At downtime today we made an adjustment to the average price of some items in order to curb a situation whereby the average price of an item could be manipulated in order to create a disparity between the value of an item in Isk and its value in Loyalty Point payouts. There will be additional changes in how this system works in the future. We will be monitoring for attempted manipulation of the LP market and will reverse any proceeds deemed to have been obtained through manipulative means. We are watching you. DonGÇÖt be That Guy.
By way of explanation we addressed the manipulation issue but haven't yet completed the investigation into the scope of the abuse. Once that happens I'm pretty sure some people are going to be a bit less smug about the money they made that one time when there was a bank error in their favor and then lost again when the bank fixed the glitch.
Empty threats, best threats!

Those assets/accounts are all acquired through abuse of the EULA by botting, or RMT, essentially he has grounds on the basis of the EULA to take action against those accounts. The Alliance Tournament is subject to whatever rules they want to make up.
There are no such rules or grounds here IMO. CCP designed the game, Goons played the game, in playing the game they made ISK, truly obscene amounts of ISK but they did so via the mechanics that CCP introduced into the game, I don't see how CCP can possibly justify taking the ISK or the assets/LP back.

That really does fall directly into the Eula clause quoted above. I mean lets be honest, it really does - you'd need a pretty top lawyer to argue your way out of that conviction.
If CCP coded Loyalty Point stores in a way that actually worked, by allowing you to select a box and to select the number of items you want then the keyboard would not be necessary. It's difficult to criticise them for using macros via a keyboard when the LP store is so badly designed and could be so easily fixed by CCP. |
