Inability to connect the dots on the forum? The CCP already admitted that it was a mistake on its part to reissue these vanity items. What part do you not understand?

Awesome job on reading the last 5 posts of the entire 31 page thread and spitting out nonsensical ramblings regarding "my inability to connect the dots." I understand that the last time you read a book was Dr. Seuss'. I know it is pretty tough to read a 31 page posting, but do not despair. You can do it!

And Evil S.A., do not forget! 10,058 Goon tears gives me the daily strength I need to fend off your trolling posts!

He has yet to provide any evidence that his assumption was reasonable. Instead he has simply repeated his claims ad nauseaum and refused to respond (in any meaningful way) to any criticism pointing out that he's concerned about a free item or about the fact that CCP routinely re-releases promotional items or about his lack of evidence suggesting that his assumption is reasonable.

Oh, and he keeps bumping his thread with content-free posts, which is annoying and against the forum's rules.

Speculate? I made reasonable assumption that CCP will never reintroduce these items via alternative venues for 1/30th of the market value to the general populous. Usually, a reputable company such as Blizzard, means what they claim when an ingame item is advertised as a "one-time offer." I made a logical assumption that seeing how CCP is one of the most reputable game company in the industry, it would hold similar stance.

And do you guys just not get the important implication here? This is not just about me or hundreds of others crying about the market value lost over these shirts. What CCP decides to do here, determines the effectiveness of the future marketing promotions. It's not like YOU will be paying any extra dollars to CCP since you will generate most of your PLEX via ingame. When CCP decides to launch a future promotion to entice new players or current players to dish out more cash flow for the Company, the effectiveness of the marketing practices diminish if the customers realize that all they need to do is wait for several months and wait for CCP to reintroduce the marketed items for a minuscule effort.

It's been a month since this mess-up. CCP devs, could you please kindly take a look at the list of questions we compiled, and provide us with a status update?

Collecting random weird geeky stuff on EVE is my chosen profession in EVE Online. I need a clear answer from CCP so I know what to do when the next similar promotions are available in the future.

..so CCP is lying to their customers (again)? "we'll get back to you shortly", then no response..

..so CCP again show a display of dysfunctional internal communication?

In some ways, I'm glad they keep remembering us tho that we shouldn't invest too much time/money in this game, clearly they don't give a **** about us customers (in fact, even treat us bad). This is a good reminder of why I removed the EVE novels from my bookcase, and stopped waring my EVE shirts. Would be embarrassed if my RL friends saw any connection with a company like this. Quite a stark contrast compared to some 5 years+ ago, when I recommended this game (and company) to everyone I thought might be interested.

CCP Navigator, I am pleased to see this issue will finally get fixed, however I am disappointed that the ishukone shirt will be placed back on the market. As a trader I ended up with several of these shirts, which I paid about 1b each for because my buy orders were up on patch day, and people created these shirts and sold them to me when they were only worth about 50m. As it stands it doesn't appear I will receive any compensation, yet I still lost out due to your mistake. Do you think this is a situation which deserves a petition?

hopefully it will be something comical...
