US mutant pack shafts Europeans?

It took me ages to compose that thread title lol.

I tried to buy the Mutant pack just now, but even though i play on the US servers and have been able to buy US versions of every other CoH/V software dl and extra pack, the store page i get directed to only has EUR versions of the mutant pack. Things like the actual CoH game etc still have the 'US version also available' link underneath them, but not for the mutant pack.

Anyone else living in Europe but playing on the US servers have this issue, and have you found a solution if so?

Thank you.

I also found another solution by dint of being impatient and unconcerned about potentially wasting money. I clicked the 'Buy now' link for the European version, and was taken to a page where i had to choose my account. Since I only have one account, the US-server one, when i clicked it, the payment switched to dollars and (I assume) I bought the US version of the pack and not the EUR one. Ingame, the pack works.

Which to me is an idiotic way of doing it. Why they even specify EUR or US versions on the initial page when the next one automatically detects which version you want to buy is utterly braindead. Idiots.

But that's a way to do it, anyway.

It seems the latest fix they have done to the store.

The addons/packs now redirect to the a 'select your account' page, dispite the original (US or EU) product page you came from.

Downside, USD is cheaper for me, so basicly my EU accounts are even more expensive

HOWEVER, the system does NOT check if you already upgraded your account with a certain booster (its shown in your payment list as 'perk'), thus you can buy the mutant pack 10 times in a row (and pay for it), upgrading the same account 10 times in a row.. and the system doesnt warn you about it.

Why would I want to buy a booster pack more than once?
