Good stuff
EDIT:
I would also like to know where all the generated isk went, as stated in the blog:
"Between 6 and 12 TRILLION isk has been gained from this exploit"
Just to put it into perspective, that is between 6,000 and 12,000 BILLION isk, enough to purchase and decently fit about:
- 1500 - 3000 carriers or...
- 750 - 1500 dreadnaughts or...
- 200 - 400 motherships or...
- 90 - 180 titans
Now i know there wasn't a single group of players that benefited from the exploit. But i want to know just how much effect it has had beyond the market. Lets guesstimate that 5% of the exploited materials went to a single alliance fighting another alliance and they utilized this slice to build an offensive fleet. I am also, for simplicity's sake going to round off the gain from this at 5% off 8 trillion, i am just taking numbers out of my behind to get a mental picture. That is 400 billion isk in favor of the alliance who benefits from it. They can field a fleet like this:
- 11 carriers
- 22 dreadnaughts
- 2 motherships
- 2 titans
That is ONTOP of what they can already bring such as battleship support and any other capital ships that possess. Such a fleet can cause isk damage to another alliance up in the trillion mark if fielded under a capable FC.
Lets just play with this a little bit more, if 50% of all exploited materials where used for capitals (10 fleets of the above composition) and each fleet could cause 5 times their worth in billions (400 billion * 5 = 2 trillion isk) that could potentially cause 20 trillion isk in damage to other alliances not gaining from the exploited materials.
I am really stretching far and wide with my numbers, that is where you CCP come in. To show us roughly what kind of effect this has had on the elements not directly related to the eve market. I am in no way knowledgeable enough on the inner workings of 0.0 space and large alliances etc. But as far as i can tell, the major element in 0.0 isn't the market itself but rather the ships an alliance can field for defense and offense.
I will just stop being silly now with my assumptions and speculations and hope that CCP will revise how this affected the player base beyond the market.

SECOND EDIT: Left a few numbers that wasn't supposed to be there.
