When I bought my 20k AUR Raven BPO, I thought we would get a full AUR refund for the release.

Since this is 'the last update' until the release, views on this look grim...

So what, am I stuck with this 20k AUR dropsuit which I don't need or want? Or am I going to get a fair opportunity to spend my AUR on something more valuable to me???

Yup, accept the upcoming merc pack refund option and take the full character reset.

Soon you will get the choice to choose a full refund to get all your Aur back... Which will make you start from the bottom... Meaning your skills will be wiped.... So when that date comes choose wisely....

PS. I dont feel like giving you a link to one of the dev blogs that say it... So check the dev blogs on the main website

There will be a secondary player controlled market in the near future which will allow you to sell aurum items for ISK to other players. It will take a long time because it's a delicate process when you are connecting a new economy of DUST to a ten year old economy of Eve Online.

Would I be able to sell it for Aurum?

You bought dropsuit. You havve the dropsuit. I don't see the problem. They said all vanity dropsuits will stay yours because you bought them for yourself.

But you better send email to support instead of making forum thread. Forum threads about refunds are useless.

Here's the link to the Dev Post: https://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/05/uprising-skill-point-re-spec-details/

However, the refund only applies to Merc packs and Aurum packs purchased BEFORE January 22nd. So if you bought them after that, you won't get a refund. If you're lucky, CCP will also include some sort of way of knowing how much you can expect back or if you can expect anything at all.

If I am able to sell the Aurum suits for ISK in the future or able to display them in my quarters I'll be happy.

I think the information in that link has changed from what it first said. Now it says that particular BPO's will not be reimbursed, whereas previously I believe it did not say that. As you can see from this post, which was made while the servers were down for patch, this represents a change in what was previously stated.

The merc pack/aurum pack before Jan 22nd is another, unrelated issue/offer.

I was upset about this at first as well, until I was informed of something I didn't know by some corp mates. Apparently one weekend during closed beta, the Valor, Sever, and Raven were all given away as a part of a Merc Pack. So because of this, it fits the stipulation set on the dev blog that we would not get refunded items that were part of the Merc Pack. I think it's crap since I bought my Sever wayyyy after this but oh well. I decided to skill into Minmatar Logis instead of Caldari and am enjoying the extra speed. Also the proto Minmatar Medium Frame is nice with the 5 high slots and high speed. If we get refunded on it, I will still rejoice, but I don't see it happening.

I don't want a refund of money for the stuff, I just want my AUR reset...

Zombie Supreme: (From another post)

OK first you tell us we will be getting back the Aur we spent on BPO's then you change your mind? Militia BPO OK whatever they can still be used with spending skill points. Dropsuits however are a different story.

I spent full price (About $10 in AUR) for 1 Logi Sever Suit about 2 months ago, because the suit was good forever, and cheap to spec into. Now I have a useless $10 BPO sitting in my inventory unless I want to spend 1.9mil SP specing into a racial suit that I don't want or like. NTM, I have always been a tanker first and I don't have 1.9mil extra SP lying around.

I understand some people bought alot of these suits when they were 30 aur, I wish I was playing and bought it when it was that cheap BC then I wouldn't care.

There are many easy fixes for this that can keep everyone happy and prevent the people who took advantage and bought alot of them for 30 Aur and are now looking to rake in the AUR. You can do any 1 of the following.

1. You can refund only 1 suit per person, because no one needs to have bought more than 1 suit per merc.
2. You can check your logs which you obviously keep and refund the original purchase price.
3. You can make the Sever suit like the dragonfly suit and require no skills to use.

Anyone of these solutions should be relatively simple, and fair. Something needs to be done about this, because I and 98% of people that own that suit feel ripped off.

CCP said they would refund it, and then during patch downtime they changed their mind. That, I take it, is his problem.

As per the merc pack agreement ' refund on reset' therefore if you want your aurum reset you have to opt for the character wipe

They changed their minds about the aurum assets because of all the big heads bragging about making 19mil aurum on respec, even though they were blowing hot air to show off.
If people were to make 19mil aurum then no one would buy aurum and ccp would not be getting paid. So a justified decision by ccp.

Do not expect to be happy.

It is easier that way.

This was not the reason they chose not to refund the BPOs. They did it because of a few people taking advantage and buying a bunch of them to sell off for isk in the future. It turns out they were going to make a killing in AUR.

I don't really care how CCP fixes it, but I have 40,000 - 80,000 AUR tied up in suits that I can't/won't use.

Except the Merc Pack agreement that's actually under dispute says "at every reset AND for the commercial release", which distinctly separates the commercial release from a reset.
