Back then some of the comunity (AkitaT and some others) were more or less wondering what the hell was going on with T2.
(I was not tracking anything Tec 2 related at the time because I was shiping T1 mat between 2 regions while trying to keep up with my build orders in a third, when I looked at the numbers where I was my initial reaction (based on the region I was in at the time) at first was that it was the normal reaction to a hord-manipulate-dump cycle) the developers aparently were thinking at first along the lines of meh just the usual price dive because someone came back into the game or dumped inventory at first, but some of the market people were noteing some odd things (who and where selling was happening)(that and for some reason some of the developers were thinking there was more Alchemy going on than was actualy going on, I suspect they may have had an Idea as to how many setups existed but not how many were actualy running, I know I saw several defacto abandoed setups at the time from some of the fuel runs I was doing)
Frankly back then they did not develop the kind of tracking tools for all of this that they have nowdays. in part because frankly they did not think they needed them. |

This just doesn't make any sense to me. A group of people exploited a game mechanic to make ungodly amounts of LP and ISK and you are rewarding them for it? I guarantee if this was anyone else but Goons they would have been banned.
CCP your favoritism is showing and not in a good way.
did you miss the part where we had our LP and assets (including a goodly portion of non-involved assets) seized pending investigation because that was a thing that did and is still happening Clearly CCP hires exclusively from Goons and there's some extremely vague grand conspiracy which may involve aliens, butterscotch, a toaster, at least 17 deimos', and masking tape.
you forgot the cattleprod. |

I can't speak for CCP, but that is what, but that's what the interior of the Goonwaffe Economic Cabal looks like.
