Why do people scream "SCAM!" for stuff like this? I seriously doubt CCP sold any more PLEX just because people wanted to buy a card through them. Not when you can buy a better card online through Newegg for half the price of the PLEX.

Use your brain people.

If CCP wanted a fair thing, they would have created a pool with people interessed in the deal, where players would commit the plexes under CCP guard until CCP chosed who would get the cards.

CCP would then randomly pick 100 people and cash in their plexes, unlocking other player's PLEXES.

That would make sense though, thus is impossible to happen. Its only logical.

It took about 1-2 minutes for those PLEX to disappear.

Someone in CCP is probably counting how much money they could make if they make this permanent system. Cool

Yeah, if someone purchased PLEX for this, that was a bad decision.
But, if you are good at making ISK in game, it was a way to turn that into a real world item without the risk of RMT.

Auto fill?

Hell I filled the form manually, and even hade to replace 2x Ä and 1x Ö since swedish letters were not allowed in the form and still had time to get one of the cards.

Maybe it's my monocle that gave me a priority in the send queue, I knew it would be good for something.
