I am not happy about this. I have over 120 days of injected boosters (which I have not already gained any SP from) that will apparently not be refunded. Why on earth would I want 50% booster when you now have 100% boosters?. Yes I can buy the new Omega boosters and they will be added to the front of the queue, but this means that the 120 days worth of boosters already injected will NEVER be used!!!!!
The only way to use the booster I already have is to actually gain less SP for three months?????? Seriously, WTF??? |

My personal policy is to never buy or inject more than a month's worth of anything when a game is in beta just to avoid these kinds of issues.
While I understand your point, and it certainly is a valid one, you could just as easily say "I don't buy stuff with real money in beta just to avoid this kind of issue." or "I don't buy items with ISK in beta just to avoid this kind of issue" or even "I don't participate in betas just to avoid these kinds of issues".
I think that whether or not the booster has been injected or not is a rather arbitrary distinction. I realise that there must be a line drawn to avoid refunding something that's value has already been consumed, for example the extra SP gained from having had the booster active has provided clear value that I will retain after the SP reset and that value should certainly not be refunded.
But the boosters that contribute to the days remaining have not had their value consumed, they have in fact had their value decreased as they are no longer the most valuable use of of that implant slot. They do in fact impose a significant opportunity cost.
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.
I find it very frustrating that the very kind of player that CCP wants for this game, those that are willing to spend money and invest themselves long term, are the ones who are going to get the least value out of their investments. |

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.
Indeed you are correct, looks like i misread the part about UVT's being refunded and thought it referred to all boosters.
Guess i'm an idiot then...
