And reality disagrees with you.

Do you see A on the market?
No.

Why?
Because people are buying B anyway.


Would people rather buy A? Of course!
Do they buy B anyway, because there is no A?
Yep!


Of course it's a bit different compared to having a store and stock ...
... but the basics apply. No need for A when people buy B anyway.

I was after a eye-patch, but settled with a "SPZ-3 "Torch" Laser Sight Combat Ocular Enhancer" . I think i only pay about 170million for it, about a year ago or so. PPiratePPirate

Prove sufficient demand and CCP will follow.
They have done it before, they will do it again.

But when one item competes with another,
demand has to be significantly higher.

As long as people sufficiently use the substitute there's no point.

See this one and the poster below.

That's what I am talking about.

No need for eye patches when you can just replace the eye, and if you can replace the eye why would you not?


you know eye patches werent to cover a lost eye. i mean really come on, do you think every pirate ever lost an eye?.

eye patches were to keep an eye adjusted to the dark for going below deck.(read: tactical advantage)

edit: i demand an eye patch, preferably with a pony on it.

Spent some IRL ISK to buy tattoos for each arm, and they looked horrible on my character. 512K res horrible. Sold them both and bought the eyepatch, and still had some ISK leftover.

The time has come for me to get an eye patch. Yarr. Where do you get them? I tried searching the market for 'eye patch' to no avail. That is the extent of my experience with accessories.



My alt wears an SPZ-3 Torch, as well. I could possibly be persuaded to part with it if you found me someone who wants to legally buy a booster/logi/scanning alt for ISK.

That's all the more I can say without violating the forum rules about where we can/can't sell stuff. EVEmail me for more details.

I still remember when I first plugged my Torch in, and immediately got dragged into the Monocle Club, only to be booted out 2 weeks later because someone pitched a huge tantrum about how "that thing is a monstrosity".
Had a good laugh about that one. Especially since I never asked to be let in.

And there's no need for plastic balls to hang on the trailer hitch of my truck, but someone made them and people buy them in droves. Just because there is no need for a product doesn't mean someone won't make it.

And if they make it, some idiot will buy it.

Sometimes necessity is the mother of invention.
And sometimes it's the other way round.

Though ganking and piracy is not my flavor, were I in charge of the game I would make eye patches available only to players below -5 in security status and at -10 you get a parrot and if you want you can get a wooden peg leg too.

Why? Because. That's why. When you are dealing with pirates it's a mistake to require an explanation. You won't get one.
