Refunds on Risian Weather Control Vessel?

I bought the Risian Weather Control Vessel in good fate after being in the game for over two years for the Console - Universal - Neutronic Eddy Generator. You ask 17.000 zen for it i got it on 'sale' for 4500 zen about 45 euro's. And in the time off les than a month you change the effect of the console to do way less damage. This is not the item i wanted or payed for! This is bait and switch.
But for me the worst thing is that i can't trust what i buy. I had my eye on two mudds bundles but spending that kinda cash would need me to trust you to keep the items as they are.
Please undo the nerfs and make my item as it was. Or if that is not an option refund the people that bought the ship.

    I understand that now that what you buy is not worth anything and you can change it when they want. I understand it was not a problem for two years and was ok to sell to me as it was. I understand that an item I bought is not as good so i can buy a new one. This was a bait and switch! I understand that you are not to be trusted.
    But don't worry i won't experience any more of your game. And no more money for me wil end up on your balance!

    I know they have the right to do that. That is why an item is based on trust. I buy somthing in good faith and they leave it as it was for two years before. If they put somthing in the store that you could not get for years at a premium you sould be able to expect it is the same two months after you buy it.

    If they changed it before that they put it in the mudd store that would have been transparent. Now it feels like a bait and switch. Here buy one of the 'best' EPG items in the game. Thanks for your money we rebalenced it you wanna buy the new best item? We can change it if we want too.

    So a refund as a show of good faith that the did not do this just to het money would have been in place to the people that bought an item because it was really good.

    And trust broken is very hard to fix.

    You are not entitled to keep a console in a broken state at the expense of the game's health simply because you paid money for it. There is no bait and switch. The console was becoming THE answer in all cases if you wanted to do science or anything EPG related and all MMOs will nerf things when items reach that level. Sucks if you use the item but it is what it is. This console has been out for over a year and trying to get a refund now after the fact is like buying an item, then going into a store a year later while a sale is going on then demanding a refund for the difference in price. You're not entitled to that. Just means now folks need to find another console to use if they don't like that one.

    No bait and switch? Thing been out for years not for sale. Get chance to buy it. Gets changed. Forum monitor says i'm not entitled to what i pay for. Just use another console if you don't like this one. I buy that one and you change it do i get the same response. Sucks to be me?
    I don't think i'll be taking that risk.

    OP, you got your answer from CS. You've given your reply here with your intentions. This is becoming nothing more than a rant thread bordering on flaming/trolling, which aren't allowed. /Rant
