IMO I think CCP should offer everyone a choice during "commercial release", Total reset (sp, aurum, items, everything) or keep what you have. Me personally I would keep what I have because I would not want to loss all that hard earned sp and I would not want to pay full price for the BPO items I got for sooo much less.

The merc pack must be "credited in full", that means that come commercial release you're character must posses each item that was included in the merc pack, or "an item of equal worth". By allowing you to keep any boosted SP, CCP have already credited "an item of equal worth to you", since the boosted SP is of equal worth to the booster you used to obtain it.

That means CCP does not have to give you another booster when they re-credit the rest of your merc pack.

You didn't use the booster to it's fullest potential? That's your problem.

They do not have to bully you, CCP reserves the right to reset you character at any point during the beta. So really a choice would them being nice.

lol this discussion is hillarious. Allmost like watching a child pulling up a tantrum cause you refuse to give it candy. Usually the kid gets slapped and told off not to do that. And the same will happend for those who demand a full set of purchased items for no reason at all. Dont get me wrong i did bought 3 merc packs cause of the fancy 30 day boosters and AUR to get the passive boosters for a maximum SP gain. Sure would be nice to have additional stuff for aboslute no reason but on the other hand its just greed that motivates the people on these topics. And if we go into "comercial release" the merc pack price wont change and you will aswell only get 1 set of the promoted items not 2 when buying it after that point. CCP could aswell just claim that the open beta start was the comercial release and with that kick every 1 in the butt. Cause at that point we had a char reset and full reimbursment of the purchased items. I think CCP should man up and declare the open beta entry as comercial release and we would be done with this silly discussion. But then people would rage why they didnt got the double of the promoted items. You can basically say that the open beta was the comercial release cause it got very big advertised on the PSN store, you can buy multiple packs for it and every 1 whos has a PSN account can download the client for free without signing up for a beta code.

Here you go

lol What does whether I workfor CCP, or not, have to do with anything? I'm simply pointing out what they could argue, because it's what I would argue.

The merc pack says "credited in full" and that they reserve the right to substitute things for "items of equal value". That means that if you got 50 dragonfly scout suits with the merc pack and then you lost 15, then you must receive 15 dragonfly scout suits so that you posses 50 again. It does not mean you get another 50. That extends to the boosters, and Aurum, that came with the merc pack, as long as you keep anything you gained from using them, then "items of equal worth" have been credited to your account.

Okay well what if CCP said okay we have heard all of your QQing and are going to do a complete character/merc pack reset during commercial release to for fill their contractual agreement.

Yes.

Yes. But it's "re-crediting" not "refunding" and it applies to each item within those merc packs, not the entire thing. You'd still only have 25 toxin BPOs, since they didn't get used up.

Okay So what would be wrong with doing that but giving the option for the player not to be reset.

Yeah, I guess... I'd call this CR, but my opinion on that is irrelevant.

Edit: But it's "re-crediting" not "refunding" and it applies to each item within those merc packs, not the entire thing. You'd still only have 25 toxin BPOs, since they didn't get used up.

Edit 2: Just saw the other post, so ignore the first edit.

Because CCP hasn't given an official response to the issue, and people are impatient

No I do not understand your point how is it forcing you is they could just do the reset anyways.

Okay I concede to have completely different opinions on the topic.

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.

No, it should be done per request, so promise to keep SP from beginning on open beta can be kept. They want their AUR back? Sure, they start clean (RESET) with everything from their merc packs refunded. There will be no "I got advantage from AUR and then got AUR back" topics in the forum. This will be fair and will let people choose.

Otherwise just re-spec and have a good time.

I've bought two merc packs, spent boosters and AUR, I'm happy with it. I would like to keep my inventory and character as is and buy more merc packs when they are offered. I support CCP by giving them my own, hard earned money, not by taking money away. Everybody started grinding like crazy on open beta and hailed "no more resets, go go go", but now you bastards want to get AUR back, because that's in the TOS? Cheap kittens, reset is too good for the lot of you.
