As far as I remember unique ships and items from collectors editions and special boxed releases of the game were always exclusive and therefore a sure investment in Eve Online.
The Zephyr (and many other special items) says Hi.
If you hear the words "sure investment" in EvE, get ready to lose money.

I do understand lots of people, espacially from nullsec alliances, have little love for the NeX store, clothing or anything else in that regard.
But my point is not about that. Its about collectible items in Eve. How would PL feel if their tournament ships were sold for 500 Aurums in the NeX store or the Quafe Mark IV or any other item in Eve that got its high value from the rarity it has, because it was released in limited time offers or very special (often expasive) deals?
There are some people in this game that just suffer from CCP not checking closely what they are doing.
Might be 0.0 alliances loose well over 4 billion a day in fights, but for once they now what they are up to when they pick a fight, for me as a single player over 4 billion loss, just because someone at CCP didnt check or care is a massive blow.
Just realize, that 10 months of gametime.
You win a Tournament for your t-shirt?

not alliances, individuals. and you should have known what you were getting into as soon as you started playing EVE.
There's also the people who were left holding the bag on Datacores.

Its about rare and collectible items in Eve.
I dont have a russian collectors edition handy, but I bet somewhere on the box they advertise the Executor Coat Red/Gold as a special collectors edition item, maybe even saying "only available with this box". Someone who got that please check for me whats exactly on the box.
Same goes for the 13x Plex Ishukone Special Edition.
It even says special edition in its name. Now they sell it for 500 Aurum. Thats really very "special".
You got the collector's edition item. You got use of it. Exactly as advertised.
Unless the box said "Will never be available ever again," your whine is up a creek.

In actual fact you are wrong. EVE has never, and will never be just a spaceships game. CCP have stated time and time again, going all the way back to before EVE was even released, that the idea was to create a fully immersive science fiction universe. This would include flying around in spaceships, walking in stations and some form of planetary game play.
As you can see we already have EVE, we are soon to see the arrival of DUST514 and with luck CCP will start to hire new people to work on the Incarna project once again. Yes they made a mess of Incarna, we know and they know it, but let's not use that as an excuse to halt the expansion of our gaming universe.
You learn lessons and then you move forward, if you don't you risk stagnation, and that would be a more certain death than merely trying and getting it wrong.
Try playing EvE without spaceships and what do you got? Market? You can't haul anything. All you have without spaceships is that brand new space dollhouse of yours that offers as much immersion lore-wise as watching a fashion showcase. Afaik EvE has been a spaceship based game for 9 years now. Like I said before I'm not against avatars or universe expansion. But they are taking too long to acknowledge the mistake of making it a full RMT feature and 'move foward' on this. Where, anywhere on the EVE forums, has anyone suggested getting rid of the spaceships? And clothing is not all that Incarna is about, something you appear to be mistaken about.
Fine, Incarna was about Clothing and Clanking around a rusty room. Glad we could clear that up.
