bought the eve 10th anniversary collectors edition back in may for 150$ thinking, from the insinuations made by CCP that for pre ordering so early I would get exclusive stuff never to be offered again....

what do you know, had I waited till now I could have got the same thing 50$ cheaper....

I just cant help feeling a little cheated, like my support of ccp and early purchase of the CE isn't appreciated.... I feel like such a sucker...

anyone else feel cheated by this who pre ordered the CE months before its release?

shouldn't we who paid 150$ have something special that those who are buying for 99$ shouldn't have access to?

Well I was a buyer for 150$ to but I did it with the purpose to support CCP. Soon the CE will disappear this is only limited so not really worrying.

Obviously I'm outraged that my old baby clothes don't sell for the same price nowadays, OP. Give 'em hell.

We did. We got the pre-order items, they didn't.

I bought a video game for $50 bucks one time. Well, ow be damned, people can buy it for $15 bucks now. I feel so freakin' cheated. I will now boycott the entire video game industry. I'll show them.

the pre order bonuses dont come with the no longer pre order collectors edition. its just a collectors edition with the basic stuff in it, and only on sale for like a week and a half till it goes back to whatever price, still without preorder stuff.

like someone else said in a very similar thread

you paid more to get more stuff before everyone else.

Trust me i know i still remember spending 1000 dollars for my first xbox, a second controller and a copy of halo - why would i do that? because i wanted to be the first person in my town with it, and i got it, when my xbox died i bought a new one for like 150 bucks, i didnt feel cheated, never

Here's a list of the things I didn't get when I spent my $99 on the CE
After each is the current market value of each

Nefantar Thrasher 99 mil
Amarr Drop Uplink n/a
Sleeve Tattoos roughly 700 mil ea
Genolution CA-3 & CA-4 Implants 980 mil +890 mil

Assuming you get one sleeve only with the preorder, that puts the total around 2.67 billion isk....Thats 2 60 day gtc's or 4 plex worth of goods. Sounds like you made out more than getting cheated. Just sayin.
