So what it has dust stuff in it.

A. Go to ebay and see if ppl are selling it there like ppl did with PS3 bundle stuff

B. Get to the forums on eve or other eve related sites and post there asking to pitch in on the cost of the CE for the Dust stuff, you will find more than a few EVE players that would be happy to accomodate.

C. Stop assuming those BPO won't be avaialble to us in Dust for Aurum like all the other BPOS have been. CCP isn't dumb if there is a demand for it they will make it available, just not for quite some time so as not to undercut their CE sales.

You feel alienated, GTFO did you feel alienated when kingdom of amalur had special unlocks in Mass Effect and vice versa. They are freaking BPOs and more than likely they are STD level BPO's

Also keep in mind there will eventually be a secondary market and you could get these things for free by way of trading for them with ISK. Are you still going to feel alienated then?

God the idiocy of some people. Marketing isn't about hitting every market. More importantly you are playing dust they have you, marketing needs to focus on getting new players in game.

The fact you have no interest in playing EVE means you are exactly the target market for this CE on the other end. The CE just happens to have more EVE related bonuses. But if the BPOS are enough to get you to purchase the CE and try EVE then it has worked.

The obivious answer however is a Dust CE that include a 3 month subscription to eve and some assorted goodies along with Dust related shwag. But lets face it that kind of product is a long way away. Who buys a CE for a F2P game thats hasnt launched and no real lore/art etc to make a decent dust related CE.

I know this has been done before. I know a couple people who bought the golden LAV codes from people who had them. So what do you say guys??? anyone lookin to sell a few codes??

Though I probably should go find EvE forums to post it on there too. Lol Im only half serious about it anyway, it would just be something nice to have, though im not sure if I would actually do it.

Ten-Sidhe Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 463	Posted - 2013.04.28 18:41:00 - [5] - Quote Can't post on EvE forums without EvE account. Try battleclinic maybe, lot of EvE players there that may not have Dust. They will probably end up on Ebay, may run higher then $50 though. It is 3BPO suits and 3 BPO guns. It would probably be about $50 if CCP sold it by itself, lower supply and auction will drive price higher.
Needless Sacermendor Red Fox Brigade 241	Posted - 2013.04.28 18:42:00 - [6] - Quote You'd also have to find out the legality of selling in game items ... usually it's not allowed by CCP. I've mentioned in another thread hopefully they'll provide the means for people to sell the unwanted items in game for isk ... so you could buy the set, redeem your Eve items in DUST to sell on the market to Eve players ... or the other way round. Or obviously save up your iskies and look for someone selling the items you want.

IMHO it makes some sense - that's one way to get EVE players interested in Dust. Like: ohh, a shiny coupon for a suit, maybe I'll download this free game after all"

boba's fetta Thukker Tribe Holdings Inc.

fred orpaul The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 242	Posted - 2013.04.29 09:50:00 - [22] - Quote yea go to an eve site, I plan on keeping it all. That said I'll post on the eve forums and relay any offers I get here.
fred orpaul The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 242	Posted - 2013.04.29 10:05:00 - [23] - Quote oh for the love of god the level of whine! This collectors edition is to celebrate the tenth anniversary of eve, hence why it was targeted to EVE players, if you notice the dust items are more of an after thought, that's because its for eve players. one day when dust has been around a while expect a collectors edition just for dust. As to RMTs given that you are selling codes this shouldn't be a problem, especially as RMT is mainly an issue because the Items tend to come from stolen accounts and be funded by stolen credit cards, this is not possible with the sale of a code so (correct me if I am wrong CCP) this shouldn't be an issue.
fred orpaul The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 242	Posted - 2013.04.29 10:29:00 - [24] - Quote ok I posted the offer on the eve forums I will start a new thread if I get any offers.

I'm waiting on a petition I sent to CCP to make sure this is all above board, once I hear back I will resurrect this thread and start asking for people who want to buy and start putting you in contact with eve players who want to sell.
