60 plex for $100 USD

at 600 mill a plex so 36,000,000,000 isk.

I think that is a new record

360,000,000 isk per $1

LolLolLol

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

Hey everyone.

It appears that Amazon, who operate as a third party re-seller for some of our products, put the wrong price on a package of PLEX and then quickly pulled the offer once the error was discovered.

A few thousand extra PLEX are in circulation as a result which is not enough to cause any significant or lasting impact on the in-game markets.

There shouldn't be any fallout but we'll monitor the situation of course. If you or anyone you know has encountered any problems related to this incident, you are invited to file a support ticket.

For contractual reasons, we are unable to confirm or deny that goons run Amazon. However, cyber Monday deals are going to be great this year. Or so we 'hear'.

Since this deal was not available outside of the US, are you going to release cheap plexes to the non-US masses?
Because at the moment the US got a massive advantage (lol 2billion for 5 bucks)

To put it into perspective, "a few thousand" is about the size of the last real plex sale, if jita volume is any indicator. That didn't crash the economy, neither will this.


And y'all blaming this on CCP when Amazon were the sellers... You're dumb.


All my opinion, of course. :)

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.

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.
