Hats off for working out the intricacies of the exploit, but why make yourself look like a douchbag with the anti-semitic language? Jewbal? "biggest jew haul"? . Dickhead.

We're following in the time honored jewish tradition of claiming biblical rights to exploitation and manipulation of a minority populace's goods, people and homes.

The edge is REALLY hard to see at times but it DOES exist and in this case we were looking at a situation where a new feature created for all of our customers was being virtually curbstomped by five of them

It isn't a slander, it's the name we refer to a group of 8 guys within Goons. A hybrid of jewish+cabal. The greater economic focused group is referred to as gs_isk. I am not sure how you arrived at haul at all.

I find it amazing that there are some people out there with this amount of intellect that would waste there time just to screw over a game, when it can be done to make REAL money!!


Please tell me that the people that did this are in RL rich and powerful people! If not you dam well should be! Shocked

While i don't like the fact that you did screw over the game for many people i must take my hat off to you for doing this. Well done goons, well done Lol



We make a joke about it a lot, but it is true. The upper echelon of Goonswarm is filled with lawyers, engineers and other high paying successful fields. Myself included. EVE is simply a hobby that allows one to scratch a very special itch.

how so?

sounds like goons removed some ISK from the economy and blew up large stacks of high-ends.

everybody involved in this loves to mock VV, if you know anything about the market reading his stuff and realizing he's 100% serious is the most hilarious thing ever

I like how now CCP is looking into taking action against Goons for blowing up their own **** for which they willingly paid too much. Roll

Okay, If that is the case then I unreservedly retract my objections and post. Apologies. However you have to admit to the uninitiated the term Jewbal and the sentance "But it will still end up being the biggest jew haul of a new game system since PI, and it beats PI hands down." might look a just little anti -semetic.

It would be hilarious if that did indeed lead to a mineral peak, due to the wrong reasons entirely.

This is probably the most succinct explanation of this. It's basically just old school insurance fraud + forex + manipulation

That term has longstanding use in MMOs to mean someone who makes money, you know.
