One of them was actually trying to contact his Mitness, but as of yet has not heard from him. It may be that Der Mittani is out of town for the weekend.

Thought he was a mittens alt?

"You" (dont exactly mean you personally) did not ask if it was ok for to exploit the game mechanic this way. And so you did not get cover. Something in the back of your head would have said "beware". Ignore the message and get punished. Back again to golden rule: Always ask before you act! I came close to be ban myself but the difference is i acted on the "beware" message and so i did not get banned. |

nah they just lot that alt high sec transit corp they use when wardecced. Im betting it has enough to cover rhe spread.

Mate why are you arguing whether it was legal or not the original op new it wasn't and reported it to CCP as a possible exploit (unfortunately after he had rinsed it) so where is the argument ?

What I'm arguing is that taking any proceeds of this off the players is completely the opposite of every known precedence. Nobody got their Nocx removed after refining Pax. Nobody got their Guidance Systems deleted when Tyrannis hit. Nobody got negwalleted after insurance scamming. None of these were intended, and yet CCP is doing a total 180 on their previous decisions.

Yeah but at the same time the scale of this was huge, and CCP probably need/want to send a message that this sort of thing is bad . Might have been different if he hadn't of posted about it on the forums and just had a quiet word.... who knows.
Anyhow I've been out all day anything happened or still waiting for CCP to make a call ?

i remember it was something else. It wasnt just cos trained togther. I cant remember exactly the whole explanation given but i do "think" it had to do with match fixing and having entring two teams instead of one. It wasnt just one thing as you make it look like.

you know damn perfectly well that this is nothing like buying a maelstrom and reseling it. This is nothing compared to that. We are talking of 3 trillions of isk and market manipulation based on a vulnerability (exploit of mechanic). If you are gonna exploit a mechanic then you ask if its within the rules so that you are covered. Dont try to down play 3 trillions of isk and market manipulation of a game mechanic. Once again if you did not read the EULA go and do so again. |

Its not. EULA says that if exploting game mechanic = ban That includes also "design flaw" since at the end of all its all written in code and exploting a game mechanic is also exploiting a game flaw. All this means : goons exploited a game mechanic by exploiting a design flaw |

Sounds like you're seeing a number bigger than you're used too and going "wow, that must have been an exploit". There's absolutely no reason to assume that just because it's profitable it's againt the EULA. If you'd like to explain this supposed "vulnerability", be my guest, but you'll probably want to read the OP another few times to understand what was going on. |
