Edit: Yes, I intend to spend my 100b on civilian fit Dramiels, as they are the height of conspicuous consumption.
Speaking as someone who did Angel missions in June, I approve of this Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Did CCP reverse the transactions when P.I. was introduced, and a not entirely dissimilar "feature" - of which they were also pre-warned - led to people making sums of ISK in the same league? (Albeit the total was spread out over more players)
IIRC they only reversed those made AFTER the publications of the exploit notice. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

If CCP remove the profits of this venture from Goons, will they also retroactively remove the profits from the guy who posted about how he built tens of thousands of battleships, insured them and then destroyed them for a profit? (this was before the insurance nerf)
How about the people who made obscene profits (possibly totally even more than 5Tn) from the horribly botched P.I. introduction?
What about the BoB members who used to rake in billions a week using titans to bridge freighter-loads of NPC goods from Delve for unbelievable profits?

Xython wrote:I really don't envy the CCP team right now. On the one hand, the temptation to do something is outrageous I'm sure. On the other hand, technically speaking Aryth and the rest of the Economic specialists in Goonswarm did absolutely nothing wrong, they just happened to do this absolutely nothing wrong to an unhealthy extreme. Or, if you prefer, a "Goonish" extreme.
On the other hand, 5 Trillion ISK isn't that much -- that's what, 2, 3 months of Goonswarm's income? I had originally heard that it was 1 Quadrillion (1000 Trillion) ISK, which gave me the strangest feeling in my happy spot.
As an aside: It's kinda funny, but I'm pretty sure Goonswarm "employs" more Economics Majors than CCP does. ;)
Q: How many economics majors does it take to listen to a player who, with facts and figures laid out, points out that a proposed mechanism change could lead to extreme results
A: At least one more than CCP employ, since we've been through this whole thing at least 4 times already that I know of, and almost certainly several times more.
Seriously, the only thing different about this event is that it was specifically goons who benefitted.
And, well... since everyone knows that goonies are naughty bad wrong, then it's obvious that they need to be punished. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

This has worked really well in the past, I hear.

The next time the Jewcabal finds a loophole they will run it on a scale many orders of magnitude greater than this little escapade, definitely not tell CCP about it, and come as close to destroying the Eve economy for a very long time.
And presumably use NPC alts.
Or Eve University alts.... Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.
