Surely you can see how a post by a developer which implies, even jokingly, that market manipulation is an exploit and against the EULA is a bad thing?

I hate people who get all butthurt when an official makes a joke. So we have to have a completely professional and serious-face relationship with CCP now?

Considering the nature of the subject - namely, the literal "sandboxiness" of the market as a whole in which many people make there eve-living - it's not unreasonable to get "butthurt" and want things to be made very clear.

If by butthurt, and professional, you mean, simply asking for clarification. I am 75% sure he was joking myself, but given they had expressed this exact statement in seriousness recently for a short period of time, it is not unreasonable to simply ask, "Hey man, lol right?"

How would this work for implants?
Is the price I see when the implant in in my hanger indicative of the actual value if I got podded once it was installed?

Is there a way to view these "Eve-wide" average prices?

he never posted anything about market manipulation. what his comment of the EULA and CCP Guard was to, was the gaming of an ingame calculation method of the amount of ISK or LP payed out to players. Manipulating something to game that system is clearly an exploit. but he never said anything that could be thought of as "any market manipulation is not allowed". so stop playing dumb and gtfo troll
