This puts it into perspective and makes it even funnier.

The devs are too busy laughing at this complaint to type anything coherent.

Lowing the supply of rare ores and increasing its price by 20%-30% is one thing, but artificially implementing a change that deprives hundreds of investors by negative 10,000% return, is far from being "just."

Once again, Dev response to this would be much appreciated.

blah blah blah.

you got owned son because you are a goddamned idiot

unfortunately, the devs probably aren't supposed to be explicit about that

But you gotta admit, my idiocy is nothing compared to the level of idiocy exhibited by the Great Mittani, your Dear Leader.

I had nothing against NEX Store until several of the items that I've purchased for hundreds of millions in ISK, were being sold for $0.50 cents upon the recent patch on NEX.

you gotta admit, The Mittani has made some pretty decent financial decisions compared to you considering that he's, well, set for life at 30

So as long as it was profitable to you, everything was fine? And once that changed it was suddenly not ok?

Also, the limited offer referred to the cheap PLEX and not the shirt (which you got for free) which is why people here do not understand your complaint. Now, if the offer had said that you would be getting a one off shirt that was only ever going to be available by taking advantage of that particular promotion, then you would have cause for complaint. As it stands your arguments and complaints are invalid.

But you gotta admit, my idiocy is nothing compared to the level of idiocy exhibited by the Great Mittani, your Dear Leader.

a person of mediocre intellect

How many times are you going to repeat the same bogus argument? Everyone here has examined the details of the offer, and you're the only one who seems to have gotten it all wrong.

There was absolutely no reason for me to purchase 13 X PLEXs all at once, but I did so, because of the compelling marketing tactic used by CCP.
.

Because of CCP's deceptive and ambiguous marketing scheme, many of us were compelled to purchase 13 X PLEXS with the expectation that CCP will hold these wordings including "one-time offer" true for the Shirt.

Except you forgot to take into account about my actual real-life financials. This is a pointless exercise.

no dear leader never spent $300 just to acquire virtual pants

i will take drunkenly making a fool of yourself over spending $300 on virtual pants any day of the week

Once again, if you have ever examined the wordings and the marketing gimmick that CCP used to advertise this deal where the ISHUKONE SPECIAL EDITION Shirt was issued, a person of mediocre intellect could've assumed that when reading the terms including "one-time offer," "special edition," "one-time only," one could have surely assumed that this was indeed, literally, a one-tine opportunity to acquire this highly collectible shirts. You are absolutely true that the shirt did not cost $260, but CCP surely used a "tie-in contract" to incentivize folks with additional disposable income, to dish out cash for PLEXs, by offering this purported unique items.

You claim that "I got 13 X PLEXs so I should not whine about it" That's not entirely true. Because of CCP's deceptive and ambiguous marketing scheme, many of us were compelled to purchase 13 X PLEXS with the expectation that CCP will hold these wordings including "one-time offer" true for the Shirt. You say we did not incur any costs because we got our PLEXs. There are costs to every transactions and we have incurred more costs than the price of PLEXs themselves. The postponement of purchase for other goods is one. The possibility of having to invest the $260 for additional interest rate is another. There was absolutely no reason for me to purchase 13 X PLEXs all at once, but I did so, because of the compelling and deceptive marketing tactic used my CCP.

What I am asking here, is a simple Dev response that pretty much provides explanation for their odd, cryptic, and deceptive marketing practices.

As mentioned by hundreds of commentators, I understand that I got "****** in every conceivable holes" by CCP.

CCP should provide us with clear message so that this kind of bullshit doesn't happen again... well unless this has been CCP's intention from the beginning.

I spent $260 to get a damn virtual shirt. I don't see anything wrong with that.

I spent $260 to get a damn virtual shirt. I don't see anything wrong with that. I am spending what I earned. Some spend it on hookers and enjoy a colorful concoction of STDs and Herpies. I spend it on nerdy items.

Why are you copy pasting a reply to a previous poster instead of reading what I wrote and responding accordingly? The error was yours, not CCP's. No-one has deprived you, deceived you or falsely advertised anything. The advert was quite clear, the shirt was a freebie and the offer was for the reduced price on the PLEX.

Also, please respond to the section of your post that I quoted and made a statement about. Thank you.

Hey, now he's claiming that the devs are privately taking his side via mails! Any more unverifiable claims you'd like to make?

Not really because the mail I just got back from one of the CCP Devs said he is "aware of the issue."

just because you don't understand why this is shameful doesn't mean the rest of us don't
