Honestly, if these were mods or ships, implants, or anything else that could actually affect the game, I'd raise my brow at it, but considering that they are luxury items with no actual function besides looking rather quite poor, to begin with, let the poor buggers who buy them throw their ISK away.

OP does know entity owns many many items in game that no longer exist? And that fact he was able to buy every one of them that dropped is a testament to how much isk he really has.

TL;DR, OP cry more

You guys need to seed this item in the Nobel Exchange asap. Allowing one player to gain such a huge amount of wealth off this is ridiculous. If he chooses to sell them all at that rate (and they will sell at that price), he could buy a fully fit titan and supercarrier. Don't you guys (CCP) think that is a bit ridiculous?

Also, lets keep in mind how everybody lost their mind over Blink being given Guardian Vexors to hand out, how is this really any different? The combined value of all the crap this dickhead scooped off your wrecks is comparable (if not more) than the value of a guardian vexor.



Friend, may I suggest that you liquidate your assets and transfer your ISK to me?
It sounds as though you no longer have a use for such things.

If you do the maths for how much total.....

If we be generous, and say Entity is selling 11 total, and that he is being a charitable bear, and selling them for 0 profit, and that we round up to 30b, that means the total would be 330b.....which, while a substantial amount of money, is hardly unique within Eve.

TLDR: Just cos the OP cant imagine having 330b, does not mean it is outside the realms of possibility.....also it is extremely unlikely that Entity is selling at either a loss or 0 profit, so the total paid is definitely less than he would have paid for other items, or that other people spend ^^

I have to point out that your TL;DR is actually longer than the first paragraph of your post.

Well done indeed.

But it's a fair point. 300b is not a huge amount. Besides, if you were to look at entity's list of items, (Which I believe is still publicly available), you would very quickly realize that 300 billion isk is just a drop in the ocean for him.

Besides, the items will probably be seeded sometime soon anyway. No need to be bottomdisgruntled about it.

Yeah that's the only annoying thing. If you're going to drop extremely valuable items in an event its probably not wise to go to PL's home system and drop it to PL exclusively... Sortof like going to VFK and having an event there....

one thing bugs me: i monitored forums and RSS all day. There was nothing interesting.
And in 1.5 hours i spend travelling from my office to home Devs already went somewhere, fight with PL/NC/etc... and gave them nice stuff.

It really looks somehow bad....

I think the OP just really wants one but is too broke to get one in game.

I'm sorry to whoever had the hostage, but I may have just sawed them in half.

Personally as long as those monocles can't shoot me its not really a big deal for me but dev's should probably be a little smarter giving out free stuff to their friends, already a few thread naughts about this going on with Blinks.


So where is the proof it was dropped exclusively to PL?

Well, PL was not handed the items, but the odds were REALLY high they would scoop them, given CCP dev''s went to their home system.

I really don't know why anyone is surprised. The bulk of CCP's devs come from the null sec monoliths, so where do except them to give out most toys. That being said, CCP did run some high sec stuff recently, but if I remember correctly, the fights there were still dominated by null sec entities that showed up in force.

You just actually managed to take my post here:

Everyone knows CCP is in cahoots with *the Nullsec Cartels*.

Dont believe me? Ask yourself THIS:


When was the last time CCP recruited a Dev from Highsec? HMMM?!
Coincidence? I think not!


And you actually went and said the same thing except you are actually being serious and you managed to keep a straight face.

...So congratulations I guess?

Yeah I'm not saying anything inappropriate happened. But yeah it would have been suicide to go and try to loot anything, let alone kill anyone lol.

Nice one Entity.

It will be interesting to see how many more of those that will be seeded over the next year. I'm holding out for the right/grey before upgrading mine.
