However some of us did pay 1b+ for a shirt, and CCP said they wouldn't change the prices of existing items, and that's exactly what they've done.

False.

When we dig iron ore out of the ground in Australia, it doesn't come stamped with "$130 per metric tonne". It doesn't come with *any* price.

Bad analogy. The ~shirt~ was in this case quite clearly given free when the PLEX were purchased.


The ~shirt~ is a lie

Which is fine since he didn't pay anything for it.

lol a fool and his plex are soon parted

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.

CCP making a fool of people that buy plex is not what CCP should want.

Even in bundles like this, people value so-called "freebies". Suppose you were to purchase a bundle of 5 dvd's, which came free with a sixth specific dvd. You don't therefore value the sixth dvd as being zero. You might jump onto ebay, and sell it for maybe half or a quarter of its normal retail price. It still has a value to you and to others, and its price is not zero.

Items sold through the NEX.

This item was never sold via the NEX... or anywhere else for that matter.

Except, if you've looked recently, it IS on the NEX.

Good thing that they're not doing that, then.

The people in question got the PLEX they bought and a valuable item on top of that. The OP made a fool of himself by not cashing out early on an item that could only ever decrease in value.

Because Limited items always decrease in value.

You confuse the terms "value" and "price" here.

GǪnot to mention that the price for the shirt was zero before that, so if anything, it was actually made more expensive when it was released to the general public.

No, because indestructible items with a fixed price can never increase in value GÇö they cannot become scarce and if the price increase, people will just go to the source and buy them from there.

Oh, and the shirt was not a GÇ£limited itemGÇ¥.

Except there was only one source which expired which made the item limited.

This is probably why the price increased so much, from some 300mil to over 2bil in 5 months.

GǪaside from there being nothing to suggest that it wouldn't reappear from other sources, since it wasn't labelled as a limited item.

Yes, people investing foolishly in a non-limited item will do that.

Except for the past six months it was limited wasn't it.

Maybe I should go and make a video to help you understand.

Except, if you've looked recently, it IS on the NEX.

Existing items from before June 19th will remain in the store, for now, at the current prices so that we donGÇÖt devalue the investment that some players have already made.

Since the middle of 2011 we have had nearly 200 items of unreleased clothing sat in the EVE client waiting to be used.

And the fact that "special edition" is a poor choice of name for something that is clearly no longer special in any reasonable sense of the word.

]GǪand the store on the corner ran out of tea biscuits the other day. I suppose that made them GǣlimitedGǥ as well.
