Part of that fixing is getting rid of the stuff gained using the problem. You understand. I know you are trolling, but CCP is taking items completely unrelated to the latest activities.
asd3452 Ministry of War Amarr Empire 1	Posted - 2012.06.22 21:39:00 - [3] - Quote PCGamer is currently writing an article about this massive about-face by CCP on Eve as a Sandbox. It should be interesting.
asd3452 Ministry of War Amarr Empire 5	Posted - 2012.06.22 21:46:00 - [4] - Quote CCP is taking unrelated assets from people who used a game mechanic. A mechanic CCP was told about, publicly, before it ever left the test server. CCP was told that this could happen if the patch went in unchanged. The patch went live unchanged.

It should be interesting. It will be very hard for CCP to justify their current actions in relation to Burn Jita. I wonder how CCP will try and back down from this. My guess is they will make a vague but self-congratulatory dev-blog, then quietly return assets after some time passes, while not commenting on it publicly. CCP is in a really bad position given how loudly and proudly they trumpet 'Sandbox' to all the gaming media. My feeling is that Sony is putting pressure on CCP to no longer run EVE as a Sandbox, and instead make it much more like all the other MMOs out there, with little real player-driven economy.

Making a comparison between someone who helped kill thousands and someone who found a loophole in a videogame is moronic. A better comparison is the best people in IT security all started out as hackers and respect the up and coming hackers teaching them new things. A better example would be a Farmer selling Strawberries for $2 less than the local store, and me telling the farmer this, and him not changing the price. Then, I buy all his strawberries and he hits me with a shovel. CCP is the angry dumb farmer with a shovel.

They've done it in the past and they'll do it again. What's more shocking is that Goons did this in the first place. You had to have known you would not be allowed to keep everything Actually they haven't that I know of. The only time they took away anything that I can remember is when they took away the gm/dev generated T2 generated BPOs that were given to Bob. If you think this is similar at all you probably need serious help. CCP also did nothing about the trillions (with a 'T') isk worth of profit BoB and their CCP allies made off the BPOs, 'player' events, etc.
