After a day of being confused to why my script was producing duplicated entries, i accidently discovered that the XML file entries are all random on the first call.

So if you are using the attribute refID as a marker for when pulling XML data beaware that the first call is random while the second call is in order; this is why it took me so long to find out the bug :(

Just remember it coming from CCP's DB and they don't use 'order by' on most of the SQL queries so like most DBs there isn't any ordering of the result set it's returned in the order they are found.
