Do the people complaining that they didn't get free isk from this realise how stupid they look?
Seriously, I'm laughing my ass off here.
Do the people who are laughing their asses off at the expense of the rest of us realize how stupid THEY would look if the patch notes hadn't been changed? Think about it.
As somebody else posted, the reason that many of us tried to take advantage of this was because of the success that many who came before us have had with just such an "exploit". And it's not like we tried to go behind CCP's back with this. We asked about the "legality" of buying cheap BPOs to resell at the higher price.
Here's the response from Valar. (CCP developer)
So... laugh while the laughing is good. Those of us who "speculate" on the market lost this round. We've won many more rounds than we've lost. We'll win more in the future. (At least until CCP grabs a clue about not announcing changes like this through the patch notes or updates to SISI.)
You have no idea of how market works my friend,
You bought a cheap BPO that everybody had easy access, a BPO(this thing last forever) that cost 81k, with the hope that you will sell it for 15mils,
well that's a good idea, but not for this module, the Control tower was a smart move, do you wanna know why?
Fact 1:Control towers where too pricy: 25 mils- 100 mils pre-RMR
Fact 2:Control towers are more pricy now: 100 mils- 360 mils
A)not many had the ability to buy a lot of towers,
B)you must be stupid to spent more than 1 bil in speculation
in which(for that case) C) even if the price of the towers didn't change at least you had the actuall tower and you could sell it just under market price with minimum loss
D)CT's are destroyable, and people will need more towers sooner or later
E)How can you consider buying this bpo in masses smart move??? 81k suscriber eve has, and according to market history 100k of this bpos sold!! Thats more than 1:1 ratio which means that everybody has to buy not just one but 2 or even 3,
F)Even if 81k suscribers where thirsty enough for this bpo, the competition is just to high, and believe me the BPO NPC price might had change to 15 mils, but the demand if it is much lower than supply(100k BPOS in that case) then the player price within a week would have reached the current market price
i can talk and talk and talk about how market works, but i think you got my point
well you played and lost, but plz do not whine
Thats life
