This is a video game. The people who run the video game are well within their rights to run their video game however they please. If they end up overreacting and become vindictive as a result of us informing them about the laughably broken game they provided for us, well I just don't know what our motivation would be in the future to tell them when we find things.

Because?

Actually the ones getting upset are you, getting hostile, changing sigs, I mean really.

Thread started "we" are goons "we" are leet look what we have done, thread ended , nuffin to do with us guv, nuffin I tell you. twas them that dun it.

Funny

It's the age-old "you're mad, aren't you?" "no, I'm not." "yes, you so are. just look at you." "no, I'm not mad." "yeeeees you are, oh yes you are. you're so utterly mad." "sigh. go away please." "mad mad mad mad. you're mad. you're mad. you're mad." *punch in the face* "see? I told you you were mad." technique.

Confirming that buying a $200 keyboard is against the EULA.

amazing how you haven't responded to my question

why would we need to distance ourselves?

I havent got a good argument so I'll start with the very weak personal attacks to try and make him mad

I'd return my keyboard to Best Buy, but it's outside of the return policy. What should I do so I don't get banned for owning a $200 keyboard?

I love you and want your babies Tal.

even if they take away the ISK he made from this he's still ballin' rich

Just re-read the first post in this thread

I'm not understanding what the "epic fail" is there. Please elucidate.

You mean the GM saying:

"If Synergy was used in some way to control your accounts for you without a need for you to be at your keyboard, then that would not be allowed,"

fits perfectly here:
guy uses a macro for not sitting at his keyboard clicking for 14 hours....

thanks Sir

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.

Can i get the goons QQ mails when you fix the bank, plxandthnkx

I have a problem to understand this whole claimed LP shop heist by Goons.

If I look at the items, which the Goons should have purchased in the Minmatar LP shop, they are not crashed yet. So either the Goons lied about the magnitude of their LP shop heist or they still have most of the items, they exchanged in the Fw shop in their hangars or have not exchanged the LPs in anything so far. This would lead to the next question: What will they do with it, if they really have it? Will we see Goon fleets with Republic fleet equipment and with +5 implants and hardwirings in their pods? Will they try to feed their stocks of RF items slowly in the market?

I also do not quite understand in general, what Goons do with their ISKs. We not know, how much money Goons really made out of FW shop manipulations. We do know exactly, they sit on a monopol of Tech. Surprisingly we do not see any of this ISK. Goons still fly the same crappy fleet set ups like a few months ago, while other alliances fly t3 and have still way more Supercapitals. Others also have of course ship reimbursement programs. In other words, the wealth does not reach the average Goon. Where is that money?

Knowing Aryth, he will probably responsibly reinvest it.

I very much doubt CCP want to send out the message that although this is a sandbox, market manipulation, because that was what this was, is only allowed to go as far as to make you a little bit of money, make a lot and you're 'exploiting' the system.

This is always the case of bank robbers. Others are claiming they knew, yet they did not break the law. We did. We had a goal, we met the goal, we turned ourselves in before were caught. Bank robbers. Of course it's self serving. But I don't see anyone else lining up with detailed explanations to the police on how to rob a bank either, or proof it works. We robbed, notified the police. Done.

The bank robbery we did entailed a great deal of preparation, thought, spreadsheets, and capital. No one else moved as fast, or had the resources.

there is literally nothing wrong with doing what you detailed

there are other things involved here

If they do an investigation, and find that the 5 Goon Heroes that did this did not exploit any flaws in the game, and thus are pretty much honor bound to give the assets back... then it's not really "losing control". It's "doing what's right."

Oh, sorry, I forgot. Screwing Goons is always "what's right", even if it damages EVE.

This whole thing is a win win for anyone who likes good fourm rage. Either CCP is going to let this go (and the pubbies will EXPLODE), or they're not (and everyone who values the sandbox will EXPLODE). There may be a 3rd option, but I certainly ain't seeing it.

You'll hear "Their actions are legitimate" from lots of non-goons too, you know.

That's what hearsay is you pubtard, a second hand story.

Joe Paterno helped his buddy **** little boys and people said the same thing about him too.

we're still waiting for you to tell us when your account lapses

after your 20th "I'M UNSUBBING" post

Here is one.



One threat to unsub is all you should need. What is with this arbitrary "2 posts to unsub"?

The only problem is, it's not a bug. The individual parts are working exactly as intended.

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.

The only amount of "community anger" is the Goons and their pets blowing the forums up. Your tears have been filling swimming pools, and I can assume you will only retaliate with another temper tantrum in the form of Burn Jita 2. We all know how your last little temper tantrum a bout Mittani getting a slap on the wrist went. It accomplished nothing and made a joke of your alliance... again.

You guys should really just shut your mouths and take your punishment. I am assuming that all of the crap you keep spewing out is going to make the situation worse for you than it already is.

they don't have to save face because they could have just banned the person riling everyone up over it and spreading a dumb rumor

they also don't have to save face because, well, we literally don't give a crap about wardecs

Ban me.

1st moment - They fill ships with their stuff, blow them up, gain LP.
