So is it true it was reported to CCP?
Was it a genuine mistake and CCP did nothing?

Originally by: Inertial One thing amazes me.
People are crying because someone petitioned it when they first saw it, and CCP closed the petition without looking into it, which is bad. But you got to realise that they were probably drowning in petitions about towers at that time, because they had just recently been released. So its not unreasonable that they missed it.
Personally I just think it was a excuse for the exploiter, so he could say "I petitioned it and CCP didn't say it wasn't okay", altough anyone with half a braincell can see that it was a clear exploit.
Well RA exploited complexes for months and CCP didn't ban anyone even thought it was obviously an exploit to anyone with an IQ.

Originally by: thelung187 Interesting discussion going on in the trade channels atm (/me waves to "Minerals and Manufacturing"). Rumors are a dangerous thing of course, and are entirely speculative, but the rumor is that "some" T2 BPOs were purchased with the liquid capital from the reaction exploit, and are now effectively dead due to them being on permabanned accounts.
Can anyone from CCP speak on this, as to whether any of it is true? And if it IS true, will these BPOs be re-seeded, or are they permanently gone?
Well considering they were probably bought with ill gotten gains what can you do? You can't give them back and they don't reseed them.
They disappear same as those on inactive accounts and other banned players. Makes me giggle that all the whiners wanted them gone out of the game and said it wasn't fair. Now they're gone everyone is hoping they'll get a reseed. Hypocrites lol
My personal view is to do a char search of really active accounts of more than one year old and less than 3 years old and randomly seed them.

CCP will do very little, it would be inconsistent if they did. When the T20 incident blew up, all they did was remove some of the suspect BPOs, refused to investigate or reclaim any profits from those BPOs and related investment profits etc, refused (rightly/wrongly) to expose other CCP employees in said corp/alliance(and there were others) and investigate (publically) anything they also might have done.
CCP covered over the T20 thing months before it was discovered. Hence CCP created an internal affairs program which is being tested now.
CCP can either add to the disasters in the past or put them right.
What would you do now building up to a major retail release with a household name like Atari? It's not just credibility with the players on the line it's CCP's credibility as a leading brand on the line. This could hamper CCP growth, they have a good strong product and can try and break into the big time. If they fail they may not get another chance.
Ambulation is a launch pad for a new dynamic lighting technology. The company that created it is using EVE as a flagship. You don't want any negative press when launching your star product. In my opinion this is bigger than a few disgruntled players.

Edited by: Valan on 12/12/2008 08:23:53 I didn't agree with naming but I've changed my mind.
There are other posts on the net claiming BoB had a post set up for the exploit and then quickly changed it when the cat was out of the bag. KIA have been mentioned also.
CCP need to name who they have punished and cleared because if BoB and other golden boy organisations in the circle of jerk (IRC, EVE TV) 'are seen' to get away with anything again CCP won't have a reputation. CCP's integrity matters now you're getting into bed with Atari and other companies.
Banning a couple of mates is nothing compared to losing business in the long run. lets face it being jobless in Iceland at the moment isn't a barrell of laughs is it?
Ban them from EVE and give them a job ala Stavros lol

Another thing if people think they aren't affected by this what do you think is going to happen to the Tech3 release date that is supposed to coincide with the Atari release?
So thanks to those that have cheated you've dropped CCP right in it.
Even if they are mates and buddies ban them they haven't done CCP any favours. /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game four years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig |

An Exploid is an exploid if a GM say its an exploid, otherwise its game mechanik isnt it ?
In the case of Red Alliance and complexes they feigned ignorance and got away with it.
In this case keeping it a massive secret or continuing after you reported pretty much makes an exploit.
No dodging this bullet publically the only way is if CCP decides to let you off becuase they like you.

I can see how CCP would miss this and I want to see them deal with properly not use the CSM to fob us off. Carefull CCP or you will put a nail in that coffin as well.
I've seen people almost burn out playing this game trying to make money off POS chains only to see tons of hard work fail due to strange pricing that no one could possibly make a profit on.
If you cheat your scum, we all know EVE is a special game due to the work people put in. So all these off hand comments from people within suspect alliances belittling people who don't cheat serioulsy STFU you're on a loser. CCP holds the 0.0 population in high esteem as it illustrates the sandbox aspect. However, the 0.0 population constantly let down the population at large and CCP. You've pretty much got no in game respect at the moment. Which I know you don't care see below guess what niether do we I just assume everything that comes out your mouth now is *******s.
We see posts all the time where alliance members tell the soloers its an mmorpg. Guess what works both ways every action affects everyone else. It's only a game but after a pub meet in London and the fanfest I've pretty much come to the conclusion if you're an ******** in game you are out of game. I've yet to be proven wrong.
So give all the self righteous crap a rest. All the alliances are tainted if not now they have been in the past.
I hope CCP kicks ass and restores faith in the game by going through the alliances with a hatchet.

Bull**** we all benefitted from it. People have spent countless working hard to compete. People had fun doing it now they find out it was all pointless.
They then lose all that hard work when uber fleets of ships turn up. They defeat the first few fleets but the enemy has an unlimited rapid supply.
Stop trying to justify being a cheating bastard. People have no respect for any achievement they made legitmately. Even the honest players in the suspect alliances have lost out.

I'm happy with that they're looking back and banning those directly responsible.
Its not an exact science but the intention is there. All the exploiter supporting alts in here will be sweating :) /start sig I love old characters that post 'I've beeen playing the game four years' when I know their account has been sold on. /end sig |
