nothing at all, actually.

but I may have had good notes on my account, as I had turned in a stack of ore I had found once that was clearly bugged. It was utterly massive, a 10+ digit number, no clue where it came from but it was under geometry and I found it by accident clicking the ground. I ended up leapfrogging that pile for 2 hours till I got it in a bank, made a ton of gold selling it, and then turned in the rest of it.

How did you get a good note if you sold enough of the bug to walk off rich?


Luck I'm thinking. I don't think they checked the logs, it was a pretty straightforward ticket. Lots of questions about where I found it and none about when I did, or what I did with it.

Also, bear in mind that this stack was ridiculously massive. I sold something like 1% of it, and got filthy rich off of that.

So devs can just spawn PLEX when they feel like it.

Interesting.

LOL at ore guy... When your pro you loose things like high grade crystals... Then they reimburse them for you in 0.0 and you asked to have them moved... then moved again... then moved again and you end up with three full sets cuz devs are derps.. lol

Not really. When you run a game I imagine it isn't all that hard to give away free game time. Its probably not something a dev can just do whenever they feel. Although im sure that wont stop you busting out your tin foil hat.

So is this a new policy? Kill a Bughunter/Dev get 2 plex? I hope so, otherwise CCP just rewarded some players for breaking the TOS. Good job invalidating the entire agreement.

Why was he carrying an Enigma? Was it an accident, or was he carrying it so it could be taken as an excuse to reward these players?

That was only against TOS if that Dev was doing his job... Also how could players know that was NOT part of new event - bugs coming to help sansha or something like that Roll

I agree with most of what you said, however why would they need to go through such an easily documentable and convoluted mechanic just to give away game time?

If they want to give away game time (as they have done in the past) they can run another event... or just simply add the time to a persons account.
