CCP fails math (again).
So apparently a day or two after sending out a completely content-free email ad, CCP has now announced their two cool new ‘Phoenix’ packages:
- https://secure.eveonline.com/packs/details/?pack=ascendant-phoenix-pack
- https://secure.eveonline.com/packs/details/?pack=blazing-phoenix-pack
Ascendant Phoenix pack for $19.99 costs you as much as buying Omega for a month plus 110 Plex, but gives you about half the value of a month of Omega (and 10 fewer Plex).
Blazing Phoenix Pack costs the same as 1,340 Plex, worth 3.75 billion ISK, but gives you about 2 billion ISK worth of skill books and skins. You could easily sell 500 of those Plex, buy the included skillbooks, and have 840 Plex left to buy whatever skins you wanted (or other things more useful to you than skins).
Is there not a single person at CCP who has a clue? Who even comes up with these things and gets them implemented without undergoing at least minimal adult supervision? Or maybe they’ve just been watching Jita local for too long and figure “spam the scam, some sucker will buy it”.
It boggles the mind.
