> [@Dark\_Magni](#): > > To operate in the business of limited edition assets, a company must consistently and reliably stick to the terms of its limited edition supply, it must also have trust in place with its customers. You’ve simply gotten confused here. CCP is not in the business of limited edition assets. CCP is in the business of marketing IP-related materials to a limited fanbase, and they try a number of ways to get those fans to open their wallets. One of those ways is setting up the “this is a one-time deal, you’ll miss out forever if you don’t buy now” sca… er, sale. CCP breaks their promises when they choose to, and they don’t really care, because very few of the incoming dollars go away when they break their promises. You have to read all of CCP’s promises and limits as having the little \* beside them, which reads: CCP promises to do X\* . . - \*Unless/until Hilmar needs a bigger boat. ---

Well @Twijn_Sunz …you were the one who said a forum users number of posts they have created indicated something significant…if you don’t want to talk about what you were talking about, then ok, your choice I suppose. You have made 3 topics in your 11 days on the forums. \o/ Even though one of them was locked for being a double-post, still that might indicate you are well on your way to becoming a prolific topic creator! Probably many reasons people make topics on forums, eh? Thoughts on a particular subject, of course, informing, asking something, RP, ERP, complaining about ganking, something they find interesting, complaining about something, buy/sell stuff, recruiting, more complaining, etc etc etc. Among the many there seem to be those who create a lot of Dunning-Kruger influenced topics. Certainly that won’t include you, I’m sure. ---

You desperation is now making you clutch at straws. The funny thing being, I dont think any one of us disagrees that CCP is greedy. You really have no idea how to gain support, so please, make ever more ridiculous flails. ---
