According to my calculations I made last night ill be getting 19,376,000 Aurum from my stockpiled militia BPO.

Cool.

You don't need many to make a killing: BPOs went from 20-30 AUR to 5,000 to 20,000 AUR. That's right, their prices increased 200-fold or more.

here's the thing-

Let's say you bought a sevr logistics BPO for 4800. Now CCP gives you 19800 for it. a profit of 15K rite!?

nice.. but if you want to buy a sevr to replace the refunded one.. it's 19800. so you actually made zero.

no biggie right? You'll just use it to buy other things.. but oops! All the prices increased with the sevr logo suit... so really, the 19m isk you now have is actually worth the same as you initially had when comparing AUR buying power before and post uprising.

Inflation is going to kill your dreams of becoming rich off an AUR refund.

Why in the heck would you buy that many copies of infinite use gear? Are you sure you don't mean 190K but added an extra few zeros? Why did you buy more than one BPO of each type of item/gear?

It's not so much CCP losing money because odds are a lot of people that benefit from this would never purchase the equivalent amount of AUR anyway. Since AUR isn't actually a real thing CCP's only loss is the opportunity of additional sales. It's more about the ridiculous advantage this gives to some players over others.

Interesting to see how this plays out but I'm still banking on it not being what people think.
