JITA – In what can only be described as the most expensive typographical error in New Eden history, a local capsuleer accidentally purchased 1,000 missile launchers instead of the 1,000 missiles they intended to buy, resulting in an 800 million ISK mistake that has since become the talk of the Jita undock.
The incident occurred when the pilot, who wished to remain anonymous, was restocking their Cormorant destroyer before heading out on a mission. After carefully comparing prices and navigating through the complex market interface, the pilot confidently clicked what they believed to be “EMP S” missiles.
“I could have sworn I clicked the right thing,” said the devastated pilot in a Reddit post that has since garnered over 80 upvotes. “Eight hundred million ISK. That’s my Titan funding. That’s my monthly PLEX budget. That’s my entire wallet after insurance payouts.”
Market analysts at the Jita Trading Channel were quick to respond, with one prominent trader noting that this is “literally the most EVE thing that’s ever happened.” Another commenter pointed out that the pilot could have simply bought from the “See Also” section where compatible modules are conveniently listed.
CCP Games has yet to comment on whether they will intervene, though sources close to the development team suggest they’re “still trying to figure out how to add a confirmation dialog that says ‘Are you sure you want to buy 1,000 launchers instead of ammo?'”
The pilot has since created a Change.org petition demanding that CONCORD implement a “Are You Really, Really Sure?” confirmation window for purchases over 100 million ISK.
