This is not the first time CCP has done this (see: other modules and ships have been rebalanced/repurposed... making them worth more or less than before).


No one has been reimbursed for any of these changes. Ever.


Oh... and CCP does not set the price of the modules you are talking about. That is determined by the players. Other players felt that the rebalanced module was not worth as much as the old module.

If you're going to do a lot of trading in EVE then paying attention to upcoming changes is really important.

Thank you for your advise, i will certainly think about it in the future.

In this case CCP did not tell us that the change will lead one item in the game will be change into another already existing item in the game.

So are you saying that CCP has in the past taken one item in the game and changed it to another already existing item in the game?
Could you please tell when they did this and which items.

" CCP does not set the price of the modules"

I did not say that CCP sets the price. Please read my post again.

Why couldn't they just say item a is going to become item B, and the players could then decide if they want to to keep item B after the change or not.

They most certainly did. Look for the section titled "EWAR Module Tiericide."

In this case CCP did not tell us that the change will lead one item in the game will be change into another already existing item in the game.

After creating a ticket and explaining my protest, CCP told me that my protest can only be heard through CSM.

After the last path changes was made on some modules in the game. Changes are not something new in EVE and as a trader i am used to such changes.

Unfortunately the last change that was made on Small Gremlin Compact Energy Neutralizer and Medium Gremlin Compact Energy Neutralizer was not the kind i have seen befor.

These two items already existed before the December Release 1.0 patch, thus the value of the item was already determined.

After the December Release 1.0 path CCP converted 2 times; Medium Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Small Unstable Power Fluctuator I to these items(below), thus devaluing my stock of Medium Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Small Unstable Power Fluctuator I.

CCP decided that one item in the game with a specific value must be changed to another item which also had a specific value, this devaluation was determined by the value of the existing item that these two items was converted to.

If the conversion lead to a new item then i would have accepted the value of that new item, this kind of uncertainty is part of EVE.
If the conversion even lead to removal of these two items then that would also be acceptable.

I need your help to reach CCP with the message that the choice to devalue the items goes against the so called "free market" principle they enjoy bragging about.

In EVEs free market you don't convert apples to potatoes. In Free market i must decide if i want my apples to be converted to less valued potatoes(compared to apples).
