Thanks for seeding a bunch of Genolution Implants. Having just spend 20bil buying low so that I can sell for profit in 6 months, you decided to give everyone another set (without warning).

Next time why not just give everyone some t2 bpos... or 1b units of trit... or crash the price of anything you want!

The other Items were funny and great... but thanks for loosing me about 10ish bill.


Speculator owned!

Thankfully I invested in tissues. Buy some?

Of course I am ungrateful.

Without warning CCP just had un-consensual market sex with me. Something that was totally unpredictable!

I don't disagree there but then there may be merit in this quote from the 1st page. I just don't have the inclination to fact check it ;)

when they were first introduced it was said that they wouldnt tolerate ppl hoarding the implants and stacking up huge amounts without using them etc.

so just see it as CCP making sure justice is served ;-)

Yeah I saw that, I was pretty sure that I did my research when I invested. Unless It was said on the test server sometime or in some local chat I cannot find record of that anywhere...

Stop panicking everyone of you.

that's the historical price data for CA-1s.

The implants were seeded last christmas and could only be traded on contracts until August.

After the introduction on the market prices were very volatile for a while and then settled at 40m slowly sliding towards 35m.

Next, there are some volume spikes and from mid October the prices start rising sharply, doubling until mid-December.

That rise was possible because the amount of CA-1s is limited but it was not due to them becoming more and more scarce.
Genolution implants also became scarcer every day in September and October when prices were slowly dropping.

What this graph tells you is that the market for genolution implants is highly susceptible to manipulation and that prices can move very fast if pushed hard enough.

There is no reason to panic now. My prediction is that prices will be back to above 50m within 2 months.

That was when Cheese Monkey started buying the implants.

Yes, but my issue here is the non-player produced, massive drop, in what will be the next month on that graph!

Probably referring to the note in the Dev Blog from the release about farming them.

But, tbh, a gift item is a gift item - we might get them from CCP every year

Lucky I am that I sold my Genolutions right before the patch lol
OP: If you can so easily spend 20b on this, you are not skilled enough. CCP already did something a bit similar in the past, so nothing really surpricing.

You're right, how could I have mis-read this...

"Genolution went one step further to assuage fears however and vowed never to release the implant to open markets, providing only a single-run issue to capsuleers as a demonstration of the technology."

There were actually tears before the free stuff when people didn't see a free remap.
