If CCP continues to say "one-time" here and "limited-time" there, while having those goodies available for prices of *****, then the power of marketing diminishes and no one will eventually take CCP's marketing promotions seriously.
If you bought 13 PLEX just to obtain a shirt... then you sir, are an absolute moron. I am hoping that you bought the 13 PLEX for the 13 PLEX and the shirt was just a bonus. Looking at your whinging for the past 18 pages though, I am now quite certain you were after the interweb shirt  .
It's like every other marketing strategy out there: buy one, get one free; for a limited time only you also get this; call within the next 30 minutes and we'll throw in this piece of junk for free. It's called MARKETING and one thing CCP can always bank on is stupidity of people, no matter what the market share is.
So, why should CCP not take advantage of peoples stupidity and capitalise on it? People do it all the time, everywhere, in every way.
The funny thing is though, that you didn't even get ripped off. You just imagined that this was a special, one-time item. In fact, it was a one-time offer GÇô [b]referring to the 13 PLEX + shirt[b]. The "one-time" or "limited" had no relevance to the future availability of either PLEX or the shirt itself. You just imagined that part and are now calling it "word play" because your realised your stupidity in believing that this was a limited edition item, when it was never advertised as such.
If anything CCP should continue marketing in such a way because I am positive that there will always be lowest denominators in society that will do exactly what you have done and CCP will, and rightfully should, profit from it. Others will purchase the same shirt and sell it after a week to get even more profit out of it, because they were smart enough to realise that with ongoing upgrades and developments of the NEX store, any vanity item will become available and their value will drop.
I truly hope you donGÇÖt handle your own finances.
