The Double Boost Bundle for 39.99 offers two cerebral accelerators. One of them is a Prototype, which is totally useless if your character is over 14 days old. No where in the information about the package does it state this, instead it misleads you to think that you will get two functional cerebral accelerators. CCP this is a poor business practice, at the minimum at least tell your customer exactly what they are getting, before they buy it.

Actually if you could read, you’d see it says it includes the Newb Starter pack.

And you could then just look at that pack to see what it does.

Oof. You thought it was a gotcha but then it just turns out you can’t read so good.

Sad for you ☹
