If some of these errors could happen in the USTZ..that would be nice

I think the errors with Amazon only ever benefit the USTZ dont they?

I could be wrong, but I thought these eve related products on Amazon could only be purchased in the U.S.

The platypus is a myth.

Ask an Australian if they've ever seen one and the answer will always be the same. "Sure mate. In the zoo".

Never in the wild...
Actually, I have. The platypus is very real, and so is the dropbear.

It's not as bad as it sounds. Ever heard the myth that goes something like "you eat x amount of spiders per year in your sleep?" In Australia you eat that many per night, so the locals build up a bit of an immunity to poisons and venom.

Oh yeah, dropbears are real enough. Never camp under a tree.

I tell tourists that often.

The platypus though. Bunyips are more real.

I don't think it was a targeted effort to benefit North America as much as it was some NA Amazon guy getting it wrong.

I totally get what you (as an Aussie) have gone through.

Indeed, even (outside city centers at northern) Finland we have mosquitoes , those blood sucking monsters.

They don´t spread malaria or anything like that, but really might be a constant PAIN IN DA ARSE when camping at woods of our big forests (or when fishing at river or lake and it does not wind).

was it a real glitch? Or more like a deliberate discount on AUR on CCPs part, because of bad AUR sales?

"Noone wants our aurum, lets make it cheap and look like a mistake."

But thanks to all buyers, I guess market value for all the stuff from AUR shop is gonna plummet soon :)

But judging from raising dual char training someone will want to milk this and it is preparing to do it correctly.

There is no way CCP could possibly take this back. They don't have the power. Big smile


Ain´t it late time for some kind of revolting or complaining about it? Lol

Yea sure it tipped power balance of EvE, created new huge coalitions, and somehow all those few lucky (but now rich in EvE) managed to put all those who did not receive this offer now someway into disadvantage compared to those who did. Sure. Shocked


The last mistake that "tipped power balance of EvE, created new huge coalitions" And the bluedonuts, took 4 years to get corrected...... Technetium, So sacking off Team Greyscale did actualy help?

So... you REALLY think this will matter even a bit, have any effect on EvE? Co´mon, be real.

There already is established power blocks, none of these nerds (sorry Lol) stocking at Amazon, probably don´t still have enough ISK to even bribe anybody at their "coalition", if they have a clue how to even build one.

Remember, these are just some random guys we are talking about (sure, some might already be in big power block), most likely they wont have a clue what to do with all of that ISK.


Think most influence / effect on game that ISK could bring is if lots of Alpha-strike Tornados would start camping gates in high sec (hih sec?), blowing small industrials / miners into pieces for no reason.

These things happen every once in a while on Amazon. A couple of days ago my coworker was freaking out because some new Sony camera was on Amazon for 1/20 of the correct price. So he bought 20 of them.

Amazon cancelled all the orders within a couple of hours. Sony completely de-listed the item and later re-listed it at the correct price. No instant money was made.

I'm sure something similar happened here.

Why are you thanking CCP rather than Amazon? It was the latter that set the price, not the former.

If that is the case, think CCP should sue Amazon for millions, because those billions obviously cause unbalance in Force inside the sandbox.

Good. SW:ToR was awful anyway so at least that would make it interesting…

Australia is the land of toxins, poisons and horrible(1) weather(2).

Africa is the land of diseases and parasites.

As for other places in the world, Ireland doesn't have any native snakes, for example.
