Delta 749 Kestrel Reconnaissance 135	Posted - 2013.05.30 13:26:00 - [1] - Quote Did it seriously not cross your mind to wonder where all that extra isk came from in the first place, or to check the forum to find out, or ask someone in game what was going on, or even that it might be a bad idea to spend all of it in one go? Follow up question How do you feel knowing others like myself werent dumb enough to go throwing a bunch of isk around still have bank accounts in the positive while you have to dig out of the negatives?
DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 3343	Posted - 2013.05.30 13:27:00 - [2] - Quote My email said all my ISK would be refunded to me. I signed on and was back at the ISK amount I was at when Uprising launched -100 million ISK and damn proud of it. This game Is A Joke.

Funny, mine said all isk spent on skill books would be refunded and I knew for damn sure I didnt spend 3x the amount of isk I had on hand on skill books Your reading comprehension Is A Joke

" So, you honestly thought that they were just going to give back all the ISK that you had spent on consumables to date, in addition to what you spent on Skill Books? So, basically, you thought that everything that you'd spent ISK on up until now would have essentially been free, and that didn't seem just a little bit ... generous? It never once occurred to you that, taken in the context of a SKILL RESPEC, that they were probably referring specifically to ONLY the ISK spent to obtain the SKILLS that were being respecced? No offence but, to me at least, this just seems that you were being either incredibly naive, or intentionally ignorant.

No actually I just don't give a ****, but you're welcome to your opinion. I actually just thought it had to do with the fact that dropships are a joke, and they were going to give us a hand. Silly me, they haven't done that once in over a year, why start now, right CCP? I'm -100 million ISK and will STILL have more ISK than most of the nubs that play this game in no time, not worried in the least. I just find it hilarious. Watching this train wreck for a year now has been painfully amusing.
Rannici Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 60	Posted - 2013.05.30 13:53:00 - [10] - Quote so. i got 400 million bonus isk yesterday. i checked the forums, i asked some people. there was no relevant explanation for it. bank error in my favor? yes please. so i spent a large portion of it. long before ccp issued a message saying 'whoops, my bad, we're stupid, please don't spend that isk we gave you'. this is so unfathomably irresponsible and dumb on ccp's part. the fact that anyone is negative right now is a testament to the failure and incompetence of their developers.

Okay, that's not even a reason. If you're going for humor, then that's fine, but come on.

Apparently, I'm* not the one playing stupid. I got my requested skill respec on Tuesday and, once I had reallocated my skill points, I had an excessive amount of ISK left over. NOT being stupid, I realized that there was no possible way that the refunded Skill Books could possibly account for all that extra cash, so I did the NOT-stupid thing, and didn't spend it. What I find hilarious is all the people who did "play stupid" by thinking they could take advantage of this obviously erroneous winfall, and got burned for it.

What, that the email I received said all ISK would be refunded, right after they removed assets and refunded ISK, and then I was returned to my initial amount of ISK (130 Million, lol fail ships) It doesn't matter to me, this game is in a hilariously bad state right now, it's just plain boring. I couldn't care less, I'm just calling out CCP's complete lack of transparency and inability to properly word an email, is all. I bought 500 of my basic, advanced, and prototype suits knowing full well that CCP wouldn't keep their word. As I said, even at -100 million ISK I'm far better off than at least 70% of this games population, and I'll earn that back in a quarter of the time it takes most to earn half that

I'm going to safely say that at least 80% still have positive ISK, you're among the bottom 3%. 100 million and 'above 70%' lol really? Nope. Enjoy your so proclaimed 'quick journey' back to zero. You deserve it scrub, and stop pretending that you got out well on it.

Unlike those 70%, I'm fit for a very long time. 1,500 of my suits, along with my free suits that I STILL crush in? U mad bro?
DS 10 G I A N T EoN. 340	Posted - 2013.05.30 14:09:00 - [17] - Quote I spent about 90 mil on 1000 of my primary fits before any announcement was made. Was that dumb? Probably. It's all good though because I'm only -28 mil and have 2000 fittings to work with. I normally only die 3 times or less, so those 2000 fits should last about 700 games. 700 games at 200k ISK per game is 140 mil ISK, not including crazy ISK income from 2-3 PC battles per day. Moral of the story - I ain't even mad.

The most I've heard anyone ever earn from a match is 500,000 ISK. And ASSUMING that you earn 500k EVERY SINGLE GAME, you have a maximum of 200 games to get back to zero. Again, assuming you get 500k. The more likely figure is 100-200k, in which case it is going to be more like 1000 games. Have fun re-doing the grind.

Because you've got to complete a MINIMUM of 200 (more around 750-100) games before you can purchase anything new. By then new patches will come out and new weapons will be around, but you will still be dangling near the -25 million mark while everyone plays with new kit. Don't try to pretend you don't regret it, you are depending on the fact that you think you won't run out of kit, and that you think you have the patience to run 1000 games without wanting to change playstyle.

Dude. I've been playing for a year. I have played every single play style (except LRs and the new weapons), fairly extensively at that. Trust me bro.

After the 50 mark for games played without having any new stuff, you will desperately seek to try out the lasers, scrambler rifle and others. It is natural, you will get sick of grinding for a pointless reason, heck you will probably even lose most of the dropsuits by the time you get back up. And that will take absolutely ages, see you in 6 months when you're back on the level.

Either way, I'd say that your actions in this situation are nothing to be proud of.

I don't know about you, but I don't spend millions of ISk on gear I'm not going to use. I've played as a heavy since day one. I have 1,000 FG fits and another 1,000 HMG fits, plus extra gear from before the respec.

Don't threaten me with the whole self-compliment thing. I've been here since the beginning of the closed beta and I've been on EVE for almost 6 years, I know how stuff works, and you WILL get bored. For me, an odd 4 months of the same old AR made me as bored as heck, and for me even just a single month of the Harbinger made me want to get a Battleship.

Knowing that CCP has a habit of screwing the pooch ::cough cough:: Uprising ::cough cough:: I expected my ISK to not be refunded as claimed. And here I am. Not having to worry about refitting for a very, very long time.
