Stop panicking everyone of you.

that's the historical price data for CA-1s.
The implants were seeded last christmas and could only be traded on contracts until August.
After the introduction on the market prices were very volatile for a while and then settled at 40m slowly sliding towards 35m.
Next, there are some volume spikes and from mid October the prices start rising sharply, doubling until mid-December.
That rise was possible because the amount of CA-1s is limited but it was not due to them becoming more and more scarce. Genolution implants also became scarcer every day in September and October when prices were slowly dropping.
What this graph tells you is that the market for genolution implants is highly susceptible to manipulation and that prices can move very fast if pushed hard enough.
There is no reason to panic now. My prediction is that prices will be back to above 50m within 2 months. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

That was when Cheese Monkey started buying the implants. GÇ£The best way to keep something bad from happening is to see it ahead of time, and you can't see it if you refuse to face the possibility.GÇ¥ |

Yes, but my issue here is the non-player produced, massive drop, in what will be the next month on that graph! |

Yeah I saw that, I was pretty sure that I did my research when I invested. Unless It was said on the test server sometime or in some local chat I cannot find record of that anywhere...
Probably referring to the note in the Dev Blog from the release about farming them.
But, tbh, a gift item is a gift item - we might get them from CCP every year |

Lucky I am that I sold my Genolutions right before the patch lol OP: If you can so easily spend 20b on this, you are not skilled enough. CCP already did something a bit similar in the past, so nothing really surpricing. |

Before switching to handing out skinned catalysts and iterons, CCP had reused a number of items that had been believed to be one-time issues in their promotions over the past 2 years (e.g. Apotheosis as a Power of 2 reward).
If you did truly believe that CCP would have qualms about reusing limited edition assets then you could have known better (by following their promotions around the world and the many angry forum threads about that behavior). I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

Though many in the augmentation industry initially questioned the agenda behind GenolutionGÇÖs entry into the implantation field, fears eventually subsided as the implant was shown to be one of the safest on record. Genolution went one step further to assuage fears however and vowed never to release the implant to open markets, providing only a single-run issue to capsuleers as a demonstration of the technology.
Yes, it does say they will be 'vigilant', it doesn't say that they are going to do something that is the opposite of the item description! |

Actually I think CCP staff are more likely out wagering money over underground rooster-fights between their daily routine of seal clubbing and bible reading. EvE Forum Bingo |

doesnt say that after the "demonstration" they wouldnt give out anymore of those. all it said was that for the demonstration of the technology you would only get 1 of each. which was and still is true. now they just gave you a new one as a present because they made so much money with the other stuff they sell that they wanted to give something back to the actively playing capsuleers.
Genolution also noticed single individuals stacking up huge amounts of the implants and keeping them from the actively using players which was another reason for them to release another batch as gifts. |

That's my point, they have never re-seeded something of this value. Snowball launchers until now didn't do anything. These implants are a commodity that is usable and people understand.
Of course i't not asking for a forecast, but they have always given notice before of such changes! This was totally out of the blue and impacted this item by at least 30-50% in the medium term. |

A valid question was asked: Will we seed more of the genolution implants?
Potentially. We really like them as a gift as they provide a nice little bonus but not something overwhelming. I don't know if or when we will use them, but I know we are keeping the option on the table. Game Designer | Team True Grit [url]https://twitter.com/RegnerBA[/url] |

This is EVE. In EVE, even Santa is a troll.

Why was there no warning? Every other market related change has had some warning. Surely you must have known that this would effect people! Was it negligence or incompetence? |

Of course I am ungrateful. Without warning CCP just had un-consensual market sex with me. Something that was totally unpredictable!(empasis added - silens) Working as intended.
You've been playing EVE HOW long? And you're *surprised..?!* The ONLY constant in EVE is "un-consensual [insert activity] sex." It's EVE's defining characteristic!
