I thought the Merc Pack was supposted to reset when we went alpha ? I reckon the Aurum spend on dropssuits etc is going to be spend ?

Just had a look at the spreadsheet and I can't believe the decisions behind the ability to use different dropsuits.

Dropsuit Command should unlock:

Light

Medium

Heavy

THEN you specialise by race. As it stands after uprising you will see no diversity from match to match as players who want proto gear will only be able to spec into one suit.

Another problem with this is that the little guy gets the sharp end of the stick again. Players with 10mill + SP are going to have no problem getting into a proto suit and proto gear then stomping us as is the current situation.

You can't complain about both the lack of a reset for players who purchased merc packs after January and the high SP price of the new skills. If the SP is so high, then you wouldn't accept a reset anyway, and if the merc pack/Aur reset was so important to you, then you wouldn't be complaining about the couple months it's going to take just to get a few million more SP, because it would take a lot longer than that to get the 11 million you have now back after they reset it to 0.

Also 11 million SP unlocks any suit easily if you go directly into it. I'm not sure where you're getting 14 million from.

as i know, no, it will not.

Hey guys, a brief update. We will not be refunding any Militia BPOs, but rather returning them to your inventory.

A number of you brought up the very real possibility that people would get millions of AUR refunded because at one point they were selling for much less and after further consideration, we realized this would give a hugely unfair advantage to these people.

We hope everyone understands this decision.

What about for characters we don't use? Can I have it reset or will it be all three characters on that PSN?

I didn't buy multiple copies, but I dont use those characters and have 60,000-100,000 AUR tied up in them. I was looking forward to putting that to good use.

Seems like you guys could at least refund 1 copy of each BP per character.

I had big dreams of skilling up 3 characters, but realized I'd have to give up my wife and kids to do so.

So wait, you ARE going to skill up 3 characters?

Yes, the post that follows may sound like qq'ing! But I must assure people that I am not.

I just have big concerns about the claim that "we realized this would give a hugely unfair advantage to these people". Dust 514 has been promised to not be pay to win. IF you say that millions of AUR gives "a hugely unfair advantage", then you are saying that Dust 514 is pay to win.

Some people in the world are wealthy enough to easily purchase millions of AUR. To get 1 mil AUR is $500, which is for no doubt a few lucky-in-life Dust 514/EVE players easy to give up. Are you saying that these people are given "a hugely unfair advantage"? More precisely, a "hugely unfair advantage" that you are not willing to give to poorer players who happened to take a (very minimal) risk on a potential to get some of this fortune themselves that they can't match with real world funds?

I honestly don't mind the decision in general. I, like others, took the risk. If it pays off, I will be happy and gloat. If it doesn't, I've lost little. But the justification given here has very worrying implications.

I choose no reset

I keep my SP and ISK and everything else, im so happy

The "hugely unfair advantage" comes from this:

If you wanted to take advantage of the market and buy up BPOs before market prices went up, then good on you. However with the Aurum refund, many of these people would be getting millions of Aurum back (and yes, I mean millions).

Where as people who didn't do that or just bought what they intended to use, they would be getting back what they need to replace. Which I believe is what CCP intended.

Anyways, to boil it down, it would be if you and I purchased a merc pack. Only I get 19 million Aurum while you get only 40,000 Aurum.

Not really a pay to win scenario but rather a unbalanced reward for something that was meant to replace.
