well you 2 both clearly miss the reason wy i made this threat

i would apreciate it if ppl dont troll in this case

Ignore the trolls buddy, you're in the right. Everyone who ever bought one of those mindlinks is due a heavy reimbursement by CCP.

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.

hello folks

me and i know a lot of others
bought the mind link after themining barge change

at that point there was not a anouncement yet that they
were going to change way they could be aquired

so i bought that thing 2.1 b

and about 2 days later they pronounce
that the mind links could be bought with concorde lp

i say that they should reimburse the difference
between the price we payed and the price it became

the price now is only a fraction
of what is was when it was still a "rare" drop

already made a petition about this but all they simply dont care

i call this theft from the players by ccp

thats a little more than is realistic

if they would set a period of a week or 2 before they announced it ( since that is when they went skyhigh after the mining changes)
that would be realistic

Lemme guess, you still have cargo rigs on your Hulk as well...

im talking about a chaneg ccp made for the (again) newer players
so they dont have to work so hard to obtain the mindlink

The price went up because of the addition of other storyline missions which diluted the supply. You paid 2.1b for something you thought was worth 2.1b and you still have the thing, you lost nothing. You are bad at eve and bad at thinking.

dit bedoel ik dus mensen die alleen posten om te trollen en niets toevoegen

GǪexcept that he's right.

If it wasn't worth 2.1bn for you, you shouldn't have bought it at that price.

at that moment yh it was worth it

than 2 days later it wasnt

GǪand presumably, at that point, you already had what you paid a fair price for. You probably even installed it, making all future prices irrelevant since there is no resale.

Just because the markets change doesn't mean that you got an unfair deal. I presume that if you want a reimbursement period, it'll be two-way: if you buy something, and then, a week later, it becomes more expensive, the additional ISK is drawn from your wallet to cover this new, higher price?

Why should they reimburse a deal that was entirely fair and which you felt was worth-while? If it was worth it, it was worth it, and you've lost nothing. If you were trying to speculate, then that risk is part of the business and you lost your gamble so there should definitely not be any reimbursement.

thats the whole point that i try to make clear

it was not a market change it was a interfearance of ccp

So if it had made the price go up, you'd be demanding ccp take the additional value from your wallet

thats bull what you write here
if it goes from rare to lp item

No, it's a logical consequence of your suggestion. 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.

but if ccp literary fucks the ppl over it does

Good thing that they don't, then.
Well, maybe the occasional market speculator, but that's the nature of speculation so it is as it should be.

they **** the players over all the time

trying to make this game easier for the newer players and "balancing" everything

up till a point that the nwer players dont have to work for something anymore
but the ppl who played for years simply waisted all the effort they putted in getting things done

at that point there was not a anouncement yet that they
were going to change way they could be aquired

so i bought that thing 2.1 b

and about 2 days later they pronounce
that the mind links could be bought with concorde lp

GǪyeah, no. They're not really doing that either, and making the game easier to get into is not the same thing as ******* players over. Quite the opposite.

if it was direct market related the post woudlent have made sense

but if ccp literary fucks the ppl over it does

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. .

well you 2 both clearly miss the reason wy i made this threat

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.

Its not a threat if you don't have your war face on!

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.

I remember when Mining Foreman Mindlinks cost 75,000,000, if. That is all.

100 dreds of idears are noted

not even a fraction actualy will be implemendet

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.

....but instead they let the price go skyhigh and than they change it...

I had been watching the price of these implants almost daily since April because I was ready to purchase one, at no point in the last year was the average at or close to 2.1bil. On top of that, I watched CCP announce the plans to change the availability of these implants, and with joy I raced to the market place to see how much these implants dropped from the announcement! And with disappointment, I noticed they were being sold for maybe 100mil less then the previous week. After a couple weeks went by the prices still sat pretty consistently at 1.1bil. Hell, even the night before odyssey 1.1, they were still selling for 900mil.

So to me, this appears as a trolling attempt or you are trying to cover up a poor market call by blaming the patch. But don't try to defend your position by asking for a couple of weeks to sell off your assets when you had a month between the announcement of the changes to mind links and when odyssey 1.1 landed.
