A so called $9k Revenant would have just costed $125. Limit of $20 for 12 PLEX? How many people just made new paypals and amazon accts?

well, apparently they are refunded 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 Twisted


How do you refund plex that has been put into the game and sold?

eve reddit has a post saying that amazon is only letting you redeem the first 4 sets, and any purchases above were refunded, so that's what i was going off of, hence the word 'apparently'.


yes 4 per linked account so you just link to another account, 4 more and so on

ah, i've never purchased through amazon, so no idea how that works.

do you have to link your eve account to the amazon account, and then it automatically sends the plex to your redeem system?


yes, exactly, when you buy you link account by entering acct name and password. Items go directly into in game redeem system like christmas gifts etc

I just wonder why CCP keeps valuing US customers over EU/RU/AU customers. Doesnt look like good company practice to keep kicking such a large playerbase to their teeth.

I have a little over 500 plex in my Jita 4-4 hangar. I can't wait to see the prices when I get home tonight. Maybe we can push thema bit lower for more forum tears. Big smile

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Just think of it as a tax to pay to not live in the US, really you are getting a pretty good deal.

I think it is safe to say EvEs economy is now up for sale.

Why would anyone grind for anything at prices like that.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

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.

By undoing the transaction......

What probably happened is some Amazon employee read these forums, realized with so much extra isk being given away with GTCs they would never sell the Plexes they had purchased and decided to fire sale 90% of their stock.
