What's in it

Whos getting it?

I would have done if they didnt shaft the price

$150 = around 110euro which = around -ú90 quid

EDIT: https://store.eve.com/collector-s-edition/eve-the-second-decade-collector-s-edition-116

Get it from amazon usa = -ú75

Why are Australians forced to pay in Euro? You know we have our own money right?

Kangaroo nuts aren't easily converted to other forms of cash...

I could understand if it was "Blah blah's X", but tieing the entire amarr racial set of BPOs to a $150 box is a poor move.

Luckily the AU dollar converts very neatly to US currency, to that point that converting to a different currency to buy goods available in USD seems nonsensical.

I can buy EVE game time though paypal, etc. Sony rips me off on merc packs but I manage to put up with it. Now I'm being forced to convert currency in a way that makes no sense (unless greed is good). As someone who plays EVE and Dust I'd like to buy one of these but I honestly don't see that happening under these conditions.

The book is about 90$ alone.

PLEX maybe i viable option for it, in which case that's how i'll pay for mine.

Noc, do you understand basic business techniques?

Point is I don't want the book. And the reason they are bundled together is specifically to bait the people who want one or the other, not make it cheaper for those who want both.

Bait is bait. If you don't bite, they don't get paid. Bear in mind this pack is celebrating Eve's decade, not Dust. You could also see the Dust stuff as incentives for the long-term Eve players to try out CCP's New Thing.

Looking at the bigger picture we're all going to have to grow out of the I Want All Of The Things mentality because just like Eve, as the game grows older there will be rares and limited editions and prestige items everywhere, and we won't be able to get them all just by grinding out instant battles. Let the Eve players have their celebration suits, then nod respectfully in Dust as you blow them away because they're more used to clicking on buttons than playing a shooter.

Look at the EVE items. They are all one-shot variants. The DUST stuff represents and entire RACE. That's not proper IMO, unless it is not exclusive.

Bad for the game. Bad for the gamebadforthegamebadforthegamebadforthegame... *hugs knees and rocks uncomfortably on his chair*

My comment is solely focused on calling it THE Amarr Dropsuit. A special edition Amarr dropsuit would both be shinier and less offensive to my inner RP nerd.

I don't necessarily need my BPO Shotgun to have the 'Daemon' prefix. I don't necessarily have to get a 'Templar' Dropsuit. But if the stats on that are better than what I get from a new pack that's available on PSN (even though I'll be shafted because NZ and Aus prices on PSn are stupidly high for no reason), I'm not going to be happy.

Could do with a Dev to answer this question

The Templar suits which are BPO, are they milita/basic/adv/proto statswise or are they unique?

Don't fret, it's just a side effect of being at the early stages of a game with an economist pulling the strings and a ten year roadmap. Right now they're seeding our inventories with a) Stuff we don't personally need and b) Limited edition/rare items that not everyone will be able to get hold of. The fun really starts when we switch to the next stage and Dust trading opens up. Now we have a situation where I, an owner of one fine Daemon Shotgun BPO (you should try it it's amazing!!!!! (it's just a standard shotgun and doesn't even have a custom skin)), and you, someone jonesing to get hold of it. That's where the magic happens.

If Everyone Had Everything the high level "How much is this rare item really worth?" metagame would only go as far as the plentiful Officer drops sitting in everyone's assets, and that's boring as hell.

I think we europeans are getting the worst of it. America $150, we 150 euro and that's not including the shipping costs.you can't say ow lets do 150 everywhere and expect people to pay for it. I won't buy anything untill they atleast correct that mistake.

Don't think it will. I could be wrong offcourse, however it does say on the bottom in small letters; For all deliveries in the European Union: All prices include VAT, excl. Shipping costs. In other words, we will be paying even more.

I could understand if it was "Blah blah's X", but tieing the entire amarr racial set of BPOs to a $150 box is a poor move.
