Anyone else dissapointed with the Collectors Edition?

I have bought a ton of stuff from the old Eve shop and think that most of the merchandise is of top notch quality! The old Art of Eve slipcase hardcover is one of my favorite artbooks although it needs a volume 2. If the USB hub is remotely as well made as the 4 BS models it is worth a good amount. What the OP fails to acknowledge is that a number of us fans are actually buying this for the physical products dismissing them as crap he doesn't need and complaining about the in game items. I wouldn't pay $150 for only the in-game codes either so obviously this set IS NOT MADE FOR THE OP.

The question and topic is "Anyone else disappointed with the Collector's Edition?" which is a legitimate question. Just don't be too surprised if people don't agree with you and accept that this is a question of opinion and not a right or wrong question. Looking at the thread it does seem as though there are only a few people who want every item in the collection, and people are conflicted if $150 is worth the items that they want. While the in-game items are not something I care to spend real money on (I have way more ISK than $) I am still willing to spend the money on the physical items. There is no need to get defensive or angry at CCP for offering this Collector's Edition.

I like how everything that the OP personally finds "useless" is brushed over. You know, the OP. The guy who bought and paid for the CE. The contents of which he was perfectly aware of when he purchased it.

"I bought an art book and Dust items that I thought would be useless. And now I am Upset because I have received said items."

I agree that the 60days of gametime would be good on a current acct. But I find that it's excellent if your starting an alt acct, or know someone who is, then you can pass the time onto them. Or even as a gift for a friend who's thinking of coming into the game.

That's factually false. Reading your posts, it looks like you have a dangerous tendency to mistake your opinion for facts.


Ok so an election campaign is something that costs zero dollars now too. That's good to know.


Non sequitur fallacy based upon circular reasoning fallacy. I did NOT said that elections do not cost money, instead that money doesn't wins elections, and anyway you still haven't proved that spending money wins elections.

How much money spends a candidate is NOT a factor in election outcome. One of the good things of the US, is that there are elections everywhere and everytime, so a few guys made a study on over 30,000 elections and they found that the main factor why a candidate wins or loses it's the other candidates. Candidate A would consistently lose against candidate B, even if A consistently pulled out more money. Money does not win elections (and in a certain occasion, being alive didn't won the election to a candidate whose opponent died shortly before the election day).

Generally speaking, if money could buy hearts & loyalties, the world would be such a peaceful place... Roll

But in the world as in EVE, if you give 500 trillion to someone to conquer the world for you, he may perfectly grab te money and run. And in EVE, HE will have won the game with the biggest scam in history.

So no. Piling massive ISK doesn't wins EVE.

Please do point out for me where I've said that I have bought it Straight

I would never buy it in it's current state, which is the entire point of this thread, to voice my concerns about its contents.

Loads of comments claiming that I am unable to accept that some people enjoy the physical items


Have you even read the whole thread? 5th post on the first page. Ugh

I thought of buying it the first time I heard about it, but then upon seeing the list of content I dropped the idea. Especially since I have absolutely no interest in Dust...
I hope that whoever actually bought it enjoys what they got. Its not a small amount of money.
I do think CCP should make those 60 days time applicable to current accounts of people who bought it, that seems the right thing to do without a doubt.

I guess that depends how much of the stuff they end up selling in the store afterwards.

I'm looking forward to my Time Capsule and Mystery Code Lol

My bad, I assumed you were complaining about something that affected you. I guess I forgot that this is the internet.

Thanks for correcting me.

No half the people who read this thread are thinking the same thing and I really don't know why because why would I be angry about something that clearly stated what's included in the pack.

Check your mail, there is a survey going on and they specifically take suggestions on how to make the Collector Edition more appealing!

Awesome. I haven't gotten that mail yet though, could it be because they already know my opinion on the matter? Lol
