I can understand how going through a large list of items, how rare non-market items could be marked for deletion. I can also see how it could have made it to sisi before a problem was seen.
You said that deleting items this way creates a log. Then why did no one check the log when this hit the test server? It seems to be a reasonable precaution. They would have seen all the deletions there. If you delete a ton of items you never thought were in game, that should throw a flag that perhaps further investigation is needed.
But still, I can understand how this happened. As long as you don't take too long restoring these items its not that bad. Just learn from it, and in the future if you delete item types, check whats actually being delete before it goes live. |

I wanted to say that Greyscale completely lost it, but that would imply that he was competent to begin with. I guess my appreciation thread was not so bad after all.
There is enough material to send to some gaming websites, I think they would like to run an article on the goings at CCP.
Then again, Greyscale can do pretty much anything without the risk of getting fired, history has proven that. |

While I realize you are probably one of (if not just "the") the most prolific collectors in all of gaming and in one of the most challenging environments, I think CCP would kick you as easily as I or anyone else. We are very replaceable and insignificant from what I've seen. I don't think CCP has any concept of the word "unique". Maybe there's no Icelandic translation. It would explain a lot.

How about Mining Drone - UNUSED? Are you telling me that 3B that I've spent to acquire those items have gone to waste?
Leaving the items causes NO HARM to anyone. By deleting the items, you just caused the very imbalance that you tried to avoid, by enriching certain individuals, while depriving stupid PLEX buyers (Yes Me!) of ISK and actual USD.
Please return the Mining Drone -UNUSED or at least, convert those into Hellhounds I x 2.
You claim that deleting those items results in no economical detriments to anyone. Have you considered about the transaction costs that many individuals including Entity took, to seek and purchase those rare items that were originally seeded in the game through CCP's incompetence?
If you want to delete those items... it's fine. As long as you provide an appropriate compensation to those who spent time, money, and effort in acquiring those items. |

Total dick move, deleting stuff, which just might make a new list on Cracked if they ever revisit the topic. Saves you what, maybe 100MB of database space at most? That's like blowing your nose before stepping on a scale.
That said, how can Mines truly be a collector item, if BPOs exist, they can still be produced, and due to the way EVE functions (no visible item creation date, serial number, etc) there is no way to tell between a 2003-built mine and a 2012-built one?
I'm from the Empyrean Age timeframe, so mines were unusable when I started.

A threat? This is just a hypothetical bull-excrement situation you suggested, and i'm playing along with it. I mean, come on. Why the heck would they ban me for complaining about them deleting my stuff when I have every right to be upset.

If you guys really want a piece of history of eve, screen shot all your items and keep those in your computer.
A piece of history of Eve would be the first Quafe T-shirt, a Lego-Nyx, Leviathan dildo and so on. Pixels have no value if they don't belong to you...ho wait, that's exactly what it is ! |

Said pixels have value, actually. Like the hellhounds are ~2b or so. which equates to 4 PLEX. Your argument is invalid.

As far as I can remember the BPO has no build requirements of skills or materials and cannot actually be used to produce mines. It can however be used to produce BPC's. |

Fair enough. I only really remember trying to build them on BPC's. I think I may have just assumed it didn't work with the BPO's. I would test it out if i stall had them :P
Testing after/if we get them back may not prove anything either if they mess with them. |

Those are the stats on the BPO from the Crucible 1.2 (341054) database.
I really like that site.
btw - I don't see what the point of messing with the stats of something you can't even use would be, other than to give a big finger to the player base.

If that applies to the copies then I guess my memory has failed me. I guess if they can still be produced then the mines themselves shouldn't be all that rare or worth anything. Id like to think my BPO still held some value though. |

Id like to think my BPO still held some value though. Yah mine BPOs were going for about 300 mil or so. The mines were going for very little in contracts, but it was a good place to start out for people who wanted to start collecting unique items or for people who were profiting from collectors. I know a couple of people who were making a few ISK selling mines.

Yea, I seem to remember using bpo's without any issue recently. Not sure that build requirements were ever changed.
They made R.A.M. build times virtually 0 at one point, It didnt result in any bans.
Lets just hope this "DEV" doesnt deem tech2 bpo's to be something he "Thinks" in his own little world .... well .... that players shouldnt have.
Personally... I think they should move him to other jobs... Feeding the fish in the fish tank. |

What is this script? Is it something you've released publicly or is it an Entity only script? This has made me think about what else I might loose. I'd love a copy if you don't mind!

Sorry, Entity-only. it's actually set of scripts working together with my collection manager and typedb scanner and it's all pretty rough around the edges, not the most userfriendly stuff ever. Maybe I'll make a polished version at some point.

As someone who was just starting to collect things, I can only consider the amount of Isk I will save by making the decision to do something else.
What irritates me the most is the attitude displayed by CCP about this. As a company, CCP in general seems to think that "act, then think" is an acceptable way to do things.
Players are open to change, but not when it is presented in "Oops! did I do that? Sucks to be you, here's some table scraps" format. Profit favors the prepared |

I had some mines I bought long after they were usable (only ~4 years old) as a curiosity. Never really had any super rare collectors items. I seem to be playing eve a lot less lately, despite recently currently being unemployed. Only log in to change skills and poke my PI + datacores for plex money.
Guess this is just one more thing. |
