Still not seeing why new batches of collectables can't be given unique identifiers to keep people on both sides satisfied. It can't be that technically tricky to make each release batch unique. There's nothing unreasonable about existing owners (or previous winners) of these items commenting when the re-release policy is so ridiculously inconsistent. Either use a decal with a DOB, an item name that includes the release year or a special skin etc. But once decided, please release a formal policy and stick to it. This debate has been ongoing for years and it's getting a bit old.
It shouldn't be so hard to see that high value ingame items should be handled with care. If they aren't, the ingame lore and player driven narrative is debased as a result, as is the effort and time of players with an interest. It's also shortsighted to release items like the CA set and geckos which have really high stats and will be heavily used, then make vague (or contradictory) comments about subsequent releases. And it's outright insulting to the AT participants to mess them about over prizes. Researching collectables to try sort out the policy on each is a joke at the moment, because there aren't any. Just random remarks from devs (some of whom aren't even at CCP anymore). Also, all the people who support re-releases appear to be bitchy peasants whose only interest in commenting is to goad existing owners. Which is irrelevant noise tbh.
Player disgruntlement seems to stem from CCP's poor handing of this. It's almost like they want a wave of drama over each proposed release so they can decide on a case-by-case basis how to handle them, but all it does is annoy everyone involved and make them look indecisive. Are we supposed to have a tantrum every time this is mentioned then spend hours knocking each other about on the forums just to get a fair and sensible decision? Wouldn't it be better for CCP to treat the playerbase with fairness and respect in the first place, rather than us having to spell it out? Players keep coming out to support CCP when the community turns incoherent with nerd-rage so constructive feedback over changes can get through, but it's a massive waste of effort when they undermine themselves with such poor decisions. And honestly, why the CSM isn't pointing this out is beyond me.
