I say the goons did what anyone would do with the new LP store.
They figured out the best way to make isk with the programmed mechanics.
They did it really really well.
If they thing had been coded and tested properly, then they wouldn't have been able to do what they did to such an extent.
But it wasn't
That's noones' fault but CCP.
Correcting the problem is fine, but punishing those who showed entrepreneurial spirit would be a far worse blow than any hit the economy has taken by GoonSwarms actions.
The economy will recover itself in time.
But the sandbox will take far longer to recover if CCP acts too harshly in their response.

I think its pretty damn obvious this was not CCP's intention. Delen Ormand wrote:Wait, didn't the bankers make a shitload of money from fraud, then get bailed out with a shitload more money taken from the taxpayer and never really suffer any legal consequences for it? Essentially, yes. Following the op's logic you should just pat them on the back and tell em "Good game guys!". I mean, they were just using the game mechanics, right? -.-
How many of those bankers faced legal consequences? And aside from that, eve isn't real, it's a game. noone was hurt from Goonswarms actions, the bankers cannot say the same.

So, it's OUR responsibility to tell CCP when they mess up?

Ban Bindy wrote:OP is just another goon apologist. There was no nobility in what the Goons did. Enterprise and entrepreneurialism involve offering something that other people want, not taking advantage of a mistake in CCP's design. You insult enterprising people everywhere with that kind of description. Not that I'm surprised, considering the source.
Goon tried to reap another PR bonanza from marginal activities and got their hand slapped. Simple as that. They were not being heroic. Their smugness in the original post about this earned them exactly what they got.
I disagree with your concept of enterprise and entrepreneurism, though you are entitled it.

Morganta wrote:so let me get this straight since the dev blogs show nothing
So certain people discovered an issue with the new FW mechanic on Sisi, reported it and began exploring the potential of this issue.
CCP opted to ignore this rather major issue and push FW out the door hoping that this group of players would support them in sweeping a rather glaring gameplay issue under the rug
The group of players instead decided to exploit the hell out of the issue instead of climbing into the soft comfy chair of ignorance and denial
now CCP is mad that the people who warned them this would happen made it happen so it would be exposed as the sloppy work that it is?
is this about right?
yep. you nailed it.
CCP is acting out like an embarrassed child throwing a tantrum...
