Um, not really. CCP doesn't set the prices on PSN, Sony does. CCP can't dictate the price that Sony put up, but you CAN ask that CCP talk to Sony about it.

Or go straight to Sony about the price discrepancy.

Im an NZ gamer and I am a litte miffed about the prices but the only things I buy are the boosters if I feel like it. No need for me to buy the merc packs when the dont even give me what I want.

Do you have a law degree?

The boosters and what not are being sold through the playstation store, CCP does not control that only Sony does. You have no idea what goes into proving decisions, over sea merchant laws, or any other field that could legitimize this. Boycotting Dust woyld be the worst move since you would be punishing the wrong people. If anything, boycott the PSN.

I cannot believe that even in a free-to-play game where buying stuff with real money at all is entirely optional, someone is still whining about the price. As an Australian, I am ashamed for the immaturity on display here, and refuse to boycott DUST 514. Since, you know, it's free.

It's how It works. MS works the same way, I believe. They have "guidelines" as to what types of things cost on the store.

Don't play "what if". It's always grossly hyperbolised to the point of it being so unrealistic and annoying/

you are begging them to act now but yet you tried to get people to boycott the game? And you honestly think if ccp doesnt get a few players logging in it will hit them where it hurts? Man you are so dumb

Tell you what, even though Sony charges Australians more for this stuff, so does everybody else, and in comparison to what Apple, Xbox, or others might charge for example, it's still all cheap as hell. You could smoke a pack a day, drink a carton a of Crownies a fortnight, still eat well and afford to make regular DUST purchases on a Centrelink student income, and that's after paying for all your text books for uni, as well as rent, and includes maintaining permanent Xbox Live and EVE online subs. How do I know? Because that's what I do. DUST is the cheapest of them all, and it's not just the cheapest, it is legitimately cheap. Cheap like Crazy Clarks cheap.

The problem isn't with CCP, it's with the IT industry in general, as a whole. Boycotting DUST alone won't solve the problem. Hell, there's a parliamentary inquest currently underway that includes a summons of Microsoft, IBM, Apple, and various other IT corps over why they charge Australians so much more than anyone else. The evidence that's in so far is that they charge that much because we're willing to pay that much. So if you want to boycott, you need to boycott everything IT until they realise we won't pay that much again.

Unless you get your head around the fact that merely boycotting DUST will solve nothing, then it is quite immature.

If you were smart you would realise that ccp has no control of how much things go for on psn store they can try to write a letter to sony but honestly dont expect a drop in price to happen boycotting ccp when they have no control over the psn market is really the stupidest idea that i have ever heard on here

This is a fact, not a presumed theory. You can find out for yourself with some really rudimentary research. Try Google some time, I hear it works wonders for fact checking.

Your own quote, straight back at ya.

You guys are still posting in this thread? Its obvious that the op lost and he she or whatever knows it too posting in it more is just bumping it to the top

You're an idiot.

You are so incapable of conversation that personal attacks are all that are left, you total moron.

What part of this did not pass through your head?


CCP sets prices. Sony adjusts those prices based on localization, taxes, exchange rate etc.

What you just did was checkmate yourself. I honestly have no clue where you're going now.


Also, why don't you boycott the fact that AUS gamers pay the equivalent of $90 for new games anyways? It's not CCP's issue, its the area itself.

And that's what I have decided to do. Paid for and got some aurum before I new about the price difference now I have enough and won't be paying for anymore
