This is called "early adoption". I'm sure there is a wiki about the topic somewhere. Lots of people pay premium prices for things when they are the "new hotness". Look at how insane prices are for new technology which later becomes easier to manufacture and thus cheaper to the consumer.
Satellite dishes are sitting in countless backyard doing noting but blocking the sun. Nowadays, we have those cute little 18 inchers atop almost every roof in suburbia. Guess which one costs more?
Also, a person with that link shouldn't be worried about 2.1bil (even though you and I both know it was more like 1.5bil - stop inflating your own early adoption) when you're using it to make that much money each and every day with your mining fleet.
Shrug off the loss and move on.
Thank you.

This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time, that CCP devalues any particular item. It's been very expensive for a long time, and now it isn't. I'll bet the warfare mindlinks that I paid a premium for before the last expansion have lost value with the introduction of navy mindlinks, but I don't expect CCP to reimburse me. I also never got a reimbursement for skills I trained that are no longer requirements for other skills, and judging by the Character Bazaar, skillpoints can be worth a lot of isk.
I think you expected more support from the playerbase with your OP. I suggest that you adjust your expectations. |

You are asking to have your purchases adjusted after the fact if something happens to the market that alters their value for a period of time after the trade has been done. If the price goes down, you get reimbursed the additional ISK you had to pay. If the price goes you, you reimburse CCP the additional ISK you didn't pay. if it was direct market related the post woudlent have made sense but if ccp literary fucks the ppl over it does
It was CCP fixing what they did 2 years ago, I've been waiting those 2 years for the mindlink to comeback down to it's real price. That you got a case of the stupid and paid 2 bil for it, that's your problem. Now I can buy it for what it's supposed to be at, and was for most of the game.

CCP make changes which effect the prices all the time, this is what a living evolving economy looks like.
There are plenty of people who have been burnt the same way you have it will continue for ever more, if you want to try and avoid it in future keep your finger on the pulse of changes etc. #tweetfleet on twitter is a nice way to keep up with news as well as reading all Dev Blogs and patch notes.
You can actually make money off these changes as well if you're smart enough to see where the prices will change. CCP never owe anyone reimbursement outside of EULA breaks or bugs within the game taking money. Lieutenant Turelus

Thats the game, it will never change. Best thing you can do if you really don't like the way ccp handles this is by ending your subscription and play a other game. One where perhapse these situations would be handled in a bit more tactfull approach. |

In all honesty, CCP should probably reimburse every character who ever lost isk due to a market fluctuation that came about from new/altered items. Fair is fair.
yeah man. i made some stuff that should have been a profit then the prices lowered and i can't shift it expect at a loss. CCP owes me big. /end sarcasm. OP if they had made the price go up would you be insisting that they take isk from your wallet and give it to the person you bought it from so that things were fair? |

I am not sure if you were aware of the Features and Ideas Section of the forums.
If you were then you would have seen the Dev thread on Mindlinks posted over two months before the patch. In that thread they stated the intended changes to Mindlinks and it was discussed for 60 or 70 pages (Don't remember exactly). Anyone that had a Mining Mindlink immediately after reading the thread put it on the market and laughed all they way to the bank as people bought them up at, never to be seen again, prices.
Your thread is misguided, misdirected... well your anger is at the wrong person. You were scammed, by someone that read the Dev Thread and used his knowledge to make a profit off of others that don't read.

I'm pretty sure that the LP thing was announced, or at least I know I saw it at the bottom of that dev post when I first read those changes in F&I welllllll in advanced. Like a couple weeks I'm sure.
You just werent paying enough attention
Suck it up and shut up
You played with market speculation based on potential patch changes that could have still changed before the patch went live. You took a risk, now accept it and quit yer bitching. The Drake is a Lie |

Yup, it was announced so people should have sold them when they could. I think I must have sold about a dozen of these for over 1B ISK each from the Shipyard Theft mission over the years. Trading is all about the timing. I think my biggest hit came when CCP accidentally decided to sell the Excecutor Red Gold in the NeX store for a week but these things happen.
I've been telling people for the past couple months how the sleeves would drop from 1.5-2b ISK to about 500m ISK (I suspect they will stabilize at this price but could be wrong) which has recently occurred. My advice for today is to sell the Genolution 3 and 4 if you have them since they most likely will be rereleased someday and prices for them spiked (I sold my pair for over 1 billion ISK) a few days ago. |

The price and availability changes for all the mindlinks including the mining one has no connection with the 'rebalancing' of the mining vessels. I also agree with many others that you do not have a right to a refund due to this change.
On the other hand I do feel that it was a bad idea for the price of the mindlinks to drop by so much. In particular for the mining mindlink to drop from approx. 1.6 billion ISK (I don't know where you got the 2.1 billion price from!) to as little as 86 million ISK on the markets. We have heard virtually nothing from Dr Eyjo since Fanfest earlier this year and with the QEN no longer being released we are in the dark as to how the economy is being managed. If I didn't know different I would say prices, except for the 'extra materials' factor, were being driven down by CCP to enable more PLEX to be bought with RL money.
My associates still wonder if any thought was put into whether dropping the price and increasing the availability of mining mindlinks would have a detrimental effect on the market and specifically to the mining community. It is probable this has been done to enable stopping use of Rorqual within POS shields ie to lessen the cost of Rorqual pilots being podded. I'm not sure there is any other reason to have made this change. |

It wasn't an idea. It was an actual DEV blog of an upcoming change. If you did not take it as gospel that it was going to happen, then you must be trolling. |
