Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 17:37:00 - [1] On Friday, all active accounts will be 'awarded' 1000 AUR. I recognise this as nothing but a cheap marketing trick intent on coercing the player-base into using a controversial game feature. While the MT store itself does not offend me, I wish only to ignore it. Implying that 1000 Aurum I can do nothing with without topping-up, and thus facilitating the NEX store, leading to statistics implying success of that service, is nothing but a dirty trick and an insult. I wish for an option to opt out on all my accounts. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 17:48:00 - [2] If I could transfer my Aurum I would send it to an alt and biomass them after sending a petition to CCP stating my disgust at their unethical treatment of the players. Any other use would support their NEX store in terms of statistics. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 17:52:00 - [3] Originally by: Potamus Jenkins so wait, nothing in the store actually costs 1000 aur? I don't care how much any of that crap costs. I do not wish to support it. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 17:56:00 - [4] Originally by: Tommy Blue If you dont want it, dont ****ing use it. 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. Its like you are saying you dont want any [insert any currency that is not accepted in your country]. You are not just going to throw your money away. You can convert it into something useful (aka isk), or you can store it in a piggy bank until you want to use it. Get over it. You fail to understand what I am objecting to and have blatantly disregarded my intentions. Congratulations on being susceptible to psychological marketing techniques. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 18:09:00 - [5] Your Apple/MS analogy doesn't apply here and I never said that I objected to the NEX store, merely that I wish not to participate in it's use. Maybe you should try reading the thread properly before typing out a load of worthless nonsense. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 18:36:00 - [6] Originally by: Mendolus Quote: Initially, you will not be able to transfer Aurum to other players. This is part of our initial security procedures rather than part of our design for this system. Once well established, you will be able to transfer Aurum to other players. You can also, or sell your Noble Exchange goods on the market for ISK. Source I know this already. It doesn't diminish the cheapness of this so called award. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 18:45:00 - [7] Edited by: Lady Spank on 27/07/2011 18:47:16 Originally by: Mendolus 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 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. Originally by: Nerodon 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. 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. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 20:18:00 - [8] Originally by: Bodrul just buy something stupid that costs 1000 and sell it for isk sorted Thanks for not bothering to read before posting. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 20:41:00 - [9] Originally by: Grey Stormshadow 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. Another worthless post from someone that can't read a thread before hitting reply ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 20:53:00 - [10] Mendolus, if people didn't care they wouldn't post. Your gleeful attempts to troll this thread and irritate me are puerile and worthless. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 20:59:00 - [11] Originally by: UglyRobot Retail stores,credit card companies,hell even Xbox live does these kinds of things. It's not a dirty trick, it's just marketing. But even with this marketing there is still a lack of any thing worth buying for a small number of pixels. That's just my opinion anyway. Technically all marketing is morally corrupt. The technique employed by CCP in this instance is more reprehensible than usual. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.27 22:58:00 - [12] Originally by: Adonis Peverell Ok, seriously folks, can someone actually explain to me exactly how the NEX store is bad for EVE? Some nicely wrapped concrete arguments that it'll hurt the game somehow? That is off-topic. Perhaps you should make a thread to discuss this or read any of the old threads on that subject which already exist. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.28 03:08:00 - [13] Originally by: Jones Bones Invest in Goggles! Ze do...something? Wanna live? Get a shiv. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.28 20:21:00 - [14] Originally by: Mendolus In the end, you are still spending hours and days of your life waging a moral war on words over imaginary clothing in an imaginary video game, meanwhile I go to sleep perfectly content at night knowing that there are in fact, many more things in this world to concern myself with Thread statistics Mendolus : 17 posts (9,2% of all posts in thread.) You are the one posting the most about this, although you are still woefully off-topic and naive. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.28 22:15:00 - [15] Originally by: Vlori Edited by: Vlori on 28/07/2011 21:52:09 Confirming I will receive Dani's Aurimssies I am doomed Unfortunately, the character that is force-fed this 'gift' is the one with the highest skill-points. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.29 15:27:00 - [16] Originally by: Quorra Serra GJ best troll post in a while, so much attention It's a genuine objection but It's certainly brought some cry-babies out of the woodwork to try and disrupt the discussion. I don't even see what is so offensive about my suggestion. I can only presume people are happy to be controlled by the media. ~~~

I don't even see what is so offensive about my suggestion. I can only presume people are happy to be controlled by the media. Most delusional you are. I bet there are market analysts right now banking on your blind kneejerk reaction so they can steer you towards their product and away from the competition. Analyst: I bet if we put out freebies but make them optional or give the appearance that we truly care, our competition will put out freebies and make them automatically delivered to every customer to beat us, then they will all turn and come use our product since we're obviously the better company that does not try to manipulate them! Emperor: Excellent, excellent. /wrings hands together slowly, red glint in eye. You are the most tedious and persistent troll in this thread but just to oblige you for a second. What other product or service am I being tricked into by objecting to 'free' Aurum. ~~~

What other product or service am I being tricked into by objecting to 'free' Aurum. Ever notice how Microsoft comes out with a really ****ty operating system that stirs up a metric ton of controversy for twelve months before they announce a new amazing operation system that will save the day? Think about it. Thanks for being incapable of answering a simple question therefore proving your worthlessness in this discussion. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.29 16:43:00 - [19] Originally by: StillBorn CrackBaby A meaningless excercise by a bunch of melodramatic whiners. "I'm gonna petition a GM to remove my Aurum". Absolutely childish... Sure m8, and there is nothing childish about trolling on a coward alt called "Stillborn Crackbaby" is there. ~~~
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2011.07.29 17:06:00 - [20] No. You answered nothing, fail to address the actual concern of this topic and are grasping desperately to appear edgy and more intelligent. In short, you are a blatantly incompetent troll and I have proved consistently that you are full of crap and have nothing to contribute to the discussion. This is the last time I even acknowledge your presence here since you have nothing worthwhile to add. The topic may as well be locked since an answer has been given by CCP but crybabies like you insist on hurf-durfing about something unrelated and keeping the topic alive. Feel free to continue spewing verbal diarhoeea, I will not read any more of your crap. ~~~
