CCP, would it be possible to include a donate to charity button in the NeX store so those that do not want this can support a charity with it
Thanks
K
What are charities going to do with AUR? It's not money. You can buy it with money. That doesn't make it worth that money.

And ISK is ?
Wake up my friend and smell the coffee
ISK isn't money. You can't sell it for money. (Well, you can RMT... but that's another story).
If I say "Hi, I made this cool new thing which I sell for 1000 dollars each, it's called an asmdollar, but you can't ocnvert them back", and give everyone 1000 free ones, I can't make this donate thing... Why? People don't want to buy them from me,a nd even if they do, it's nthing different from me just creating new ones.
Now, if CCP allowed what happens with SLL to happen, then this'd be a different story.
(As in, CRASH ALL THE MARKETS!1!!11!!SHIFT1!!!)
TL;DR: Just because you try sell something for something, doesn't mean you as much as you want to others for the same value. ESPECIALLY IF YOU CONTROL THE SUPPLY!...
CCP doing this = them giving away money for free by losing out on GTC money. Got that? Why would they do that? They paid/lost nothign to make that AUR.
edit: I don't think I'm explaining this very well, am I....

But why would they do this when they can just keep on doing what they do? Selling PLEX?
Even more so, how do they go about selling this AUR? When people buy AUR from them, it's CREATED. They don't need the 1000 they gave you.
Why would they choose to lose money?
Give me a good reason CCP would give GTC money away.

AUR is a PLEX sink disguised as a currency. It is designed to boost the demand for PLEX, thus raising PLEX prices and therefore boosting PLEX creation as a new price equilibrium is reached (meaning more people will be paying RL $$ to get ahead, because it will be more tempting).
So no, it won't ever be used for charity, and I recommend just pretending NeX and AUR doesn't exist 
This man speaks the truth!
