> [@Oskar\_Milde](#): > > Have they made any clear and unambiguous statements that things that will be “one-time only” that have since been reneged upon? I am on lunch break so no links but the police skins were advertised as “limited edition” & “last chance”. There have been several other betrayals regarding this. CCP once compensated players with a coat but they’ve since become apologetic over their limited edditon scams. Eve online digital assets are hot garbage that will be dumped in value on a whim, only a fool would be enticed by Eve online IP with CCP’s terra bad history. ---

Calling sinking values of eve IP a scam nowadays does not wash with me since police skin re-release. Everyone but the newest players should know Eve IP is hot garbage & you should not be paying $ or plex for stuff that will be given out for free in drops, Christmas gifts or daily logins at a later date. ---

Ahh yes, hands up who hoarded those NEX goggles and items thinking they were going to be limited or unique and used with WIS? Yup, they promptly cancelled WIS and then started selling duplicates cheaper of those items thus tanking the value and uniqueness. ---

No, the police skins were advertised as no longer being available in the store, not as limited editions. So your misconception there is the problem, not CCP. There’s a whole Reddit thread on this. I can’t find any reference to the AT ship prizes being one run ever, though I hardly think releasing a second batch of 50 over… 17 years? is a radical scam. ---

Stfu, police skins were advertised as “limited time only” & “last chance”. They are neither limited time only or last chance or issue. CCP lied & now their IP sales died. The writing is on the wall CCP IP, is hot garbage, spread the word only a fool would buy. ---

At no point in the announcement of skins do CCP say they are one-time available. > **[New Yoiul Star SKIN Added | EVE Online](https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/new-yoiul-star-skin-added)** > > Available until 7 Jan > **[New Eden Store - More Police SKINs Available! | EVE Online](https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/new-eden-store-more-police-skins-available)** > > Check out this article for details of the release of more Police SKINs for Gallente hulls! > **[New Eden Store - Emperor Bear SKINs Available For Selected Hulls! | EVE Online](https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/new-eden-store-emperor-bear-skins-available-for-selected-hulls)** > > Take a look at this news item for details of new Emperor Bear SKINs that are now available for selected hulls in the New Eden Store!

Last chance at that time. It’s marketing. If you were a serious investor, you’d be paying attention to what they are saying, and making your purchases accordingly. If you are simply collecting the skins, then knowing when the opportunity will be lost for a time will be equally important. This whole thread boils down to people being annoyed that they didn’t do the research. Le sigh. ---

You are correct, the research has now been done. CCP is not a reputable trader of limited edition digital assets. Eve digital IP is hot garbage & will only diminish in value. Definitely don’t pay dollar, don’t pay Plex, I’d even be hesitant in paying ISK for something that will likely be given away for free in the near future. Thank you for coming to my TED talk, ISD & r/eve mods if you could please sticky this post I’m sure it will diminish future but blast from newer players who were dumb enough to buy eve IP assets. ---

Im sorry you fail to understand how illustrative examples work. Your failure to grasp the concept doesnt make it a strawman. I also think you arent quite sure (like many here) what a strawman argument actually is. The case has been made: Companies are untrustworthy AND Last Chance to buy means it wont be available tomorrow. Making the assumption that it will never be available again to come to the conclusion that CCP is intentionally scamming people is in fact, the strawman argument here. ---

My understanding of something I didnt mention is irrelevent. But youve piqued my interest so lets go there. My understanding of Limited Edition is that its a marketting buzzphrase used to convince people of low willpower and high anxiety that the item will not be available to purchase ever again after a period of time. Its designed to hark to things like 1st Edition books. However, all items ever produced are “limited edition” and the phrase Limited Edition holds as much legal weight as the phrase “Collector’s Edition” or “Great Value” or “By Grobtharr’s Hammer What A Savings” ---

Well, I’m sure you’ve heard of Franklin Mint. There’s a few different companies like that which have sold Limited Edition Collector’s Items. Basically only a set amount of production castings would be available for a set amount of time. I don’t know if any of their items have ever been reissued. ---

> [@Dark\_Magni](#): > > I noticed that CCP is trying to get into the business of selling unique/limited edition assets for money That’s a good business.

In the case of numbered, certificated physical items, the company is at least going to the effort to place an individuality on each item. (Until recently such numbering was impossible digitally) But perhaps youve seen candy bars and chips flavours these days also marked “Limited Edition”? It still however exists as a marketting mechanism to make the item appear as if its value will at least not depreciate. It should also be noted that I did ask you about this whole thing first; I would take your expert view on it regarding if items were issued on the promise of not being reissued, and if, as a collector, such a promise affected your interest and what you were willing to pay. My theory is that any such promise did not affect your interest; you would have bought the item regardless of any perceived rarity status in the future is what I would guess if asked. ---
