Yeah... No way CCP is giving us isk for EVERYTHING in our inventory...

Hey guys,

Just a quick note. We're releasing an updated version of this blog later today. It contains some slightly different information in it.

Additionally, we won't be removing any of the special items you got from events or anything like that. The reference to returning ISK or AUR value for items refers to anything that we determine is going to be drastically changed by our skill change system and might require removal. We do not have public details on that yet, but we will be posting a longer dev blog in the future which more-fully lays out these changes.

Yup, everyone who has been playing for quite a while is going to get super rich. And remember, they are going to give you back the current market value of aurum items, so that means if you bought the militia BPOs while they were cheap, you're going to actually make a profit!

Gimme dat money.

I'm so upset that they didn't scrap the Eryx or the Prometheus....I have 110 and counting of those pieces of 450K pieces of trash.....

I think you should still be getting that back. You worked I don't see why they wouldn't refund it.

You didn't buy it. They're talking about commitments to playstyles that you might now regret, salvage has nothing to do with that since it's not based on your playstyle. This is how rumors start.

So what you'saying is they are going to steal all my salvage that I worked for?

You've been salvaging a lot, Higgs.

I estimate that with the 25+ Prometheus dropships I have (which I have absolutely no skill in) I will get at least 16 million ISK for those hulls alone. This is not accounting for other salvage that I can't use because I'm only a dedicated knifer.

On may 6 all the market purchasable stuff in our inventories is being replaced by ISK/AUR equivalent to their value (or at least I am lead to believe). I have done a little tallying and have found that, taking into account only the unused market purchasable item that I have salvaged so far, if the ISK refund occurred right now, I would receive exactly 173,839,990.00 ISK for nothing but my unused salvage.

That is quite a chunk of change!

I'm saying that they probably won't touch it. Go back and actually read the thing yourself if you want a source, or wait for the Devblog and get a clear answer.

I did read the thing, and I have already stated what I thought it meant.

As we started re-aligning the progression tree we realized that trying to map the new skills, bonuses and requirements to your existing items was not only complicated on the technical side, but also likely unfair to you[, in that you may have committed to a certain play style, and with the new layout and skills you may find yourself regretting some of your prior choices. We have thus decided that it is far better to re-spec not only the skills but items as well. In short, you will get your skill points (SP) back and the ISK and AUR (in-game currencies) value of any item that is removed from your inventory.

no no no no, CCP hasn`t worded their statements in a way that isn`t missleading (not blaming them... like the 3x wp not 3x sp...) but only the stuff that won`t be in Uprising, the Ehryx`s and the Promithiues (aka logi DSes) will be in Uprising so they will stay in your inventory (they are the best way to gain cash but since they are here to stay you won`t gain them for ISK from CCP), other things are staying, you will only gain SIK from stuff they are removing.

I bolded the important parts for you.

Salvage does require a commitment to use, but not to acquire. You also can't choose to receive it and therefore it's not a choice you can regret. Nothing points to it getting refunded or even touched. This will probably only involve items you actually purchased.
