Erotica 1 Krypteia Operations CODE. 1788	Posted - 2013.10.27 22:13:00 - [12] - Quote Hello there. I just looked at the news for Amazon. It looks like they are adding 1,000 new jobs and sales look good going into the holiday season. If by the economy being screwed you mean more people have jobs, I hope we keep getting screwed. See Bio for isk doubling rules. -áIf you didn't read bio, chances are you helped fund those who did.

polly papercut Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 21	Posted - 2013.10.27 22:20:00 - [14] - Quote As long as prices of plex goes back down. They should not be anywhere near 600 Mil. Dual Training should never have made a ***** change in the market. People are to ***** stupid to see that plex prices are way over what they should be..

Larg Kellein Agony Unleashed Agony Empire 45	Posted - 2013.10.27 22:21:00 - [19] - Quote Well, that's a hell of a deal, to put it mildly. Fail to see why there'd be speculation about bans, though. Surely Amazon paid CCP whatever their usual wholesale deal is, so the ones losing money would be Amazon.

Just wondering, how can they ban people for it? Isnt it a shop error and not a player exploit? I was too late i would have cashed out as well but damn social gatherings.
Zostera nul-li-fy Nulli Secunda 3	Posted - 2013.10.27 22:26:00 - [21] - Quote Good job CCP How about you **** up the economy a bit more, maybe some rare ship give-aways, maybe selling PLEX at low prices in US vs EU, maybe get a grip of yourselves and actually realise that your dumb decision making is screwing people over that invest time and money in this game. EvE is noted for it's economy, you have done just about pretty everything you can the last few weeks to demonstrate you have no idea how it works. How about another "yeah we're sorry, it won't happen again, we talked with the council etc etc bullshit post". Nobody believes you anymore, you are just another grabbing studio too busy skimming whatever you can off the top while you can and losing interest in the principles.
Kenneth Feld Habitual Euthanasia Pandemic Legion 9	Posted - 2013.10.27 22:28:00 - [22] - Quote It was a sale at Amazon, it said so clearly on the buy page Normal price $49.99, with a line thru it and $4.98 next to it

You do know banging plex into the system does not put new isk into the game hence it not really mattering. but good job in not knowing how eve works into getting trolled in to thinking eve markets are going to crash or whatever.

Herr Esiq Dirt Nap Squad 90	Posted - 2013.10.27 22:31:00 - [27] - Quote And why screwing over EU customers again with new PLEX deals for Americans only? Holy crap, its like they arent learning. You got so many international resellers use them, not Amazon every time.

It puts cheap isk into peoples pockets which has an obvious impact on balance

You summed it up pretty nicely..
Money Makin Mitch Paid in Full 201	Posted - 2013.10.27 22:39:00 - [30] - Quote well, apparently they are refunding all purchases above 4 sets, so the economy won't get hit too badly. still, 12 plex for 20 bucks, that's one hell of a deal. bunch of dudes are now 7bil richer or paid up for a full year. a bit jealous i missed the deal myself, but eh, i make that much in profit in one weekend anyways, so more beer money i guess
