maybe, because everyone in here is impatient like a child...



Fair enough Hamar, I can actually agree with that statement. I for one could care less about Aurum as I have no use for vaniety items. I am simply trying to point out how CCP seems to keep mistreating their customers and insulting their intelligence. Albeit I will admit that a simple read of the forums does reveal plenty of immature, impatient and generally childish behaviour. So I can understand how CCP may misjudge the character of many players.

My theory with how fast the last thing was being unlocked. They might just give us both of them at once. Did think it cant be hard to deposit some simple aurum into our accounts, but suppose all the player base has to be taken into account or so. Maybe they will just skip the third and give 3&4 at once. Maybe by next week even.


Course if it takes more time to recieve precious aurum. Have to go to the back alleys to get my fix.

Unfortunately this is exactly the kind of thing that CCP falls short on. Communicating with us, the paying customer. There is clearly some sort of issue with the Aurum reward, and all we get are vague and incoherent statements about an announcement coming soon. CCP, try for once being up front with us, if there is an issue say that and keep us up dated on the issue resolution.

You'll find out that more players are willing to make allowances for issues IF you keep us updated with the situation. This is why people get frustrated with CCP, time an time again they treat us like children and keep us in the dark while our money fuels their company.


Oh, a soapbox hopping fantic shouting the "sky is falling!"

Last I checked, we just got the second aur award a few weeks ago. I am pretty sure CCP is really busy at the moment and not really in the loop for what amounts to basicly advertising for the nex store to see where the current race is. I mean, CCP Zymurgist just found out his father is Hilmar who has come back from the darkside, the whiney forum rebels got plans to defeat the capital ships, the big nullsec alliances now have to install 2 meter wide thermal vents on their super caps cause they now have to rely on lesser ships to defend against those explotive holes, and this new guy CCP Phantom may bring balance back to the Forcums . Yeah, CCP is pretty busy at the moment with the amount of work they just ramped up to from Hilmar's heartbreaking "I am sorry" speech and have a very short deadline for winter expansion.

Oh, BTW your entire point is moot about saying CCP lacking the ability to keep the community updated is mainly about NeX and micro transactions + free gifts they don't have to give out. I mean, how many people really care right now about buying boots you can't see and the one room your stuck in means you cannot show off your bling. Oh, you have such a foundation to complain about CCP not announcing to the community for a half finished product so far.

were i to guess, i'd say ccp is rolling out some more vanity schtuff for their nex store.

what better way to give some free aur and then get it out of circulation asap?

but meh, what do i know?

Can we just ask you to scrap NEX instead and bring accessories production into player hands ?

Seriously if anyone would want to buy a rare expensive accessory he would buy PLEX and exchange it for isk. There is absolutely no reason for NEX.

Things that aren't likely to happen.

Yeah I hate the idea of CCP making money from the NeX store. They might be able to lower the subscription price if they got enough from NeX. As if that'll happen, amirite?

You mean instead of possibly raising the subscription price?^^

Personally the idea was good, the ones who wanted the items could support CCP by purchasing NEX items, no one was forced to do it, despite a lot of people screaming about "gold-ammo".

There is also little point in giving free Aurum now, most people who wanted a particular item already have it. 400-something millions might seem like a lot for a new player but it is not all that much for a veteran. Also the items that were promised month and were already added to the market are still not available in the NEX.

....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced.

Can you reverse redeem AUR back into a plex?

Cause I could use a free plex for each of the accounts Cool

This garbage is just the worst kind of publicity stunt:
EVE Online game community unlocks $1.75M of virtual goods as contest winners are announced!

Shocked

Scam.

Whatever "dev" it was that removed the pod squish sound probably never even logged into the game.

Hmm....that implies that he was talking about the current week....i.e LAST WEEK. Shame on you CCP Navigator, if you can't say for certain, then perhaps you were better off promising us nothing at all.....look at all the eager little beavers waiting for their free imaginary money. It's kind of like waving a chocolate bar over the head of a fat kid.
