Originally by: Tommy Blue Pretty simple. If you want it to say 0 Aurum in your wallet, buy a pair of 1000 aurum boots and trash/sell the boots for isk.
and add another sale to CCP's NEX "success story"?
by handing out free AUR CCP makes sure that their :metrics: will show how big a success the NeX is and how much people like to use it...
... which would be no problem if we could rely on CCP not fooling itself - but from what we've seen so far it's much more likely that certain groups in CCP will take these "great" metrics and use them as an argument in favor of allocating more resources to the continued development of the NeX.
edit: also helps to prep the secondary market for NeX items (all the ppl looking to convert their AUR into sth useful, i.e. ISK) which helps to reduce the perception that NeX clothing has to be bought with RL money.

It's eventually going to go up to 5500 AUR. More than enough to get "whatever". _

I dunno, even though as Akita pointed out, it is surely to tank the market a little, you can always just convert the AUR into ISK and give CCP a nice .|.. on the way out of the NEX store can't you?

You know, actually those goggles are not bad on you, the monocle is simply ugly, i can't find 1 single char i like with it; you made a nice style, they fit nice on your character. You remind me of Borderlands though.
Lol...Borderlands...I can see the resemblance. I can see your point on the monocle, it's fugly on most characters, but on a few it looks incredibly appropriate. ______________________

Spank, you say that you do not wish to participate in the use of AUR. Well, you can just ignore the rewards, wishing to add an option to "opt out" is selfish and stupid.
So yes, CCP will take their time to program in a button in-game to "opt-out" or a web page, or even take a list of names and then expect to manage all of this just because YOU don't want to participate???
If this is the case, just give me a moment to pull out the red carpet for you, little princess.

You seem to have missed the part where I do not wish to support the NEX store through it's use.
Cashing out might make me a little ISK but at the price of supporting a development direction I do not wish to encourage.
Considering the bottle-neck in a lot of development is always put down to graphic/art resources, I would prefer they fix the game rather than give us more worthless clothes for our avatars.

Most rewards/gifts are redeemable. This will be directly transferred into our wallets.
I don't understand why you and others feel threatened by my stance on this issue. There is no need for personal slurs. ~~~

I don't understand why this would be a problem for you, if you never had any intention of using AUR, having it injected directly in your wallet shouldn't mean anything. You could have 1000, or even 100,000 AUR in that wallet, it wouldn't change anything if you don't use it, it's not like they gave you a direct shot of ISK that mixed in with your real hard earned ISK.
Our stance isn't any more aggressive than the tone you employed against the NEX marketing strategy and CCP indirectly as a result.
And I did use personal slurs because I mock your stance on the issue, I've no shame in admitting that.

So I got this ******ed Girl friend. Like for real. She can tell you the difference in price between 9.99 and 7.83 in a heartbeat, kinda like the rainman but she can't handle more than 3 digits. SO you ask her what the change will be from a ten dollar bill and she freezes like a dear in the headlights.
Whats this have to do with AUrum your about to troll? Arent you? Well not yet. Here's another Useless fact. I don't drink. Well for twenty years I been tellin "Red", yeah she's older but hot as an Irish lass is likely to be, that I don't care what she does but don't bring booze into my own house.
SO I invite her over for Barbq, that's meat cookin on a charcoal grill to all you foreigners , versus a pit like Hilmar cooks his sheep in. Yes he has a pile of Sheep bones with your names on it. Get on with it you say!!
Well Red shows up , plops down some lawn chairs, I'm cookn the meat and she's got lust in her eyes and I can see it. But past that twinkle, something draws my attention. NOw a thousand times I told her and here it is, Beer. Not just a can or some shapely girl bottle but a keg, Yeah you heard me but just like CCP, its a mini keg. Now I looked at the back of a trailer truck full one time and didn't steal it only cause I finally figured it wouldn't be enough. Now I look at this minikeg, its not enough to wet my whistle but it looms larger and larger till in my mind its as big as the whole back of a PIckup truck. Now this is What CCP is doing by pushing Aurum on us. Its a lot like that beer keg, its not enough but any pilot would drool over them classy monocles, They turn gold and silver trimmed the more you look at them. High powered with secret attributes too I bet.
So what to do, Do like I did. Spank her on the bottom and send her home.

Rife covert dev posting is rife covert dev posting.
I dont want your dirty filthy scam shoved down my throat just because I like your game.
Give me the option to redeem the AUR instead so I can chose to ignore it properly and wont have to look at the stupid stuff every time I open my wallet.
If you cant finance EVE the way you ve been doing before this dust/incarna hiatus, bury the damn thing instead. This is looking more and more like dragging the corpse through the streets, CCP.

Sweet, that's 3000 Aur that can rot away in my accounts in a few weeks... If I ever come back, I'll be rich! I'm sure my 40 bil isk will have become virtually worthless in another year....
This is of course assuming that all this stuff + Dust doesn't implode on CCP.

1. Wait for more free aurum*. 2. Buy something from NeX and sell it with isk. 3. Buy plex. 4. Enjoy your free game time.
(*)Works even better when aurum trading will be enabled. You can gather free AUR from your alt accounts and get free plex faster.
Eve is unreal.

Maybe they just really do not care what you have to say? I mean, you are arguing about imaginary clothing stores and moral principles after all.
CCP could do much worse to you than offer non-combat vanity items that you are not forced to pay for at any point in time under any circumstances and then giving you free AUR to buy a piece or two with.
I mean, I could kick you in the shins (ingame) once we have WiS and do more harm than that.

Hey I tried to ask a legitimate question and got called worthless, so not really concerned at this point or in this thread what you think or say.
Now, when I post in any of your other threads, all will be forgotten.
Pretty good deal I think.
Until then, I laugh at your moral debate about imaginary clothing and amuse myself at your expense.
Keep talking
