They were special edition holiday assets from last year. It was a reward from players at that time for having active accounts. That was their point. One time deal. Some day the only ones will be in the hands of collectors. |

They are still only 70 mill at Jita.
This is a necro thread brought back by the guy that is spreading all the rumours about EVE being free to play :D
The point of the thread at the time was an attempt by the OP to artificially inflate the price of Gecko and it worked for about a week (people were stupid enough to rush out and pay 100 mill for the things) and then prices dropped back to a more normal level. |

Very telling that their price increased by 2500% in a year.
Geckos are technically fighters, will they become true fighter drones in the future?

There was apparently another comment by Fozzie at Eve fest that IF the prices got out of hand they MIGHT release another bunch. Considering the gecko prices are falling that doesn't look likely now does it?

Hmm, perhaps I misunderstood, but I thought their aim was to release them periodically so they would continue to be usable drones rather than just collectors items. While the prices are falling they aren't really at the level that they are worth using much. I certainly wouldn't be hedging my bets on them not releasing some.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/3izy6e/no_more_geckos_ccp_fozzie/
I can't find ANYTHING on the supposed 'might give out more geckos if price goes high enough' anywhere at all. would love it if anyone has some *actual* info on that. Even I jsut heard from someone that someone heard Fozzy say something like that, maybe.
I'm not a betting man but it sounds like a losing bet.

You seem to be entertained, so it isnt so bad after all.
About rereleasing them: CCP probably could give you people some choice. Not lottery but like it was in ancient times when you logged in and claimed what you wanted from the system.
Then there were Yule lads lotery.
But watching the latest o7 show I think you will have to earn it in game first, every kind of gift they have prepared.

Geckos were sort of a **** item in that, unlike various other gifts which have been cool and useful, the Gecko flat out obsoletes its standard counterparts.
The only thing that tempers that is obscene pricing, which itself is solely a function of scarcity.
They absolutely should be at a pricepoint that makes them impractical to use most of the time, for most people. Increasing the supply of the obviously overpowered special item to make sure it's affordable in perpetuity would be the very definition of ******* stupid.

They aren't that overpowered, they are only good at close range because they are slow as feck. They also take a staggering amount of damage when attacked. There's no real point in them existing if they get to the point that nobody uses them.

Right now I would say their "real point" in existing is to serve as an illustration of why CCP should stick to handing out Fedos and other such similar worthless doodads and googaws as gifts.
Hand out something good and all of a sudden everything thinks they're entitled to have that as standard gear forever and ever.
They don't need a mechanical justification for their continued existence. They were a special edition item and it's entirely okay for them to allow the supply to dwindle until they are strictly for collectors and very blingy fits.
So, that's not exactly a meaningful point.

I run Geckos in PvE on another character, I bought cheap and I can draw replacements from my stockpile on the very rare occasion I manage to lose one.
Civilized behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business.

Yep...made that mistake..now I have a bunch of worthless (compared to what they were going for pre-ccp gift) ca-3's and 4's.

Gecko should be a limited release. I don't care about devaluing them. I want to use them. But, I still want them to be rare.

That's a bit rich CAM, considering you whine and whine and whine for all sorts of fairytale crap in nearly every thread.

But difference is Gecko's are actually useful, even to the point of being worth their price.
