You would know from just reading this thread itā€™s $15 per month baseline, and probably also know that multi-month subs are lower than that baseline, yet you overshot even that. You should get receipts with the price you paid for every auto-renewal. Maybe Iā€™m just measuring people by my own standard again (which includes ability to remember numbers, manage personal finances, and being able to multiply by 3 with less than 10% deviation from correct answer), and forget that not everyone (especially you) is born to such greatness. After all things, it takes 10 seconds to do the check you neglected to do, proving lazyness and baseless posting. Maybe itā€™s time to stop? ---

Yes, CCP is dictating that you will need to pay attention to your characters and actually be tactical if if you want to play them. The loss of your characters insures the future of other players, which is worth the temporary loss of income if there was any. In all likelihood these characters were probably all soaking up plex. ---
