Segments, but this is the MAJORITY. Most people seem to get paid per my original post. ---

> [@Sassari](#): > > Of course they should care if they feel it concerns them? CCP gets their money either way? What’s all the commotion about promo timings? 😂 😂 Yap just to yap these days. CCP has their marketing teams who do their research and whatnot. TONS of data you or me don’t have. This entire thread is based on feelings and not marketing data. ---

Of course I don’t have insights into their marketing or anything like that, but I do know when most people get paid, seems like they don’t. For someone that keeps saying this is a useless thread, you keep engaging in it. ---

Again, the MAJORITY of CCP’s customers don’t live in Europe. I know this, I’m usually playing during both EUTZ and USTZ. EUTZ is when I do PvE because there’s far, far fewer players than during USTZ. ---

Just curious: what prevents someone from putting away some money each payday and spending it later when there is a sale instead of wanting to spend right after payday? 🤔 ---

Nothing prevents people from doing that. There is two parts to this post I suppose, one I am personally dismayed and believe others are too (Could absolutely be wrong) and secondly providing feedback to CCP. Most companies like feedback as it helps carve out a direction to head towards, an issue to fix, or similar. But you are right people can of course set money aside for things, that’s not a new thing. The post is not really about that though, it’s about putting sales that end right before a lot of people get money and that it’s not a smart marketing decision. Cool for everyone that has and is able to maintain a budget or put money aside, but that’s a different matter to hitting the mark with marketing. 🙂 ---

> [@Sassari](#): > > 25th and 26th are by far the most common days where people on a monthly salary in Europe gets paid. Why the hell does CCP keep putting their sales up when PEOPLE DONT HAVE MONEY? CCP is in Europe too. CCP has employees who need to get paid. If CCP puts their sales up right before payday, CCP will have enough money to pay their employees! Pretty smart. 🤔 ---

> [@Mr\_Epeen](#): > > After decades of research by some the most notable scientists in the various astronomy disciplines, it was found that Europe is, in fact, the exact center of the universe. To get even more technical, within Europe, Britain is the center of the universe/world. Straight through Great Britain runs the the prime meridian which is undeniably the center of the earth. Alright we put the line there, but it still counts. It means we the British get to decide what time it is all over the world. The Germans don’t sit down for their lunch until we say it’s 1 o’clock!
