The answer was that it will, so people will get millions of AUR for all of those BPO items they bought back when they were like 100 AUR each.
CCP Eterne, can you confirm that all instances of militia BPOs that a player owns will be refunded at current market prices? Because it would be very dissapointing if that was the case.
Making ISK from market opportunities that arise in Eve/Dust is all fine and good. But giving out AUR worth thousands of real life $$ to players just because they bought a stack of militia BPOs for the price of a single merc-pack in January definitely crosses a line.
I really hope CCP considered that when making their plans for refunding items. Imho, there is no point in refunding more than one BPO of each type, since a player can't use more than one anyway. All extra BPOs were bought clearly with the intent of never using them, so why refund them because of the skill change? |

I don't think you should be refunded for dropships you received in salvage because you have no intention of using them. Just you though, everyone else is cool.
Duh, you just proved my point. Why do you think CCP is refunding all your stuff? They do it so all the isk you already paid on stock piles of items is not wasted should you decide to never use them because of all the changes they made to the skill tree. Now how does that apply to the random salvaged items you got for free and that you never paid any money for? Yeah right, it doesn't apply to them at all. But you're lucky because apparently CCP can't decide whether the items in you inventory were bought on the market or you got them through salvage, so they'll refund all of them anyway. Easy solution, and everyone is happy, including you and me.
Now, refunding people millions of AUR is a whole other story, and imho it would just be ridiculous if CCP actually went through with that. Besides, why would anyone complain if they got to keep all their spare milita BPOs? They can still re-sell them for ISK just like they intended, no interference with all those carefully crafted master plans.
@Tenchu-13: the number of my drug dealer is 0190-YOU-DIDNT-GET-MY-POINT. It doesn't matter, I wasn't looking to start a debate on this, I just asked for an official answer from CCP-Eterne. |

After buying a booster, it cannot be traded, it cannot be sold, it can't be used for anything other than being injected. Much the same as the days remaining in the implant queue, they can't be traded or sold. There was absolutely no difference in keeping that time in one form vs another, other than convenience if I happened to forget to inject a new booster after the old one expired. Until now...
Now I am told that one form will be refunded and the other one will not. At least in eve it gives you a warning telling you that, once you inject a booster, it cannot be removed without destroying it.
No type of boosters will be refunded, not the ones in your assets and not the ones already injected (it's stated in the Dev blog). No reason to be upset, we all have to use up the boosters that we already bought.

Sounds like plain pure envy.
Note that AUR is not real life cash. It is virtual currency bought with real life cash. Thru AUR and PLEX isk is also a virtual currency bought with real life cash.
Yes, I guess it does and it probably is to some extent. But my point was that the magnitude at which people would gain AUR is simply way out of proportion (maybe I should re-word my original post to that).
And there is the difference that similar opportunities in EVE arise out of the actions of other players on the in-game market, triggered by the changes made to the game. In this case however, it is a direct intervention by CCP. And they would be generating millions of AUR out of thin air, as opposed to EVE where every plex you buy on the market was paid in cash by another player (not to mention that there is no ISK to AUR transfer in DUST yet). |
