Sony makes their income off of DUST by getting a percentage of every AUR purchase made in DUST.<br /><br />To get Sony buy-in, perhaps, make the only source for AUR being through the Sony store. AUR syncs could include one-way conversion of AUR->PLEX, and permit the purchase of more resources useful in the Eve/DUST universe through AUR (more clones, AUR weapons/armor/equipment).<br /><br />But I do agree, I think that being able to invade an IHUB using DUST marines would be pretty cool.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05470922810147465891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-45862927169983109172013-07-17T17:04:35.542+02:002013-07-17T17:04:35.542+02:00Uhm, main reason not to play dust is not the graph...Uhm, main reason not to play dust is not the graphics, its that it is only working on a console, while we capsuleers are actually pc gamers.<br />CCP wanted to get a new audience, their choice.<br /><br />At the moment sponsoring a merc corp in what matter ever is pointless, since the only influence they have is on factional warfare,<br />give me the option that was promised originally, which is the dust bunnies killing of my hostiles PI Colonies, and hell yeah i'll start throwing stuff at 'em. <br /><br />Until then the only interaction with dust that will i do is to ignore it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-69708730236052874962013-07-17T16:45:15.136+02:002013-07-17T16:45:15.136+02:00If you let EVE players send AUR to DUST players, t...If you let EVE players send AUR to DUST players, this is exactly the same as letting them send ISK, as traders will arbitrage.<br /><br />Anyway, if there is a large flow of ISK from EVE to DUST, then this has as much chance of encouraging PLEX purchases in EVE as it does at inhibiting AUR purchases in DUST.Comarmenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-18865194189265106082013-07-17T12:11:29.235+02:002013-07-17T12:11:29.235+02:00I don't think fixing the economy and allowing ...I don't think fixing the economy and allowing trade would help DUST very much. The problem is the FPS playerbase ISN'T like EVE. They don't care about metagame. They just want to log on and shoot stuff. CCP took a step in the right direction by simplifying down the skill tree, but they still need to do more work to make it more appealing to the COD junkies out there. Better leaderboards and rankings would be a good addition.<br /><br />Going forward I think they do plan to have isk (or equivalent) transferred between EVE and DUST in payment for services rendered, they just have to work out the economy balance. As far as I know, DUST players will be able to buy directly from the EVE market and EVE players will be able to produce their goods for them.<br /><br />Alternatively they could just let DUST die and say "yeah, that was a bad idea" and focus more on getting EVE's WiS implemented.Lucas Kellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03969897349629783605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-24135198830571512242013-07-17T10:02:53.081+02:002013-07-17T10:02:53.081+02:00But why use AUR?

Right now EVE players can buy PLEX with real money or isk, so just let DUST players be able to buy PLEX with real money or AUR, then let both sides use contract to trade PLEX.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
