Will Geckos ever be giving away again? or perhaps BPC's for them? Will other factions have their own drone? |

There are literally millions of the things in game already.
Aside from the admittedly hilarious tears of all the people that bought up 1000s as an "investment" what benefit will come from releasing even more ???

I was under the impression that the point of geckos was to be a periodically released special item rather than limited release. It's all well and good to have collectibles in game, but it would be nice to see more of these types of things being used day to day.

Why do you feel they should be used everyday?

Variety (it's the spice of life you know). And because I honestly don't see the point of CCP adding so many things that are limited and rapidly fall out of use. Other than going in some collection or being gathered up by people that are bad at math and think they are a good investment, there's no real point to them. If however they got replenished, even at a low frequency, then more people would use them, then suddenly they have purpose.

They're mainly used for PVE so it'll take a while for the current stock to deplete to the point here they're 500 Mil ISK each.
It's a REALLY long term investment where EVE might die before a decent return is made... |

Yeah, if something doesn't last literally forever, why even have it at all?

I came back and found a bunch of geckos in my aridia stations. I was wondering why I put out region orders, now I know.

Some advice, when CCP mass-releases useful limited content, stockpile it immediately. Limitedness negates usefulness, and unless they are going to go up drastically in price in the near future or you do literally nothing with your isk, investing in them is generally a bad idea.

I interpret it as meaning the statement is actual rather than just a metaphor or hyperbole.
My understanding is there were 7 gecko issued per account which means with 300,000 plus active accounts at that time (accounts not players) in excess of 2.1 million Geckos were injected into the game. |

You are assuming all the active accounts actually redeemed them however, which I highly doubt. |

I can think of no better reason for introducing more into the game.
If I were to want one thing from CCP for Christmas it would be a hundred rage threads because they flooded the game with free Geckos.

I've bought 100 of them for 8mil each I think when they got out.. That seems a reasonable profit already for me..

Even if you did manage to get all 100 that low, you'd likely have made more station trading the same amount of isk. Most people that bought into Geckos have made very little compared to what they could have made from having that extra liquidity. They are only a decent investment if you've got isk that would be sitting idle anyway, and even then they are fairly risky as CCP could release more at any time.

Yep. Seems very, very likely we'll see some other type of superheavy drone in future. Different speed/defence/damage/tracking/whatever. |

Unlikely, imo, unless they actually introduce them as a new proper class of drone.
Regularly releasing "special" drones that literally obsolete every other heavy drone in the game would be ******* stupid.
