It took Five Goon market heroes (and 5 trillion ISK) to prove the point beyond a shadow of a doubt, saving the economy from months and years of horrible people stabbing it repeatedly for less money at a time, but more money overall.

Personally, I think they should get a statue put in orbit around Jita 4-4 undock celebrating their economics wizardry, but that's just me.



O thank you sooo much for saving us from future pain and suffering in the market, o and carefull not to step in the bullshit

What happened is a failure to measure scale and willingness to exploit by players.
It is no bigger, on a proper weighted comparison, to the loopholes in the US tax code: And those are lasting quite a bit.

It was an exploit plain and simple. They're may have been lots of poor and unthought out programming that allowed said exploit to be profitable, but that doesn't change it from being an exploit. Collecting LP for items that did not get destroyed was unintended, which makes it an exploit. So any thing you do with that ill-gained lp, no matter how valid it is (i.e. market manipulation) you are still abusing an exploit.

If Goons would of done everything they did, without farming months worth of exploited LP before it got patched, you guys would be sitting on even more money than you are now. I imagine CCP wouldn't have taken back your ill-gained isk, because it wouldn't of been ill-gained.

So get off your high-horse, goons didn't save Eve. You guys found an unintended mechanic and abused the sh*t out of it. You guys have been playing Eve long enough to know what you were doing was wrong. A mature, responsible adult would of found the exploit, done it one or two more times to make sure it is repeatable, then QUIT ******* CHEATING and created a petition. You guys instead decided to continue to cheat until it was hardwired into the game that you cannot. When I play Monopoly and I am banker, just because I can steal 100's doesn't mean I do. Just because you can abuse an unintended mechanic doesn't mean you should.

Was there a point to that gibberish?


Yep, it's an alt trying to covertly rail against the decision made by CCP to classify the LP Exploit as an exploit. In a game where people complain and moan if there is no new content released each week, this is a complaint by those who feel slighted bu that decision, saying that its CCP's fault for not finding this exploit before they did as they exploited it.

Lets get this straight, the LP gained on destruction of a ship based on its value was NOT a bug or an exploit, If you cant understand this you are ignorant.

It was how ever a bad design idea. Add on to this manipulation of markets and there will be problems.

Bottom line is, love the goons or hate the goons they brought a huge problem in to the spotlight.

Seems like the goons actually did the most to bring this problem to light, as opposed to random people crying.

Besides the only gain they will end up getting from all of this... is a plex or two. So they spent a HUGE chunk of time to come out a plex or two ahead, when you could have been playing the game and gained much more.
