Hard to understand why such a big seller was taken down so quickly. I thought CCP wanted to make money?

Yeah... you know there's a lot of things like that. The BPO selection is pretty small, and it's all restricted to pre-uprising suits/items. They released THREE more Caldari BPO suits with uprising while launching numerous new suits. Surely they realize there'd be a demand for other suits? That people play things other than Caldari? It seems odd from a marketing standpoint, considering Aurum items are their source of income.

Boosters already sell well, and Omega sold really well I bet. There've been many many posts about bringing Omega boosters back with nary a comment. Most people assumed we might see them again "limited", several weeks later. However, months have passed. So.... ? Yeah, I don't really understand it. The item exists. Art for a market splash-screen exists. Demand exists as many threads have shown. It's practically no effort or risk to put them back on the market. Very mysterious.

It is CCP's trump card; they will pull them out either during expansions or when they are in dire need of profit due to a bad financial period, etc.

Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1045	Posted - 2013.07.01 12:23:00 - [2] - Quote People already bought huge stacks of them before, so at this point it's basically that everyone who didn't or wasn't around back then is now at a disadvantage compared to them.

So for me they are within the confines of a GÇ£Love Hate RelationshipGÇ¥. True. I didn't know they were limited last time. If they're limited and reintroduced, I'd probably (sadly) be looking to how much I might to keep them running for quite awhile. The really sad part is that under "variants" there are 60 and 90 day versions of the Passive Omega booster. So, we might stock up on 30-day ones at a certain price only to have a 90-day one be a much better deal and get introduced shortly after.

Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1696	Posted - 2013.08.01 21:26:00 - [7] - Quote Been so long since these were sold...
Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1874	Posted - 2013.08.16 21:22:00 - [8] - Quote Wonder what happened with this...
Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1902	Posted - 2013.08.19 10:18:00 - [9] - Quote It's seems like forever-ago that they were actually sold now. I still feel robbed because the "limited time" message wasn't displayed in 480p.

I don't think of sales working like that normally.

I bought the omegas within five minutes they were added to market. And hated them from that moment... Next there would be Omega^2 +£berBoosters which all serious players would have to have active at all times... After a certain point(after 15-20 mil) you have your core skills up and you have your primary and secondary weapons and your suit to a point where your good and your need for skill points drops significantly. The better boosters would benefit newer players significantly especially early on in the game. Right, it eases the path from Academy to useful.

I go off on jobs and am gone for extended periods at time, and the OPB would be great to have for those times. It's a benefit for those deployed in the military situations! It's patriotic... for every country...
Zeylon Rho Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2410	Posted - 2013.09.25 00:51:00 - [17] - Quote Omega boosters once, for one week, forever ago. This isn't the sort of scarcity I thought they'd have. Instead, we get more Aurum versions of weapons we already have aurum versions of? Who is responsible for planning these releases?
