How long before they are exploiting a flaw in the Dust 514/EvE economy?

My guess is it is already going on.

Given past Goon history they'll announce the exploit to CCP before taking advantage of it, so keep your eyes open.

CCP has no sense of humour.

I dunno, I doubt the Goons will risk banning's from what would probably be a low yield exploit. Better to report it and keep in good with CCP and the CSM.

My question is, do you mean exploiting a flaw as in abusing a bug in game code to gain an unfair advantage, or abusing a flaw as in stealing an entire corps wallet.



The former, I doubt. The latter, I hope they are!

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

The Goon plan for world domination is proceeding according to plan and on schedule.

New developments in Great Britain will allow them to force CCP to compensate them for all the game time on their PLEX stash. CCP will be be unable to do so as they are financially tied up the Goon subsidiary WW publishing.

They will settle out of court for a majority share in the company which will position them to take control of the rest of Iceland. From there it is just a hop, skip, and jump to the IMF and....




pause for dramatic effect..........

Given past Goon history I expect they'll continue being Goons.

EDIT: though I wonder why their Dust brethren didn't go back to the Squad moniker as it seems it would fit that game perfectly.

Yes. The exact team of finance guru's that performed that exploit told CCP that it could be done before the FW changes happened. CCP ignored them (exactly like they did when Akita told CCP that Technetium would become the new bottleneck before the Dominion release).

CCP calls this stuff "metagaming" and does not ban anyone for doing it. Goons loudly and proudly broadcast that they are doing this stuff, and the stories they tell or make others tell are bringing in a lot of business for CCP. Also, it won't be low yield. Goons don't waste time with low-yield ventures unless they're doing it for reasons other than profit.
