I believe that this is the applicable section from the Terms of Service, aka Rules of Conduct:
23. You may not exploit any bug in EVE Online to gain an unfair advantage over other players. You may not communicate the existence of any exploitable bug to others directly or through a public forum. Bugs should be reported through the bug reporting tool on our website.
Note that the general definition of a software "bug" is not limited to coding errors, but includes design errors, as well. In CCP's case, anything that CCP decides to be an "exploit" and for which they implement a code fix is considered a "bug", with regards to this section of the TOS. Also, note that CCP makes no distinction between exploiting a bug before or after it is discovered and announced by CCP - ie. exploiting a bug at any time is considered to be a no-no.
In the past, CCP has been rather strict about exploit violations. They end up costing RL money in terms of dev time to fix any damages, and it usually isn't good business to encourage players to look for and exploit similar bugs in future releases. |

"Goons are better at Internet Spaceships than I am; therefore they are cheating."
The barely literate masses of pubbie filth continue to show that whining is the only recourse they can come up with presented with our superiority. Forget trying to outperform or show appreciation for clever game play usage, let's just ***** and moan and hope CCP gets rid of them all so we can go back to being mediocre and boring.

Yeah, I'm pretty fond of that particular rule, myself. Although, I've never heard of it actually being used in the "no reason" case. |

And the posts from all the internet lawyers dissecting the EULA and TOS are hilarious. Those documents are flimsy justifications that CCP can use to cover their butts. Catch-alls if you will. Your opinion on what is applicable to these activities are just that, opinions, and are utterly irrelevant.
CCP will make the final call here. Quit quoting parts of a document the average pubbie lacks the literacy or intelligence to even understand.

I guess they'd best go back and ban everyone who took advantage of insurance fraud, then. Or everyone who took advantage of NPC sell orders for PI. Or... |

But only if they're goons.
That's the underlying thread in all these posts referencing the EULA and TOS. If the folks that pulled this off hadn't been goons there wouldn't be nearly as much jealousy.

This is a smart use of game mechanics. Perverted, like any market manipulation, but smart.
Congratulations Goons for having such good masterminds... this is not a bug exploit, as manipulating the market pricing is not a bug as it can be manipulated by anyone with enough money (and there are a lot of traders doing this daily).
So I'll stay tuned for your next clever use of the sandbox principle. |

Actually, this is also covered by Section 2D of the EULA:
CCP may establish Rules of Conduct for players accessing the System and may, but is not obligated to, monitor and take action regarding inappropriate conduct.
And, for the record, any "average pubbie" has the ability to read and understand any contract, despite the unnecessary legal mumble jumble. You certainly don't need much in the way of smarts, skills or ambition to become a lawyer - except perhaps the desire to make a lot of money as a parasite (admittedly, this does have some appeal, at times). |

You broke the rules. I just point everyone who think your move was clever to that simple fact.
I am also upset that your move has the power to disrupt/break the Minni-LP-Store (If not the Amar-Minni FW at all) for the foreseable future, if CCP does not do something to reverse their mistake.
What happens now with you is in the hands of CCP, on that fact you are right.

stop posting, your ****** posts take up bandwidth which CCP has to pay for, you're a disgusting blight on the forums and definitely a negative influence on overall enjoyment (my posts on the other hand bring enjoyment to all). According to your clause you should be banned forever and you're probably fat IRL!

So is this another thread where goons pull off some massive heist that no one has ever pulled off before, and half the forums crawl out to meekly argue that it really wasn't that big a deal and goons really were the losers all along, despite the fact that they are now completely saturated with other peoples' isk?
I get that you guys are sick of hearing about goons, but who else is doing anything interesting? Pretty much every other thread here is either bitching about highsec ganking or the new UI.

So we've got Marlona Sky and Jade Constantine, both world renowned goon haters, saying this isn't a game exploit.
I think that pretty much settles it. |
