its value is not intrinsic... ccp did not set that price... eve players did based on a false assumption that there were a limited number of them.

Sadly it isn't true.

I would like to say that, that is a horrible way to keep customers.

So you're ok with BoB getting their BPOs back then. After all, they have no value either.

not when they're being given away in secret


some will be given in a public forum... some as a special thank you from ccp... its not ccp duty to tell you everytime they want to say thank you.

BPO which is used for production is different then a novelty ship.

though for a good long time tech II close range ammo was a novelty...

Actually just unblocked you just out of boredom and am amazed at the level of stupidity you deliver.

So what entitles a group running a self-serving gambling site site that never did anything valuable to the game except promoting itself to deserve special privileges?

Not really, no.
They have a value based on the same principles.

If handing out half a trillion worth of one is ok in your book, then handing out a quarter trillion worth of the other should be ok as well. If one is supposedly worthless (in spite of the market telling us otherwise) then the other most certainly is (especially since the market tells us it is).

Yay, this account hasn't had its signature banned. or its account, if you're reading this.

The same way all valuables do.

they were given away in secret, nobody knew about any additional supply. the recipients had over a month to unload their items quietly while everyone else thought there were only roughly 90 units around. naturally, increasing the number of units by a third would drop the price, but somer leadership advised them to act quietly so they could get sell without drawing any attention, which gave them even more of an advantage by allowing them to get top isk for their ships.

the false assumption might have something to do with the items being given away in secret and permitting somer blink employees to engage in insider trading with said items

I don't get it. What's the problem here? It's just a skin job and refines into nothing. Who cares?

Some of you are bats*** crazy. You can't compare a skinjob scorp and a T2 BPO before invention. The latter fundamentally changed the balance of power. The former is a princess dress.

Get over it.

You know a way to make everyone happy would be to give everyone something, instead of just a selected favorite few.

I for one could go for a nice Freki myself, that or free SoE ships when they come out.
