ISK, heh, almost meaningless currency... Like the Yen.
Oh yay, I got 20,000,000,000,000,000,000 Yen! Oh, it's only worth $3 US.
Seriously, unless you donated mass amounts of ISK to your corp, how could you possibly spend that much in two days? Anybody who went negative from this deserves the penalty from not keeping up with what is going on in the game. |

You woke up with a magical 100 million isk, and then donated 150 million to corp wallet, and you're surprised you went negative?
You knowingly donated all that in an attempt to exploit the accidental cash infusion and you know it. Have your corp give you that dirty money back and go on playing like normal.
Come on dude, you know you deserve what happened to you. |

I had 160 Million doubled to about 380 Million Isk.
And you know what I didn't need to spend it straight away because if I learnt anything from my 3 weeks in EVE its that you never drop your money on anything until you know its exactly what you needs and you know you wont get screwed over.
I mean who spends 200+ million ISK on anything? ever heard of moderation guys? |

So basically you got +- 141m on equipment sitting around looking funny (thats around 805 sets of my type of Decked out Proto suit, witch is around 67 days of playtime at my KD ratio) , why dont you put that to use and make back the ISK you tried to scam?

no thx, they can keep the isk. I've got my gear and for the next few weeks I get to have some bpo fun and not care about it. I've missed the thrill of suicide locus's and over cooking to make a sniper scratch their head. Maybe by time I'm positive again, I'll of reached my goal of lowering my total kdr to 0.5 and I'll get to play in matches more my skill level when I'm willing to buy equipment again. |

Hello.
To make a mistake is a human thing and most of the time this is acceptable, as long as it can be corrected. However, to rectify problems by making people negative ISK balances is not only morally wrong but bad for business.
People understand mistakes but to "shaft them" to "put things right" is not only the wrong way of doing it but a stupid move as they will make two fingered gestures and leave the game. Let's face it - some people don't read forum notices and will just think that they were being rewarded for their participation in testing the game/beta version and so on.
One example of a very disgruntled player was today as one of our best players in the NOVA TECH MARINES corp. He has left DUST514 and will probably leave EVE ONLINE too as he says he has "had enough of CCP's stupidity and bundling of "putting things right" meaning that the players of the game end up suffering somehow very badly. (His opinion - not mine!!). So, CCP has not only lost a DUST player but an EVE online player too. There will be many more cases like this to come !
ISK has no real value outside of DUST514, unlike AURUM, so I do not understand what all the fuss is about. If they had left things alone and had not tried to alter ISK balances, everyone would be happy and maybe a lot of other new players would be joining in the DUST game or possibly signing up to EVE online too. Which in turn, CCP would benefit from a growing amount of players spending their money on AURUM items and seeing a cash return on their ISK generosity anyway. An increase in ISK balances will also give new players encouragement to play the game too.
Whatever your opinion is, CCP have messed up big style by getting on the wrong side of their players and making them very angry. THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO BUSINESS.
Alternative ways could be implemented and if the issue in NOT resolved in a fair and reasonable manner, CCP will suffer in the end by losing a lot of its players to other games. CCP don't forget Bungie's "DESTINY" is close to being released soon - I hope you have learned a lesson from this indident. |

CCP did not take your ISK. It wasn't your ISK to spend, but you spent it anyway. Boo hoo.
Also, if you read any of the info the CCP put out, you would know that you can already petition CCP for a return of the unearned ISK you spent, in exchange for the items you bought with it. Don't be surprised if you end up negative on equipment as a result though.

You have to do something stupid in Eve, just like Dust, to make your wallet go negative. For instance, if you get caught bot mining, you will have your unearned ISK removed, and assets as well. Just like Dust.

An increase in ISK balances will also give new players encouragement to play the game too.
Whatever your opinion is, CCP have messed up big style by getting on the wrong side of their players and making them very angry. THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO BUSINESS.
Alternative ways could be implemented and if the issue in NOT resolved in a fair and reasonable manner, CCP will suffer in the end by losing a lot of its players to other games. CCP don't forget Bungie's "DESTINY" is close to being released soon - I hope you have learned a lesson from this indident.
I think you used every logical fallacy there is in your post. Here is a link to the Purdue online writing lab. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/659/03/ |

To make a mistake is a human thing and most of the time this is acceptable, as long as it can be corrected. However, to rectify problems by making people negative ISK balances is not only morally wrong but bad for business.
People understand mistakes but to "shaft them" to "put things right" is not only the wrong way of doing it but a stupid move as they will make two fingered gestures and leave the game. Let's face it - some people don't read forum notices and will just think that they were being rewarded for their participation in testing the game/beta version and so on.
One example of a very disgruntled player was today as one of our best players in the NOVA TECH MARINES corp. He has left DUST514 and will probably leave EVE ONLINE too as he says he has "had enough of CCP's stupidity and bundling of "putting things right" meaning that the players of the game end up suffering somehow very badly. (His opinion - not mine!!). So, CCP has not only lost a DUST player but an EVE online player too. There will be many more cases like this to come !
ISK has no real value outside of DUST514, unlike AURUM, so I do not understand what all the fuss is about. If they had left things alone and had not tried to alter ISK balances, everyone would be happy and maybe a lot of other new players would be joining in the DUST game or possibly signing up to EVE online too. Which in turn, CCP would benefit from a growing amount of players spending their money on AURUM items and seeing a cash return on their ISK generosity anyway. An increase in ISK balances will also give new players encouragement to play the game too.

You could've just saved on your keyboard's wear and tear by typing the following:
ABLOOBLOOOO NEGATIVE WALLET CCP SUX DUST IS DYING AND SO IS EVE TOO
No extra charge, my good sir.
