Dear MA
How many years of running a MMORPG with a real cash economy will it take for you to understand the simple fact that forcefully breaking (nerfing) items your customers bought for their hard earned money (even if got for free as a gift) will only result in a MAJOR LOSS OF TRUST your customers put in the product (Entropia Universe) you are offering to them ?
Bad idea: Selling great looking fresh apples for 2 USD / kilogram, having a security guard catch the customer when he is on his way out of the store and take the apples from him, giving him the exact same amount of rotten, filled with worms apples.
Get it ???
That customer will never come to the store again.

The proper way if you really need to fix the vehicle crafting market which you broke by allowing planet owners to flood the market with free vehicles:
Leave all the already owned/purchased/traded units intact.
Stop giving them out for free to every new avatar (completely not caring about 100s of avatars made just for freebie vehicles).
Make new decaying versions.
Start giving out these new decaying versions.
But it affects me indirectly - i just can't look at how they run their business, at all the little and not so little ****ups.

I think all my vehicles are crafted, so it doesn't really affect me directly regardless if the decay is only applied to SI or also to TT.New Features
[*]Vehicles - Some vehicles now deteriorate when driven, this information is displayed in the vehicle’s item info panel. When a vehicle reaches minimum condition, the driver and all passengers will be ejected from the vehicle. These deterioration changes have been applied thus far to rookie, gift and other specialty vehicles, in order to ensure that Limited vehicles are indeed Limited and do not last indefinitely.
