 30 day UVT, but it only lasted 15 days" I would be 100% on their side. Seems YOU would be arguing "well, they changed their plans, now the 30 day UVTs are 15 days, HTFU". Again, it's not the price that matters, it's the principle. You don't change a product sell to someone AFTER they purchase it. That's just slimy.
charlesnette dalari wrote: Perhaps CCP should give all you aur refund guys a tin cup you can carry in the game instead of a rifle. They did say they could substitute items.
You also say that if CCP doesn't let you cheat them and us players that purchased merc packs that are not looking for an unwarranted aur refund (some players think CCP making a profit is good for the games long term success) that you are going to qwit and take yoo ball home and tell the whole 600 in your corp you are leaving. Good riddance. I am sure dust can survive without you and anyone that agrees with you that cheating CCP out of profit and in effect cheating other honest customers is OK. I hope CCP does the right thing here for us honest customers you are trying to cheat and tells you cheap asses to do what the rest of us do when we want a mercs pack, WE PAY FOR IT since the last reset was 1/10/13
You are the one advocating to "cheat" Merc Pack purchasers out of part of their purchase. This whole thing is about principle. You don't sell someone a product and then ex post facto decide "well, you only get half of this stuff because we have 'changed our plans' ". That is despicable behavior. Why would anyone want to play a game where the developer sells players a product, and then removes half of the items they purchased with no equal value replacement?
I honestly don't understand your argument man. I can't figure out where your motivation is derived from. We purchased Merc Packs that were specifically designed and marketed to us as a way to prepurchase items for Commercial Release, and now 6-9 months from Commercial Release still inside the Beta, you don't think we should get those items on release and should be happy to have them used-up in a beta with 10% of the content here.
I wonder if maybe you weren't around a year ago when they first started selling these, and thus don't understand how hard they pushed them as a "prepurchase for launch" and how they assured us over and over again that "it would be wrong to charge you real world money for Beta items". |

You cannot bully me into accepting a reset to get what we agreed upon when purchasing. AKA Bullying.

WyrmHero1945 wrote:The logic answer to the AUR refund problem is a full SP reset (SP back to 500,000). You know they can do it if they want to since there's no wording about not resetting SP. You get all your AUR back but you'll have to grind again. It's one of the reasons some of us don't care about AUR refund and are happy enough with the SP refund of May 6th.
Orenji Jiji wrote:Way out is easy. On commercial release allow people to RESET their account -- all characters are wiped to initial SP/ISK level, all AUR is reimbursed and all assignable items are ready to be assigned again.
This way they are given their precious AUR back and can STFU. T&Cs don't say that it can not be done this way, so please CCP, consider this.
This place astounds me.
So many CCP white knights.
It doesn't matter the customers only got half of what they bought, because "CCP changed their plans"?
If I want the rest of my purchase I should have to reset my character because CCP can't get their **** together?
REALLY? You people STILL are advocating this RANSOM bullshit? |

Your reset idea is only good for people who did not buy any merc packs or only one or two, while hurting others who bought more (it's Bullying). I've read it and I'm saying -- give people a fair choice. You're saying -- bullying. Seems to me that you're running a scam here and trying to get as much people as possible to whine with you, just to kitten with CCP and force their hand. And you dare to speak about supporting them at the same time. Are you stupid or trolling? Getting AUR back without reset is unfair. You got your moneys worth, and want to hold to it while you get your money back. Can't spell it any other way -- you're a scammer. Deal with it.
Take it up with CCP, they are the ones who sold the Merc Pack and set the commercial release time table. Don't punish players who support the company with resets.
All in all, it looks like CCP fully intends to honor their agreement, so the argument is moot aside from marveling at the glorious white knights. |

That I would agree was wrong and I expressed my feelings to CCP in a petition. I didn't see people then screaming about it and many told those of us that bought them cheaper oh well the price changed.This is completely different.
I agree, that isn't really anything like this Merc Pack situation. My hypothetical example was. You buy a 30 day UVT, but it's only good for 15 days. You ask "what about my other 15 days" and people on the forum say "well, plans changed, you paid for 30 but too bad... you get 15 because fairness". If we should just expect that CCP can change your purchase AFTER you make the purchase, what confidence does that instill in people that they should actually purchase things? You never ACTUALLY know what you'll be buying because it can DRASTICALLY change (ie: half the content removed).
Now again, CCP has already stated that they will be doing something to fix this situation, it's just sad that it's taken them this long to respond about it.
charlesnette dalari wrote: We were informed of the change before it happened.
No, we absolutely were not. Never. Happened.
charlesnette dalari wrote: In your world CCP can never make a change to plans for fear of this kind of crap.
strawman.
They can make any changes they want, they just have to make sure if they have already sold someone something that they make sure and give them something of equal value to the thing they sold them. Simple as that.
charlesnette dalari wrote:As far as how long I have been around, look up my history I have been in the beta since about 2 weeks after it started before eve pilots were even given keys. Most of the mercs packs I bought were the "old" description in about the amount of 240,000 aur so I would have a lot to gain by agreeing with you on this subject. The ONLY way I would think this would be fair to return the aur would be if it came with a full reset but that isn't what you want which says your position is based on greed not fairness.
How is holding SP ransom fair? It's not MY fault CCP can get their **** together. It's not MY fault they sold me a Merc Pack on the premise of a refund of all the items on release. That's CCP's fault and I take offense to the idea that I should have to PAY for their poor planning.
Who in their right mind would want their progress reset? How is that in ANY way fair? You can argue that the Merc Pack was too good of a deal, and CCP sold an "unfair" product. That's fine. You can argue that CCP has created a situation that is unfair for people who didn't buy Merc Packs when they were such a good deal. But don't argue that it's somehow MY fault that they sold Merc Packs with gear to be refunded at commercial release. That's not MY fault, and it's not MY problem. You're attacking me, when the people you have a beef with are CCP. I paid real world money for those items to be received at Commercial Release, that's how it was advertised here on the forums to me, and that's why I bought it... why should I be punished at commercial release for wanting to actually get the thing I purchased.
You're saying that I, the purchaser of the item, should be reset because CCP screwed up their release schedule (or at least, how it pertains to the items they sold me). |

LOL, well aren't you a super special snowflake, you justice defending CCP supporter, you. And here my whole life I thought that you can either eat the cake or have it. Because in real world you can not get your money back and keep the goods, why would you think it would work here? Goods or money back. It's not "punishment" it's how exchanging goods for money works.
I want EITHER the goods, or the money I paid. Either is fine. The "goods" in this case being the Items listed in the Merc Pack refunded at Commercial Release. it's not rocket science and, as it turns out, CCP agrees (why wouldn't they, it's completely obvious).
Orenji Jiji wrote: And I for one am not marveling at the amount of self entitled douchebags trolling these lands. Bunch of whiners constantly bitching about everything, you've been ruining the game for a year now. Great job! Moreover you're pushing us towards global SP reset and if you succeed, then congrats, as this will be the best mass troll so far.
I have absolutely no interest in a global reset, CCP has specifically stated they won't do a global reset unless something "catastrophic" happens, and they have already stated that they will be honoring the Merc Packs. So, what are you on about exactly?
Orenji Jiji wrote: And good luck taking CCP to court over this when your campaign fails, I'm sure they're not ready for you after running EVE for 10 years. I'm almost certain, that they've already soiled their breeches and are ready to surrender. Godspeed.
Wait, are you even responding to the right person? Are you even in the right thread? What are you talking about? I have absolutely no intention or interest in suing CCP over a few bucks. |

May isn't the real release either. It's v.8, with the current numbering scheme that means we are still 2 builds and 6 months out from release. |
