That's the key, here, We Faction Five are being thrown under the bus to preserve the appearance that Goons do not actually run CCP. In fact, this entire thing was orchestrated with their approval and under their instruction.
Or, uh. Something.
You know, that sounds too dumb for even the "CCP is goons" crowd to try to claim. I guess that's why they're not here. . |

While the EULA may not, up until now CCP did. This is a change in the way they handled these alleged "exploits" so far, and that is in fact the whole reason for at least 130 of the existing pages in this thread (I forgot when reports of asset seizure were posted first).

I feel that taking away the ISK earned by Goons is a grave mistake. You may see it as an exploit, but I see it as an application of forethought, planning and execution.
Let them keep their ISK. Seriously. Case in point! But then again, of course one of Eve's better known scammers would agree with us, right? . |

If goons had been sensible enough to keep it private between CCP and select others then, they probably would of kept the lot, now I think they have forced their hand, and as a player of this game I expect the full punishment of banned accounts, else the only message that gets sent out is that if you get caught they take it back, the message should be you exploit you get banned. Same as bots.

You don't rob a bank, and then head over to the police station to give a three page report detailing EXACTLY how you bypassed the security...and expect to get away with it, do you? There was no risk, and infinite reward. Regardless of anything else, that reeks of exploitation, and at the very least is totally anti-EVE. |

An exploit is when you magically create something out of thin air like your 100M dollars - it didn't exist.
This wealth wasn't created by magic. There was a hypothesis, a plan and then its execution that worked legally within the bounds of CCP's game mechanics. CCP have already confirmed nothing that this so called "Jewbal" did was wrong.
And now that you are saying it's a crime to be too successful - pray tell where is that limit?
A one million ISK market manipulation? One billion? One hundred billion?
CCP were warned this could happen. Like most pre-patch feedback it was ignored and they were totally outplayed.
CCP are just trying to find a way to save face now. EVE shall be purged by fire - please Gods let them ALL burn in Jita. |

DISCLAIMER: I have never had any sort of interactions with any goon of any sort and thus I have no allegiance or bias for or against them.
Although I admire the incredible creativity and planning that went into this I feel that there are a certain amount of misconceptions in this thread. Some of the people involved are saying that they online got involved because they wanted to "show CCP the significance and scope of this problem". Although their intentions are proclaimed to be noble, is it not similar to robbing a bank at gunpoint to iterate their lax security? (yes it is an extreme example but it is still relevant). All in all actions were taken that according to the information I have seen from this thread were abusive and/or exploitive to the game and thus the involved parties should have to face the consequences and penalties of their actions. To refer back to my previous analogy, you still robbed a bank whether you were attempting to help them see the errors of their ways or not.
Thank you.

:sigh:
"wikipedia article" wrote:An exploit, in video games, is the use of a bug or design flaw including glitches, rates, hit boxes, or speed, etc. by a player to their advantage in a manner not intended by the game's designers.[1] It is often colloquially abbreviated sploit. Exploits have been classified as a form of cheating; however, the precise determination of what is or is not considered an exploit can be controversial. This debate stems from a number of factors but typically involves the argument that the issues are part of the game and require no changes or external programs to take advantage of them.

CCP Sreegs wrote: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.
CCP Sreegs wrote:You know we won't comment on individual items on this forum and we welcome you to do the same.
Some LP was seized from people who were abusing, and I do mean abusing, this mechanic in order to prevent a crash of the FW markets. It will stay that way until Monday at the earliest.
Nothing that's been printed by any news source is in any way accurate and any numbers that have been printed were made up by these "journalists".
CCP Sreegs wrote:I find it disturbing that you think you could exploit a system to print money and crash markets and we'd just be like "Oh haha those cards".
We haven't punished anyone to date. We haven't even decided if we will but boy howdy are we well within our rights to do so and I'm just astounded that I even have to explain that.

And don't forget that you're straight up not allowed to shoot at anyone under any circumstances in any one of them systems that the GMs have arbitrarily deemed to be "rookie systems" that have no kind of identifiable markings to them and aren't listed anywhere. |

Let discussions of if the group involved thought this was an exploit or not stop. The very first thing they did is define this as an exploit. Also remember that everything in EVE remains the property of CCP.
Likening this to robbing a bank isn't important, as robbing a bank would be acceptable in EVE. Duping items was something done in the past that was possible because of a failed game mechanic. It also didn't create ISK out of thin air, it did however, give people something to trade for ISK. Both cases are getting something of value (item to trade or LP to trade) by finding the hole in that game mechanic. Market Manipulation was the way that they increased the amount that this exploit was capable of returning in a short amount of time (get as much as you can before you get caught). If they got caught or handed themselves in is not relevant (although in most systems, coming clean usually means some leniency). |

Thanks Goons.
Feel free. Apparently smacking goonswarm over the head with a giant purple dildo has improved my standing in eve as one of eve's preeminent comedians.
I'd like to thank my fans for their kind words and evemails. I will, however, point out that the one from paint suggesting I 'dye in a fryer' might have done with a bit more revision before sending.
Or perhaps less vodka.

Yeah, CCP Sreegs already addressed that, suggesting that we use the interview as toilet paper.

In most other games I've played (alot of MMOs) cross teaming is banned because it drives people away from competitive play. I really don't give a fruit if it's banned or not in Eve, just using that for reference.
In most other games using an unintended design flaw to gain an advantage was not allowed. Again I don't care if this in Eve or not.
A combination of the two, killing your own alts to gain an uncompetitive edge whilst also manipulating the system is really shady and I haven't read the whole post, but I think makes most people want to see action taken against the offenders.
If you argue that pushing the edges and combining every possible exploit it fair because "it was allowed in the game" then I HOPE, you are in for a rude awakening, and that CCP does not allow that. |
