CCP messed up new FW mechanics, Goons exploited for trillions if not quadrillions of profit ISK. And billions of LP
Really CCP decided it was an exploit ? DId you report yourselves

Again.
And CCP lets them stay.
And its directly because you cant afford to ban them.
Absolutely disgusting.
Consider me unsubbed.
Don't you unsub like every other week because goons did a thing? I can swear you said the same **** for burn jita and the gallente ice interdictions. He bought a 10 year sub and has to wait for it to run out.
Hmmm With all the ISK that goonies have made could they say they quit as well and keep playing for then next 10 years. Oh wait can you chain in multiple plex's and how many can you do ? Hmm makes you wonder.

I was already a trillionare even before this. I have only used plex for my subs for many years.
You didn't answer my question though. Can you enter multiple plex's one after another and not have to look at it for say 6 months or a year or ten years.
How many can you build up before the system says no more ?

I'm not a market guru what so ever, and even though someone said in here that the market would return to normal in 30 days, the whole system was manipulated, and this hurts innocent bystanders, whom will never get their ISK back.
Some time ago, I was holding a very large stash of Plasmoids. Then, some clown came along and bought all the plasmoids in Jita, relisted them considerably higher, and put up a big buy order that was well above what I had bought at. So naturally, I bombed out his order and put up my remaining plasmoids on sells at the price at which his buy order had been. Within a day, plenty of new Plasmoids orders had filled in below me, and the market tumbled.
Now, this guy tried to manipulate the system and got hurt. I'm pretty sure he never got the isk back, too.
The moral of the story here is that the market is PvP, and there are no innocent bystanders. If CCP elects for consequences, so be it, but your reason for them is laughable.
The interesting thing about the market is that the innocent bystanders aren't really effected by market manipulation at least not on a large scale. They may have to pay more for certain items but that is it cause they are not buy items in bulk.
Those that are playing the market may get crushed but that is what can happen when you play in any market. The more you have to lose the greater the risk.
Don't fly what you can't afford to lose can also be applied to using the markets as a cash cow. Don't invest in something if you can't afford to not make a profit on it.
Like any market if it is left alone it will settle out to a level that it can support. Sometimes those levels are higher then previous levels simply cause people are still willing to buy and sell at those levels.
The good thing about higher prices is that at first glance everyone is maker more, but the down side is that game play will stagnate cause people are spending more time trying to make ISK rather then spending it.
The good part is that players don't have to be dependent on the market for there goods they can go elsewhere for items. For instance alliances will become more integrated as they provide for there own and leave the rest rot.
Now that I think about it the ones most effected by the markets are the PvP alliances as they pay straight prices for everything. Those that have industrial backing will tend to continue enjoying the profits of selling off there extra's on the open market.
6 months from now things should be pretty interesting.

I never thought about it before. It also makes a good "goons control eve" song (and also does well when interpreted as an ironic commentary on tinfoilism).
Somebody said "Everybody Knows" in a thread not long ago and the song just popped in there. It is just too prefect for EVE in so many ways I just couldn't resist I finally found a Sig I will be keeping for a long time EVERYBODY KNOWS |
