Thing is, its not massive, gaping holes in the product if it requires hardcore spreadsheet action and only a couple of people actually go that far.

In your case CCP should have listened to the ui change too, even if only the minority can't stand it.


People pointed out that the LP gain from cargo would be abused through market manipulation long before it was spreadsheetable (or released).

I think the Insurance nerf, the PI nerf and all the other nerfs on destroying your own stuff for profit were a pretty good warning.

And the POS bans and destruction were a good warning on not exploiting the game.

Don't you?


I think the loss of isk and assets was good warning

June 22, 2012 Never forget.

The death of the sandbox came as innocuously as it began. A group of enterprising individuals who examine patch notes and run spreadsheets and formulas found a way to get ahead of a poorly implemented feature on an upcoming patch. The Viking Gods of CCP hf saw fit to sacrifice innovation upon the altar of expediency.

Walls slammed into place and bars were erected. "You may go this far and no further," was the message. This bold and beautiful universe we live in became much smaller.

June 22, 2012 Never forget.



Whine, whine, whine some more. Your tears are delicious.

Are you saying that exploiting a vulnerability should be legal up and until CCP says no?


Yes that is what theyve been saying lol

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

no, CCP should release content when it's finished, been tested, and is actually ready for deployment to live servers.

FW having the potential to ruin the economy was pretty much fact.
the ui changes were a matter of personal taste.

i don't think you can really compare the two.

The warnings for this kind of behavior, profiting from destroying your own stuff were warnings for anyone to see.

The precedent is there for how this kind of blatant use of a bug, The POS scam. Anything more is too harsh anything less is too soft. If CCP don't want to be accused of favoratism they simply need to follow the precedent set for players in the past.

The bug was reported on SiSi, it was a known bug. They abused it, they should pay. It wasn't like they didn't know that this was a design flaw.

It was reported on SiSi. CCP let it enter the game unchanged. Therefore it should be safe to assume the CCP knew about it and decided they were Ok with it .

Otherwise, If they didn't know about it, it's their fault for not listening to SiSi feedback. If they weren't OK with it, it's their fault for letting it hit TQ.

Since CCP is the only one who can call something a design flaw, a mechanic which they know (or should know) about which reaches TQ must not be a design flaw.

My point is that CCP's incompetence is not something that players should be punished for (I mean, on top of having to deal with broken gameplay for years).

They did their diligence by telling CCP about it before it hit TQ. CCP's failure to act means that they should reap the rewards of preparation.

Had nobody warned CCP about this, I'd be singing a different tune.

We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question which divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.

You flew right over the part where CCP was warned about the problem before it hit TQ. That's kind of the whole ballgame. The players did their diligence by telling CCP about a thing. CCP ignored the players. The effects of the thing are on CCP's head.

Here's the deal. It's never their (CCP) fault that someone else exploits their design flaws as no game can be perfect. Sure it was a bad move for not fixing it but it still doesn't excuse the blatant exploiting of the system. You see unless you want to convince me the Goons have an IQ lower than 50 they shouldn't be excused for what they did. Anyone smarter than an inbred monkey would have known this would not be allowed, never does a game reward you for blowing up your own **** and most certainly not EVE.

So GOONS were knowingly abusing a design flaw for their profit and no such thing can nor should be accepted.

If you warn them about it, and they don't do anything about it, then it's clearly not a exploit, regardless of how much ISK you make off of it *cough*tech*cough*

If nobody had brought the design flaw to CCP's attention before it went live on TQ, you'd have a point.

Also, *cough*tech*cough*

CCP didn't need to fix it necessarily, just announce that it's an exploit until fixed (though they'd get an enforcement nightmare on their hands then).
