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. ~~~

Psh, I am using Lady Spank AUR to paint my Scorpion with a pink logo that says Spankelicious.
All the AUR should/are belong to me!

Last I checked, AUR isn't tradeable between characters.
CCP is so incompetent in handling MT/NeX that they've even managed to break the 'Can I haz your stuff' Eve meme.

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. ~~~

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.

I hadn't heard of this until now. The Eveisreal stuff is cringeworthy at best and downright misleading at worst, although that is marketing for you... --

You fail to understand what I am objecting to and have blatantly disregarded my intentions. Congratulations on being susceptible to psychological marketing techniques. ~~~

I agree, tbh wtf can you get with 1000 AUR other than the Mens "Gestapo" Boots which nobody can see at the minute anyway.
It's a shameless ploy by CCP to entice you to get your credit card out and boosts statistics.
The marketing department at CCP needs an overhaul tbh.

Hmm... question:
Are you just as susceptible if you rail in absolute opposition to a marketing technique? i.e. like a felon who cannot control his anger when provoked, are you easily controlled by contrapositives?
I find that most of the time, if I want to avoid being a target for one side or the other, I simply walk straight through the middle.
i.e. just because Bill Gates may or may not be an insane megalomaniac (for argument's sake), does not mean I should refuse to buy any Microsoft product in the world and buy only Apple instead, because then Steve Jobs wins whether he is the real megalomaniac or not.
Now, I am not saying it is irrational to believe that CCP is out to wage mental warfare with its subscriber base in order to milk more revenue out of them, but just asking... is it not also a position of weakness to outright deny any and all faculties from a source based solely on the view that it is all somehow universally conflicted?
By saying that the NEX store is intended to subvert you, are you saying that the graphics artists, storyboard writers, and every developer, shareholder, or market analyst involved had this sole purpose?
Just because some hole in the ground arse at Microsoft puts out some product to bend me over and empty my pockets does not mean I refuse to buy any and all Microsoft products, i.e. some of the NEX items are and will be ... fairly reasonable priced, but you refuse to buy any of them whatsoever, even when given free AUR?
I am really just curious, since you brought it up.

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. ~~~

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.
