Why was there no warning? Every other market related change has had some warning. Surely you must have known that this would effect people! Was it negligence or incompetence?

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.

Or, you could do something about it yourself, and start podding people (or hire someone to start podding people) to get them to have to buy new implants. Lol

Oh wow another guy crying because he attempted to profit from risk-taking and it backfired, as was a possibility inherent in said risk.

Cry some more.

You invested in the last few year's Christmas item, and were shocked when it was also this year's.

OMG, stop trolling and use you're evolution given brain!

I'm not crying because there was a risk. I'm cross because CCP just decided to do something like this without warning. Something they have never done b4 that affected the 'player' market.

See above. They do this every year with this same implant set.

Get real.

This is balls. Will CCP randomly seed more t2 bpos? they have never done this b4.... there needs to be warning before they fuq with the markets. On every patch notes so far that have effected the markets or players they have given ample warning!!


Actually there was this thing called invention that resulted in various T2 prices to fall down heavily once people were no longer tied to T2 bpo's. You can ask how hulk BPO owners felt like when they no longer could sell their stuff for 500 mil/each and had to settle for 200 mil/each which then went down to 100 mil for while.

Face facts, CCP is bound to do shenigans that affect value of goods, prepare accordingly when planning long term business.

They do not do this every year.

They did It once (as usual) nicely introduced. Then did it this year without warning, smashing the market value.

Maybe it was only last year, hold on I thought it was 2010 too but I could be wrong.

Regardless, investing in holiday rarities is always stupid risky. There's always the potential for popular ones to return.
