Stoffer aka CCPSoundwave Interview
In this interview at 6:40 he starts talking about faction warfare

"I kinda hope this goes terribly wrong"



This was one of my farming characters BIO's. Just incase CCP happened to look at him.
I felt it might get a laugh out of them. I hope stoffer is laughing his ass off right now.

The interesting thing about the market is that the innocent bystanders aren't really effected by market manipulation at least not on a large scale. They may have to pay more for certain items but that is it cause they are not buy items in bulk.

Those that are playing the market may get crushed but that is what can happen when you play in any market.
The more you have to lose the greater the risk.

Don't fly what you can't afford to lose can also be applied to using the markets as a cash cow.
Don't invest in something if you can't afford to not make a profit on it.

Like any market if it is left alone it will settle out to a level that it can support.
Sometimes those levels are higher then previous levels simply cause people are still willing to buy and sell at those levels.

The good thing about higher prices is that at first glance everyone is maker more, but the down side is that game play will stagnate cause people are spending more time trying to make ISK rather then spending it.

The good part is that players don't have to be dependent on the market for there goods they can go elsewhere for items.
For instance alliances will become more integrated as they provide for there own and leave the rest rot.

Now that I think about it the ones most effected by the markets are the PvP alliances as they pay straight prices for everything.
Those that have industrial backing will tend to continue enjoying the profits of selling off there extra's on the open market.
So in a odd way the Goon's are actually helping carebears make a bigger profit.

6 months from now things should be pretty interesting.

You're delusional. The only people "hurt" by this would be mission runner types who cash out in +5s or specific minmatar faction ships.

For everyone else who wants fleet stabbers or fleet tempests or cheapo +5s for their clones this was a net benefit.

It also removed a massive amount of minerals from speculative holdings and the markets, meaning a chunk of pre-dronepoo mineral stockpiles are gone now.

You're mad because goons did a thing, not because it actually "hurt" you.

Clever, in discovering the exploit.

Not so clever, in actually using the exploit in game, esp. with deliberate intent to ruin aspects of the game for other players, and requiring CCP to expend resources to undo the damage.

You are not the first players in the game to discover an exploit in the game, and you will certainly not be the last. There are always going to be design flaws and bugs in a system as complex as Eve has become. As responsible players, under the EULA, you are required to report such issues, not attempt to use them.

And, if your intent is simply to prove that an exploit will actually work, keep in mind that this is still a violation of the EULA and not too smart - just as attempting to prove in a Las Vegas casino that a sleight-of-hand trick will allow you cheat at cards isn't all that clever or smart.

If this had ended at discovering and reporting the exploit, you would deserve praise. By using the exploit, you have lowered yourself to being cheats, and it is rather sad that you actually feel good bragging about it.

I'd be rather surprised if CCP allows this to stand, unpunished. It would simply encourage more players to search for and use future exploits, some of which may have even more severe consequences and will certainly cost CCP resources, time and money to repair.

Sweet baby jesus can anyone see through this circle jerk?

No Bro, I'm not mad. I think you may need to go back to 3rd grade though, and learn how to extract tone out of piece of literature so you can once and for all learn to analyze the writers feelings, because you my friend fail at this.

You may roll your eyes, and that's fine with me, but this is my opinion, and if you don't like it, then you can move on to the next post in this epic thread. What basically occurred here was an exploit in a currency exchange. I don't know of any real world examples of such of a thing, but I would think that regulators would take note of it and take action. Even sue for restitution. Shouldn't that occur in a simulated economy where CCP is basically the Central Bank?

WEASOLIAR!

Hastily made changes to the game code to plug the exploit might cause CONCORD to relocate themselves to Goonswarm space until the conveniently destructive mistake, after a thorough investigation to the erratically behaving aforementioned installment, in the program code is found and returned to the previous state *suspicious glances*.
