I truly doubt they will let you trade AUR to other players. However, when the game has a real economy so money is not just totally worthless, there would be no reason to disallow AUR only items.

Which is great because I have a completely worthless SEVER suit. No way in hell am I blowing 500,000 SP to get a free level 1 Logi suit. (Still annoyed about that)

can AUR be transfered in EVE? I forget. If so, then yes, if no, then no. THat said, you will be able to buy items with aur and sell them directly, so isn't that just as good?

Aurum will and should be never transferrable for various reasons.

If you can buy aurumn for isk, where would Dust get the real money from?

Don't think it will or should ever happen.

Why not?What are those various reasons?

Can't buy aurum for isk, just trade already purchased aurum to another player for isk.

Something involving IRL stuff oddly >< Taxes Governments the sorts.

I'm DONE with DUST for good and giving away all my stuff! Send me 10K AUR and I'll double it on the spot!

Done!! Just send me your playstation account password and i'll handle the transactions. You can trust me thoroughly because I am very honest religious person, trust in me and regret never.

In eve? also no.

In eve? also no.
However items bought with AUR can be sold for isk.

Havent seen it anywhere yet. Can I haz please? Trading isk for aur would be cool/no pay to win arguments.

Isn't it true that there is the potential for EVE pilots to indirectly pay their subscription via earned Isk?

If so, then there is already an established ratio of Isk:real-ú$Gé¼, and the introduction of Aurum trading could seriously screw up both economies as a result.

Of course, there might be the potential for this dilemma anyway. In which case, I will officially declare my intention to buy your boosters with isk, toxins, officer gear, whatever.

From the people buying the AUR. Once the AUR is purchased by a player for real money, why would CCP care which player actually spends it?

Dont know, but food of thought...

At what point does scams and stealing AUR become illegal? It's same as PSN store credits and any other store credit.

It doesn't. You're buying in game items (in this instance, AUR). Once you've purchased the AUR, it's up to you how you experience it's usage. If that experience involves trading it to someone else and getting "scammed," well, that's emergent gameplay as far as I'm concerned (and this is generally how CCP views it as well). As long as you're not losing that AUR to game bugs, glitches, and exploits, it's all part of the "game."

AUR itself isnt ingame ITEM.

edit:

And if you mean Aurum Tokens, then user must have first converted those.

That is my interpretation and by that I mean that AUR the one showing in your waller balance isn't transferrable.

By item i ment item in-game that can be traded/ looted/ destroyed. AUR tokens are ITEM in this sence, but once you convert it into AUR it is not.

So...wut you're saying is that it's your opinion, and no more valid without proof than the invisible spaghetti monster that ate the coal i was supposed to receive last christmas? Just wondering.

Emm... we seem to be amiss here.

AUR be it in DUST or EVE isn't item(in-game item) such as Militia Shotgun or Vexor. This I think we agree on? yes?

My interpretation was that if we agee on that above statement then AUR isn't item(in-game item), not until it's converted to some other form.

Just like you can't stick raw ISK into your cargo bay and haul it around and have it come spilling out when you get ganked, niether can you put raw AUR into a cargo hold. It is therefore, not an item.

AUR Tokens are worth 1000 AUR. AUR Tokens are items, and can be shipped about and dropped upon your death. Once remdeemed, AUR Tokens turn into 1000 AUR that is perfectly safe in your wallet until you spend it on something, just like ISK. However, once redeemed, AUR Tokens (and PLEX) cannot be turned back into an ingame item. They are forever now a liquid currency until you spend them on something.

Is there a difference between Aur and a militia shotgun in terms of recognition as in game items...no. I'm asking you to defend that assertion with proof.

I do recognize a difference between the in game currency (Aur) and a militia shotgun one time use asset.
Maybe if Aur was used for out of game items like t-shirts I'd agree but I'm hesitant.

The point of the thread was, can I please/should I be able to trade aur to other players.
Why can't I decide to purchase an elite pack and trade half the aur to my alt char for boosters?
If not, why not? You seem to be ok with the equivalent of a token in eve. seems like aur once used to me. This just allows that same transfer of aur, but without the extra burden of a token.

"When you purchase an AUR package"

When you buy an AUR pack, you get tokens. You can convert or sell the tokens, but you cannot sell AUR it'self, I don't see what it is your not understanding here?

* Characters can now transfer ISK directly between each other and to any corporation
* Directors can now transfer ISK from the corporation mercenary wallet to any player or corporation
