The NEX store has allowed me to be able to see again. Once the right eye is available I will have proper vision, and it will stop me pointing gates and things like that.


This as well. Gogo fake eyes.

To reiterate my earlier comment on an identical thread: "Those buggers gave you free things! FOR SHAME."

Plus this free aur let me buy a skirt, and it is just dandy.

This. It's free AUR, you didn't have to do anything but be subscribed to get it, so why are you complaining?

Don't see the problem here.

You don't want the free AUR, ignore it. Problem solved.
Because he's against the idea on principle?

If you were given a chunk of stock in ChildMeatBurgers Inc — Your Happy Local Toddler Abattoir, would you complain about being associated with this… ehm… dubious enterprise, even though you were given it for free? Wouldn't you also rather see the whole business burned to the ground?

Exaggerated example is exaggerated, but exaggerations are helpful as examples.



i like children, but i couldnt eat a whole one. so a burger would work.

so when can we trasnfer this aur stuff? i have 42.5k of this stuff clogging up my accounts and as much as i hate the store and the idea behind it. i would spend it if i could pile it up

OMG when can i get a pic here

I'll give you credit for using such an example given my pro-animal right's stance (EDIT: Guessing that what you were hinting at, misread first time). But I think they're very different. If ChildMeatBurgers Inc gave me free money, which is what essentially what AUR is from CCP, then I wouldn't complain about being given the free cash. I'd complain about the business and their practices.

Although they're two very different enterprises I can kind of see now what you're all trying to get at now. I still think it's a bit of a worthless discussion though. Kind of distracts us from some of the bigger issues.

If they have a top hat or a black fedora I might be tempted to spend my free Aur. Otherwise, I am going to wait until people start running out of the free Aur, buy some junk and sell it to some sucker.

Free ISK for me and one loser with their Barbie doll in a space game; we both are happy.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

I'll save my free Aur until I can buy and use female underwear.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

I just want a hat.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

You could cancel your account. That would make the nasty aurum go away and I'm sure you (and the rest of us) would feel much better for it.

I wish i had time in my day to rant about aurum, but instead i used it and got goggles and my odin synthetic eye (silver)

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

Too bad you can't transfer it between the accounts, would have had enough for a monocle otherwise.

CCP need to release the rest of the items I need for Zeta Gundam Cosplaying in Stations. AUR transfers between accounts would be an additional help.
