"Got Owned" seems more appropriate here.

This post was crafted by a member of the GoonSwarm Federation Economic Cabal, the foremost authority on Eve: Online economics and gameplay.

you cant really compare a random drop with the original full set per account.

i have more accounts than id like to admit to, and only got 7 greens, 4 blues... people selling the implants at 30m are shooting themselves in the foot.

prices will go up again, if anything it will now be faster, since the pilots plugin those will now know CCP will eventually restock the market.

Investing in the Genolution CA-2 was a genuine gamble. However devaluing the Genolution CA-1 in the market was a horrible move.

The CA-1 is meant to be very rare as described in its item description:
"... 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."

This is a disappointing move by CCP, and creates a trend in which any item, from tournament prize ships to Zephyrs, can be created at will and be re-distributed in volume.

To address any reply that states that we should treat this as "just a game", or to have us "deal with it" because it is CCP's world, or "it's just in the item description": the success of this game relies on a feeling of value of one's accomplishments and investment. I was heavily invested in CA-1 implants. This type of betrayal in one's investment in the game makes suspension of disbelief impossible, and reveals that EVE is just a way to keep people sitting at a computer pushing buttons and doing something meaningless so someone in Iceland can eat dinner.

I, too, bought nearly 60 genolution 2-3 weeks ago and the funny thing was, i feared CCP would gives those implants again for christmas and almost sold them last week. Anyway, i will just have to wait 1 year before the price goes up and i hope, really, really, really hope CCP will makes Ca-3 and Ca-4 implant (set implant CA1-CA-4) for next christmas <3

Please excuse my younger brother, he's upset he can't live up to the awkward name our mother gave him.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

The problem is, you are framing the argument incorrectly. Instead of ranting specifically about the CA's, which were indeed a gift item. Perhaps argue the merits of rares. Some CCP Devs have loudly and frequently praised UO, where rares were a great part of the economy.

If your argument is that rares should exist, and should not reenter the game, then sure I would mostly agree with that. I think it fosters a nice little niche community within the game, and gives collectibles. So really what you want is a clear policy statement from CCP.

They have stated they will intervene in PLEX, and now it seems gift items. Is that it? That is the line?

Seek clarification on the policy first. Because in general, I agree, CCP intervening in markets is a bad thing. Especially when they set policy on the fly in response to them wrecking markets.
