There are those who spend $650 7-course meal at the Fat Duck while there are those who spend $6.50 for All Countries Buffet. Everyone values things differently. |

They both wind up the same place. Seems it just takes longer for internet shirts. |

I think it's funny.
Just like 30 years ago when my buddy bought an 8088 PC for $5 Grand...and 6 months later it could be had for $900.00. I laughed at him too... |

I know i look pathetic asking for reparation for ingame items, but still, CCP needs to be absolutely clear about its future promotions. |

I think you all need to calm down a little in here. Numbers of terminally stupid people seem to be on the increase, I suggest we have a real life Stupidageddon to rectify this issue. |

What you say has nothing to do with our issue. We are not talking about the obsolescence of an item or the decrease in price because of increase in supply. We are talking about CCP's "almost-cryptic-deceptive" marketing practice that incentivize us to dish out hundreds of dollars by making it sound as if this unique collectible item is obtainable contingent upon paying actual cash, when 6 months down the road, they resell it for 50 cents each. |

Yes, I bought PLEXs to get the damn shirt. I don't see anything wrong with that. I am spending what I earned. Some spend it on hookers and enjoy a colorful concoction of STDs and Herpies. I spend it on nerdy items. |

It's pretty lame. I considered the promotion when it came out as well. Glad I didn't fall for it. And the message CCP is sending us right now - is their promotions are lies.
Anyone not seeing this as bad business is just baiting you - ignoring them is your best bet. |

Oh wait, for a minute I thought OP was talking about a real shirt.
Dude, it's all pixels anyway. Seriously there are more important things in life, and if something like that makes you mad, I pity you. |

The Plex was not worth the cash? EDIT: I'm confused. |

I for one, agree with the antique guy. If CCP is going to reissue limited addition items the least they could do is stamp them with "Date Commissioned" or something so the originals retain some spacevalue... Poastin with my main while I AFK cloak in your system. |

No. I had no immediate use for 39 x PLEXs. The cost includes postponement of spending on other alternatives/earning interests from real investments. |

No. I never belittled anyone until I get insulted. Everyone has different styles of insulting others. |

Wow, if this is true OP has my full sympathy. CCP should really have a long hard look at their marketing department and put the people responsible under a very bright light.
Dont worry about all people in this thread trying to belittle your concern, they are just either very new at mmo's or not sharing the same sense of perspective as the likes of people who can see a little further ahead down the road.
If I were affected, especially for a price like that I would look for reversing the payment if possible with a chargeback unless CCP comes out recognizing what they've done and make amends. |

It went on sale later, it happens IRL in almost all cases as the newer stuff comes out the old goes on sale.
Mass production sets in and prices drop, the $100,000 status symbols of today are the Walmart specials of tomorrow.

But you still got the PLEX. They are worth the same in terms of game time wich is what they are meant for. And if you paid for exclusivity you had it, for 6 months. I personally don't understand this logic since we are far into the industrial age. No matter what anyone says, no product is unique, even less a digital product.

Once again, what you say has nothing to do with my issue. What you describe is an obsolescence of an item & depreciating in price due to increase supply. That does not apply for Ishukone Special Edition shirt.
I am outraged because of CCP's cryptic marketing practices. |

I personally don't understand this logic since we are far into the industrial age. No matter what anyone says, no product is unique, even less a digital product.
When Ishukone Special Edition shirt was initially advertised, the site made it sound as if purchasing 13 x PLEXs is the only viable venue to obtain the special shirt. I did get 13 x PLEXs, but the main driver of me having to purchase the PLEXs was to obtain that special shirt. So we can't just easily dismiss the shirt as a "oh it was a bonus item. you shouldn't complain." It's not that simple.
Once again, if CCP was clear from the beginning about how the shirt will be sold for $0.50 cents in the future, even an impulsive nerdy ingame item lover like me, wouldn't have gone through that damn bundle deal. |
