ADDENDUMISHUKONE SPECIAL EDITION SHIRT & WOMENGÇÖS EXECUTOR COAT (RED/GOLD)Judging by the CCPGÇÖs recent action to remove the two highly controversial items from NEX Store, it shows CCPGÇÖs admittance on their mistake to release those two items on the NEX Store in the first place.
Removing those two items is an appropriate first step, but that does not provide any reparation for those who were adversely affected by CCPGÇÖs marketing failure.
Those who took the GÇ£leap of faithGÇ¥ in CCPGÇÖs are still disenfranchised by seeing billions of their initial investments on these unique shirts turned to GÇ£dustGÇ¥ due to the untold number of those shirts being circulated out into the market, thanks to CCPGÇÖs mistake of releasing those items for $0.50 on NEX Store.Obviously CCP can not take away hundreds of ISHUKONE SPECIAL EDITION SHIRT and WOMENGÇÖS EXECUTOR COAT (RED/GOLD) that were purchased for $0.50 post the recent patch.
CCP needs to make appropriate reparations in forms of another completely unique items to the previous owners of those rare apparels. That is the only GÇ£justGÇ¥ and GÇ£equitableGÇ¥ action.
I try to keep myself calm, but this is just way too outrageous that I had to vent here again and again.
You, CCP, made it sound as if ISHUKONE SPECIAL EDITION Shirt was only available contingent upon the purchase of 13 X PLEXs several months ago. I didn't have to, but I took the damn bait, with the expectation that CCP and its honest marketing department will maintain the "uniqueness" and rarity of these special items.
But you decide to reward those who took that "extra leap of faith" by treating us like ***** and dingleberries and having these same items available for 50 cents each several months later. Where is fairness in this?
CCP, You should have MADE IT ADAMANTLY CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING THAT AFTER 6 MONTHS, THESE SPECIAL ITEMS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR 50 CENTS EACH!
CCP should make appropriate reparation by rewarding the previous faithful ISHUKONE SPECIAL SHIRT owners with other equivalent UNIQUE items. Prior to this debacle, the shirt had a market value of approximately 1.2-1.3B. Now, it costs 11 million to purchase.
So far, this has been the message that CCP has indirectly expressed to all the supporters of Noble Exchange, cash for PLEXs, and all other marketing schemes:
"Thank you for your contribution. You assumed the risk and this is what you get. You will be the laughing stock of the entire community of EVE Online. We will remain mute for the rest of the period. Oh!! And don't forget: we are here sitting behind the desk, laughing at you too!"Please refer to the
following post on the Market Discussion for those who were adversely affected by CCP's recent flooding of pre-existing rare/unique outfits on NEX Store for fraction of their initial costs.
