We didn't really release any cheap PLEX...this was a short-lived mistake by a re-seller that nobody is planning to repeat intentionally.

And y'all blaming this on CCP when Amazon were the sellers... You're dumb.
All my opinion, of course. :)
We've had PLEX sales that have moved volumes far greater than tonight.

Maybe this is a good moment top drop Amazon as a reseller since its been bad news twice now.

Can we please have a "lowest price of the year" price matching guarantee for PLEX later this year, available just in the US? I mean if we were to have an accidental repeat, this would be funny.

PLEX was such a good idea
there was no way the system could be abused or go wrong
I know this because people kept explaining the intricacies of how it could never negatively impact the game

This again... Is it really too hard to believe it's Amazon screwing up in rolling a deal out?
The last PLEX sale, which hit the U.S. first and Europe a few days later, was an Amazon fulfillment thing, not a CCP thing. That one was Amazon not bothering to do a simultaneous roll-out.

All the cries of entitlement are bloody hilarious.
So you didn't get plex. Neither do I, life isn't fair and if you want to blame CCP for a resellers mistake then I guess your stuck believing the sun moves around the earth.
Just move on to another day of eve and go blow more ships up.

Some of us "mericans" saw a window of opportunity and took it.
I did, however, give all the PLEX away to my fellow UK friends because I know they would do the same for me

I'm guessing the new head marketing guy doesn't give a **** v0v. Probably that and all the new toxic EA blood is spilling over to the others there in Iceland...

30 Day Pilot's License Extension (PLEX) wrote:Giving players a more robust system to exchange game-time for ISK is something we also deem necessary as a result of abuse, exploitation, fraud and hard core companies trying to sell you ISK directly. In the end, this only hurts you the customer and therefore the universe of EVE.
We must continue to battle this and itGÇÿs time for a new strategy. We see what the secure trade of ETCs between players did and we want to investigate ways of making that easier by enable all players to trade amongst themselves directly. If the key to battling RMT is to allow players to casually and securely exchange gametime for ISK, thereby neutralizing RMT companies as a necessary supply, then that is an acceptable, necessary evil.
We ask you, "donGÇÿt hate, participate" in this endeavour.

It's part of the conspiracy !! (oh my, i never run out of **** to post with this xD)
Because of the stop of FoodStamps coming November,
the US gov told Amazon to sell PLEX cheaply so people will play EvE
instead of rioting on the streets, because they are hungry !!

A lot. They don't pay any god damn taxes, and all they are is parcel pushers moving stuff from people who can actually make it.

For reference, if anyone finds their accounts disabled due to this, then please file a support ticket to have the issue cleared up.
We are not banning people's accounts due to this, and any action taken against an account because of this issue has been triggered automatically due to our billing system being notified of a charge-back by the third party retailer.
If you find your EVE account locked down due to this, please file a support ticket under the billing category and the GM Team will be happy to help.
