Never heard of spray paint ? I can spray paint my car any damned colour I want. I can even spray ’ Solonious wastes irretrievable seconds of my life with trivial objections’ down the side of it if I want.
The pedantic, condescending, and lawyer-esque responses to OP about what “available" means despite clarity of his request - that everything be available to buy - is the toxicity of Eve.
Why are any of you even arguing with him? You know what he meant. You owning it doesn’t make it available in his mind and you know that.
And once every other MMO game like World of Warcraft, Star citizen, BDO, and Guild wars 2 lets you customize and add and remove and paint anything in whatever pattern youd like to your belongings, you can come back to me and I will admit that EVE is behind everyone else.
Well of course, I mean it’s Eve…so the skill queue for painting your ship would be something like…
Level V Holding A Spray Can…22 days
Advanced Holding A Spray Can III…4 days
Infomorphic Colour Comprehension IV…16 days
Having a Tea Break II…4 days
Colour Scheme Dislike Shield V…24 days
Advanced Not Caring What Anyone Thinks Of Your Ship Colour III…6 days
We should all instead agree with the OP when they are wrong so they feel like the special snowflake they are, do we need to start issuing participation trophies aswell?
How does someone’s opinion get to be ‘wrong’ ? If I say I don’t like tomatoes, I am no more ‘wrong’ to not like them than you are to not like any food you don’t like. Or are you one of those people who thinks you are the only person entitled to an opinion ? That sort does seem rather prevalent on these forums.
Meh. CCP can either listen to their customers or not. The customer is king. I do not for one minute believe that those holding the market hostage with 9bn ISK Retribution skins represent even the tiniest slither of customers. The changes I want will happen. Get used to it.
Well, no. You can have an opinion and it could still be wrong. If someone says White people are better than Black people, it could be their opinion, but they would be wrong. You can have an opinion about anything, and you could be wrong about your opinion if it clashes with reality. Opinion just means “how I feel about something”.
Most of the customers here are not very receptive to your position.
I agree. And all those people holding ships hostage, like selling a Titan for 80 billion isk, are wrong!!! They should be selling titans for 100 isk so that I can afford it.
Come to think of it, my grocery store is holding food hostage by pricing a can of beans for $3.50. It should be 1 cent! Everything should be 1 cent so i can afford all of it. Otherwise, its being held hostage!
Nope…I see the complete reverse in your wild exaggerations and hyperbole and need to take every example to some extreme scenario…when all a customer wants to do is be able to paint their frikin ship, lol.
A closer analogy to your silly scenario would be a law preventing people from growing their own beans.
I can list my laptop, which cost 3000 dollars to buy, on ebay for 5,000 dollars. It will never sell, because no one will buy my laptop for that ridiculous price when they can pay 3000 and buy from the store directly.
But tomorrow, when a chip shortage causes a complete stop in all manufactured laptops, that lasts for 2, 3 years, then there are going to be people who pay 4000, 5000 for a laptop.
The market sets the price. If the person who lists the skin for 9bn never sells his skin, then he loses out on all the listing fees and is out isk. He essentially loses isk.
Theres nothing wrong with that.
A closer analogy to your silly opinion would be a law preventing people from making their own drugs.
The original opinion you had, of how the market is ridiculous and stupid for listing a skin for 9bn, or listing skins that you cannot currently obtain, is stupid.
Much like, how I cannot walk into a pharmacy and pick up a bottle of Percocets, without a prescription, is stupid.
Your solution, is therefore based off that stupidity.
Nope. It’s just your own personal opinion. Which a unit of measurement small enough has not yet been invented for me to indicate it’s value to me or contribution to the thread.
I mean, thats your opinion, and you’re entitled to it, but its still wrong
The skins are available, just not to you, this doesn’t change that they are still, infact, available, like, i get that its probably triggering your OCD something fierce that you’ll never be able to get it, but that doesn’t change objective reality
OP : “The items that are listed I can’t get them now ! This is not normal, I must have access to the skins listed wherever I am !”
PPL : “Place a buy order, check contracts, go on the forum”
OP : “No I can’t pay that much. They are too expensive !”
PPL : “Yes but you being poor does not make them not available”
OP : " YES if they are not available to me they are not available to nobody !"
PPL : “Well that is wrong, those skins I have some in cargo”
OP : “YOU CANT TELL ME MY OPINION IS WRONG ! How can you !”
PPL : “When your opinion requires or implies verifiable facts, then we can verify those facts. When they can’t be verified, your opinion is wrong. That is how we can.”
OP : “You are trying to derail the topic by answering the trivial question I asked ! I like tomato and you can’t say I’m wrong !”
OP then proceeds to make stupid analogies to change the goalpost and insult anybody who disagrees with him.
