Will we be able to give our DUST characters our EvE Aurum? Can we give our EvE Aurum tokens to our DUST toons? ...anyone know?

More importantly, can DUST soldiers wear monocles on the battlefield? Cool

It would be a risky move if allowed. Since Aur can be bought with ingame money, and if transferable would allow people to beef up groups in Dust quite easily.

So? If it's not pay to win as CCP said, what would it matter? There's nothing Aurum can buy you that ISK can't... right? I'm going to buy a PS3 today, so that's why I ask.

Dust connects to EvE ,so EvE is indirectly pay to win now?

Doesn't make any difference. You'll be able to beef groups up just as well with ISK (and CCP doesn't care — the AUR comes from real money regardless).

The only real question is if AUR will cost the same amount in the two games or if they manage to screw that part up. P

Uh... no. Nothing is pay to win I'm just wondering if I can give AUR tokens to my DUST char. AUR Tokens are cheap as hell. 1 PLEX = 3500 AUR but I just got 31 x 500 AUR Tokens for a bil so that's more than half off AUR. Just trying to think ahead a bit here...

Guess it was a misunderstanding on my part on how the economic system works in Dust. My bad.

Well some things in Dust are only available for AUR, however there is the potential for reselling for ISK.

Better yet you needto talk CCP into making sling shots & catapults so you can bury your foes in Veldspar on the fields (or better yet orbit stikes with Veldspar asteroids Smile )
