Dear CCP,
thank you for implementing a previously rare and valuable item into the NeX store and throwing it away for 500 Aurum.
The Womens Executor Coat Red/Gold was initially a bonus to the Russian Collector's Edition.
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.
Considering this fact I have been stockpiling 8 of these coats as a slow growing investment for the future. Until Sunday each of these coats was worth ober 350 million ISK.
Now you implement them for for 500 Aurum and thus dropping the price to 50 million each.
CCP, you just screwed every collector and investor of limited issue items.
You cost me 2.4 billion ISK, just by not checking which items were already available in Eve and how their market value was pre-patch.
That must have been the greatest slap in the face I have ever received in Eve Online.
I do await a statement from CCP regarding this matter! |

I just checked the market a little more.
Apperently the Ishukone Special edition shirt is also sold for 500 Aurum.
That one went for 2 billion ISK apiece til Sunday!
I own one of these. Now they are sold for 38 million ISK.
So you cost me over 4.3 billion ISK in investments in a single patch.
Are you serious CCP?
Why do you troll us that much? |

Im not whining, I am complaining.
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.

Yeah might be every once in a while people lose (happy now?) tremendous sums of ISK, and not seldom because of stupid behaviour (like shipping 20 plex in a shuttle), but thats quite a different matter.
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".
