it was christmas time 2013 when I first saw that my beloved collector's edition was offered for 99 EUROs. I could'nt believe my eyes and was very disappointed that I payed 149 EUROs for my PREORDER.
I wrote a petition to let CCP know what I think about that offer:
1. A PREorder helps the manufacturer to get a market sense about his product. He can minimize his risk in selling the product because he knows how the community feels about the product BEFORE the release! Therefore the PREORDER should have a better price than the "normal" order after the release.
2. 50 EUROs ?? 50 ?? So anyone who thought "hmm I don't know, is that collectors edition really worth 150 EUROs?" before release, was now "Oh look, it's only 100 EUROs now, great!" *klick*. And every loyal customer of Eve Online that was like "what? 150 EUROs for the collectors? Damn OK shut up and take my money." Was totally fu**** by CCP at this moment.
Because he payed 50% MORE as a PREODERER! F I F T Y P E R C E N T!
As an answer of this petition, CCP told me that they do understand the anger in the community, but it is a christmas offer and that is nothing unusual on the market. They do though consider the arguments for further offers.
OH DO THEY? - YES, they do. They considered that we should shut the fu** up and brought the offer BACK!
Yes you might have seen that the collectors Edition is at 99 EUROs again for "a short time".
So I thought this is enough...
I CLAIM that you CCP pay at least 3 PLEX to everyone who can prove that he or she payed 149 EUROs for that product.
3 PLEX are not even worth 50 EUROs and besides that fact CCP does not even need to pay back real money. So I think that is more than a generous "offer"
I hereby shout out to every customer who payed 149 EUR for his collector's edition because he LOVES Eve Online and is now betrayed by CCP for this LOVE!
JOIN THIS PETITION AND SHOW CCP THAT THIS IS NOT FUN!
Fifty Euros is a lot of money (not for CCP and their sales team obviously). Everytime I look at my collector's edition I feel betrayed now instead of satisfied and I don't want to feel like that.
A special offer during christmas was a slap in the face. I took that, I told CCP that it hurts, they answered, okay... But a second offer is a shot to the nuts. So, 3 PLEX for that 50 EUROs. Fair enough, don't you think?
Please /sign this thread if you feel the same!

F++r meine Deutschen Freunde, die das lesen: Ich verlange 3 PLEX f++r den 50 EURO Betrug von CCP. Zum zweiten Mal gibt es eine Aktion f++r 99 EURO und ich finde es eine Frechheit f++r die Vorbesteller unter uns. Ich f++hle mich betrogen und jeder der das nachvollziehen kann m+¦ge diesen Thread unterzeichnen. Ich will mein Geld zur++ck und denke PLEXE sind eine faire "W+ñhrung" daf++r.
