Tell us more about this ... "epic fail".

Just re-read the first post in this thread Roll

I'm not understanding what the "epic fail" is there. Please elucidate.

What's there to explain?

How about "what the ... 'epic fail' is"?

so? Where is the Dev post that says: "Using Macro to acquire large stacks of items you otherwise need 14 hours of clicking for is allowed?"

I guess you didn't scroll down and read the quote, then, because it outlines precisely what is and isn't allowed?

You mean the GM saying:

"If Synergy was used in some way to control your accounts for you without a need for you to be at your keyboard, then that would not be allowed,"

fits perfectly here:
guy uses a macro for not sitting at his keyboard clicking for 14 hours....

thanks Sir

See... a Goon posted, therefore.

Its not really a perfect judgement because obviously automating a mouse click followed by a "enter" is not really complex - but it is automating a process that would not require you to be at your keyboard for 14 hours.

Macros that slow down acquisition are within the rules. Also goons saying they use macros isn't exactly proof..

Thank you for a couple hours of interesting reading. corestwo had been acting even slyer than usual in -lounge so I figured something was still up. :-)

I'm not going to weigh in on either side. I made it very clear a while back that I've had my experience with SA back in SL, and the rest of y'all can duke it out this time. :-p

I *am* waiting to see what Screegs will say though. *That* will be a popcorn moment for sure, forget this here.

I constantly troll him for hanging in that terrible channel. However, it's been pretty funny at times getting the running commentary when we go after one of the scc residents and get live feedback in there. So I guess him hanging there brings some value.

I wish I could report people for using "epic fail". Oh well, I guess I'll just have to settle for trolling, contentless posts, going off topic and inciting others to go offtopic as well.

Dearest Market-Interested Space Tycoons,

At downtime today we made an adjustment to the average price of some items in order to curb a situation whereby the average price of an item could be manipulated in order to create a disparity between the value of an item in Isk and its value in Loyalty Point payouts. There will be additional changes in how this system works in the future. We will be monitoring for attempted manipulation of the LP market and will reverse any proceeds deemed to have been obtained through manipulative means. We are watching you. Don’t be That Guy.

By way of explanation we addressed the manipulation issue but haven't yet completed the investigation into the scope of the abuse. Once that happens I'm pretty sure some people are going to be a bit less smug about the money they made that one time when there was a bank error in their favor and then lost again when the bank fixed the glitch.

Public threats without public execution is shameful. I want to see the equivilant of the goon's being put in the stocks on public display so I can throw rotten fruit at them. I'd like to see a Concord wanted page added to main page. This page should have the names of EVE Criminals, how much they duped/exploited in ISK and their punishment on public display. Sort of like the criminal photos you see in your hometown newspaper. It would be fitting since they like to rub CCP's mistakes in their face.

On another note: Kudos to the genius that thought this plan up. Requires planning on a scale not typically used outside corporate or military circles.

Instead of swimming in their pile of isk the size of Mt. Everest they'll just have to settle for the Matterhorn.
