Why don't they just move the Europe higher enough? It's terrible. 17500 in June is awful.

So no movement at all for Oceania?

Nope, it goes around this FY. Also OC is in a pretty good shape already. They don't need much more. 2025OC1550 cutoff is an equivalent of 2024OC1980.

I don’t know what FY is. Is that it for the rest of Oceania or can we expect to see more movement in upcoming releases? Oc18xx here

You have some chance Mijoro. I'm expecting/hoping to see at least OC1900, but that assumes they will at least take all the OC quota.
