Yes, they did. CREDD was a mere 2-3p in the beginning and Carbine didn't implement a CREDD cap (which I believe is 12) until after CREDD went live. I know a guy who bought 47 CREDD the first week before the cap was implemented and they let him keep it. He was then able to control the market until he quit the game with around 20 CREDD left. I know it doesn't make sense to buy up a whole ton of CREDD then quit the game entirely, but that's what people did. EDIT: Not to mention, Architect was extremely OP at launch and people made boat loads of plat just from vendoring their architect results, so again, yes, people were able to make that sort of money in the first couple days of early access.

This game is not EVE. Carbine is under no reason to put that on the market, unless it is part of the T&C... I will be honest I didn't read the T&C, who does, hopefully they wont turn me into a human cent-Ipad. So if they are not required to put that CREDD back into the market why would they it would dilute, they want at least a pool of people to buy CREDD with cash money. Remember this game is run by a company owned by a corporation that is wanting to make revenue and profit.

{| style="width: 100%;" IMHO, deleting CREDD is just blatantly anti-consumer, and I'll be shocked if they're desperate enough to do it. The last thing WildStar needs right now is the bad PR that would bring.

Comparing CREDD to gift cards makes things interesting. In California, where Carbine is based, gift cards cannot expire according to state law http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/legal_guides/s-11.shtml

So Carbine doesn't get money until the $ buyer binds, gifts or sells the CREDD or until I the gold buyer Redeem it? Lol if it has to be used the way I'm thinking then it could take Carbine anywhere from 1 year to 3 years and 9 months to get the money from my 12th CREDD depending how much I milk that 90 day window.. Which would really suck for them.

Agreed, after all someone paid rl money for that CREDD initially, if the laws of supply and demand resulted in an item selling for 2p three months ago compared to 6-7p now, such is the market system. Where's all the threads decrying the fact Trigger Fingers is hovering around 1.5p now compared to 20p+ back those same few months ago and THAT was directly the fault of a screwed up loot system/table. The idea that player A can drop $20 today and three months ago that $20 could be basically snuffed by the seller (Carbine) seems more than sleazy, it sounds damned near illegal despite whatever bullshit warnings/stipulations placed on said purchase. Imagine if your $20 mounts got deleted in WoW if you took a few months off.
