It's almost as though goons reflexively troll and make **** up. If you want to take a few otherwise unsubstantiated posts as proof that something happened, though, be my guest.

thats terrible

I'm not faced with any consequences, no matter how much you insist on it, because I wasn't involved in this scheme myself in any way. Are you beginning to understand?

Didn't you say you were going to bed three or four pages ago?

Morning, man this thread is just gonna keep on rollin ......

How many pages you think ?



Tal

Guilt by association. One goon can make all of you look bad. It's that simple. That guy standing up with his goonswarm tag on proclaiming how he made a much more powerful entity then goons look bad? That makes all of you look bad.

If it was limited to the game, I wouldn't give a ****. But you are also making all the other players look bad as well. Do you know how much **** eve players take in other forums just because of that **** Mittens pulled at fan fest, followed by his ranting bullshit speeches?

Heh cool CCP should follow a "guilt by association" policy, that'll end well for them, punitive actions against entire alliances for the actions of a few members

Ooh, I like this idea, I'll get an alt into World Welfare Works Association real quick and get the entire alliance banned for I dunno, posting rumors or something.

Serious question Sreegs, is this kind of thing actually cheating ? (ie against the rules) I read their document a couple of nights ago and though sure it really did blow massive holes through the eve game mechanics in order to make a giant profit - was it actually illegal ?

yes. exploit is exploit. ISK may not have been created from thin air, but LP was.

Has anyone actually had their mind changed on their opinion about this? I mean from the 113 pages of debating back and forth. Or has everyone just entrenched in even further than they were before?

p+¬tur aka CCP Xhagen says. "Technically speaking, they were not doing anything that was forbidden. Thus, it is unclear what will be done."

yes. exploit is exploit. ISK may not have been created from thin air, but LP was.

Probably said somewhere in the depths of the prior 114 pages of posts, but...

You played right into CCP's hands!

At Fanfest, CCP stated it was there intent to reduce the rampant inflation by:

* Removing ISK from the game using the established ISK sinks. DONE. You Goons fed CCP's ISK sinks with market orders fees, and, I imagine, as partial payment for those LP store purchases.

Good job, Goons. You played into CCP's hands. You reduced inflation, AND MADE YOUR INVESTMENT WORTH LESS.


* You have successfully flooded the market with Goods. Less ISK, more Goods. You Goons have played into CCP's (unmentioned) goal to increase Goods (to bolster the other half of the Eve Balance Sheet) in order to reduce rampant inflation. (By the looks of it, you exchanged worthless Goods for high-value Goods, at a marginal cost. And, you Goons destroyed vast mineral reserves, another CCP goal.) Just as we saw a huge drop in prices on skill books and the other items *given away by CCP* for the 9th anniversary of Eve, we shall be able to mark this day, Goon's Fool Day, as the day that prices plummeted in Eve, making your investment worth less.

Good job, Goons. You played into CCP's hands. You reduced inflation, AND MADE YOUR INVESTMENT WORTH LESS.

* Simply on the face of it, you paid less for the items than the general market rate. This is, by very definition, deflation.


Good job, Goons.

(But, no, really, good job. Excellent gaming the system. Just too bad you PLAYED INTO CCP's HANDS AND MADE YOUR INVESTMENT WORTH LESS.)

Same thin air I get LP from when completing any mission

inject

cool story bro.

Whatever...

If someone really has 300 trillion ISK they made from this I would think they would become bored shitless. No more challenges in game...

Where do people keep getting these numbers?

Create a fake database value to be used in FW LP reward calculation for ship kills, then go inject fake database number into calculation for LP by killing a ship with fake database number in cargo or as ship. Sell LP and Profit.

I'm just going to leave this here.
However, let me leave you a quick TL:DR, for those of you too lazy to actually expend the effort of clicking on a link.
