Refusal to clarify makes you appear dishonest.

I disagree with your assessment that the post was ironic. You refuse to provide a reason why you think it so. There's a clearly a miscommunication here, which I am trying to resolve. If your aim in commenting wasn't to communicate, you might as well have just stayed quiet. If it was, the request for clarification is reasonable.

To clarify - you made a point of calling the other player out for making personal attacks by making a personal attack yourself. I guess it's not actually that ironic, but I did find it amusing

Actually, the irony is pretty obvious in that you criticise someone making personal attacks as an alternative to conversation while making personal attacks yourself.

Therein lies the miscommunication I was attempting to identify. I will rephrase my statement.


You're an idiot. You are so incapable of conversation that personal attacks are my only recourse, because I have so little faith in your ability to receive anything but, you total moron.

2. Be respectful toward others at all times.
The purpose of the DUST 514 forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of DUST 514. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.

3. Ranting is prohibited.
A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

You forgot the one about trolling, which will result in this entire terrible thread going down.

Bugger. I had that in originally, I have no idea why i left it out

The correct thing to boycott is spending money, not playing the game.

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

So they have guidelines, CCP can guide them to not over charge us. problem solved.

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.

Not only that, a good portion of your overpriced products come from the VAT that your government applies.

Yes. a good maybe 10% of the more than 50% price hike is because of tax.
