Enjoy FW without us propping you up. We appreciate helping lock all those people into a forever war with us. You did good work.
awww but they are all going to be gone 2 weeks after 1.1 hits and the defensive allies are nerfed. The forever war is going to be a pale shadow of a dead thing.

I don't really want to say just yet, but basically if you know you're using a system in a certain way in order to gain massive resources, whether you're taking advantage of a design flaw or not and whether we classify it as an exploit or not we're still well within our rights to fix the glitch. I'm not going to comment on what we do or don't do at this point because I don't prejudge the results of investigations.

okay it would have been in the early hours of wed morning so lets say so a day and a half ago (or two nights) - which in english means "a couple" ... sometimes Weasoliar you are so nitpicky its positively cringworthy.

Good to hear.
I pat the goons on the back for figuring out how to break the game, but outside of bragging rights on 'look what I did' this seems like it was an absolutely stupid use of resources.
If anyone thought CCP would turn a blind eye and treat billions, hundreds of billions or more isk injection as a 'oops water over the dam, better luck next time' situation they are truly naive.
-Burn billions or more of assets instead of opening a bug report to point out a broken game mechanic? CHECK
-laugh at the terribad minmatar for flying around looking for pew instead of doing really cool smart stuff like violating the EULA drawing CCP's attention and ire? CHECK
-backpedal and and say 'we didn't want that isk anyways' and tell everyone how it's a jersey *ahem* goon thing and no one will understand? PENDING
how the mighty have fallen. Goons used to be so edgy and relevant, now the best they can do is gloat about post patch bugs they capitalized on for a couple weeks.
pretty fail guys think of what isk you could have made on the long term with the assets you threw at this (and CCP would have actually let you keep it)
100billion in my wallet cheating that i'll eventually lose? Or 1billion in my wallet I got legit that i can now use to buy ships and pew?
I believe the old saying is "a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush"
oh well, one of the best lessons in life is figuring out the difference between when you can do a thing and when you should do a thing |

why are you goons incapable of understand that a couple = two whereas few and several tends to mean 3+
The original leak of your document was in the early hours of wed morning FYI
And for reference ... I made my isk by cashing out my loyalty points at the minmatar store when it hit tier 5 on saturday quite legally turning my points into datacores and fleet stabbers. At that point I had no idea whatsoever about your shennagins - it was just happy coincidence.
