Dust514 is Marketed as a "Free to Play" (F2P) game. The only way to play Free is through ISK.

There is Only 1 currency method that allows you to play Dust according to the "Free to Play" model. Its Not like you gave players AUR or the Paid method to play.

I have played numerous F2P games and when the Company made the mistake they would not Punish it's playerbase and as a PR move would not even dare to put players in a Negative ability or Restrict players to play their game Freely. As a Positive PR move the company would admit their mistake and say enjoy the gift.

Not everyone who plays Dust visits CCP forums. Nor should they have too.

CCP neglected to use their own ingame launcher News section that they patched into Dust on Wed. May 22nd to inform ALL the Players who played Dust on May 28th and May 29th. As of today, May 30th, there is still No News update to inform the Players of CCP's own Mistake.

The "pop-up" in game "Hot-Fix" notice on Tuesday May 28th NEVER informed the playerbase about there being an ISK issue with the player getting more then should!!!!!!!!!!! The fix was done 2 days later and not immediately !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Players should never be Punished for CCP's Mistakes.

The company, CCP not the Players should be held Responsible for their own Mistakes.


It is time for Us the Playerbase to take to the vast Media sources we have access too. YES

When I call CCP, I will be asking for a FULL Monetary reimbursement for ALL the Merc Packs I have bought. I No longer want to be apart of this atrocity if this is how CCP treats it's Playerbase.

if it comes to this there will be a Class Action Lawsuit filed.


We will Not allow CCP to take advantage of Us the Players.

CCP is taking advantage of you? more like the people that are more than 10 mil in debt took advantage the game "exploiting" a situation that was obviously not on the level.

So if a bank mistakenly puts a bunch of money in your account you think you get to keep it? Fat chance. You all should have thr common sense to not spend tons and tons of isk that you didnt earn.

You guys just dont understant.

NOT EVERYBODY SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY, BUT THEY STILL IN NEGATIVE BECAUSE CCP DELETED MORE MONEY!

You are lucky if this new "mistake" dosnt touched you.

It is like saying I found money on the ground but I'm not guilty for spending it, the person that dropped it is guilty. Lame .

calling SOE thanks for the #

The QQ in this thread is just absolutely amazing, so much so I had to bump to give others a chance to enjoy it.

I didnt bother reading all the QQ yet.. my popcorns still popping

one point of noteworthy mention, CCP made a mistake by giving isk... PLAYER BASE made a mistake by not using their brain cell to process that they had more isk than they should.

my case, 153m ISK before downtime, 312 after downtime. i saw red flags from the char selection screen. others might not have had such major flags as mine. red flag 1: clearly wrong isk balance on char select screen
i got into game, checked skill tree, to see if i had gotten respec'd that morning, SP remained allocated, but isk was excessive. red flag 2: no respec, did they reimburse isk by mistake?
i then checked my assets to figure out why i had this isk. everythings still there. red flag 3: no market buy back
i checked my wallet to see if there were any event payout transactions, and the latest transaction entry still listed wallet balance at 153m. red flag 4: no wallet entry explaining it

if someone managed to go over 5m negative, and i feel i am being generous with this number, they are probably terrible at this game and should have noticed a red flag somewhere.
