So noted and I stand corrected.

Does that mean Goonswarm is officially distancing itself from the actions of the members involved?

Whats funny is that Goons try to verbally beat down everyone else, creating their own cute little term for them (pubbies), yet in actual fact they are pubbies who roleplay being moronic idiots. They post a thread about ruining everyones life and then all respond to each other congratualting themselves and calling each other sociopaths etc. (aka that lame Vile Rat ponce's response at the start).

Outside of EvE they are no doubt about as sociopathic as my pet hamster Terrence. Mittani being the biggest role-playing pubbie there is. He absolutely LIVES his little sociopathic image. Quite the "sad little nobody" ego.

We'd be much more convinced of your 'best intentions' if they figoured out the exploit and immediately informed CCP.

Instead, you (rather impressively may i add) exploited the game mechanics to basically create your own isk printing press.

Dont act like you are some white knights here to save EVE from all that is broken.

You mention about how they wanted to avoid 'screwing the economy', well, they might have very well done that anyway.

I am baffled by the fact CCP didn't see this coming and coded a safety break in the system. It was such an obvious exploit and was called out several times by players long before release :facepalm:.

Congrats to goons for pulling this off on such a massive scale. I guess the level of damage done to the system and the estimated time for the economy to recover will guide CCP on how to proceed. I wouldn't be surprised if they called Force Majeure and reverted all/most LP earned to protect the integrity of the game. To bad FW looks more broken than ever.

because......its not a big deal mate

No, not at all and you know it LOL - awesome or exploit that's for others to decide. I was merely intrigued by Richard's response in which he clearly felt it was important to state where the ownership for the event lay. Interesting that you avoided addressing the question yourself VR

In the spirit of providing facts is GS preparing any type of response if CCP having their backsides handed to them whimper their way over to their EULA and wield ban hammers or similar?

Uo was arguably the best sandbox game ever until it was broken up into pieces. If you never experienced it, too bad for you.


So, in your reasoning, only 5 people were to blame for **** Germany, and everyone else was just along for the ride?

and so what? Loosing 4k asshats bent on abusing the game would most likely bring in 20000 more subscriptions. There is a difference between being competitive and what the goons are doing.
Short term pain long game.

When you find the game broken in a way that allows you to exploit it for unintended personal gain, CCP probably won't see things the way you do.

Read the post above. It might be me, but I dont see anything along the lines of "we are so glad certain individuals pointed this out for us and we'll see they keep their just rewards"

You tried to screw CCP and a good it of their customers. I'm not sure they are going to be as grateful as some ppl are hoping. In fact, if and when CCP reverses the damage done all Goonswarm would have done is destroy massive amounts of THEIR OWN assets for... no reason.


One could even say some people are going to be a bit less smug about the money they made? I can't be sure, it's not like a CCP Dev came out and said that for me.

Yeah, wow, gg. You blew all your own stuff up when you could have just filed a bug report.
