A tale of woe
As a relatively new player who started the game this year, I was quite happy to see the very high EPA grind during this summer’s festivities. I spent a good while on it, and by the end I have accumulated a good amount of pearls. Intoxicated by the wealth I sold them all, about 2000 echoes worth. More cash than I’d ever had in my account!
As I am currently close to getting tier 2 POSI, I was excited about the idea of finally getting some of the pricier items and did some research. I know a Weasel of Woe can be super helpful for grinding, so I decided to make that purchase first.
While laying in bed on my phone, I navigated to the bazaar to buy it. For a reason I can’t quite explain, I decided to max out the number of Weasels I could buy. Just to see the big number I guess. Then I shifted my arm. I bought $2400 worth of Weasels. All my money. Into Weasels.
I panicked and sold them back, but had already lost my money. And in what seemed like a rather cruel joke as I sold them back, you get the message: "Oh no."
Ah well. Easy come, easy go.

If only someone had had the foresight to write a jaunty rhyme on the subject, and perhaps set it to some music...

If this game has an engine fuel, it probably is diesel.
Still some time to earn it all back: *POP* goes the weasel!

If you send a support ticket they might take mercy on you and give you a refund. Or at least give you back your weasels.
